What do you think is running the existing proxy services? There are many open source proxy tools that can do the job fine, not to mention the even simpler openssh or OpenVPN.

From the base system, they exclude any proprietary code & binary blobs. There are many 3rd party packages in ports.

Unfortunately FreeBSD doesn't even have working sleep support, and hardly even a nod to power saving, whereas OpenBSD supports this automatically on all the laptops I've tested it with. Makes no sense that the more niche, security

No, install uBlock Origin - the one operated by the original developer.

Uh, they still haven't added decent screens to the classic X/T thinkpad models. A 16:9 screen is bad enough, but looks even worse when the laptop's frame is 16:10. Also, still offering 1366x768 TN screens is really embarrassi

I'd expect similarly awful results for any lossy -> lossy transcoding. Don't ever do that. If you didn't rip CDs to lossless or buy lossless, you are stuck with the format you've got.

CLick on the uBlock Origin options tab and you will find a list of all the 3rd party filter lists in use ( & available by default). Most of these include a link to the source site.

Yes, they have made a user-hostile service, that everyone I know avoids in favour of getting the content via another (ad-free) route. Good one.

From my usage: * There is no supported upgrade path from stable release to stable release. * If you want regular updates to to packages, you need to be running current. * It has much better driver and power management support than FreeBSD,

There's a very great difference between using BSD on the desktop vs. using it on a server. FreeBSD is years behind Linux in desktop support in terms of GPU drivers (still no haswell graphics support), desktop environment slickness and

Bullshit! This might be true if they only censored for malware, but at present anyone on Android who wants an ad-blocker, or software to interface with various torrent / media servers now has to resort to off-store apps which aren&#x27

Please stop this bizarre insistence that OS X = BSD. Different kernel, radically different OS overall, not open sourced. Still shares some userland, but this is irrelevant. For a true picture, look at how well their open sourced Darwin OS p

This gives the worrying possibiltiy that Apple can benefit from an open source Clang and LLVM now, and in future can make thecomponents required to compile code to their platforms (mainly thinking iOS) proprietary. They're already movi

Worth noting though that if you use the release, you get no updates, security or otherwise, till the next release in 6 months. And using -stable (release + patches) is a hassle of manually applying patches and re-compiling - no binary updat

Yes, this is an un-useable chunk of open source that is not widely used, not compatible with normal hardware, and does not even build. To quote another user: "The version of WebKit used on iOS is actually not open source and forkable;

Huh, 5.8 hasn't been released? What you mean is that snapshots / current are now using that version number.

Looks good, now they need a way to hide the existing tabs (and perhaps the addressbar too) and we can move to a nice slick side-tabs extension for Chrome.

FWIW, I've done a ~20 hour fast for the last few months. Eating in a 4 hour window from 6pm to 10pm approx. This diet isn't practical if you're doing any serious exercise, either in the morning, or late evening (during after

The Spotify / Apple streaming payment model isn't even as fair as that: The revenue from all users is pooled, and then divided per listen rather than per user/artist etc. So this'd be like splitting the app store sub rev

All the major ad blocking extensions work by applying various filter lists, all separately maintained. They may choose to enable different lists by default (uBlock turns on more than ABP for sure), but they can be configured in a few second

Agree, it's a pleasure to use a site that isn't burdened by tons of ads, tracking scripts, and tries to re-implement scrolling (badly) if you visit from a mobile device. See theverge.com for an example of a site that doesn't

In what way do you think paywalled music is working? Artists are getting screwed, while a few middlemen and labels are still making decent money. The whole payment model, forced by the major labels, absolutely fucks smaller artists over - m

Also, there's no way to install firmware updates released by apple unless you're running OS X on the hardware - though you can keep a crappy USB drive around to boot from to accomplish this OK.

This 1000x. iPlayer is lauded, and generally works well, but it has incredibly restrictive, short term availability of content entirely paid for by taxpayers. It is unclear how anyone in the UK can benefit from TV programmes removed from th
