   Well, sure - you can still send some signals to see ads that are relevant to the _content_ as opposed to the _viewer_. Example: you're seeing an article about devops and you get an ad about AWS instead of an ad that has followed you ar

   I wouldn't say "ethical", but even Google's pubads can do non-tracking. For pubads, look into "setCookieOptions(1)" and "setRequestNonPersonalizedAds(1)" for a good start on the matter. It _can_ be do

   One can include ads and analytics without consent being granted - they're "just" restricted to a method of delivering ads and performing analytics which don't track the user. IANAL, mind you - but that's how we impl

   I like it because it has many toggles, some of which are "cute". By default, it suggests a date/time for today on "5/1", and there doesn't seem to be a toggle for that. In most of the world, that's no

   I've (admittedly, conceptual only) a couple problem with this approach I'd love to hear folks' thoughts about, with regards to "touch-to-use". 1. I still have a need to "for s in $list_of_servers; ssh -A $s &#x

   I don't. Each agent gets one key, and that key alone. That's what helps. https://github.com/ccontavalli/ssh-ident is what I use to manage those agents - one agent per key.

   If a bad guy gets root on one server you're currently connected via ssh with, and forwarding said key via, they can also access (unless otherwise firewalled) all systems that ssh key grants them access to. See also: https://

   I need to clean a few things up before being able to do so, chief among them my initial rookie mistake to name the users table "user", which in retrospect wasn't a good idea when moving the thing to Postgres - so while I&#x27

   A while back (couple years) I started tracking how much coffee I drank, and (roughly) when. I created a simple Mojolicious webapp, putting data on a SQLite database. I later expanded it to accept/use an "API key" with which I

    Do you find debian testing to be stable enough compared to debian stable, for servers? For similar reasons (stability), I always go for the current stable (although I've a couple machines on oldoldstable, because it takes a while to up

    If all scrapers did what you did, I'd curse a lot less at $work. Kudos for that. Re 2 and 3: do you parse/respect the "Crawl-delay" robots.txt directive, and do you ensure that works properly across your fleet of crawler

    They're the smooth (lisce) penne, not the furrowed (rigate) variety. "nobody" uses those! At the start of the quarantine, when Italians went and stripped shops bare of goods despite all warnings about the supply chain being i

    Vim's power doesn't come from using single-letter commands to do things but, rather, in the language-like (action, verb, noun) expressions the whole ecosystem enables: "daw" to delete a word, "cit" to replace t

    The article mentions nginx returning 502 when a backend is down during a deploy. This a problem in the cases where restarting the backend isn't atomic. If the backend is able to perform a "reload" (vs. a slower stop/star

    If you want to run docker without sudo, you can use podman. Root inside a podman container is your own user id on the host machine.

    My pi is connected directly to the router via ethernet, and the bandwidth available to my home connection isn't enough to saturate it "unfortunately" (~95/20) so this isn't massively a problem for me. YMMV.

    Indeed, my own raspberry pi was returning weird results with the python-based one; I switched to this one and it is more consistent. I had to add an "--output json" option to it to not have to redo all my tooling around tracking t
