Can't wait for the day when people just start installing recursive resolvers on their computers -- or even better, when ISPs start doing it on their routers. Which I could totally imaging happening on a future version of the Freebox router of French ISP Free.fr.

Then Canal+ and co would have to go after the websites again, instead of going after easily identifiable public DNS servers again. That would be fun to see.

Yeah, they did the same in Ingress: film a portal (pokéstop/gym) while walking around it to gain a small reward. I've always wondered what kind of dataset they were building with that -- now we know!

I've used it for years almost everywhere (terminal, IDE, my blog, even DuckDuckGo/Kagi with Iosevka Aile) and I absolutely love it. Looks great everywhere, and highly readable.

Yep. But hey, blame video games instead of his policy, and maybe next time old people will vote for him instead of Le Pen!

I use 1.5x on my Framework 13 laptop (2256x1504) and it works perfectly :) Way better than Xorg, especially when using multiple displays with different scales or fractional scales.

For the mouse cursor, I had the same issue with Xwayland windows until I explicitly setup a cursor theme. Now that works too... and I suspect it was also because of that display scale thing.

Pretty common in France too: the tree is néflier, the fruit is nèfle. Disappointed too as I could find this with a simple Wikipedia search...

I've been using BazQux for years and could not be happier with it. Only time I had to get in touch for an issue with a specific feed, it was fixed in a few hours.

Unless you use git reflog.

I'm just a user and I'm pretty happy with Migadu as well. I only contacted them once, and got a reply within a few hours. And a real reply, with technical details, written by someone who obviously understood the question very well.

The webmail is really basic though: it's basically Rainloop (https://www.rainloop.net/) without any plugin.

I think this is a better test:

$ openssl enc --help 2>&1 | grep gcm -aes-128-ecb -aes-128-gcm -aes-128-ofb -aes-192-ecb -aes-192-gcm -aes-192-ofb -aes-256-ecb -aes-256-gcm -aes-256-ofb
