It's just one of many private ranges.

Sure, it's one of many, but how often do you see ithay specific (42) block used? I honestly don't think I ever, outside of a pentest lab. The 172.16.42.0/24 (not just any 172.16 like you're saying) block is the default for a WiFi Pineapple. Any other range is usually ok, but the 42 on a /24 granting WAN access specifically would make me (and most people who actually know what a WiFi Pineapple is) avoid that network.

Saying 172.16.0.0/12 is usually for pentesting scummy thing is very misleading...Saying it's dangerous is like saying every websites using .xyz domain is dangerous(which makes little more sense than this, btw)

You clearly don't know what a WiFi Pineapple is, because we're zeroing in on the 42 and you liken it to the entire 172.16 block. And linking every .xyz domain to a specific block (42) that is used by default for a pentest device is even more misleading.

There's nothing at all suspicious about the 172.16.0.0/12 address block.

Correct. However the 172.16.42.0/24 block is the default for a WiFi Pineapple. Any other range is usually ok, but the 42 on a /24 specifically would make me (and most people who actually know what a WiFi Pineapple is) avoid that network.

Do they all really? I know GrapheneOS does, and I think DivestOS even says "use my OS to stay as up to date as possible, but if you have a current/supported Pixel, use GrapheneOS instead for superior security." But I don't recall other OSes really going "we're more secure than GrapheneOS and here's why."

if used for work...Features? Don't care.

Most organizations care about maintaining document compatibility, especially formatting, and that usually means Office365. Microsoft is notorious for publishing a standard and then ignoring their own standard, making it exceedingly difficult to use other office suites.

I've heard OnlyOffice does the best at maintaining compatibility.

It's doomed to become a nazi bar...you can just go to an instance with admins you trust better or make your own instance

Ok, how is that different than Nostr? Don't like your Lemmy instance admins rolling against your Nazi views? Join a different instance. Nazi sympathetic instance gets defederated by everyone else? Make your own instance.

But generally I'm not a fan of the stuff I've heard and read about the Nostr protocol so far.

Can you elaborate?

That's the joke.

I'm hoping for a Pixel Tablet 2 with this (Pixel Tablet doesn't have it, but the Pixel 8 does for some reason) and MTE security capability, and I'll transition to that with GrapheneOS over a laptop.

[–] FutileRecipe@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I haven't tested it personally, but I think GrapheneOS (easily the best Android OS for Pixels, in my opinion) has had it for Pixel 8s since the end of October 2023. Here's a quick guide I saw: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/9775-pixel-8-desktop-mode-guide-and-personal-experience

Other than Google pay...

Google Pay's Tap to Pay does not work on GrapheneOS.

Just did a super quick glance, but are you really considering QKSMS maintained?

Startpage, which is still recommended over at privacyguides.org

For now. There is an open pull request to remove it due to Startpage fingerprinting users (I didn't delve into it to see if it's true, but that was the reason given). And just because it's been suggested doesn't mean it will be removed, so time will till.

This announcement is from the Lawnchair Discord:

Lawnchair 14 has arrived!

After about 2 years, we're delighted to announce that Lawnchair 14 has finally arrived!

Based on Launcher3 from Android 14, this release works with QuickSwitch from Android 10 to Android 14! You won't need to use an older version to integrate with the system.

Some major highlights:
• Search your phone, the web, and more with our new Global Search — no root needed!¹
• View flight info, see surrounding traffic, and keep an eye on your data usage with Smartspacer — all integrated within Lawnchair.²
• Want to further control your icons? Fret not, We now support custom icon packs for themed icons, alongside some new icon options.³
• Themers rejoice — you can now hide the Dock for a cleaner home screen. You can also change even more colors, fonts, and padding.
• Are you tired of Lawnchair crashing because of widgets? We've fixed that issue; you won’t need to do some hacky workaround to add them.⁴

Alongside that, we have a new partnership with Startpage — searching with Startpage (via the dock search bar or App Drawer search) helps support Lawnchair’s development.

We still have more things to share! See the announcement on our website for more information.

¹ Experimental feature, requires opt in Lawnchair Settings.
² Requires Smartspacer and respective plugins.
³ Requires a supported icon pack .
⁴ May still persist depending on the device.

Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice

I'm not really big on "let's make a movement", but this independent dev has been hit with a cease-and-desist from making a FOSS Home Assistant addon for their Haier air conditioners.

Haier claims that they are losing out on millions of dollars due to this plugin which... lets you control their air conditions from home assistant. They haven't bothered to explain how that's possibly worth millions of dollars - they're just claiming it.

So of course they hit the Streisand button and are demanding that he takes it down. He of course is complying... in a couple of days. Maybe you see where this is going.

It would be an absolute shame if any of you just happened to create a fork, or clone the code, or mirror it in your own instance. An absolute shame.

Just so everyone here knows which repositories NOT to clone or fork, here are the two links:

and please, don't repost this anywhere, or share it in other communities, or anything like that. It's a shame that so many people already know and are making clones. I'm just letting you know so you don't do anything like telling others who may make their own copies.

(sidenote: Haier owns GE Appliance, so for our American folks it may affect you folks too)

 

Please add Voyager to the Accrescent App Store, "a private and secure Android app store built with modern features in mind. It aims to provide a developer-friendly platform and pleasant user experience while enforcing modern security and privacy practices and offering robust validity guarantees for installed apps."

This app store, while small, is supposed to be more secure than alternatives. And yes it is small, but it also won't grow if devs don't add to it.

Their publishing guide and requirements can be found here: https://accrescent.app/docs/guide/publish/requirements.html

 

New Donation/IAP has missing background. Looks like it should have a background, but doesn't, so some words are on top of each other. This is on light mode, whereas dark mode doesn't have this issue.

v1.23.1

Edit: v1.23.2 fixes this.

 

HOTFIX 1 - JULY 18 & 19, 2023 - 1.1.0

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the overall drop rate of Aberrant Cinders in Helltide was lower than intended.
  • Fixed an issue where Seeds of Hatred could be collected at an extreme rate when using the Hatred’s Chosen buff against Necromancer minions and Druid pets. This buff has now been re-enabled with this hotfix.

Miscellaneous

  • Further stability improvements.

Pretty much the title. That way Block isn't so lonely in its own long click menu. Also, they're both two sides of the same coin, so makes sense to have them together.
