I still have Netflix, but only because they still haven’t bothered me about account sharing. The moment they do, It’s going away.

Yeah, well I already got my boat in the water since the account sharing announcement from Netflix. I’m sure many more will do the same in the coming months.

I’m not so sure, they already have a similar integration called Privacy Attestation Tokens with Apple devices. See also https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/

I do hope you’re right

At the very least setting referer policy headers and such would be a good addition.

Streaming was great when Netflix launched, convenient and affordable - I remember being excited when Netflix finally launched in my country. Was only a matter of time before all would turn to shit with every tv network/producer launching their own streaming services and fragmenting all that content.

So it would seem it’s always a good idea to contact them, get a commercial license or custom licensing terms (they do seem open to that from what I gather here and here) before building a business on top of their software.

I think you underestimate the impact of this? Just a few situations I can think of:

• Google will certainly utilize this on YouTube and Gmail and pretty much anything offering free services where they are supported by ads.
• I’m assuming Cloudflare will make it easy for websites to enable it too, and we all know how many websites use Cloudflare.
• Imagine not being able to get any tickets to concerts because they block your browser to prevent people from using certain plug-ins that helps skip queues or something.
• You wont be able to read any news site, because I’m pretty sure all of them will use this to prevent people from bypassing paywalls.
• Pretty much any real estate, job listing, advertising site will implement this because they hate scrapers, and all sites that fear getting scraped for their data to be scraped into AI (like reddit, forums, qa-sites)
• …

Considering Chrome has such a large market share, sites will adopt it and people switch to Chrome because “it just works in Chrome”. So Chrome will gain even more market share and other browsers (that previously resisted) are forced to follow and implement it in order not to lose any market share.

Imo, renewable should still be the target, nuclear should be the bridge towards renewable until it’s feasible enough

There’s a bunch of history there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adblock_Plus#Controversies

Seems to be misreporting (Adguard home + ublock origin + FF). With ublock off I get a higher percentage than with it on (93% vs 91%). It’s reporting things as not blocked while they are clearly blocked (all requests show blocked in inspector)

I also have a different address for every account I have, I’m currently using cloudflare to forward everything to my gmail address, using SMPT in gmail I’m also able to send from those addresses in case I need it.

Downside is I need to enter SMTP for each e-mail address I want to send from, but i really only ever send from info@. Spam wise there’s no issue if you’ve set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC records properly.

AI can write better articles at this point

It is running 24/7 yes, temps are stable and only really goes up when I’m home and actively doing things that would make it go up (like watching jellyfin). It runs with the lid closed and screen off.

You can always use one of those laptop stands with coolers underneath, or even without coolers, just having it lifted may improve airflow too. I did monitor the temps the first few days but it really doesn’t seem to be an issue, CPU temps at the moment is around 50 C, GPU is disabled as it’s old and can’t even be used to transcode anything.

You can always just use your laptop to try it out, see where it goes and then decide to spend money on something better and more suited to your needs.

A little note on that: Amazon SES free tier is going to change starting tomorrow though. It changed from free to free for 12 months (with adjusted limits), see https://devclass.com/2023/06/23/aws-to-remove-62000-message-simple-email-service-always-free-tier-from-august-2023/

For comparison, I’m running about a hundred containers on a 9 year old laptop easily (i7 4700 HQ with 16GB ram), I’m sure I can run many more

You could turn off logins completely and put something like Authentik in front of it, handle logins through there instead.

You’ll love the new EU law that forces batteries to be easily removable and replaceable by the end user (by 2027).

I’ve been using it for a couple days, set it up with Sonarr/Radarr but been getting downloads that stay stuck at 99% and more that just don’t start. Though I must say it’s often with older, maybe much less popular content (been downloading older seasons of Gold Rush). With newer stuff I’ve been getting very good results though.

I feel disgusted for looking up to this dude about a decade or so ago

UK really seems to want to close themselves off from the world. Sounds like an immense amount of work for something that can never be truly effective, the ones who want to keep their communication secure will always find a way.
