Huh…the more you know. I just assumed Magisk was a spiritual successor, apparently I misunderstood how any of it works.

This!
APK signatures exist and they’re enough for making sure the file you got isn’t modified. Warning people when they use apks for stuff like banking, I get, but if they wanna take the risk, it’s on them.
Blocking root makes no sense because I’d argue that if the person knows enough to root their phone and got past all those bricked phone/thermonuclear war warnings, the onus is on them to not get their keychain compromised by giving root to some random app. Again, a warning is fine.
Aside from that, people need to understand: THE CLIENT IS NEVER SECURE. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Any self respecting secure API is made under the assumption that all the calls are coming from some malicious state actor using curl
until proven beyond doubt that it’s an actual user.
I’ve used Magisk with the safetynet module + hiding root from apps with like a 95% success rate. Quick search for “magisk safetynet” and look at the xdadevelopers threads
Whoa, is Xposed still a thing that works? Had to use Magisk instead to get the safety net stuff working on Lineage OS android 11
Hardware isn’t everything. Apple has a couple of advantages over iPhone that let them do more with less:
The selling points for Android (at least the way I’ve seen it over the years) have always been full control (talking about non-root, I’d rather not go down the root rabbit hole here) and (since iPhone 11 started doing firmware blocks on parts) reparability…but both seem to be going out the window lately.
Prices are crap though, but then again Android phones on the top end don’t seem much better. 1-2 gen old iPhones are usually a bit more reasonable though tbh.
The more I think about it, this may finally convince me to…shudders…switch to an iPhone. I’ve always stayed on Android because despite the recent Google bullshit, it still for the most part lets me do whatever. Side-loading apks is a huge part of that.
If it’s turning into a shittier iOS clone, what’s the point?
There’s a bank here that refuses to let you log into their app if you have developer options enabled. Their service was getting much better until that point, but I dropped them completely after that.
I use developer options to get better screen density on my large ass screen, and to you know…develop apps 🤷♂️
FUCK THESE ASSHOLES WHO THINK THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN NOT DO WITH MY PHONE
This was an interesting read. Good to know that from now on I should treat official CDs just like pirated content: with caution.
I used to pirate games because I couldn’t buy them. Now I pirate games because the publishers are greedy cunts who do layoffs to appease shareholders, shutter studios that make good games, and pull all the shit Sony’s pulling this year 🖕
This was so god damn good!
Have you tried fzf and it’s history integration? Ctrl+R and youre fuzzy finding through your history. I don’t know how I lives without it
Oh boy, my time to shine:
mkd
- Create directory and immediately cd
into itdei
- docker exec -i
dps
- docker ps
mdocker
- Switch to minikube’s docker contextn
- nvim
n.
- nvim .
Exampes use pnpm
but I have them for yarn
, npm
, and bun
too
pi
- pnpm install
pd
- pnpm run dev
sdh
- Search home directory (directories, recursive)fuckyou
- git push --force
nano
- nvim
createpgdb
- Create a postgres db on the given container with the given name
Usage: createpgdb "postgres container" "db name"
I have similar ones for dropdb
and pg_dump
. Here’s the command:
f() { local __user; if [ -z $3 ]; then __user=postgres; else __user=$3; fi; docker exec -i $1 createdb -U $__user $2; unset -f f; }; f'
I’m no cryptography expert but I don’t see how they could implement this with true anonymity or without it being spoofed in other browsers. There is currently no way to know with absolute certainty what browser/client web traffic is actually coming from and game anti-cheat devs will probably tell you it’s a nightmare of a problem.
The way I see this working is making it a Mozilla account thing and not a Firefox thing through some sort of stateless cross-origin cookie the sites agree to support. But then, you’re giving up at least some privacy because even if the sites you visit don’t know who you are, you’ll still have to trust that Mozilla is logging anonymized visit counts and that some CEO 5 years from now isn’t going to change that for a quick buck.
Maybe I’m just out of my depth here and someone’s gonna correct me (please do if I’m wrong).
The season 1 intro is so god damn pitch perfect I think it makes what is an incredible season of television seem like crap by comparison.
Hyperboly obviously, the show’s amazing
This PR/meme is my spirit animal
I have an init.sh file I run from my dotfiles. Pipe my sudo password to it and leave it alone for about an hour. Gets things 95% of the way to how I like them.
I should migrate to ansible like u/djehuti@programming.dev but time :(
Fair enough, just saw the “if you’re not an IT worker” comment haha
Ah, my use case right now is almost exclusively streaming stuff from my laptop to a phone with HEVC support over a local network so I can just turn transcoding off and be okay.
I did however have issues with my lack of transcoding (I turned it off myself, not Jellyfin’s fault. Pitchforks down, people) on a tablet without hardware HEVC support though so I may have to experiment with it soon.
FWIW I had to go in and turn the feature off but there’s also a good chance it was using CPU instead of GPU
Oh come on, it’s better to be helpful if you can rather than just saying “for you” and adding nothing else to the conversation.
Seriously I’m sure they’d love to try it again if the issue is resolved. I know I wouldn’t pick Plex over Jellyfin unless I had no choice.
Yup that sounds about right for iOS.
Meant more that if Android ends up in the same boat (and by the looks of it, that’s exactly what Google and Samsung want), then iOS starts to look viable because the situation becomes: all the same bullshit but iOS is polished to a shine.
Don’t plan on switching phones until my less than year old Note 9 kicks the bucket 😅
