I almost had jury duty a while back so I thought I might take public transit to that. Car trip is 25-30 minutes. Public is 2.5 hours and I would arrive 45 minutes before the courthouse opened.

My modded switch lite with new shell and joycons! Got these from aliexpress since the original shell was cracked and the joycons had some dead zones. Whole process took about 3.5 hours (with child interruptions). I had some pics of the soldering but seem to have lost them.

Somebody is going to get killed from this.

Manuls aren't super hard, but there's definitely a learning curve you can't avoid. Since you'll be in a new country you'll have enough going on and don't want to add to any stress, I would really recommend renting an automatic.

I won't believe a single poll until this election is over. There is so much incentive for misinformation out there it is unbearable. Just get out and vote.

Hi all,

Currently trying to DeGoogle my phone. I'm down to the last few apps. I want to replace the Phone and Messages apps.

I tried the Fossify versions from FDroid but was met with mixed problems. The first is the phone app. The Fossify version doesn't have Spam call warnings like the Google version. The Fossify version also doesn't have a voicemail button, not really a deal breaker but nice to have.

Second was a bigger problem though, the messages app. At first it seemed to work, but couldn't send pictures after a short time. I usually send picture links anyway so not the worst but kind of annoying. After a while I would start getting delays in receiving standard SMS messages and finally wasn't able to send any messages at all. I switched back to Google messages and everything worked flawlessly immediately. Also I turned off RCS in Google messages prior to switching.

If any of you could recommend a good SMS/Phone app i would appreciate it.

  • QKSMS is unmaintained as are a lot of other SMS apps in the stores.
  • I've got a Pixel 7 with the stock OS, but will be moving to LineageOS soon.
  • I use Signal when I can, but I have clients that I can't simply request they use a whole separate app just for me.
  • Using T-Mobile

So this guy is the CEO of like 5 companies and he still has time to pretend to be a kid on Twitter? Is he really working that hard? Is he working so much harder that he's worth 20,000x the average worker?

Interestingly the release notes include this section:

fusee no longer supports applying IPS patches to KIPs.

Followed up by:

The IPS subsystem was originally designed to make nogc patches work for FS, but these are now internal, and it appears the literal only kip patches that exist are for piracy.

Does this indicate Atmosphere is going to become more hostile for any form of piracy?

Stopped sharing... until they can manage the pr? No way they're letting go of that revenue stream.

Well I could only read the first 2 paragraphs due to paywall, but it's definitely the phones causing all this and certainly not late stage capitalism sucking the energy and empathy out of everything around us right?

I've seen poorer documentation than this I suppose.

Not sure if this is the right place.

The last few days I've been experiencing a few issues resolving DNS on my home network. Strangely, rebooting the router seemed to fix it for a time. After running into the issue again I decided to investigate further. I'm using a Mikrotik router with my PC wired in with ethernet cable. The router is using DoH to Quad9 (https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query as per their documentation). I've also imported root certificates for validation.

As of right now, my desktop cannot resolve dns against 9.9.9.9, however it can resolve dns against 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8.

$ dig @9.9.9.9 reddit.com

;; communications error to 9.9.9.9#53: timed out

Interestingly also cannot curl the DoH URL (also a timeout). I thought maybe Quad9 is having issues so I jumped over to my EC2 instance, and I can dig/curl just fine.

I also turned on debug logging on the router, the logs indicate the same issue my desktop is having (timeout errors, sometimes and SSL handshake error).

My question to you all is, have I missed something in my testing/setup, or is Comcast blocking Quad9?

Additional info:

The mikrotik is the latest firmware (6.49.10). I can switch to CloudFlare DoH on the router and it works fine. I can remove the DoH setting entirely and it works. I've got 8.8.8.8 as a static DNS server and the 2 comcast dns servers are dynamic (75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76). NTP is setup and the router has the correct date/time/timezone.

As of this writing rebooting the router is no longer temporarily fixing the problem.

Edit:

Thanks u/melmi@lemmy.blahaj.zone !

Per their post the status page shows issues in my area: https://uptime.quad9.net/

Systemd apparently. Every time someone brings it up, the thread devolves into a religious flame war.

Ublock dashboard, filter lists, purge cache and update. Should work

Imagine having nothing else going on in your life, that inventing shitty anti-trans memes and posting them to a modest traffic site is the highlight of your day...
