5G in Australia or Malaysia - who did it better?

During my trip to Malaysia, I noticed a Huawei store—something that’s become rare in Australia. While Huawei phones aren’t banned, they’re hard to find due to the lack of Google services and Australia’s reliance on those seevices.

But it got me thinking: Australia has excluded Huawei from its 5G infrastructure, whereas Malaysia has taken a different approach by considering Huawei’s involvement in its 5G rollout. How do you view these differing tech strategies?

The Best way to switch to Linux is to NOT in c/[email protected]

Yeah I originally trying to daily Linux for like the past 10 years but kept falling back to Windows, mainly due to the app compatibility.

A lot of people suggested dual booting but I found that it messed up disrupted my workflow, and Level 2 hypervisors were too slow to be practical

What finally made Linux stick for me was Proxmox.. it let daily Linux and still have the option to quickly spin up a Windows VM with a GPU if I needed something urgently, without the hassle of rebooting.

So now, six months later, I’m dailying Arch and also self-hosting a bunch of stuff on Debian, and I haven’t looked back.

I think it's about convenience.

Wyze says camera breach let 13,000 customers briefly see into other people’s homes in c/[email protected]

@catculation This has happened before and is a really big issue, but wouldn't some sort of network segmentation have helped prevent this especially as it's happened before?

I gave away my wife's Wyze camera and moved to Ubiquiti. It cost me a small fortune.

Not self-hosting at the moment but still, nothing can be as bad as Wyze, right?

@Squizzy @yamanii This extension does exactly that (at least on desktop) and stops doom scrolling without removing them entirely: https://github.com/doma-itachi/Youtube-shorts-block

in your opinion, what would meet the definition of "broke the Internet?" in c/[email protected]

@Usernameblankface Some sort of attack that manages to take down Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, and Google Services at the same time. Would break a lot more than just the internet though.

Yes, I have noticed a trend of homelab hobbyists going back to something like this:

Soulseek -> Nicotine+ for plentiful, lossless content
Jellyfin for self-hosting
Infuse for streaming the content remotely to save storage on your phone.

I don't endorse piracy for ethical reasons, but I get why this is trending up:
-Increasingly aggressive pricing models
-Service quality and content accessibility going down

Really makes it hard for consumers...
