Okay, that makes much more sense.

Wait, is it required to mirror the entire Bluesky history? Can’t you just store only new messages? Because the storage requirements (4.5TB according to the article) make it almost impossible to self-host.

TIL that Schneider Electric is a French company. I always assumed it was American or Swiss.

I have been contemplating moving to SearNXG for a few weeks, but I have a hard time finding whether I can configure things like domain down-ranking/blocking or custom bangs and lenses, does anyone know if you can do that on a user or instance-level?

I still don’t get why Strava activities are public by default and why they do not make their users aware of it. I remember having to rummage through the settings to make activities private by default.

If you want an experience similar to Arc without the AI nonsense, there is Zen Browser, a Firefox fork with vertical tabs, profiles and side panel.

Personally Meet hasn’t worked in Firefox for weeks, unless I clear all my Google cache and cookies, where it’ll work once and then no more.

I have Enhanced Tracking Protection set to strict and disabling uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger does not fix the issue, though I haven’t tried lowering / disabling ETP.

Parents, maybe? They are usually so concerned about children’s safety, whether that’s their kids or someone else’s.

I already did back when Microsoft announced they would drop WMR, but it was (and still is) pretty experimental, with no controller support and 6DoF requiring external tracking.

For me it’s one year to keep Windows Mixed Reality working. I’m still miffed that they pulled the plug with no alternative other than putting my headset in the bin and get a new one…

It will end up being analogous to Uber and Lyft, and neither helps reducing the amount of cars on the road.

Hum, I never considered this option, though a bug in the CAN bus is more likely than brake lights being out. Some Renault cars were notorious for this, but in this instance I believe it was a Volkswagen Touran.

It’s more a near-miss than an accident, but here we go:

We were coming back from holidays with my dad, he was driving and I was riding shotgun. We were on the highway (middle lane to be exact) when the car in front of us suddenly lost speed, brake lights still off. My dad was able to narrowly avoid the car, it’s frightening to think that we probably owe our life to his reaction time. To this day we have no idea what happened.

Don’t want to wait? Get Firefox

Also it doesn’t respect robots.txt (the file that tells bots whether or not a given page can be accessed) unlike most AI scrapping bots.

A free and open internet shouldn’t come at the expense of privacy

Free as in free beer, not as in freedom unfortunately

If you go for RAID, I would advise for software RAID rather than hardware (i.e provided by your motherboard or a physical car). Hardware RAID will lock you to the particular motherboard or RAID card, which would represent an additional hurdle when upgrading or replacing it.

I recall that Acer laptops had a reputation of being unreliable over 10 years ago already, I’m surprised it had not improved since then.

I see Amazon is trying something else for their 2024 attrition strategy.

(for those wondering what I mean by attrition strategy)

Maybe you could deploy a blog on Netlify (which has a free tier) using one of Decap CMS’s starter templates?
