I was just able to create a new google account with no phone number.

I have absolutely no clue what I've done to make it work this way (if anything), but in zsh running a command with !$ (last word from the previous command) I get the opportunity to edit the interpolated version first.

I was able to swing $230 total for two x230s with the base i5 and ssds last fall/winter (actually three, but the third doesn't really count (arrived damaged, seller initiated a refund then ghosted, got a full refund from ebay)). If you're really lucky, you can find a computraced one for super cheap ($85 in my case) and then coreboot it.

That said, x220s and x230s seem to have gotten more expensive since then, I haven't seen any similarly good deals lately.

Reminding people that this is a viable threat model is why sudolph.in exists, albeit for the drive-by someone-left-their-laptop-unlocked case rather than regular local privilege escalation.

I should probably add a check for catching someone within the sudo timeout and give them a hard time if so.

I'm not sure exactly what you're after, but the Hiragana Pro/Katakana Pro apps (android only, I believe) have two practice modes: choice from three pronunciations as you mentioned, as well as typing romaji with no hints. The latter makes it abundantly clear which kana I'm shaky on.

They're also each a dollar to unlock voiced/combined readings and remove ads. My pihole did block the ads while I was just trying them out.

I could see this as a reason to keep "you might also like ____" lists short, but for languages/subtitles I'm going to seek out one of the four languages that's even slightly useful for me to switch to.

At least recently, HSTS failures could still be bypassed if you really wanted to (if, say, you made the bad choice of using the .dev tld for private domains). It's just completely undiscoverable for good reason.

Team discovery could be a pain, but channel discovery within a team is pretty much everything I would expect it to be.

This is pretty much* how the Keybase filesystem works, with the added benefit of using more identities than just emails/usernames. Even if you only know someone's Twitter handle or reddit account, you can have this same workflow.

*Except for the "unless they don't want to receive files from you" part.

I ended up writing a mostly-declarative tool for managing my mix of docker-composed and init-system-ed services at home when that got too unmanageable.

My monitor may be widescreen, but my editor typically isn't.

Raku is not the direct successor to Perl, active Perl development continues.

On the other side of things, my favorite demo for people new to docker who aren't yet aware that sudoless docker ~~ root access is:

    docker run -itv /:/host ubuntu chroot /host

Agreed. I don't use them often but I made sure to program discrete volume/media/brightness controls into my keyboard.
