   Neat! I hope this goes far, it'd be great to have a faster/lighterweight Elastcsearch. Something similar I'm really hoping to see is Tantivy in a Postgres extension, so I can stop playing the game of trying to keep my search

    hmmmmm, IIRC I just found this one via DDG. This is the only third-party list I use. From a quick look-around, I just found https://filterlists.com/ though.

    I've never had any issues with it. (At least that I'm aware of - I block lots of stuff by default with uMatrix, so I usually assume breakage is due to that.) In case you're worried that it'll catch incorrect elements via

    Yeah, and I think it actually uses a pretty old (0.x) version of lunr. You could definitely grab data over the network and then feed it into lunr's indexer, you'd just have to do it manually. I'd prefer to do it more like Clo

    Neat! Looks like this generally works by building a static index and publishing it to IPFS [1], then having some client-side JS do a lookup in the index, and getting a metadata file for each result [2]? I made something kinda similar a whil

    That's how I expect Google to make decisions, not Mozilla. I would like to say that I trust Mozilla to appropriately weigh pros and cons and make unpopular decisions when necessary, but it seems like the entire deliberation process was

    Seems pretty likely that YouTube will switch to EME at some point, doesn't it? Seems like record labels and the like would be demanding it. When and if that happens, I hope PeerTube and other video hosts can take off in the fediverse.

    I really think what we need for this is a new sort of file manager, and it should look more like iTunes or Kodi than Thunar or Dolphin. I always enjoy reading this post about tag-based file organization, which feels like it would be a great

    Try uMatrix! That's almost exactly what it does. Further, it lets you control requests by type, like stylesheets, images, scripts, XHRs, iframes, etc. Its original name was HTTP Switchboard, which I thought was a great descriptor for w

    At the very least, I think it's pretty safe to assume that in 20 years the Internet Archive will still be around and we'll be able to look at 20 year old HN threads there.
