I think DNS-based blocking will eventually be less effective over time. It shouldn't be difficult to host ads on the main domain, modern distributed reverse proxies are very fast. So they will probably soon just stop using ad-only doma

I mainly use Kiwi browser on Android which is Chromium fork with full extension support and DevTools. It is not update very often and I can feel that they are in need of more maintainers but it still works best for me. I stopped using Firef

That's why Linux needs more love. I find it sad that many people use Docker, but the majority of them run Linux in a VM inside an expensive proprietary platform to do so, sometimes without even realizing it. Meanwhile, the Linux deskto

NixOS - it either works and you have a new generation, or it doesn't work and you keep the same state. If the new generation has some problems, you can switch to the previous one via a single command or select the previous one from the

I had a similarly great experience with Arch but sometimes the system upgrade would mess up libraries required for the screen locker and I had to use loginctl unlock. I also didn't like that every system upgrade would make a lot of AUR

How would you prove the account is sending spam? By sending them screenshots? Will they believe you? This could be used to ban a neighbor I don't like. Or does Apple spy all conversations so they can check themselves? :P

I am using Sony Xperia 5 II and I am quite happy with it. It is not that small but it's acceptable for me: 68 x 158 millimeters (2.68 x 6.22 in). And it also features a headphone jack! :P

I can see it is a very simple and easy way to restrict stuff but it is also very basic (allow or deny file write ops anywhere). There is AppArmor which is much more flexible and it is not as complicated and annoying to use as Selinux. Disab

Yes. Browsers should be required to show a cookie settings dialog once and then send the selected answer to all websites in a header. And websites should be required to read the header and behave according to it. The problem would be solved
