It is. Originally they were a MIPS-like, then they licensed it and became MIPS-compatible, then they extended it into their own instruction set.

breakingcups ,

Why? They offer it as a fallback solution you have to explicitly enable, I can imagine it's not their focus given that the regular connection is encrypted.

breakingcups ,

I mean, both are true? It's not a manipulative headline in my opinion.

breakingcups ,

Depends on why you want to hide your server ip, what's your use case? Is it to protect against DDOS?

Cloudflare is evil, but is there any other party you would trust to share everything with?

breakingcups ,

That's not true. The way their streaming works is basically a Playlist of shorter fragments. They can easily insert their own fragments without obvious visual tells if they don't alter other elements of the page to indicate that an ad is playing.

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware (www.tomshardware.com)

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

breakingcups ,

I'd strongly recommend against that at this point since it will be useless without your Bitlocker key form the laptop's TPM.

breakingcups ,

When did you last check the statistic you just pulled from your ass? Bitlocker is on by default on all machines that support it, which is all pc's and laptops being sold the past few years.

The only exception used to be when you bypass oobe to create a local user account, which also isn't supported anymore.

breakingcups ,

You should really back that up with arguments as I don't think a lot of people would agree with you.

breakingcups ,

Don't worry, it's fine, there's nothing inherently wrong with running stateful workload in a container.

breakingcups ,

I've become very skeptical of anything Kagi, wishing they'd just focused on making one thing good instead of getting distracted by mediocre AI and a browser they can't realistically support while their search is still subpar. Illusions of grandeur.

breakingcups ,

This reads like schizophrenic rambling.

Come on guys, you're all falling for obvious bait.

Corporate astroturfing is the norm

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

breakingcups ,

I have an axe to grind with fakespot. My wife has a tiny business and is one of the most honest and sweet people I know. She would never pay for fake reviews and she wouldn't even have the knowledge on how to do so. Someone (not even us, mind you) posted a link to her product on Reddit and a Fakespot robot instantly called her out for supposedly having suspicious reviews, even though each and every order (and thus each and every review resulting from that) was legit. Her product was then mocked and all it did was give my wife stress.

So yeah, take them with a grain of salt. They are probably pretty good on average but some innocent people get caught in it as collateral damage.

breakingcups ,

The AI is paying more attention to your Slack messages than you are.

breakingcups ,

No, but they approximate it. Which is fine for most use cases the person you're responding to described.

breakingcups ,

Regardless, the lawyers win.

breakingcups ,

I mean, they never stopped, did they? This is what chip binning is and for chips, it makes a lot of economical and even ecological sense (since a chip where the yield is such that only 6/8 cores function properly can be sold as a lower-tier product without issue instead of being scrapped, for example)

It's also what made overclocking so popular.

Unless you and GP are referring to something else, of course. Wouldn't put it past Intel to be nefarious 😅

breakingcups ,

That sounds like a weird argument, these billion-dollar companies know exactly what goes into their models. Give me a reason they wouldn't be able to disclose this if they were compelled.

breakingcups ,

All this really demonstrates is the dangers of drawing conclusions when you don't really have the skills to properly assess the information presented to you.

breakingcups ,

As much as people like to delve into conspiratorial gossiping, making swooping statements about how Google and Amazon work together, there's often much simpler and more reasonable explanations.

For one, you are one of billions of people browsing both these sites today, it's bound to happen to some of you.

But what prompted you to look up the horses stuff? Sometimes it's an article, a social media post (reddit and Lemmy count), a radio segment, etc. That often leads a group of people to look up the same stuff en-masse.

Its also possible that you've visited other sites about horses that have put you in that cohort, where manufacturers have placed their own tracking pixels whose info they can supply to Amazon for targeting.

The reason why a Google / Amazon collaboration seems so unlikely is that they are competing. Not just at large, but in this specific case. Those recommendations you see on Amazon are ads too. People pay for them, and use specific targeting rules to find people to click on them. This is what both Amazon and Google sell, access to specific eyeballs (eg. males in their late 30's who have once shown interest in motorsports). This is their secret sauce. They'd be crazy to allow that information to flow to a competitor with their own ad platform.

I know this goes against the grain here, so feel free to downvote, but keep in mind that conjecture and wildly inaccurate gossip about what these giant companies do often muddies the waters and makes it much harder to attack them on the shady and downright evil stuff that they do do.

breakingcups ,

They seem very confused if they think WooCommerce is a payment gateway, wtf?

breakingcups ,

Just wait until they fire you for not returning to office

breakingcups ,

Is that fucking loss? I stg...

breakingcups ,

I can't believe you're pushing that dumb take in the same comment that you're suggesting the newspapers sell subscriptions. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

The internet has made people feel very entitled to every form of content.

If you feel these organizations and their posts aren't worth your time, stop commenting on them like a smug edgelord without actual solutions.

breakingcups ,

Wow, I wonder about his opinion on stubbing your toe.

breakingcups ,

I don't agree. I like having the control. If I want to sacrifice performance for battery on a trip, why shouldn't I be able to?

Configuring Porkbun DNS for internal IPs

Hey everyone, asking here since I've been trying (and failing) at the numerous guides online. The end goal is so that I can have proper Let's Encrypt certs for my self hosted servers to include VaultWarden (which will not work with self-signed or http) as well as have easy urls for myself and family to use....

breakingcups ,

You're not entirely clear on whether you want these services accessible from the internet or just internally. If the latter, change ACME settings to use DNS challenges instead of HTTP. If the former, recheck your dns records, maybe post them here (censored if you wish).

breakingcups ,

Man, nitter was amazing. Fuck Musk.

breakingcups ,

The method of access they use is fundamentally broken now, because there's no way to get new guest account tokens. So the remaining instances will die out one-by-one as their tokens expire, since there is now no way to renew them.

breakingcups ,

Yeah, it'll be gone in a month

To our advertisers

Firefox beats almost everything else at the moment. Edge managed to make itself worse than chrome. I don't need a browser that detects a credit card form and injects a predatory lending scheme to take advantage of me, no thanks. Not even Google has steeped that low yet.

Tesla agrees to pay $1.5 million to settle California hazardous waste lawsuit (www.reuters.com)

Tesla agrees to pay $1.5 million to settle California hazardous waste lawsuit::Tesla has agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle a lawsuit filed by 25 California counties earlier this week accusing the electric vehicle maker of mishandling hazardous waste at its facilities across the state.

breakingcups ,

When you compare this to the 56 billion pay package Musk almost got if it weren't for some random metal drummer, capitalism is broken.

Amazon could soon be on the hook for safety of third-party products it sells and ships — Government order could classify it as a distributor, potentially exposing it to more legal claims (www.wsj.com)

Amazon could soon be on the hook for safety of third-party products it sells and ships — Government order could classify it as a distributor, potentially exposing it to more legal claims::undefined

breakingcups ,

About fucking time. They've known about the massive problems for years and haven't acted.

breakingcups ,

Note that third party app stores like F-Droid still aren't first-class citizens like Google Play, since every installation still needs to be confirmed by an os popup, they can't automatically install updates on most phones.

breakingcups ,

The thing is, Google Play doesn't have that for each app it updates. If I can choose to trust Google Play, I should be able to choose to trust F-Droid in that regard.

breakingcups ,

Great news, thanks!

Imagine having an obscene amount of money for the rest of your life, and the thing you decide to do is to invent more devices and methods to kill people.

breakingcups ,

It's crazy that they let people re-register nicknames that we're suspended and deleted.
