I did not catch on the Figma AI news, but now I can't wait for every website and mobile app to look the same 🙃

BlackEco , 7 days ago to Technology in Bill Gates says not to worry about AI's energy draw

Ah yes, classic tech solutionism.

"No need to be frugal, the tech will evolve and fix the causes of climate change!"

We need a solution right now, not in a decade, dumb ass. So frugality is the answer.

Not that surprising unfortunately :/

BlackEco , 1 month ago to Selfhosted in Which link/bookmark manger do you prefer, and why?

I really like Readeck, it is very polished and the fact that it copies links content is very useful when saving Medium blog posts (and generally to make sure that I don't lose the content if the linked page is ever removed)

BlackEco OP , 1 month ago to Technology in Google just updated its algorithm. The Internet will never be the same

Actually Google has been forced to offer choices on Android in the EU, but for existing devices the prompt only consists of a permanent notification that you can easily ignore: my partner has been ignoring it for the past month.

BlackEco , 2 months ago to Technology in Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling

Yeah, modern Windows and HDDs don't mix well. I refurbished multiple laptops and each time just throwing in a cheap SSD (and cleaning the cooler + sometimes reapplying thermal paste) would breathe new life into them.

BlackEco , 2 months ago to Technology in Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling

I waited until the last day of support to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10, I plan on doing the same with Windows 10.

With Windows 10 and 11 Microsoft has been gradually removing control from the user's hands and I'm still miffed about that.

Is it just me or this article is riddled with typos and gramatical errors?

BlackEco , 2 months ago to Technology in Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton

Right, now I remember reading about that, I forgot.

BlackEco , 2 months ago to Technology in Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton

Yes, you need a passkey per service, so you would quickly end up with your 25 slots full.

BlackEco , 2 months ago to Technology in Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton

The issue is that most of them are limited in the amount of passkeys they can manage.

In the case of the Yubikey 5

Currently, YubiKeys can store a maximum of 25 passkeys.

BlackEco , 3 months ago to Technology in VPN Router + Pihole

Yeah, I have a Docker Compose example. I left out the SSL certificate generation out of it because users can piggy-back on Nginx Proxy Manager ou Caddy to handle it for them.

BlackEco , 3 months ago to Technology in VPN Router + Pihole

I personally went for PiHole + DNS-over-TLS / DNS-over-HTTPS in order to use PiHole on my phone while outside my home. It doesn't require to constantly have a VPN active, which saves a bit of battery life. Its only drawbacks are that it requires a domain name for DNS-over-HTTPS, a way to route traffic to your server and additional setup and software (Dnsproxy and Certbot)

BlackEco OP , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in PSA: update your DNS resolvers (PiHole, unbound, Bind9, dsnmasq) to patch DNSSEC vulnerability

If you use a third-party's DNS server (such as Cloudflare, Quad9 or Google) as your upstream DNS server, you only have to update PiHole.

If you have set up your own upstream DNS server using a DNS resolver like unbound or Bind9, update it as well as your PiHole.

BlackEco OP , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in PSA: update your DNS resolvers (PiHole, unbound, Bind9, dsnmasq) to patch DNSSEC vulnerability

I struggle to find if it uses DNSSEC or even a change log. If it does, contact the maintainer and disable DNSSEC (if you can) until a fix is released.
