I'm using SailfishOS since 2013(!) (yes, I'm one of the first ones backing the original J1) currently on some older Xperia 10 II device as my daily driver. Appsupport (Android runtime) works pretty well. Whatsoever, there are many lightweight native applications for Reddit, YT and the like.

There's no reason. MiSTER Pi 2 has 400K LE and it's only a little more than this.

Hi @takiudon.bsky.social, could you please tell me a wee bit more about your plans related to #MisterPi 2 πŸ™ (I'm asking for a friend 😜).

smaller packages with lower value, lowering the declared value of the goods to sub $150 and so on. In the end many packages are delivered with wrong value declaration and so EU is missing a lot of VAT. Higher tariffs simply raise creative ways to prevent them and f*** with the State.

However, if you order goods > $150 then your postal carrier (DHL, UPS, FedEx..) will at least add additionally $20 or 2% of total VAT if > $20 for handling the customs because CN shop will not process them forces by EU import laws. This leads to creative delivery tactics: Splitting packages up in

Here is how it works for EU (GER):
- if you order something in CN < $150 (p&p + value of goods)
then tax needs to be submitted by CN shop to EU tax collector which will spread the tax across EU countries tax administrations
- you only pay VAT (19% of total incl. shipping) on top of your order

It's a shame that #DHL isn't yet on BSky πŸ™„. Maybe they took an example on their estimated parcel delivery times for account creation here that is:

- propose today's creation between 12:10pm - 1:40pm
- let you wait for hours and hours
- let you know at 6pm that there will be not account today

Yesterday we saw more than 100K protesters all around Germany fighting for democracy, human rights and against forces that try to destroy them. The 30 minute lasting prime news broadcast "heute Journal" just put this event after 15 mins and as a side note on the agenda for as long as 30 seconds. 1/2

After watching today"s "Willkommen 2024" on German ZDF tv station I"m thinking about emigration to some foreign country without New Years shows or shooting me simply in the head. 😣

Advent Of Code just started and I'm wondering why so many of the solutions found at GH uses regex to parse the input data? Simple is king as it's not that hard to strip(), split() and iterate through it (I've done my solutions q&d with vanilla Python and no imported modules). Regex's overkill...

What's your favorite Golang tool of the year? I recently read a blog post by Uber releasing NilAway statical code analyses tool for detecting possible nil dereferences causing OB panics. Did a few scans on my projects and found a few issues that gladly didn't panic yet.

And kids: Don't use IPSec IKEv1 at home, ok? πŸ˜‰

Broke down an IPSec IKEv1 problem I had with customer's VPN connection. At phase 2 a NO_PROPOSAL issue stopped setting up the tunnel. After digging into various sites related to NO_PROPOSAL Q&A a lot of them are missing one major culprit that xchanged identities of both parties must be accepted.

Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches One month. One hour a day. That’s all it takes to start writing Rust code!</b> Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches</i> teaches you the essential skills of Rust. By the time you’re done learning, you...

Even as a Golang dev you sometimes need to grok Rustlang code. After purchasing and reading a bunch of books on that topic I can highly recommend Mannings "Learn Rust in a Month of Lunches" if want to start from zero to hero.

The only downsize is when compiling into WASM that the Go compiler will build rather large .wasm files compared to other languages like Rust or Zig. However for CLIs and microservices (or backend stuff in general) you can't find anything better (speed vs. complexity vs. cost vs. flexibility).

Pro tip: You can strip down your golang binaries even more using compiler flags to remove debug infos like '-ldflags="-s -w"'. Additionally you can use '-trimpath' build flag to remove module paths from your executable saving additional bytes.

Well, running JS/TS as webassembly requires a JS runtime running inside WASM runtime running your JS or TS to JS transpiled code. The crazy thing is devs are doing it that way and it's not too slow. I would personally prefer system languages like Rust or Zig.

Just discovered this lightweight IDE for Go, Rust and JS/TypeScript development. It has some common VS Code look & feel, but consumes only 54 MiB memory on my system! What are you guys using (vim, emacs, Notepad++, VS Code, you name it...)?

Guys, I've heard there is something completely freaking new tech (like Bluesky) in the internet called "email" πŸ“§ 🐌

Dear journalists and newspapers: This is why domain verification is so important to prove you're not a hoax.
Here the German newssite "Die Zeit Online" was apparently used by some bot posting headlines.

Welp, I think a good mindset here at Bluesky is that everything you post will be public like chatting at IRC, Matrix rooms or publishing on your public Wordpress site Google scrapes the second it became online. It's a game changer to use this 🧠 before you post public πŸ˜‰.

The atprotocol has some advantages over activitypub plus having a BGS crawler-like central component will allow you searching for news, contacts, feeds ... at scale. This isn't possible with Mastadon, but something you'll soon find very handy to use.
