What’s crazy is that my small UPS consumes 20W at idle (fully charged; AC connected).

I got my server down to 40W too, and the UPS ate all the savings.

That’s amazing. I’ll have to take your word for it. I only have Firefox on my devices.

Bed goes up. AWS goes down.

For the last bit of a single coffee? That’s a fully organic compound.

You’d probably get the same fine for emptying a drum of used motor oil into it.

Take them one stop further to Hozukyō and throw them into the gorge.

AWS outage. Basically Bezos went down on all his customers.

convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

I didn’t think he made it to trial. Did I miss something?

It’s funny that people get upset about one line in a config file that’s not even selected by default.

Imagine running a website for 20 years, changing absolutely nothing, and one day you’re being targeted because someone else on the other side of the planet changed something at their end.

Tell them to piss off.

They’ll come after your phpbb instance next.

It would be nice if this extended to all text, images, audio and video on news websites. That’s where the real damage is happening.

This sounds like the timestamping servers I’ve used on software builds. There are very few trusted ones and they get quite overloaded.

…and all they really prove is that a file had a certain hash at a certain time.

This is sort of thing I’d hoped TPM would be used for, rather than being used to prevent running an alternative OS.

I didn’t open port 53. It’s DoT.

Even then, it took some extra effort to ensure it didn’t return internal network addresses from the outside.

Not quite pihole. I just slapped Lowe’s adlist on BIND9.

I found this was returning localised results from the other side of the planet, so I kept connecting to slow servers when more local ones were available. I ended up rolling my own from home. The only problem is there’s no way to do access control so I just have to hope not too many find it.

The stepping-stone would be de-googled Android like LineageOS or GrapheneOS. I think Linux is the end-game though.

Good luck with using AI. The training dataset will be polluted, and so will the data of individual accounts.

My TV is signed into YouTube as me, but all my kids use it to watch Minecraft videos. Google probably knows my age by now, and all this will get flagged as typical viewing for a millenial.

frustrated by ads that feel irrelevant

What?

Do they think we have a friend-or-foe system that only shoots down advertisements from adversaries?

An ad is an ad, and should be terminated on sight.

The flag on the Eiffel Tower is already back to a French flag. I took this pic a few hours ago.

I’ve seen the Palestinian flag on a few buildings though.

Yes, git.
