I agree with the article, and want to add on that the browser network debugging tools are a pain to use with GraphQL (every request to /api/graphql, can't even quickly filter by endpoint name). I landed instead on OpenAPI, wh

I wonder if there are any duckduckgo/other search engine devs here to answer; why not keep a limited own index? Like, wikipedia, stack overflow, build up a cache of own-scraped sites for the top hits to popular search queries? Am a bei

They use the `--tmpfs` flag when calling `docker run`. More info: https://docs.docker.com/storage/tmpfs/ Pretty neat, I didn't know about it before.

You can get/buy a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. Annoying that there isn't a 3.5mm port on the phone itself but in the grand scheme of things not a huge inconvenience & life goes on. (I have a Fairphone 4)

Is Bing not viable? It looks pretty ok to me. DuckDuckGo and Ecosia also lean pretty heavily on Bing and they work fine. If you know how to change your default search engine (and want to), you can pretty easily be Google-search-free nowaday

A few things to note: - it is quite common to sub-let ("andrahandsuthyring"/"renting in second-hand") where you rent from another renter (who in turn has the "first hand" contract with the landlord). This

I get your point. But on the other hand you can look at GDPR and see after it that California passed the CCPA, Canada passed their own PIPEDA data privacy act, etc, so there is some precedent for other jurisdictions passing similar laws in

More subtle; the burglar could just park up and go off for a few hours and gather the data they need - no need for a suspicious camera pointing out of the car to monitor patterns. If the burglar only takes a 30 second look before breaking i
