The project was part of the company’s In-App Action Panel (IAPP) program, which used a technique for “intercepting and decrypting” encrypted app traffic from users of Snapchat, and later from users of YouTube and Amazon, the consumers’ lawyers wrote in the document.
Looks like they didn't decrypt anything, just used MitM spyware.
Traffic take longer? You're talking about milliseconds. Also Wake On Lan has been baked into BIOS's and Network cards for years so there's no need to waste power. Is the issue that you just don't have a PC? Regardless, if this is the path you want to take I think it's a cool learning experience and I'm interested in seeing how it turns out.
I love planted tanks. It's like gardening and fish keeping in one. I have been keeping them for 5 years now. It becomes an addiction and before you know it you have way too many tanks. I tell everyone that if you're going to get into freshwater aquariums, there's no reason not to plant your tank. The upsides are hard to beat. Clean water all the time, no water changes, and much healthier livestock.
My cat Buster had 6 teeth removed 2 weeks ago due to something called feline tooth resorption. This is him the day I picked him up from surgery. He's doing better now and can eat his favorite hard food again.
It notes that Bluesky users will be able to participate in the global conversation, instead of the one dictated by the community they join, as aspects of how your experience differs from others is in your control thanks to other features, like custom feeds and composable moderation. The latter means moderation is not tied to your server. While server operators can set rules around the content they host, communities can use blocklists and soon, independent moderation services, to introduce additional layers of moderation. That means there’s not as much pressure on server operaters to block other servers (defederate) because of the content they host, since users will have their own tools to manage their moderation preferences.
If you can get away with a non North American number, most countries will give you a SIM for free or next to nothing and you pay only once for pre-paid service, no monthly fee.
I don't think I would ever be in favor of activity that leads to further centralization. I don't disagree that fragmentation can make things somewhat confusing for new users, but there are some advantages as well. I like to post to smaller communities for the most part rather than the larger ml and world domains. The responses are more focused on the topic at hand, the communities are usually less hostile and hive-minded, and having all discussions on a just a few big servers leads to a the problem of having all of your eggs in one basket (ie. discussions and accounts disappearing when these servers can't maintain server costs, the admins move on to other projects, or just poor maintenance practices.) To me it is worth the effort to cross-post and seek out other communities to find interesting content.
I guess I don't understand what is supposed to be serving the webapp to your client (browser) then without something like nginx or apache. I run searxng as well but I wouldn't be able to access it, even on localhost, without a web server.
