There was a famous incident of a badly designed PD cable frying Benson Leung’s fancy ($2000) Pixel Chromebook or something like that.

Will they ban ad blockers next?
Can anyone explain why Wayland exists or who cares about it? X has been around forever, it sucks but it works and everything supports it. Alternatives like NeWS came around that were radically better, but were too soon or relied too much on corporate support, so they faded. The GNU project originally intended to write its own thing, but settled for using X. Now there’s Wayland though, which seems like a slight improvement over X, but mostly kind of a lateral move.
If you’re going to replace X, why not do something a lot better? If not actual NeWS, then something that incorporates some of its ideas. I think Squeak was like that but I don’t know much about it.
Most everything everywhere is virtual these days, even when the host hardware is single tenant. Companies running hosted applications on bare metal are rare. I run personal stuff that way because proxmox was too much hassle, but a more serious user would have just dealt with it.
Um lol no. It would have to be 3x the physical size of the original battery to have 3x the capacity. But if they made a new, thicker phone case to accommodate it, that could work and such things have been done a few times for other phones.
Sad to hear. Newpipe is still working fine (as of a couple minutes ago) if that helps. That’s through a residential IP. I will try yt-dlp from a data center IP when I get a chance. I hope they haven’t blocked that.
Org mode has a time tracking feature, dunno about report generation.

There is a famous Erik Naggum rant about XML at, no wait, I better not link it but you can find it with a search engine if you want, which means you don’t get to complain to me about it since you are the one who went looking for it. Very NSFW and VERY politically incorrect. Naggum died in 2009 but anyone who published a thing like that today would be raked over the coals.
Forth is fun but not really suitable for large, long-lasting projects with huge developer communities. Linux isn’t being bootstrapped, it’s already here and has been around for decades and it’s huge. And, I think bootstrapping-by-poking-around on a new architecture has stopped being important. Today, you have compiler and OS’s targeted to the new architecture under simulation long before there is any hardware, with excellent debugging tools available in the simulator.
I don’t think Ada in the kernel would get any cultural acceptance. Rust has been hard enough. C++ was vehemently rejected decades ago though the reasons made some sense at the time. Adopting C++ today would be pretty crazy. I don’t see much alternative to Rust (or in a different world, Ada) in the monolithic kernel. But Rust seems like it’s still in beta test, and the kernel architecture itself seems like a legacy beast. Do you know of anything else? I can’t take D or Eiffel or anything like that seriously. And part of it is the crappiness of the hardware companies. Maybe it will have to be left to future generations.
I have played with Ada but not done anything “real” with it. I think I’d be ok with using it. It seems better than C in most regards. I haven’t really looked into Rust but from what I can gather, its main innovation is the borrow checker, and Ada might get something like that too (influenced by Rust).
I don’t understand why Linux is so huge and complicaed anyway. At least on servers, most Linux kernels are running under hypervisors that abstract away the hardware. So what else is going on in there? Linux is at least 10x as much code as BSD kernels from back in the day (idk about now). It might be feasible to write a usable Posix kernel as a hypervisor guest in a garbage collected language. But, I haven’t looked into this very much.
Here’s an ok overview of Ada: http://cowlark.com/2014-04-27-ada/index.html
I looked at the article and it turns out the phones are in humongous housings with cine lenses. So not shot with phones in the way it might sound. Citizenfour (2013 best documentary Oscar) was mostly shot with a Sony FS-100 camcorder (2K HD I’m pretty sure) that the filmmaker carried in her purse.
Is this a big deal? Tons of movies have been shot with consumer camcorders which are probably worse than a modern phone camera.
Rat out my friends by telling Google their DOB? Will they also add a field for mothers’ maiden name? No thanks.
Spoiler: Xiaomi is #1 now.
C, C-like, or Rust
As always, Ada gets no respect.
Look on lineageos.org for their list of supported phones maybe? I thought you wanted to program the camera itself, in which case you might have an easier time with a standalone camera than with a phone camera.
Can you verify with wireshark that the traffic is only going through your lan? I’m not hip enough for nginx but I used to have to run apache under gdb all the time to trace random errors from the server. That would be next, if the traffic is really local.
