This is a really valid point, especially because it's not only faster but dramatically cheaper.

The thing is, summaries which are pretty terrible might be costly. If decision makers are relying on these summaries and they're inaccurate, then the consequences might be immeasurable.

Suppose you're considering 2 cars, one is very cheap but on one random day per month it just won't start, the other is 5x the price but will work every day. If you really need the car to get to work, then the one that randomly doesn't start might be worse than no car at all.

The flag looks a bit like a disgruntled goose.

He keeps trotting out the same old schtick though. Just yesterday / today at his mara lago presser, more Biden stuff.

Obviously. Why is that threatened by this antitrust ruling ?

  1. His thinking is completely inflexible. He's quite simply unable to adapt to his new opponents. He's spent so long practising insulting biden in the mirror and now he can't use his repertoire.

Nonsense. The users who have left are an infinitesimal portion of users.

This article doesn't even bother to explain the connection. I don't get it if I'm honest.

booking.com is the worst I've encountered. There's a captcha type anti-bot thing that I can't pass with firefox. I think it uses canvas.

edit: another I use all the time is called echo360. It's the platform my university uses to host lecture videos. The player just plain doesn't work in firefox - blank screen.

So that makes odysee's behaviour OK?

Yeah it really does seem this way.

I've never been a "free speech absolutist". I acknowledge that censorship is problematic, but it seems much less so than the alternative.

I hadn't heard of this.

The FAQ says it's not a 1 for 1 replacement. There's a lot of features which can't be ported.

It's probably better than nothing for most people, but not as good as uBO was.

Still, I wonder why it's not mentioned more often.

Meh.

Librewolf already breaks loads of websites with it's fingerprinting resistance - just get used to turning it off.

In any case, you already need a chromium fork handy for all the sites that just plain don't support firefox any more. I've run in to weird issues in firefox that don't arise in chromium several times in the last month. This is going to get much worse.

As for changing browsers. I don't care very much. I don't use many browser features like bookmarks or passwords.

 

I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.

I'm having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.

I'd like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.

I'm hoping to decommission my home server so I'd like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.

With all that in mind, I'm looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.

 

Just wondered if any one is using block lists for their docker containers.

IPSum publishes a great list of IPs worth blocking.

The thing is, I know docker networking interacts with iptables in a complex way such that the iptables INPUT chain is ignored.

The docker docs say you can put custom rules in DOCKER-USER chain, but my iptables knowledge isn't great and I think I'm more likely to mess something up than to have any success.

The thing is, I'm sure that this is something loads of other people have encountered, and I'm sure there must be an easier way.

 

 

Gerbera is a UPnP media server. I've used it (and it's predecessor mediatomb) for many years. Rock solid. Works well with VLC.
