This fight is being taken up by a privacy group noyb. It is not necessarily against Meta directly, but against all websites that attempt to force consent for tracking. Noyb is looking to set a precedent. Meta is the biggest company doing this, and so a win here would send the message of 'If Meta can not defend this, then a smaller website definitely can not defend this'. Noyb has been known in the past to create mass filings against companies that have a clear, well defined breach of privacy.

As to if there are bigger fights to fight. Probably. But noyb has chosen to fight this fight, and I think that is fine. Someone else will have to pick up the other fights.

OpenTelemetry is a large suite of software, that supports many use cases. I think you got what you wanted but didn't realise it!

The dedicated executable that you are after is called the OpenTelemtry Collector.

The OpenTelemetry SDK for your language of choice should include many exporters, which describe the format and transport mechanism for the traces. The exporters can be installed separately from the core SDK. The OpenTelemetry Collector can then use an appropriate receiver to ingest those traces.

Here is a file based receiver for the collector:

I enjoyed this post quite a lot!

Any chance you could add a feed to your blog?

Here is an interesting guide from the Royal College of Physicians (UK) that recommends a caffeine nap to help with the night shift.

The sections on Napping, and also the section on Caffeine are interesting. The gist of it is the caffeine will take 20 minutes or so to take effect, so by combining it with a short nap you get a double whammy.

This is useful when you have multiple methods to authenticate.

Maybe this user should be redirected to an oauth2 identity provider or maybe they should enter a password.

Good implementations of this will have a hidden password field for password managers to fill along with the username. You'll still need to press enter twice though.

That's already the case. Since you must be able to identify yourself when asked, you have an obligation to carry your identification with you.

I believe the obligation to carry identification, and to have identification are enforced differently in different countries / states. But there is more information here:

> At some point there will be a situation where you cannot do anything because you are in the 0.01% of the system that is broken.

Not wanting to identify yourself and not being able to identify yourself are two seperate topics. I sympathise with people who fall outside of the system, but e-identity is currently a matter of convenience for people who already have identity documents and are seeking easier ways of accessing services online.

> What happens if I don't want to identify myself?

It is already an offence in several EU countries to fail to present official ID documents when asked by the police.

If you don't want to identity yourself the outcome will likely depend on the mood of the police office. They may give you a verbal warning and send you on your way or they may choose to arrest you until they can ascertain your identity.

In terms of CO2 specifically we can think of it as the 'embodied carbon' which the CO2 created during manufacturing of the parts, transportation, and assembly. Then we have the 'operational carbon' which is the day to day impact.

So to amortise the carbon cost we take the embodied carbon, plus the operation carbon over a time frame. If the operational carbon is negative we would expect that at some point it would break even.

So to help with the English, I don't think it makes sense to talk about the amortisation during the change over since that is just the embodied carbon. But I think it definitely makes sense to talk about the amortised cost over some other time period after the change over.

Seems reasonable by the above definition. I would say the standard way to consume audio from youtube is to play the video on youtube.com or in the app, not by writing an MP4 parser.

The fines were issued to Facebook Ireland and Google Ireland, which are within the jurisdiction of the EU.

Typically if a company wishes to do business with EU residents they have to comply with the EU regulations. Many larger companies choose to incorporate somewhere in the EU to make this easier or in some cases they will even incorporate in each country that they do business in.
