Funny, on Linux I just use the special key (normally alt or super) to do all my window moving and resizing. It requires no precision at all and works even in tiling WMs without tit…

> What happens when Not even this. If you do what OP says on the firefox, and turn on ResistFingerprinting, you'd be seeing many Cloudflare captchas a day. In effect it directly pu…

They are separate but related concerns. Privacy is what you have (or don't have) right now. Control is what you can use to keep or throw it away in the future. Apple gives you some…

It's very country dependent. In the US, I don't think many banks do that, but I heard in Europe this is used a lot more, presumably due to more regulatory bs. It's worth noting Gra…

I wonder if it would be feasible to build an automated phone-using robot, and access it remotely for any kind of apps enforcing that type of crap. There is really nothing they can …

Firefox sync clearly requires a central server. For any kind of peer to peer syncing to work you must have the machines on at the same time and accessible. And then there is the is…

A powerful enough machine (usually limited by RAM, not CPU) will let you run a hypervisor OS like Proxmox which helps a lot with making things secure and flexible. You might also w…

I don't really agree with this blog post; there is nothing enshittified about self-hosting. But it does almost seems like there is a squeeze on general purpose computing from all s…

The only way to avoid that is if that $100 buys you actual ownership, like the ability to have your own secure boot keys and modify the software. So long as Apple still owns your p…

This. If you pay them $100 for no ads, they'll just come back next quarter to ask for another $100, unless you actually own your device, i.e. are able to modify its software to act…

Or better, at the destination. If we just blind everyone, nudity ceases to be a problem.

> a whole chain of removed software freedom Indeed. But this already has happened for most people. All non-jailbroken iphones and most Androids cannot have their bootloader unlocke…

Sovereignty also means responsibility. Either you have to keep your network secure, or you pay someone else do it (not always very well), otherwise you get security problems. Same …

You can run rclone every couple minutes on your NAS, it checks mtimes like rsync so it is reasonably efficient for most cases, though you may run into ratelimits with bigger data.

GPT 5 Pro is a good 10x more expensive so it's an apples to oranges comparison.

The perf delta is smaller than I thought it'd be given the memory bandwidth difference. I guess likely comes from the Blackwell having native MXFP4, since GPT-OSS-120b has MXFP4 MO…

And the driver will just carry two phones, and be even more distracted than before. Cool

While this is undoubtably still an excellent deal, the comparison to the new price of H100 is a bit misleading, since today you can buy a new, legit RTX 6000 Pro for about $7-8k, a…

I don't have one, but I suppose it would be just fine if you only use it for running a desktop environment.

There are a lot of PC boards where the iGPU only has an HDMI 2.1 output, or with a DP1.4. But DP1.4 doesn't support some of the resolution/refresh combinations that HDMI 2.1 does. …

The type of audience Immich targets, pretty fundamentally limits the appeal of any hosted solution, unlike a lot of the infrastructure-type of project a lot of these "big cloud tak…

You can add it to your user CA store, but no app will trust it since it's treated differently from the system CA store, which you can't modify without root or building your own ROM…

If Google wants to censor your website, they have a variety of other, more effective methods, like by adding it to their safe browsing blacklist, which is also used in many Firefox…

A related issue is that most consumer devices (both iPhone and current Android) make it impossible or extremely difficult to trust your own root CA for signing such certs.
