android networking stabilization
so i am remembering way back when i had the HTC tytn 2
there used to be an .apk app that would cause the network to see long times of reduced MBPS transfer as steady connection.
basically it caused the internet to NOT time out, but hold on, and when the signal got back, the network was already there in full swing and never missed a full step.
now at this time i need an apk that will do the same.
when my phone is being hit with extreme network drop & reset i need to NOT have my phone resend ALLLLL the data a billi-trillion times.
just stay steady, and be smooth.
problem is i can not find such an apk, and life is miserable.
someone pleas tell me how to change the timeout, or where is a foss apk that is not a hacker honeypot that will do this connection stabilization. pleas. f-droid is an example of happy go download

DNC panel recommends redo of vote that elevated David Hogg to vice chair after procedural concerns
A Democratic National Committee subcommittee on Monday recommended that the organization invalidate one of its February vice-chair votes over claims that it unfairly disadvantaged female candidates.
The move, which won't be official unless the entire DNC votes to approve it, could open up new races for the positions held by David Hogg, a Florida activist, and Malcolm Kenyatta, a Pennsylvania state legislator.
The challenge by Oklahoma Democratic Committeewoman Kalyn Free, who unsuccessfully ran against Hogg and Kenyatta in the February race for vice chair, is not related to the ongoing tension between Hogg and the national party over his push to support primary challenges against incumbent Democrats.
Instead, it was based off Free's claim that the handling of the vice-chair vote gave the two men an unfair advantage amid the national party's requirements that its executive committee achieve gender balance.

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (2007)
Neon Bible è il secondo album in studio del gruppo indie rock canadese Arcade Fire. È stato pubblicato per la prima volta il 5 marzo 2007 in Europa e il giorno dopo in Nord America dalla Merge Records. Annunciato originariamente il 16 dicembre 2006 tramite il sito web della band, la maggior parte dell'album è stata registrata in una chiesa acquistata e ristrutturata dalla band a Farnham, in Quebec. L'album è il primo a includere il batterista Jeremy Gara e il primo a includere la violinista Sarah Neufeld nella formazione principale della band. Neon Bible è diventato l'album degli Arcade Fire con il più alto piazzamento in classifica all'epoca, debuttando nella Billboard 200 al secondo posto, vendendo 92.000 copie nella prima settimana e oltre 400.000 fino ad oggi. Pubblicato a un mese di distanza da pubblicazioni di successo simili come The Shins (Wincing the Night Away) e Modest Mouse (We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank), Neon Bible è stato citato come esempio di popolarizzazione dell'indie rock. Neon Bible ha ricevuto ampi consensi dalla critica. Pubblicazioni come NME e IGN hanno elogiato l'album per la sua natura grandiosa, mentre Rolling Stone e Uncut hanno affermato che il risultato era un suono distante ed esagerato.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids
So slavery as indentured servitude is the American future. Way to "new model" the old model.
U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids
U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says factory gigs are the “great jobs of the future” that Gen Z could work in for the "rest" of their life.Emma Burleigh (Fortune)

The factory jobs that existed in post-war America would be a vast improvement over the current service economy, but those jobs don’t exist anymore. Union jobs with high pay, benefits, retirement after 20 years, etc. Those are not the factory jobs they’re looking to create.
Factories are mostly automated now anyway. Rebuilding US manufacturing will not only take years but it will be done in a way that minimizes the actual jobs created. They’ll also still have to compete with factories all over the world where the currency is worth much less and the global price of the end product reflects that.
Post-war America had a strong domestic market and middle class that could afford to buy all the things American manufacturing built. Americans are now buying groceries on layaway and waiting for the sickness or car trouble or new Trump policy that makes them homeless.
Ok, so a few points, from a lifelong industrial OEM technician:
First of all, there's nothing wrong with factory jobs IF your employer takes care of its workers, that's a big "if" but one all the world's workers should take care of, since manufacturing is of course one of the biggest areas of employment and it's not going away anytime soon.
My job, working for an equipment manufacturer, can be quite enjoyable and well paid, again depending on the employer, I'd advice any technically inclined individual to look into it. St the same time, I'd never work as a maintenance tech in a factory, that's usually a very stressful job, with emergency work in poor condition, often pushed to work unsafely because of the rush, on old machines often dirty or in poor repair.
Still, I've seen some people make quite a comfortable position in that setting, so it may not be all bad.
As for pay, I think pay should depend mostly on 3 factors: effort, skill and comfort. Those who work harder, are more skilled and are forced into unpleasant settings should be paid more. If you want a more comfortable job you cannot expect to make more than a good, equally skilled worker who's in noisy, dangerous or disgusting environments, and so on.
I don't understand the intergenerational employment point, that sounds sorta dystopic and has no connection to the rest of the argument.
Development of technology isnt always progress. Sometimes its a step backwards.
Progress depends on if it does good or bad. If it just causes a greater disparity of wealth (while building crappy machines that are designed for obsolescence and people dont need), then it is not progress.
Example: looms are arguably progress (almost everyone needs cloth). Robots that manufacturer ICE SUVs are not progress (making more gas guzzlers is causing mass extinction).
Don't confuse technological and societal progress.
It may not be positive for society, but you still can't stop progress, if you don't develop what's possible, someone else will.

Cash is disappearing in Gaza
But in Gaza today, cash has all but disappeared. Aside from the brief ceasefire interlude that started in January and Israel ended on 19 March, when some cash aid was delivered by international organizations, no cash had entered Gaza for 15 months prior and none since.In the first three months alone after October 2023, according to the World Bank, Israel destroyed or damaged 93 percent of all bank branches.
With no banks and only the cash that was already there – so overused by now that it is starting to disintegrate – Palestinians in Gaza have had to improvise.
Digital transactions have eased some of the pressure, while bartering has become common.

which trackers don't waste your hdd space while bandwidth goes unused?
10 years ago I went to private trackers that had extensive collections, everything with dozens of seeds.
And you coukd seed whatever you download and it just wouldn't get downloaded. It would use up your hdd space on the seedbox whipe nobody could download them either as tgat would wreck their ratios and get tgem banned.
I was so disgusted I never even tried join otger private trackers, time wasters the lot of them.
Also I've seen some disgusting thieves SELL ratio fixing at outrageous prices.
Of course intellectual property is stupid garbage idea. But pirates selling shit is so much worse. Even worse than the continued demonic existance of Disney.
Another strategy was to downloaded whatever just got posted and seed that before there were too many seeds.
A kind of ratio pump and dump rugpull.
Such shitty behaviour enabled by the pretense that space and bandwidth are limited ressources and then waste both of them to create an invisible paywall.!
You said in another comment that you have a 100gb hd and a 4tb monthly bandwidth cap?
Torrents probably aren’t the solution for you. Spend some time learning about newsgroups. It costs money but you aren’t expected to keep files after you download them or upload for everyone else.
I think realdebrid also does this but it also costs money.
You’re excluded from the informal economy because of your situation so you gotta participate in the formal economy. You could always buy a hard drive and set a bandwidth limit in your client too. I expect that would be cheaper over a year than either usenet or debrid.
I’m not sneezing at it. It’s more than my use in a month, but I’m not trying to maximize my bandwidth use with 100gb of space.
Just as a thought experiment let’s assume you’re able to use the maximum amount of total bandwidth in a month with your 100gb storage. That’s 40 complete write cycles a month on your ssd.
Now there’s nuance to the idea of minimizing write cycles, the specific technology plays a big role and ssds that stay constantly powered on can avoid the worst degradation for a long time but:
That’s 480 write cycles a year.
No problem if you’re keeping the ssd always powered on, but you may end up with data loss if it’s in a laptop that gets turned off for a little bit.
That’s why I said a hard drive may be cheaper than Usenet or debrid over the course of a year. Because it’s a solution that kills a lot of birds with one stone.
Hmmm I never had a problem finding what I want with public sources. Maybe my tastes in media are not refined enough.
There is no incentive but I also seed everything I download until at least ratio 2 but mostly without a cap especially obscure stuff.
I also like to not even use public trackers instead relying solely on the mighty distributed hash table (DHT) to find peers.
Because they think it's fairer and less wasteful of the resources
End result, fulled up hard drives with copies of things nobody downloads while the bandwidth goes unused
Meanwhile on public trackers I push out terabytes per months of data....
It's just a mismatch between how they imagine a system should work and how it actually works.
They cannot believe someone would do the right thing without coercion, enforcement and manipulative economic compensation(ratio and rules)
'We're testing for testing's sake' - new maths tests fail to make the grade for principals
The government is "testing children to death" with the announcement of a new maths test for the youngest children, says the head of the Principals Federation.Next week's Budget will include $4 million to develop and introduce a "maths check" for children in their first two years of schooling.
"Yes, it gives us information, but teachers will be able to tell you that they already know which children need that extra support. They don't need a test to tell them that so what is this test for, who is this test for, is what I will be asking. We've now got a phonics test for literacy in Year 1. We've now got a numeracy test in Year 2. We're testing our kids to death here."
When government's have introduced compulsory testing in primary school, overseas statistics show there have been negative unintended consequences, Pomeroy told Morning Report.
I have some quotes out of order as the article is discussing two things. Here is the second:
It also announced $56m over four years to employ the equivalent of 143 full-time maths intervention teachers to help primary school children who were struggling with the subject, and $40m over four years for small group maths tutoring for up to 34,000 children in Year 7-8 each year.Otene said principals would welcome the funding for expert teachers, provided they targeted the children who were furthest behind in maths - those classed as "tier three" meaning they needed support from externally-sourced specialists.
"We need that intervention support. But I'm really hoping that that's not just for tier two students... we need desperately learning support for those children who are 'well below'," she said.
Otene said the funding for tutoring at intermediate schools was premature because it extended a pilot scheme that had not yet been assessed.
"I'm a bit concerned that the minister does not have evidence to support the extending of that," she said.

Stasera continua, con un nuovissimo episodio per cui devo piangere — ed ahimè, perché ho quindi sempre più impedimenti nel fare le normali cose, ma non ho la più microscopica voglia di nemmeno pensare al fatto di dover sostituire il mio hardware, che prevedibilmente continuerò ad usare finché non si romperà completamente — la saga delle rogne sul mio PC fisso. Oggi veramente mi sono successi i peggio bug tutti insieme, che boh, la pace del silicio evidentemente non è con me attualmente. 🥱Forse perché sto saturando la RAM, con tutte le schede del browser che finisco per aprire, ma con i browser (multipli!) stavolta è proprio successo l’indecente. Non si può andare avanti così. Non solo le schede di Firefox crashanti, che ogni tanto capita, o semi-crashanti (come ogni tanto capita per YouTube che diventa nero e poi si riprende, oppure come non avevo mai visto su altri siti, con tanto di messaggio di errore strano della volpe)… tipo 1 diversa al minuto che fa “Gah. Your tab just crashed.“… ma persino i browser Chromium stavolta. In genere apro Chromium o Edge quando il volpo si cringia, per non perdere tempo, ma dopo ore che avevo schede aperte in entrambi sono esplosi pure quelli… le finestre rimangono aperte, ma invisibili e ininteragibili, finché non le si chiude proprio. 💥
Nessuna particolare dimostrazione visiva per questi inconvenienti, a parte la rabbia e il Registro Eventi di Windows, perché stando nel mio non mi viene esattamente in mente di fotografare una finestra invisibile o una superficie completamente nera, però dovete credermi che se non avessi purtroppo finito le lacrime tipo 10 anni fa a questo punto starei veramente piangendo, da tipo le 22… Che cazzo di qualità proprio, che alti standard di produttività personale, che esperienza computeristica impeccabile, che incontestabile goduria informatica… 😱
Poi, ovviamente, i bug della shell di Windows accompagnano sempre, ma quelli — pur se inconcepibili a livello teorico — non sono niente di che… Cioè, ho sempre il solito delle finestre lampeggianti in Alt+Tab, ma sempre solo per le finestre di Firefox ultimamente (e non su Esplora Risorse)… ma poi stamattina ne era uscito uno stramboidissimo, che però si è a caso risolto da solo (o si è risolto perché ho spento e riacceso il secondo monitor?), per cui c’era una specie di bordo di pochi millimetri attorno allo schermo, che a volte era invisibile ed altre no, ma che sempre ostacolava il mouse dal cliccare i pixel direttamente sotto… e cliccandoci col destro apprariva il menu contestuale del desktop. (Niente video manco per questo, perché evidentemente sono stupida.) 💀Ah, prima di chiudere, giusto per proteggermi dai markettari, che un po’ troppo spesso spuntano fuori quando scrivo cose di questo tipo… Agli allevatori di pinguini ricordo che a quest’ora Linux su questo PC mi sarebbe già crashato probabilmente 2 volte, vista la giornata piena (per via dei problemi che già raccontai svariati mesi fa), mentre almeno Windows è resistito; invece, ai mangiatori di mele ricordo che sono pesantemente disoccupata e non andrò quindi mai a spendere migliaia di euro per un MelaBook… Ma di questo passo, porca puttana, giuro che installo Chrome OS. 🔪

Market Structure Rules for Crypto Could End Up Governing Core of U.S. Finance: Le
... [crypto] sector veteran and compliance expert TuongVy Le, a former Securities and Exchange Commission lawyer, argues that what Congress and the regulators are working on isn't just for today's digital assets space but for the core of the future financial system.Le, who has held top legal and regulator positions at Anchorage Digital, Bain Capital and the former Worldcoin (now World Network), told CoinDesk that she expects the new rules coming to her old regulatory employer will eventually govern the business at the heart of the markets. Migrating the securities and commodities transactions in traditional finance onto the blockchain is a dramatic move for a field that's been stuck in a legacy approach to handling transactions, rooted in lengthy clearing and settlement approaches established decades ago.
...
She's so far been impressed with the changes congressional lawmakers have made in the latest discussion draft of the market-structure bill that is built on the back of the previous session's Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), calling it "much more practical, workable and streamlined." She praised its approach to getting multiple types of transactions under the reach of single trading platforms and also its views on blockchain maturity.
She said that the legislation underway in Congress right now will be a "huge unlock" for the industry, but the U.S. financial agencies, including the SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission, are already moving.

New York Mayor Eric Adams to Crypto Industry: Come Build an Empire in NYC
“This is the Empire State,” Adams said at a press briefing at Gracie Mansion on Monday. “We should be looking forward to building empires, particularly in the crypto space.”Adams, who is running for reelection, reiterated his commitment to making New York City a crypto hub, telling reporters that he would work with tech and crypto companies, both big and small, to create a friendly environment to attract them and help them succeed.
“My goal remains the same as it was on day one as mayor: making New York City the crypto capital of the globe,” Adams said. His remarks echo similar pledges from President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly said he wants to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet.”

Israel urges ICC to drop arrest warrants against PM
The Hague (AFP) – Israel has asked the International Criminal Court to dismiss its arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant while ICC judges reconsider complex jurisdictional questions.In a 14-page document dated May 9 but posted on the ICC website on Monday, Israel argued the warrants issued in November were null and void while judges weigh a previous Israeli challenge to the ICC's jurisdiction in the case.
In a ruling that made headlines around the world, the ICC found "reasonable grounds" to believe Netanyahu and Gallant bore "criminal responsibility" for war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the war in Gaza.
The court also issued a war crimes warrant against top Hamas commander Mohammed Deif over the October 7 attacks that sparked the conflict. The case against Deif was dropped in February after his death.
Israel, not one of the ICC's 125 members, challenged the court's jurisdiction but judges on the ICC's "Pre-Trial Chamber" dismissed the bid and issued the arrest warrants.
But last month, the ICC's Appeals Chamber ruled the Pre-Trial Chamber was wrong to dismiss the challenge and ordered it to look again in detail at Israel's arguments.
Israel says now that the arrest warrants should not stay in place while this complex and lengthy process is ongoing.
"Unless and until the Pre-Trial Chamber has ruled on the substance of the jurisdiction challenge... the prerequisite jurisdictional finding does not exist," Israel argued.
"It follows that the arrest warrants issued on 21 November 2024 must be withdrawn or vacated pending the Pre-Trial Chamber's determination of Israel's jurisdictional challenge."
Israel and its allies reacted furiously to the warrants issued on November 21, Netanyahu describing it as an "anti-Semitic decision" and then US president Joe Biden slamming it as "outrageous."
Technically, any member of the ICC is required to arrest Netanyahu if he travels there, although the court has no independent power to enforce warrants.
Israel argued in its submission that Netanyahu could theoretically be arrested while the court was still weighing whether it had jurisdiction in the case.
"Depriving persons of their liberty on the basis of an arrest warrant issued in the absence of the necessary legal pre-conditions is an egregious violation of fundamental human rights and of the rule of law," Israel argued.
Allowing the warrants to stay in place during the deliberations "is unlawful and undermines the legitimacy of the court," said Israel.
"Depriving persons of their liberty on the basis of an arrest warrant issued in the absence of the necessary legal pre-conditions is an egregious violation of fundamental human rights and of the rule of law," Israel argued.
So by this statement all the Israel's prisons full of Palestinian hostages jailed but not charged with any crime should be freed, right?
Oggi 12 maggio, 44 anni fa, l'attentato a Giovanni Paolo II
In questo giorno del 1981, Papa Giovanni Paolo II fu ferito a colpi d'arma da fuoco dal turco Mehmet Ali Ağca in Piazza San Pietro, Città del Vaticano. Il Papa rimase gravemente ferito: un proiettile gli trapassò l'addome e un altro mancò di poco il cuore.

Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white Afrikaners, citing moral opposition
"In light of our church's steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step," [bishop] Rowe wrote. "Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government."

“fuck my stupid baka femcel life” — “fanculo la mia stupida vita baka femcel”
t.me/famiterimediosa/1431 — t.me/thewireeed/10726
Il mio mood corrente è correntemente talmente tanto quanto quello illustrato in foto che, ormai, è per me difficile anche solo postare questa comunicazione sicuramente di pubblico interesse a riguardo… caspita. Tuttavia, diciamo che la cosa ha anche i suoi lati positivi… si dice “fanculo la mia stupida baka femcel vita” nel senso che in realtà ci sono momenti in cui ci si può distrarre ampiamente, fino alla nausea, rendendo quindi automaticamente possibile il dire “fanculo” a tutto il resto, nel senso di “nun m n fott, stong ind ‘o mij“, di conseguenza godendo triplicemente. (O forse solo doppiamente, mah, non l’ho ancora ben capito… comunque, si nota sicuramente dallo stendersi.)Chiaramente, questa robaccia è sempre un’arma a doppio taglio (o, per l’appunto, triplo magari in questo caso) — perché nel caso in cui si verifica, cosa che tecnicamente comporta il finire all’estremo di comportamento opposto a quello del rotting, per la teoria del ferro di cavallo si finisce esattamente sempre nella marciscenza, solo con delle vibe diverse. Certo, non c’è la voglia di perdere tempo, bensì di fare… e diventa infatti proprio questo il nuovo problema. Ieri sera ho fatto un’altra volta estremamente tardi per andare a letto, per via di progetti… mentre l’odierna mattinata è anch’essa passata tutta appresso a i progetti, e così il pomeriggio (lì anche complici i bugfix)… al punto che mi sono lavata letteralmente alle 7 di sera… giusto poco prima di fare merenda tipo alle 19:30… perché se mi metto a programmare, fanculo tutto il resto del necessario. 💔

Opinioni su sourcehut?
Qualcuno conosce, utilizza o ha qualche opinione su sourcehut?
Stavo cercando e valutando nuove case per lista.lealternative.net visto che codeberg.page ha spesso e volentieri problemi e mi è stato risposto che:
Currently the stability of the pages server is tied to the stability of codeberg.org. If codeberg.org gets downtime, then the pages server gets downtime and once codeberg.org recovers it takes a while for the pages server to recover because of some heavy caching in certain operations. Although uptime kuma doesn't always reflect this very well, we have a set of codeberg pages that uptime kuma pings and if one of them seems to be down the whole pages server is marked as down until that page recovers, which leads to false positives in the reporting. There's also this "oops pages server got killed because of a memory leak" that happens every few months, but otherwise nothing else impacts the stability of the pages server to our knowledge.However long-term stability, there's also codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./Dis… If you are not a codeberg e.V. member, I'll summaries it: Proposal to retire the codeberg pages server as it had some long-standing problems and no active maintenance to fix issues. The resolution was to rewrite the pages server to a Rust codebase from scratch that would avoid the current architectural problems with the pages server.
Quindi insomma ho paura non sia troppo affidabile nel corso del tempo e sta iniziando ad essere irraggiungibile un po' troppe volte e la cosa non mi fa troppo piacere.
GitHub Pages non lo prendo nemmeno in considerazione mentre GitLab Pages, quello ufficiale, purtroppo utilizza parecchie CDN anche statunitensi e di Big Tech e volevo evitarlo.
Ora stavo vedendo con favore sourcehut che una soluzione (a pochi euro al mese) per hostare il proprio codice + sito. Loro hanno server nei Paesi Bassi ma non li conosco molto quindi volevo sapere se qualcuno ha esperienze oppure qualche opinione in merito. Mi sembra però un bel progetto libero e aperto.
Il modo per pubblicare il sito è un po' più complesso ma ho già fatto delle prove e si riesce tranquillamente a fare anche con Le Alternative | Lista. Potrei anche pensare di appoggiare gli altri codici lì e abbandonare Codeberg per evitare frammentazione ma non so ancora con certezza.

Ero sicuro di aver risposto a questo commento ma non lo vedo quindi devo essermi totalmente rimbambito.
Grazie mille per questa segnalazione, non lo conoscevo. Lo sto provando e sembra funzionare bene ed è abbastanza semplice. Potrebbe essere una buona alternativa per poter mantenere il codice su Codeberg ma l'hosting da un'altra parte.

Google to pay Texas nearly $1.4 billion over alleged data privacy violations
therecord.media/google-texas-p…
Another lawsuit settlement has struck Google. This time, the company is now liable for one of the largest payouts from a state-level consumer data protection legislation in the United States.
Google has agreed to pay Texas more than $1.37 billion to resolve two lawsuits involving its use of location data, biometrics and its Incognito search engine.The payout far outstrips any other state settlements against the tech giant to date on claims involving data privacy.
Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Google in 2022, alleging the company illegally tracked and collected users’ private data, including their location, their voiceprints and faces and their searches in Incognito mode. The latter has been the subject of other lawsuits claiming the special search engine does not deliver the privacy it promises.
“In Texas, Big Tech is not above the law,” Paxton said in a statement, which accused Google of “secretly” tracking Texans’ data.
“This $1.375 billion settlement is a major win for Texans’ privacy and tells companies that they will pay for abusing our trust.”
A Google spokesperson noted that the settlement reached on Friday does not mandate new product changes and said the company has already made policy fixes which address the issues at the heart of the lawsuit.
The settlement also includes no admission of wrongdoing by Google, the spokesperson said.
Does this fix anything? Not really. Since Google has already changed much of its privacy policies since the original 2022 lawsuit, this settlement seems reactive at best.
