    My best friend has has had the Samsung version of this for four different generations now. I’ve always been a hater about it but now in gen 4, there are very few issues with Samsung’s folding phones… but they still suck and are fragile as hell.
    My conclusion: all folding screen phones like this are shite and Apple gets a first generation mulligan on this one. This release is as bad as any in their history and they should have seen it coming a mile away given Samsung’s myriad issues.

    My rule: NEVER BUY AN OVERPRICED, GIMMICKY, FIRST-GENERATION APPLE PRODUCT.

    Nice. I like Nix because it allows me to build custom systemd services that just work. I was able to build a systemd service I call “homebeacon” which tells my laptop whether it’s actually on my home network, cryptographically. A responder on my server signs a challenge with an Ed25519 key; the laptop checks four cheap network signals first, then does the handshake. The signature covers the server’s address so it can’t be relayed from outside.

    The verdict raises or lowers a systemd target. NAS mounts arm when home and go inert when away, so the filesystem doesn’t hang. Battery charges to 80% at the desk, 100% travelling. It doesn’t drive firewall rules, keyring unlock, disk unlock; Nothing a spoofed “home” could turn into access.
