  • I have had some issues with Robert Oster inks and hard starts. In particular, they don’t work well in my Lamy 2000 fine nib and Pilot Prera medium nib pens, whereas a Pilot Iroshizuku ink I bought recently seems to flow a lot better. It’s a shame, because I do like the colours; I might try them in my Kaweco sport pen (which has a wetter medium nib) and see if they flow better.



  • The TOTP feature in Bitwarden works, if you paste in the whole otpauth:// URI to Bitwarden’s Authenticator Key (TOTP) field. The URL specifies that the hashing algorithm should be SHA256. If you just import the secret= value into Authy, it probably defaults to using the SHA-1 algorithm, which may be why the codes generated by Authy don’t work.

    SHA256 is more secure than SHA-1, which I guess is why Lemmy has chosen to use it for its 2FA feature.











  • Presumably they mean that the CPU resources are over-provisioned, meaning that the virtual CPUs allocated to VMs have to share a smaller pool of physical CPUs. If the VMs have a lot of idle time, this can work well, but if your VM suddenly needs more CPU, the processes on your VM might need to wait for a physical CPU, as physical CPU cycles that would normally be available to you have been “stolen away” by processes running on other VMs.



  • InTune is mobile device management that allows a company to enforce policies on your phone such as pin code length/screen locking policies, and ability to remotely wipe your phone. Since these privacy ROMs are about giving control back to the user, I suspect that there will be problems with MDM enforcement software like InTune. I no longer work for a company that uses that software though, so no chance to test it out.




  • The guy at the centre of much of this drama has stepped back, and is letting the GrapheneOS foundation take the lead. While Daniel clearly has some challenges in the people skills department, I think Louis may have over-reacted a little in his video when he claimed that Daniel might at some point act in bad faith.
