    yes, I just found this out recently ! privacy guides have a section on this: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/#android

    Android 9 and above support DNS over TLS. The settings can be found in: Settings → Network & Internet → Private DNS.

    This release includes major improvements to performance, specifically optimizations of database queries. Special thanks to @phiresky, @ruud, @sunaurus and many others for investigating these.

    Love to see the community coming together to improve things !

    it comes down to wayland, i3 only supports Xorg, sway only supports wayland.

    as far as features goes sway was built to be pretty much a drop in replacement for i3 with a few improvements.

    I think its a nice alternative to developers to offer software that is not available on your package manager, but having a distro offer multiple different ways of installing a package is not a good idea, I'm talking about ubuntu of course, as a user I just want to apt-get update/upgrade and be sure my system is up to date, snap undermines that because I'm not sure anymore. also I don't understand why I need to close the app I'm using to update it with snap, if the app is containerized I should be able to install multiple versions without affecting each other.

    I mean yeah, the only reason people have to believe elder scrolls 6 is in development is that teaser from 2018, and honesty they probably only made that teaser to temper expectations.

    1. content mods: there are mods that add new content to the game like new quest lines, companions, or even new regions to the game.
    2. new challenges: limit yourself to only using magic or not using potions/food items for healing, or using survival mods that require eating/drinking
    3. role playing: you don't need to be the dragonborn every playthrough, try being a merchant or a mercenary, etc.

    However, the two Jumpsec Red Team members found that they could go around the restriction by changing the internal and external recipient ID in the POST request of a message, thus fooling the system into treating an external user as an internal one.

    so they only do the check on client side. classic.

    love cat -n, when working with csv files I often use a command like this to figure out which column I need:

    head -n1 file.csv | sed 's/,/\n/g' | cat -n

    Its a way to prioritize which posts you are going to read. if there are only 10 posts you can read all of them, if there are 1000 maybe not, depends on how much time you have, but when people can vote on which posts they find interesting there is a good chance you will find the most voted interesting as well.
