There were two or three MIPS Android tablets long time ag, at the time of Android 5. Now Android does not have MIPS support anymore.

I would rather bother some of my ex-colleagues than spend a week on something as unproductive as a string of interviews, with whiteboard coding exercises having nothing in common with real-life work, and that's when you reach the technical interview and not get rejected earlier over some trivial corporate bullshit, like your CV sent in PDF and not in .doc format.

Bold of you to assume that Linux is not mainstream. Most servers run Linux, most phones run Linux, it's only your work PC that still runs Windows, and it increasingly becomes an isolated bubble of old white corporate dudes who keep buying Windows PCs because that's what they used for twenty years to run their spreadsheets.

Kinda dumb recipes, all of them can be done cheaper or better with other hardware.
Raspberry PI is for using those sweet GPIO pins to control your industrial robot lathe, not for running network storage, which you can do cheaper by plugging an SSD into your router's USB port.

Well then.

they are still supporting WinForms with modern, cross platform .Net builds, meaning that you can use modern C# and .Net features in a runtime that is supposed to have been replaced by their XAML products a long time ago.
Microsoft is all about corporate clients, that's why their Windows is backwards compatible down to Windows 95, because there is some big corporation that buys the corporate license in bulk and runs some corporate Windows 95 accounting application on it.

Unless you want to create your own custom ROM, the only general solution is to raise enough stink so that Google fixes it themselves.

Settings -> System -> Multiple users.
Add another user, and install all your spyware apps from this user account. These apps should be unable to access your primary account, including other installed apps, they will see only an empty Android phone.
You will need to create a new Google account on your PC first if you want to install apps. Also configure two-factor authentication using your PC or another phone, because you won't be able to switch to your authenticator app on your primary account quickly enough to copy the one-time password to your new account.

#3 is my script that converts one particular RSS feed to .ical format, and pushes it to a repo, because setting up a website for one silly script was overkill.

I was forced to code in Perl one time, there's no way it could be good.

Is 300 nm the diameter of the optical cable? This terminology breaks my brain, 300 nm is 1000 terahertz, which is unreasonably large for a signal bandwidth, it's like one milllion Ethernet cables.

KDE Connect works great to sync SMS from Android to PC, and they have an iPhone app, although I never tested it.

They had finally added a package manager to systemd, your apt and dnf and emerge are deprecated now.

That name was straight copied from
And the phrasing was intentional.

I've achieved something today. Not anything useful, but still something.


Browser-based notifications are easy to turn off, and it's probably the only way to get a message on a desktop PC without subscribing to email or using RSS. Also you don't need to install an app on your phone.

Password strength is usually checked inside your browser, not on the server.

But it's very convenient! When you have a BSOD, you don't need your core dumped, you simply unplug your DRAM+ and send it to Microsoft using paper mail.

Ah don't worry, if you do fopen(file, "w")
on Windows and forget to use "wb"
flag, it will automatically replace all your \n
with \r\n
when you do fwrite
, then you will try to debug for half a day your corrupted jpeg file, which totally never happened to me because I'm an experienced C++ developer who can never make such a novice mistake.

I have improved my Marmite banana recipe

I have mixed sour cream with Marmite to make it spread more evenly over banana, and the taste is... not good. The salt overpowers all other components. It's even worse than plain Marmite banana, because you can actually taste the banana before Marmite diffuses over your tongue. The best combination was cream banana without Marmite, to no surprise.

Marmite cream oat cookie is a surprising discovery. The overpowering saltness of Marmite is balanced by the overpowering sweetness of the oat cookie, the same way salted caramel works. I don't think the cream is even necessary, you can rub Marmite on the cookie's hard surface much easier than on the soft banana.

I invented a recipe


If combining two things from a fridge could be called a new recipe. It tastes good, I promise.

I bought 1 liter bottle of cologne today


The shop also had regular sprink bottles with the same cologne, but this bottle is shaped like a fuel can, so it looked manlier to me. It contains 80% alcohol, so it's also a disinfectant and an after-shave.

Plasma activities are STILL broken
I don't need any fancy tiling window managers. One fullscreen window per desktop, and 12 virtual desktops, that was my workflow for 10 years. Then I incorporated KDE activities into my workflow, which are exactly like virtual desktops but switched with Meta-Tab not with Ctrl-F1 - Ctrl-F12. Wonderful!
And then, Plasma devs broke it. Switching activities now puts my foreground fullscreen window (one per desktop) into background, and switches keyboard focus to the desktop. Give me back my keyboard shortcuts, and you could also rename Plasma back to KDE while you're at it, thank you very much.
At least there is a bug opened, but it's doubtful that Plasma devs will fix it before Debian 13 release. I can't even find motivation to update my OS anymore.

TIL if you google 'Comic Sans', the search results webpage will change font to Comic Sans


Also works for searches 'Times new roman' and 'Courier new font', but not for 'Lucida console font' or 'Dejavu sans font'.

Pasta with fresh tomato sauce

- Get half-kilo of fresh tomatoes, three onions, and three carrots. You can use the cheapest tomatoes for this, the heat treatment will average the taste. Wash everything. Chop onions and carrots, dump into the frying pan. Add salt.

- Fry diced onions and carrots in a pan, using a generous finger-thick layer of oil, preferrably olive, until the onions don't sting anymore and carrots start to soften.

- Cut tomatoes in 2 pieces each, you'll mash them anyway so thin slices do not matter. Dump tomatoes into the pan. Cover with a lid, cook on a slow fire for about 10 minutes until they become sauce. Mash and stir each 3 minutes so they won't burn. Cooking less will prese

Request: select and copy text with a long-press
I often want to copy some phrase from a post to search it on the web. Long-pressing post text minimizes this post into a single line, which is not very useful IMO, I would rather have text selection cursor like in a web browser.

Recommend me some Android games
I've unlocked all weapons in Vampire Survivors, and I'm too bored to grind the remaining 14 unlocks.
Please recommend me some proper, $10 up-front games.

Feature request: switch from list view to fullwidth view when opening individual post
I want to open large image with comments below when clicking on a post, like in Jerboa
