Here’s hoping for a 2023 where they finally figure out how to get containers to work on Firefox for iOS. The other features are nice - but the fact that there isn’t any of the weird auto-login stuff that Chrome does between browsers and web

This was me. At first it was just like “Hey, prefix is C-b instead of a C-a, so it messes with less” (i.e readline, emacs), then I started to understand the windowing better and it feels a bit more natural with modern terminal emulators. An

You shouldn’t trust your upstream provider if you use a major ISP. Most collect data not only from their own DNS servers but also unencrypted traffic over port 53 and then sell that data. Using NextDNS allows you to use encrypted DNS upstre

Hasn’t happened to me recently, probably about 16 months since the last time it claimed everything needed to be reset. Fortunately, I found I can put the Time Machine archive on btrfs and use snapshotting to roll back a day when this happe

Feast, for the most part, is a feature store that serves up features to machine learning models for inference or training. PostgresML is closer to Big Query ML. They provide the framework to building, deployment, and inference of models fro

That’s about the only use case I use. Helpful for cooking, when working with kids and you want them to know you set the timer, or you’ve crawled into bed and are barely conscious enough to realize you didn’t set an alarm.

Probably because Europe is facing toward the sun at that time. There’s always going to be part of the planet that can’t see it. This one covers much of the Americas and East Asia.

I keep both on my network running on two different raspberry pis. AdGuard Home is a lot cleaner to use. In particular it makes it much easier to control routing for queries by domain and supports forwarding over DNS over TLS, DoH, and DoQ n

After reading that I now have a sudden craving for 4DOS and 4OS2. I was young at the time and had “access” to a lot of amazing software packages that I’m still learning how amazing they were. Gotta wonder how things would be different if I

Maybe. I’m rocking a 2017 iPad Pro with LTE as my “second” device. After five years the keyboard is getting increasingly flunky - the fabric on the keys are starting to wear off and it just always looks a little dirty. I’m on my second case

Sorry about being stuck on Windows 10, but Windows 11 has WSLg[0], which gives you a reasonable X server out of the box. I liked X410, but WSLg is seamless. When combined with no fuss CUDA support and great docker integration, WSL2 on Wind

An increasing number of devices ship with hard coded DNS servers - usually 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. You need more than PiHole in those situations as you also need to transparently redirect DNS to PiHole/AdGuard Home. But that’s not enough

Features like this really creep me out - even if they are appropriately scoped or contained in a clever i frame. Thankfully, on Firefox you can put everything that legitimately needs your google account information into a container and have

That’s not that terrible idea - it removes some of the stigma and potentially helps ensure the program provides value rather than just being a checkbox on the way to termination.

Funny thing I look at Tesla and my system and I’m seeing that my all in price for my panels + 3 powerwalls in 2020 is within 10% of what people in my town talk about paying for panels today. A lot of that cost gets eaten by installation and

As with most things in the US, it depends on where you live. I’ve paid anywhere from a flat rate of a couple hundred bucks to 2%. It’s generally called a real estate transfer tax. Note: this is different than points, general property tax, a

I’m rocking a bit newer machine - but still eight years old. Glad I got it with maxxed out RAM and over the years I upgraded to a larger SSD. Had to replace the battery (it was bulging bad) and a few keys - but those costs were a fraction o

I had this happen to me at a former large employer. I insisted on removing the agency from our list of approved agencies and was told that if we did that to every agency that did that sort of fraud then we’d have no agencies in our budget r

I’ve been using Zotero since I was in grad school and at one point wrote large chunks of the BibTeX export. My first papers were added to my library in October 2006. It’s amazing to have a single source of basically every paper I’ve read in

The Euro had two predecessors (kinda) - the European Unit of Account and the European Currency Unit. They weren’t day to day currencies, but they were used for things like cross-border bonds. The EUA was originally defined to be one dollar

For the most part in the United States when people talk about mortgages and mortgage rate, they’re talking about the 30yr fixed rate mortgage. The United States government does a lot to prop up home ownership buy purchasing a lot of these l

This is more of a problem in terms of how people understand their product - which is to say, it’s difficult to understand. Many people have adjustable rate mortgages which have a low initial rate for 1, 3, 5, 7, etc years after which point

That’s basically the same process that Capital One has had for hiring for years. It doesn’t seem like that was tweaked because of the pandemic and remote work.

Facebook, in general, has swung too far on the ML for moderation side. Last year when vaccinations for kids first 12-18 became available I posted “It’s time to stab…er jab the kids”. That got my account locked so hard I needed to contact a

That’s a nice story of personal bias. You survived, so todays kids should too, right? Well, times have changed and the creeps have gotten creepier and more organized. They have more channels, more ways to hide, more ways to collaborate, and

And there’s a natural experiment in New England. Connecticut has suspended it’s gas tax until the end of the year - that’s $0.25/gal less in fuel costs. Rhode Island and Massachusetts have not. In April when this first happened, gas pr

The newest version of Firefox goes a long way to prevent this with Total Cookie Protection[0]. You’re basically left with fingerprinting as all cookies are site specific - even third party cookies. Combine that with with a DNS that does cna

The criteria are interesting. When you’re hopping around New England it will show Bridgeport, CT and Taunton, MA which don’t have commercial service and they’re trying to shut down, while leaving off Martha’s Vineyard, MA and Worcester, MA
