> and some tinkering needed for Diablo 4/Battle.net
Funnily this is the same thing I tried to do just last month, Installed CachyOS after not having Linux on my desktop for a very long time, tried installing Battle.net and just ran into too many issues and haven't come back yet (to be honest I didn't try too many avenues to fix it).
If you don't mind me asking what was the tinkering you had to do to make this work? Thanks!
I moved from pihole to Technitium a few months back because I wanted more DNS features than just adding A and CNAME records.
For example the split horizon features to return different responses to DNS queries depending if I'm connected to my Tailscale network or not has been pretty slick.
Excellent write-up. As a Tailscale + Pi-hole user you may have just inspired me to switch to Technitium. I’ve wanted that kind of split horizon functionality for years, for all sorts of things!
If you opt to use import-maps I think you can get away without needing node these days, though then you're using import maps and have to deal with that can of worms.
I came to write exactly this comment, specifically I wanted to check what the pricing for forward geocoding was, as I've got a very significant monthly Google Maps bill for geocoding and if Radar gives results which are 95% as good as Google's at a cheaper price then I'd be jumping
ESRI is as evil as Google (if not worse). If pricing is the only consideration, maybe ESRI is the way to go, but I would take other aspects into account, too (e.g. walled-garden signals, tricking customers, software-lock-in).
I believe the point is that Op doesn't _want_ to chat. I believe the originally point is you should be up front and _clear_ with your pricing rather than trying to force a conversation.
Yep, I get it. Working on a self-serve pricing calculator. Reality is that enterprise convos do make sense at sufficient scale. If it does here, our inbox is open!
Often, if a company has "Contact Sales" on their pricing page it's because they only want customers who have a budget big enough to warrant contacting sales.
At an early stage, it's often easier and more lucrative to build for and support a few large customers than many small ones.
Project Hail Mary is such an awesome book. Great buildup, an intriguing plot slowly unfolding with an inquisitive problem solver caught in the middle. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
Currently in the midst of this audio book… very fun and entertaining. You know it is great when you look for reasons to get in the car or do the dishes/ laundry just so you can continue listening.
The first third of The Gods Themselves could be written now and one might interpret it as being about our approach to climate change, it's just such a great examination of the problem of negative externalities, I had to re-read the start of the middle third a bunch of times before I grokked it but when I did it I was impressed with how well he gave us a means to empathy to those characters and their point of view (after struggling to figure out what the heck I was reading!).
Affected Optus customer here (received email indicated I was impacted). They never had my passport details (there have been some links going around when logged in to see the payload of your PI involved in the breach) but they certainly have my name, address, phone number and drivers license number in the data.
Fortunately we're able (in South Australia) to get our drivers licenses changed over free of change if impacted, which I'll do but now that's something else I need to get around to doing... I wonder how many of these costs will be forwarded on to Optus on behalf of the goverment
Also in SA, and also contacted by Optus. The thing that shits me is that I haven’t been a customer in a couple of years. They really shouldn’t have details unnecessarily stored unless there is some government requirement.
why in the world did a telco need your drivers license in the first place? i assume you don't have to be a licensed driver to get phone service in australia.
edit: hn is rate limiting me but like, any phone number? you need id even for a prepaid one? and why do they need to keep this on file?
In addition to what other siblings already said, in Australia we have a scoring system to prove your identity (called "100 point identification") and depending on the score needed, drivers licence can get you there so it's used very often. This system is for Government entities but private companies often take inspiration from it
An interesting thing is that "100 point ID" applies to physical documents, but somehow it's been conflated with the number on the document being equivalent. One is obviously more easily copied than the other, and scales better for fraudulent use.
KYC for a gd phone number... honestly the whole attacks on E2EE make a lot more sense now with the background of that kinda shady stuff going on beforehand. praying for y'all, hope the digital rights situation gets better there.
I had the exact same experience as you (no passport details leaked). I wonder if the passport data is more for tourists getting Optus sims. Nice to see another South Aussie here!
Well, it will be whatever you used for your 100 points of ID to open an account to begin with. So most people would have used a drivers license. My guess is that the passports is mostly people without a drivers license.
The barrier that I'm trying to break and push through is that the result is not a hidden away admin panel where only a small number of core team members go to update some record. The result is a beautiful consumer-ready interface that you give to your user.
Avo is your app. Not a part of your app. Avo is the UI your users see when they go and interact with it.
