I lost faith in this company, Mozilla has been distracted by chasing hypes, taking money from a major competitor, dropped servo development, the list goes on and on. I had to kagi for "Mozilla Foundation" NPO to confirm that it's still a nonprofit.

In today's view, I'm looking at a Ad Company depends on Google happens to own a browser. This contradicts one of it's main sale point: diversifying the browser market. For me what's left for Firefox is just uB0 support.

There's no remorse in switching to and strongly soliciting Firefox forks like LibreWolf or Waterfox.

I might have misunderstood. If this a part of static site generation it might make some sense. But just syncing some random rss feed to bsky with GH actions seems like a bit excessive and wasteful. A simple daemon can do.

I'm seeing many sites sending my behavior data to analytics.tiktok, will this be a part of the us blockade?

I’m currently using a tiny11 modified installation of win11, I had to go through some extra steps to debloat the OS properly, after that it’s more usable. But last month, despite of all my efforts to not have windows update checked and applied, it booted with latest “upates”. With copilot and reinstalled edge as default browser.

Since then I have blocked windows update related on DNS/Router and on device firewall.

Security? It’s just a fancy game console.

I don't how much barber and tailor cost in the US, but that can be a substantial amount like 20+$ for a barber and a few hundreds for a suit. That's, a whole lot. (SG/JP)

I used to have some problem with some Chinese crawlers, first I told them no with robots.txt, then I see a swarm of of non-bot user-agents from cloud providers in China, so I blocked their ASN, and then I see another rise of IPs from some Chinese ISP, so I eventually I have to block the entire country_code = cn and show them a robots.txt

the only reason Im still paying for M365 is that my grandpa can't use anything else than MS Word, despite of all the awful changes MS made to its UI thought out the years.

Old people stubborness can be interesting.

Maintening that subscription is a pain, as MS occasionally change default save location to SharePoint. I'm the sole admin and I've never touched any thing.

I hate those tragic links, some of them were sent from third party and infested with tracking links. Worse, it looks like from the site I'm logging in to, but the href is a tracker with redirection to the actual link. I see this frequently because my dns blocks those trackers.

these conditions will be off not already covered in the TOS, and exempted the operator from being responsible for.

yeah, rust is mainly for developers,and curl are for sysadmins and their derivatives.

long time ago, whenever I faced a login wall, I would try asdfasdf/asdfasdf. 90% of all times it worked.

Thank you on behalf of my waifu!

FreeIPA and Authentik works pretty well for me, I did some of this for my self with terraform for fun. Personally I don’t think it’s viable SMB who can’t hire a couple of sysadmins.

But the documentation for FreeIPA is especially good. Personally wouldn’t use samba as windows DC, but one legacy windows server license seems reasonable if you are having a few hundreds of employees.

In a previous job we’ve done Windows DC + Azure AD + FreeIPA + FreeRadius just fine, the entire setup is not super complicated, but still a headache. I think nowadays most of the thing can be terraformed so it could be easier and more scalable for growing SMBs.

ProtonMail's encryption is PGP, and it's difficult to get PGP right. The whole signing party thing doesn't scale. If it can't be done right, then it's just a hype at best.

I love their masked email. Normally other offerings like SimpleLogin (by Proton) or Addy.io are $3+/mo.

Fastmail's masked mail is an effortless addition to existing services, at no extra cost.

I can't say for en <-> de, I can read both without problem. But for Japanese DeepL is much better, often times the tone from gpt4 are little bit "rude"/direct or "weird" in en to jp, deepl is as good as an example sentence they would put into a textbook. For jp to en, most gpt4 or any llm is much superior, because you can ask follow up questions on certain slangs, or anything that's not very clear.

Page is plagued with "Contact Sales". So that's not for individuals who are seeking replacement for Google Translate / Live Transcribe.

When I saw the title I was kinda expecting a voice-to-voice translator with voice synth (interpreter), which is something I'm painstakingly building as a side project. I can just drop my project and use a more mature one.

Some clients are more like a bot/service, imagine google reader that fetches and caches content for you. The client I’m currently using is miniflux, it also works in this way.

I understand that there are some more interactive rss readers, but from personal experience it’s more like “hey I’m a good bot, let me in”

IPMI/BMC is a must if plan to keep the server running longer than a release cycle of your Linux distribution.

Also remember ask your provider to assign you a private vlan and vpn to it for your own access only.

> The device delivers light electrical stimulation to the prefrontal cortex

Literally means tDCS or tACS, there are too many funded researches on this actually, like way too many:

I remember when I was in the field, it was one of the hotter topics in the neurosciences quite some time ago (~2010).

“Silently overnight, it’s everywhere, in every Windows 10 and 11 PC.”

So they are willing to deploy AI BS to an “old” system (win10), rather than the amd performance fix users desperately need.

Although in practice Japan currently has 5 days workweek, but in law it’s 6 days (Saturdays included).

It'd be more exciting if GPS supports RTK, but still I would buy this in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile Japan also has similar laws passed recently, but apple did not bend

Can't wait to have a Compute Module(CM) that's compatible with pi-cluster etc.

Last month there was a good supply of used Mellanox SN2010s, a 16x25G+4x100G x86 white box switch/router capable of being a firewall at price of ~1000$. But it's all gone now.

I thought PoE in surveillance cameras are common, I though wrong.

These aren't something I would like to hear if I'm still using Notion. It's very bold to publish something like this on their own website.

I've been using freeipa[1] in the past, it wasn't specifically easy to setup, but is well designed, documented, and supported. Plus, it's able to manage certificates. But to use more "modern" techs, like OpenID, Keycloak will be needed.
