The fuck? (Edit: Although, does it have a map?)

Hmm…

AliExpress has no right to be that large, neither Opera. No reason to store that much cache. (Edit: cache and cookies are only around 500MB total. Hmmm…) Also, I set F-Droid to keep cached apps for 1 hour, what the hell is this?

I kind of forgot to manage my storage, as I usually do until I have like 5GB left…

Data will always adapt to storage size.

They even have Android app. I mean, a server app.
Anyway, they still seem to paywall some things.

I did nothing. After using either the default 200MB or the 80MB I pay for it’s supposed to be throttled, but that kinda just… doesn’t happen. I activated a 2nd SIM of those yesterday, same thing. The most I used in a month was some 28GB (out of 80MB), getting me as much as 150Mbps in cities covered by LTE-A from Telekom (this SIM can connect to Telekom, Orange and O2).

Though I just went back to my previous carrier and keep this as a backup. The second SIM I put into a USB modem. May come in handy if I finally decide to try Tailscale.

Searching around, I found someone with the same “issue” for a different provider on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoContract/comments/ntul3w/unlimited_data_sim_for_only_45year/

Also a one that was meant to have 64kbps unlimited, but it just… wasn’t throttled. But based on one comment they fixed it later which I assume will happen here too. Almost 4 months so far though.

But perhaps they just don’t care that much. Based on ToS I can be charged extra €1.30/GB (excl. VAT) since I use permanent roaming, and perhaps I will as it is defined as >50% of usage in EU roaming for the past 4 months. Maybe they just rely on that to kick in…? Also the data warning states “…may be probably temporarily restricted.”, which is just so oddly phrased.

But most likely scenario, someone just fucked up the config.

I found yet another such fuck up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/c6ilbp/bought_the_new_15gb_international_data_pass_didnt/

Dude used up 24GB out of 15GB high-speed data pass.

It can happen both ways though. My current carrier accidentally (I hope) set the limit to half the one stated in ToS. This was reversed already. I assume it was an accident, because they plainly stated the incorrect limit in SMS as well.

I am just reading this on my laptop, sitting on a bed in shrimp-like shape with laptop (a ThinkPad of course) on top of egg carton (called Eggsbox 360 based on The Two Ronnies skit) which is on top of a pillow while listening to music from a CD being played on an e-waste sourced 5.25" DVD drive attached via SATA to USB that can only reliably load CDs (perhaps because the USB provided power is less than half max spec of 2A) and accessing the internet via USB cellular modem using cheap IoT SIM that has broken (not applied) throttling (instead of 64/32kbps).

My every usage of assistant boiled down to just “What’s this song?”, so I just replaced it with Shazam.

Gemini… having tried it, you will surely get an answer, perhaps based on random magic.

Canonical taking notes

But it seems there is a 2048 character limit, so unfortunately no storing of files in base64 data URI.

Would the Shrek script be compatible too?

Well, fuck it, now it doesn’t.

Just do a little… and you’ll be good to go.

Safari was also late to implement AV1 video support. Based on caniuse website, only MS Edge was later, though you could install an extension to get it running.

Oh, and when I say “support”, I mean you’d have to buy a new device.

Supported only on devices with hardware decoder, e.g. iPhone 15 Pro, M3 MacBook Pro, etc.

Edit: Chrome since v. 70 (2018-10-16), Firefox fully since v. 67 (2019-05-21), Firefox partially since v. 55 (2017-08-08) whatever “Not supported by default, but can be enabled” means, Safari since v. 17 on newer devices (2023-09-26)

I am pretty sure they experienced some KDE Ingenuity.

Example:

You can see they can’t be real files due to their total size:

Unfortunately, at least on Arch it seems a bit broken. The CD keeps spinning at low speed with audible random searches and the file transfer speed is abysmal. Copying out one 3.5MiB MP3 took it almost 2 minutes.

Yup, that’s done by AudioCD Kioslave.

Bluetooth has fairly low bitrate which also helps save power. The throughput will also vary with signal quality. It needs to somehow adjust to worse conditions, otherwise it will just keep cutting out. Streaming CD quality FLAC could probably be done over Bluetooth 5 2M PHY, but 2Mbps is just the physical layer. There’s also some overhead. Perhaps just enough would be left, but the bitrate will also vary with the content. Not everything can be compressed much, while some audio can be compressed quite a bit.

Probably would work, but the reliability is also a question.

Anyway, just guessing. Perhaps the 3Mbps EDR could be used just fine.

Oh, Bluetooth 3.0 + HS could do 24Mbps. Sort of. It used WiFi to do that.

I see you attempted spoiler.

Welp, that was my only reason to specifically get a ThinkPad. I got to use one at school and quickly got used to it. I wanted to keep that experience, so I bought a ThinkPad. I’ve used the TrackPad precisely 0 times, I have it permanently disabled. If I run out of space for stickers, I’ll put them over the TrackPad as well.

I’d say the TrackPoint, once you get used to it, becomes an extension of the finger.

Only annoying thing is the occasional drift.

A bit unrelated, but if you have DD-WRT on WiFi router with USB, you can install Entware. There’s also a few games.

I used to play Tetris (vitetris) on my old WiFi router. I also tried to compile doom_ascii for MIPS, but I wasn’t successful and gave up. That was 5 months ago, so I basically forgot everything I tried already.
I have also tried to compile it directly on the WiFi router, but it kept crashing even when I killed all running services (including SSH and Telnet so I had to use console, at least it’s 115,200 baud) that weren’t necessary. I think 32MB of RAM was my problem.
Anyway, I doubt it would run on it anyway, but at least I tried.

List of games available (at least for MIPS): angband, cavezofphear, crawl, gnuchess, minesweep-rs, nethack, rcon, sudoku-tui, superstartrek, tty-solitaire, vitetris, zork.

Edit: Hmm, it seems at least very few Netgear switches may be supported by OpenWRT (e.g.: https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/gs308t_1). Maybe there is potential to actually play games on that switch!

Forcing it into recovery -> Power Off -> Booting up normally again

This freed up 8MB from somewhere, otherwise, I guess I’d have to do a hard reset.

Yup.

Just in case: If your storage is completely full all of a sudden, check /var/log/nginx if you haven’t pointed the logs elsewhere.

I know I was pretty confused to find my storage absolutely full, then I found the multi-GB error.log file. When a network interface it was listening on disappeared it filled with errors as such:

2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)

2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)

(I just reproduced that now on-demand, thus the date.)

There’s a tool called logrotate to take care of logs, but I just did the stupid and lazy thing…

error_log /dev/null;

Well, in case you get the idea to run NGINX in Termux, and then later you find your phone hot, stuck in a bootloop, it’s possible the error.log filled the storage causing Android to crash because it now can’t even write system files.
Not that I would have done such thing…
