I've used uBlock Origin Lite and have had no issues with blocking ads. The only downside I've seen is that I can't do "Block Elements" to hide non-ad annoying parts of sites.

They certainly want their models to be good at finding and patching vulnerabilities. Being good at hacking may be necessary in that goal, or rather, making it worse at hacking may …

Dedicated machines can obviously solve an issue more efficiently, but it’s still good to have a machine that can do most things adequately. As an example, you can have an automated…

I don't think anything is actually "necessary" if you want to be strict on definitions. I think it's absolutely fair and unlikely to be illegal to use a cookie to remember cookie p…

When it comes to programming, it’s very easy to tell whether it’s right or wrong. Just run the code. The small/fast model used for the overview isn’t smart, but it’s still pretty g…

OpenBSD's primary purpose is to create artwork ( https://www.openbsd.org/artwork.html ), releasing an OS is a side project.

Rather than just having the options "Done" and "Move to Bin", give me an option to actually run it without having to manually go into System Settings each and every time without di…
