Thanks for the reminder. I've often come back to this quote while discussing the dystopian state of surveillance capitalism (especially as it pertains to web tracking) with people …

Cathartic to read this! Just had a very similar experience with a Subaru from the same generation as yours. While that particular issue isn't solvable, I am open to any advice on c…

Postgres supports the Foreign Data Wrapper concept from SQL/MED. If you configure this you can do joins across instances, even! https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/postgres-fdw…

So if they are using information people freely share to social media sites as the seeds for their investigatory and enforcement actions it follows that there is a simple trick peop…

They do, but some seem to be gradually removing functionality (like check deposit via scan + upload) in favor of using their amazingly convenient (/s) app.

Admittedly, that part was a bit tongue in cheek. Rather, I wish that is "what one does now", as I think we might live in a somewhat nicer world rather than one driven by whatever h…

AMD 6700XT owner here (12Gb VRAM) - Can confirm. Once I figured out my local ROCm setup Ollama was able to run with GPU acceleration no problem. Connecting an OpenWebUI docker inst…

I concur. I own a System 76 laptop, and it runs PopOS. It's been stable for years (taking the regular updates). They make a variety of hardware products ranging from portable/light…

Just adding a $0.02 here - I placed an order for the free/gifted-with-subscription Kagi shirt and received it about a month later. Worn twice so far. Largest complaint? It shrank q…

Same. Kagi has been a breath of fresh air after suffering years of enshittification with other search engines whom are much more interested in your clickstream than providing you w…

Exactly. The results of the US Presidential Election in 2024 show us that slightly more than 1 in 5 Americans cast a ballot in favor of Donald Trump. assumptions: The publicly-avai…

Agree with your Shelly-behind-the-switch model. My one hesitation going all-in with them has been perhaps reaching an eventual state of "too much 2.4Ghz WiFi traffic on a narrow Io…

Gotcha. Yeah, I mean all of these platforms are certainly juicy targets for room 641A [0] shenanigans. I just wondered if there had been some public leaks or something which we mig…

I was assuming that it's a loss-leader sort of business strategy at play before reading your comment. Do you care to share any insights/references to support this claim?
