"We're Google. Here is our app that you never use and never will because you're paying for one of competitors. Did we mention it comes with preinstalled and cannot be removed?" This is getting ridiculous. Back in the day

I think AdGuard's AdGuard Home, Pi-Hole competitor, does this. I've been following it for a while but haven't had the chance to replace my Pi-Hole installation yet.

All these replies saying ansible is the better tool. Highly disagree. Ansible is too procedural. "do this if that otherwise something else. Then that. Then this other thing". This is very much prone to human error. As a platform e

Great website. Quick note - your site doesn't functions without javascript. Having enabled it and trawled through it I see no reason to require js to be enabled. Adding a non-js fallback would be great.

But the point it protects against is if a website a password belongs to is compromised. If your password manager is compromised, then yes, it is game over. But by that logic, if your password manager and your otp manager is compromised (whi

Is there a reason people don't use their password manager for OTP? In my case I'm using 1Password, which supports OTP but I know most other password managers support it too including clients for Keepass. I guess there is the issue

Just a quick correction, Google doesn't sell your data. They sell targetted ads, that is, they promise advertisers that their ads will reach whoever they require targetting.

Sure I'll put in my command into a tool that doesn't make it clear that it's using an api to do what it does. Why can't this all be done locally and the options found through manpages?

Last year they made over $81 billion in revenue and a net income of over $15 billion. This is yet another case of "the cost of doing business" to them. Just over than 2% of their net income, which mind you, they can write that off

Google doesn't use webkit any more if that's what you're referring to. But absolutely Google doesn't believe that. Even if the Chromium team truly believed in privacy (and their track record suggests otherwise), there st

Disagree, you can find plenty of places in zone 2 that are fairly affordable, especially for software engineers. If you're willing to share with strangers (as is so often the case these days), it's even cheaper. Bear in mind that

Is there a reason no one has gone down the reinplementation route? It seems that since no one is willing (or able to) write OCaml, the next best thing is a completely new decentralised product, or simply rewriting it. I personally feel like

I've known of a service that actually provides APIs. I cannot remember what it is called but such services exist for hotels and holidays too. Iirc I stumbled upon one of the flight tracking services by pure chance. Having said that, I

AdBlock Plus is different from AdBlock. AdBlock is owned by an unknown entity and the source has been based on ABP since 2016. ABP is owned by Eyeo Gmbh (which I think was founded by the original developers of ABP).
