What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

Jump

  • User-replaceable batteries.

    • RSS feeds

    • What is your internet service plan?

    Jump

  • Austin, Texas, U.S. I pay $100 a month for AT&T Fiber, which provides symmetrical gigabit. Real life is around 950-1000 MBPS both ways.

    My plan would normally be $85, but I pay $15 extra for a block of static IPs.

    • How much "data" do you personally have?

    Jump

  • 50 TB on a network attached storage appliance across 8 drives, probably 200-400 GB across two laptop internal drives, and 500 GB or so of games on a Framework expansion card.

    I may have a problem. Something something r/datahoarder something something.

    • What hostname do you use for server? home.box or home.local?

    Jump

  • Little known trick--or perhaps everyone knows it and is quietly laughing behind my back--with Chromium browsers and Firefox (and maybe Safari, I'm not sure), you can add a slash to the end of an address and it will bypass the search.

    So, for example, my router on the LAN goes by the hostname "pfsense". I can then type pfsense.lan/ into my address bar and it will bring me to the web UI, no HTTP/s needed.

    • What hostname do you use for server? home.box or home.local?

    Jump

  • I didn't care about any of this (my off the shelf Router used .local) and then I started selfhosting more and using pFsense as a router OS. It defaulted to using home.arpa, which was so objectionable that I spent time looking into RFC 6762 and promptly reverted to .lan forever.

    The official choices were: .intranet, .internal, .home, .lan, .corp, and .private. LAN was the shortest and most applicable. Choice made.

    • YSK: Use RSS feeds to curate your online experience

    Jump

  • Shameless plug: I made a magazine, @rss, for RSS. It has approximately zero content right now but I'd love for people to start using it to exchange ideas, comments, and questions about feeds.

    Jump

  • .lan for everything.
