- Comment on I'm making a guide to Pocket alternatives: getoffpocket.com 8 hours ago:
Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.
If you’re already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you’re not bookmarking constantly.
If you’re doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).
I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced

Math remembers to carry the units for kilowatt hours.
That said, I’d pay $1.11/mo just to never have to deal with a cable on my desk again.

- Comment on Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica 1 day ago:
Yes and no, I’ve treated the symptoms, but not the problem. All it takes is a trillion dollar company buying a new domain every once in a while to foil uBlock, and now that it’s more known, anyone can create an an app that opens ports and listens for trackers.
Would love it if Firefox would let me block all requests to localhost.
- Comment on Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers - Ars Technica 1 day ago:
We found that browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Edge are susceptible to this form of browsing history leakage in both default and private browsing modes. Brave browser was unaffected by this issue due to their blocklist and the blocking of requests to the localhost; and DuckDuckGo was only minimally affected due to missing domains in their blocklist.
Aside from having uBlock Origin and not having any Meta/Yandex apps installed, anyone aware of additional Firefox settings that could help shut this nonsense down?
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 1 day ago:
But I thought Edge was so crucial for the system to function it can’t be removed? That’s what MS told me at least, and I definitely trust them

- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews. 1 week ago:
Because I’m buying the $8 option from a company called “XYBENOZ”. Without reading the reviews I already know there’s a 56% chance of failure, but I’m willing to take that risk because then it’s Amazon’s problem.

the fact that it suggests (pushes) the idea each time I use the website is just maddening
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this suggestion. IDK where I clicked “STFU” but I only ever remember seeing something about it once.

Never used pocket, how does this differ from just having a bookmarks folder called “stuff to read while you’re taking a shit”?

- Comment on noyb sends Meta 'cease and desist' letter over AI training. European Class Action as potential next step 2 weeks ago:
CA has some strong privacy protections and a good chunk of the country’s population. IANAL but if I were to hope for a similar lawsuit it would come from CA state court.
- Comment on Why are solar panels and batteries from China so cheap: It's more to do with automation and state-of-the art manufacturing processes than cheap labour. 2 weeks ago:
I believe this to an extent, but I think they’re underplaying the cost of labor.
From personal experience, purchasing several MW of panels in an international market with limited supply chain regulation, there was a ~75% markup to procure panels with a traceable supply chain - it was unconfirmed but assumed the cheaper alternative came from Xinjiang.
You can maybe attribute some of that to just simple supply/demand. There’s much more international demand, especially from wealthier countries like the US, for panels that are of known origin. But that said, I think there’s a not insignificant % of that cost uplift that is labor.
- Comment on Avoiding AI is hard – but our freedom to opt out must be protected 3 weeks ago:
If AI is going to be crammed down our throats can we at least be able to hold it (aka the companies pushing it) liable for providing blatantly false information? At least then they’d have incentive to provide accurate information instead of just authoritative information.
- Comment on What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi? 3 weeks ago:
The VPN speeds will be throttled pretty substantially, and low ram will result in some instability seeding, but it should run. Hood thing about torrents is they’re built for unreliable.
I’ve run a torrent box like described on pretty much every pi generation, and the pi4 was the first one where VPN speed was no longer the bottleneck.
