All Chromium and Firefox-based browsers are tainted by association. The most promising options are Ladybrid, forked from the SerenityOS browser, but it's a long wait to 2026, and Servo-based browsers like Verso: https://lady

Conversely, httrack was the only tool that could archive the JS-heavy microsite my realtor made to sell our old house. The command-line interface is horrendous, but it does handle rewriting complex sites better than wget does.

The Pixels' only redeeming quality is that they run GrapheneOS. Why you would run anything else on them eludes me.

Global Privacy Control, basically a legally binding Do-Not-Track header, is already the law in California, I don’t understand why the EU is dragging its feet on making it mandatory to comply with.

The second. The only way untrusted devices connect is to IP addresses that were resolved by my DNS servers so I know what traffic is happening on my network. My DNS servers handle their own encryption via WireGuard to bypass ISP snooping,

I already redirect DNS queries to my own DNS servers running unbound, and block UDP and TCP ports 25 from machines other than these from going out on the Internet. This will force machines misconfigured with 8.8.8.8 as default resolver (cou

I've had other HPs (28C, 48SX, 48GX, 33S, 35S, 49G, 50G, Prime) but the 15C is the one I keep returning to, as anything more powerful really should be handled on a computer CAS like Mathics or Matlab-like environment like Octave instea

The original Voyager line used silicon-on-sapphire chips, which are extremely energy efficient. My 1987 vintage HP-15C is only on its third set of batteries. When they changed to a conventional CMOS process and emulated the original CPU on

Serious EAA (electronically assisted astronomy) users would probably get something like a Rowe-Ackerman-Schmidt Astrograph from Celestron with a ZWO camera, which isn’t even that expensive by astronomy standards, but I’d say the Nikon partn
