On: Google Pixel phones not receiving phone calls after March 2024 update

[luryus]

Many Google Pixel owners globally have had issues receiving calls and texts after a March software update to the phones. Incoming calls are either directed straight to voicemail or callers receive a "not available" message. The Pixel phones show full bars, but never ring.

I just got a new Pixel 8 a couple of weeks ago, and I have already missed a handful of important calls. It's really bad that the most basic functionality for a phone has been broken for weeks.

Google has not acknowledged this anywhere.

On: Bitwarden is down with blank screen under Linux OpenSuse

I've been developing my own TUI Bitwarden client recently: https://github.com/luryus/wden

I need passwords outside of the browser quite frequently (when SSHing to servers and so on), and the official Electron app just feels clunky and heavy to use and keep running constantly in the background. So creating a small and lightweight client optimized for my own usage patterns has been really useful. It may be useful for others, too, while the official client is broken.

There's an official CLI though isn't there?

Yes, but it is quite uncomfortable to use, requiring you to get a session key and storing it somewhere. Instead, I've had good experiences with [rbw]. Maybe that would also be interesting for GP.

I've used to rbw for a rofi (and rofi-like frontend): https://github.com/fdw/rofi-rbw/

You can detach the browser addon into its own window too, I would be too cautious using any third party clients like that.

On: Let's Encrypt DST Root CA X3 has expired

[luryus]

We got hit with gRPC considering the LE certs as expired: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/27532

Luckily this was quick to fix by just renewing the server cert without the DST root.

On: Cloud Filestore, high-performance file storage for GCP users

[luryus]

Between Cloud Storage, Cloud Datastore, Cloud Firestore and now Cloud Filestore the naming of these services is frustratingly confusing. Oh and of course there are also BigQuery and BigTable, which do not really give any clearer picture of the actual service. I've used GCP extensively for more than a year now and I still get confused about the different storage services way too often.

I came in here to say the same thing.

"Google Cloud Storage" could be a product but also the encompassing category of all the things you mentioned?

Also on the Firebase pricing page (https://firebase.google.com/pricing) they have a "Realtime Database", is that related to datastore or cloud storage?

They also have another item there just labeled "Storage". Is that one of the above?

And at the bottom you get "Google Cloud Platform" on the "Blaze Plan". Is that the products you mentioned that all start with "Cloud"?

[manigandham → luryus]

AWS uses random unique names and Azure uses more standard component names, while GCP seems to be in the middle.

No approach is "the best". They're all very different services and if you're going to use them then you would've read the overview anyway.

[awad → manigandham]

Having a product overview is still not an excuse for terrible naming.
