Android 15 update blocks old notification noise — finally, some peace!
  • Ive started using iphones at the very beginning with nokia s60 phones. By the year 2012 I was overwhelmed by notifications and i started to adopt the policy "you need me urgently? Call me" I have Disabled all notifications except for calls. I have no push notifications active and a great phone battery life.

    I still use telegram for messaging but on my own pace (messages gets downloaded only when i open the app)

    Drastic measure

  • Guida al router libero fastweb senza alzare la cornetta
  • Ciao! In teoria sì, devi cercare però il vlanid della fttc che non sarà più 835 come nel mio caso.

    I pregi che si ottengono da un router tipo quello che ho preso comunque sono infiniti. Ci sto giocando un po' ed è parecchio personalizzabile e smanettoso

  • Guida al router libero fastweb senza alzare la cornetta

    Mi sono finalmente deciso ad acquistare un router con supporto ad Openwrt ed a bidonare il suppostone castratissimo di fastweb (Fastgate), mi sono sorpreso di quanto tutto abbia funzionato al primo colpo (o quasi), ecco cosa ho fatto:

    Ingredienti:

    • Router GL.iNet GL-MT6000 (Flint 2) oppure qualsiasi router che abbia la possibilità di impostare la "DHCP option 60".

    • Fiber To The House (FTTH) fastweb con Optical Network Converter (ONC) collegato a monte del Fastgate. Se avete l'SFP dovrebbe funzionare comunque, ma dovrete comprare un ONC / Fiber Media Converter.

    • Opzione di clonamento MAC address sul router

    Prima cosa da fare è quella di impostare sulla porta WAN la VLANID 835, lasciate pure la porta in DHCP.

    !

    Poi da system->Advanced Settings -> Interfacce -> WAN -> Vendor Class to send when requesting DHCP (la famosa DHCP option 60 che dicevo prima) -> inserite il valore:

    askey_HW_ES1_SW_0.00.67/dslforum.org

    !

    Ora nelle opzioni MAC address andremo ad inserire lo stesso MAC del fastgate:

    !

    Attenzione: Nonostante sull'etichetta del mio fastgate ci sia scritto XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:00 ad esempio, a me non ha funzionato. Ho dovuto recuperare il MAC address della porta WAN specifica del fastgate (si trova nelle info del router sulla webpage del fastgate, la porta molto probabilmente avrà MAC XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:01.

    Salvate la configurazione, collegate l'ONC direttamente alla porta WAN e se avete fatto tutto correttamente dovreste prendere immediatamente l'ip da fastweb.

    The Verge shows how Google search is useless
  • Time to time i watch twitch from an iPad that I use only for that and an ad banner appeared of a weird but useful adapter for USBC. I clicked on it on purpose (first ad I clicked in a decade probably) the link wasn't working, dead link. I was speechless.

  • EU moving towards total monetary surveillance and banning all anonymous payments
  • Italian here. Our right wing government who blinks an eye to all small entrepreneur in Italy (there are A TON here) recently increased the max cash payment from 2k to 5k. This is definitely a way to say "please be free to recycle a bit more oney" and to gain votes in exchange.

    It's incredible how Germany, Austria, or Switzerland to name a few have this crazy high cash payment.

    In fact our "ndrangheta" for example (Mafia from Calabria) expanded a lot in Germany due to this.

  • Apple
  • Im running an android phone from 2016 with android 13 and last week security patches. Smooth as silk, no google, no ads, battery lasts 10h SOT. That's the reason why ill never switch to Apple as daily driver (I have 1 provided by my company)

  • TIL Happy Holidays literally means Happy Holy Day
  • In Italy we are split between terroni (24th evening celebration and 25th lunch celebration) and polentoni (25th lunch and 26 lunch)

    At the end happens often that families are mixed so you do all the 3. On top of that you have friends to meet and what's best than another lunch/dinner?

  • [Help] OLD TV issue - Samsung UE55C8000XPXZT

    I have an old Samsung UE55C8000XPXZT that after a storm started to shutdown itself after a few minutes of use. While I'm using it for the few minutes it stays on, it behave normally, after that the display flashes a couple times and it turns off (but the TV is still on even tho black screen and no audio). To revive it I have to unplug the power and leave it rest for a while.

    Here is a video of the board: https://streamable.com/lvaxhh

    Maybe someone can help me identify the issue. I'm quite affectionate to this TV and I'm all in for saving money and the environment without going for a new one.

    Ads on the homescreen?

    Hi, I just unpacked an iPhone and I noticed this weird widget that was pre-added to my home-screen. Looks like it is ads! Is this a new normal behavior for Apple?

    Home Assistant question

    Is there a working privacy/security friendly "voice assistant" that can be configured in HA?

    I don't want to use home appliances from Amazon/Google/Apple etc.

    I'd like to give voice command even through a hidden microphone or something like that. Anyone tried to do so?

    AirVPN info

    Hi, I wanted to know if any of you have info regarding some specifics of Air VPN.

    On Reddit some time ago I found this google spreadsheet with a list of basically all the VPN services and a rating by color: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L72gHJ5bTq0Djljz0P-NCAaURrXwsR1MsLpVmAt3bwg/edit

    I started then to filter-out all the red one but I was wondering for AirVPN (which looks good on almost everything on paper) what's wrong with their "ethics". If you go into the specification of the "Ethic" tab ther's nothing much explained and I can't find anything online regarding this.

    On some website it has quite low ratings as well but they do not explain very much why.

    Thanks
