JPEG XL is awesome. I got 1/8 of the size converting (very small, like 800kB) PNGs to lossless JXL.

GIMP can open them I think, but can’t save them. ImageMagick supports it obviously and so does KDE’s image library so I get previews there and whatnot.

It really depends on what you want to use them with imo, if you view them in a specific program and that supports it, go for it.

What are the “2 all-day events”?

Tap on it to find out (if this wasn't an image). I assume there's a fixed one row of space for an all-day event there. That's definitely on purpose, considering they even have a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events. Sure, it could be two or up to two elements but that comes at the cost of the detail on the timeline below. They probably considered the timeline to be more important because that changes more often as opposed to the all-day events that only change once per day, and that as a consequence you're going to check the all-day events once per day (or even just the day before), so you can just tap the widget if you want to see them.

It would be great if it was more customizable in terms of the layout of course, but this is Apple we're talking about. I'm honestly surprised there's a toggle switch to completely hide all-day events in the first place.

Why is HALF of the widget wasted white space.

This one's a timeline, not a list of events unlike the one in your post, and in that time (8-12 today) there are no events, so it's blank. It's as much wasted white space as the full calendar view with no events in it.

Personally I have no problem with the calendar widget, but I have to say collapsing today's all-day events in the list view as in the OP if there's space left is questionable at best.

I don't know honestly??? University is draining the life out of me right now but other than that I think I'm fine, in spite of my tendencies to say/do things that might indicate otherwise (but at least part of that is just because I like being dramatic sometimes).

Though considering I've often been having low motivation to do anything and sometimes just been staying in bed for over half of the day saying I'm fine might just be a whole lotta cope. :^)

But yeah I would say most of my friend group is not depressed, but I've also never directly asked and you often never know so that doesn't mean much.

It offers no practical benefit to small networks at the moment.

The internet is not a “small network”, and I assume your small network is connected to it. You need local IPv6 routing to have access to IPv6-only hosts which are becoming more and more because it’s reasonable in terms of price to get an IPv6 block unlike IPv4 blocks which are being auctioned for tens of thousands of dollars at this point (!!!!).

Also restoring global addressing is a huge benefit. P2P communications in IPv4 has become an insane mess of workarounds due to lack of addresses and this becomes worse the more layers of NAT you stick behind each other to try to save your ass from the rising tide.

I’m really sick of hearing these idiotic excuses over and over, “it’s hard” this, “it’s unsafe” that, “it’s expensive”, “understanding the eldritch secrets of IPv6 has driven 5 of my colleagues into madness” skill issue. THERE ARE NO MORE IPV4 ADDRESSES. So unless your network is so fucked that you haven’t managed to fix it in 26 years, since IPv6 has been standardized, or it really is just an internal network with no outward facing services where it doesn’t matter when someone who just has IPv6 can’t access it because they wouldn’t be able to access it anyway, and you’re not some kind of ISP, you have no reason not to have support for it at this point and you absolutely never have a reason to tell people it’s not “useful” because that is straight up wrong in the general case even if it might be true for your situation.

ipv6 in home lans is likely to be unsafe due to the defaults in some/many/most routers?

no

and those ipv6 devices can in these szenarios escalate their permissions be spawning new ip adresses

yes and this is not "escalating their permissions", it is in fact the expected behavior with Privacy Extensions (RFC 4941) where devices will probably have multiple addresses at the same time that are used for outgoing connections

that would overcome lazy output fw rules?

any router that doesn't have deny as the default rule for WAN->LAN traffic (probably not many) is trash, and if you're filtering LAN->WAN traffic (not really usual for a home network) then you want default deny there too, but at that point that is not an ipv6 problem

or if i upload a malicious apk to some smartTV and have a it spawn a dhvpv6 server and then spawn a new virtual device that would be given an IP by my fake dhcpv6 to bypass. and we all can use macaddresschanger.

rogue dhcp is not an ipv6 exclusive problem

so you say with macfiltering the router would still prevent unwanted direct connections between my c&c server and some malicious virtual device? that’d be cool, but i dont understand how.

yes, firewall rules can work based on mac addresses, not sure exactly what you mean

They’re FIDO keys but bad.

Here’s a great blog post from someone who knows what they’re talking about: https://fy.blackhats.net.au/blog/2024-04-26-passkeys-a-shattered-dream/

Higher peak data rate, lower latency, more network capacity are basically the main improvements for phone users. Partially because the whole radio protocol (among other things) was redesigned to reduce overhead and also because of the new mmWave bands which have enormous bandwidth.

That's fair, when I was in the middle of nowhere in Finland a couple of years ago, the map was often very barebones, that's also probably where I did the most edits to date. That's kinda the downside of a community project where people usually map the area they live in or visit, when fewer people live somewhere there's fewer people to improve the map. And yeah, I feel like OSM is more popular in Europe in general.

I don't know if there's anything ready for use, there's a library and demo app here: https://github.com/Hirohumi/rust-rcs-client
