In Europe at least, most banks require IOS or Android. Even to login into the web Frontend.

"Most" seems quite inaccurate. There is a Graphene OS banking app compatibility database [here](https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking-apps-compat-report); it is not easy to filter for European banks, but the [incompatible](https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking-apps-compat-report/is...) ones are less than 10% of the total [reports](https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking-apps-compat-report/is...).

Im confused. Graphene is also Android. So yes, Graphene works, as long as the Bank is not extremely draconic with their security checks.

There are quite a few people from Europe on HN saying that you can find banks not forcing the duopoly apps on you, in different countries.

You can. Thats why I said most.

However at that point you'll likely pay for the privilege.

Yes, fighting for your rights is not easy.

Are you using their web frontend?

That seems really broken.

I also get downgraded there all the time, but via API all is fine.

The point is that Nvidia popularized the term, Id guess.

Nvidia called the Geforce 256 the first ever GPU.

The best is likely Vyos. It acts quite similarly to routers from the likes of Arista/Cisco/Juniper.

Looking at the settings, its an option:

  Configure Overrides:                                                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                             
   1. Allow unsandboxed fallback                                                                                                                                            
    2. Strict sandbox mode (current)                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                             
  Allow unsandboxed fallback: When a command fails due to sandbox restrictions, Claude can retry with dangerouslyDisableSandbox to run outside the sandbox (falling back to  
   default permissions).                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                             
  Strict sandbox mode: All bash commands invoked by the model must run in the sandbox unless they are explicitly listed in excludedCommands.

I don’t know about most of them, but I’ve used .pw for many years for most of my domains as pw is really cheap even on renewal.

>What would make something like this actually useful in day-to-day work?

Monitoring of BGP Changes for ASNs.

The other stuff isn't something I really need a new tool for.

There are other tools by Ripe, HE and the like that already allow me to see historical data.

The only point at which I need actual up-to-date to the minute data is during incidents. Hence the monitoring.

I use to use pulse turbobytes use tracroute from dozens of networks.

I lost count of how many times those results got a peer to acknowledge a forwarding plane discrepancy

Theres many.

Here is one Discussion/issue that is currently annoying me again.

https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/discussions/9515 https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/20005

Netbox is full of these kinds of things. Where people ask for stuff or even create PRs for it and the Maintainer of Netbox shoots it down because reason.

Wow, that second one was just straight up mean spirited. Doesn't feel like the responder even read it, given the comment about needing a discussion at the end despite it being linked. Not even mentioning the frankly unrealistic expectations of quality is annoying when the contribution guide didn't have those kinds of insane requirements then and still doesn't now.

From what I know the law is passed already. And they will become illegal end of 2026.

In the EU/EEA or where?

If 20 minutes is all you need once a week, yeah it maybe doesnt make sense for you.

I have a dog and need to vacuum at least once a day, currently.

Without a robot vacuum, Id go crazy.

Ok fair enough.
