  • Obligatory pihole doesn't block anything if they use their own dns. You can probably force all port 53 traffic through pihole if you have a decent router though.

  • My cat had something similar and it turned out she was allergic to fleas. She didn't even actually had fleas, just gotten bitten by a couple from neighbor cats and it took weeks to make it less itchy. A cortisone shot of like 15 bucks was all she needed. And regular flea drops.

  • Yeah, that's not good, people. Take her to the vet please.

  • All cheap cars are made ugly on purpose to make the expensive models more attractive to buy.

  • The "giant" battery should be at least 10x bigger to call it "medium sized".

  • Nature doesn't have a reason to do things. There's no 'why' in anything, other than 'the laws of physics make it do so'.

  • I think that bottom image is when you press the more information button (3 dots). It's the same with light dimmers and thermostats, you get more info and a different card.

    I wish that style was also available just in the dashboard and not hidden behind buttons.

  • But they offer a new API. Any disadvantages with the new one?

  • I'm daily driving Linux for years now and I don't really see what you can't do with linux unless you want some of the few Microsoft or Mac specific software that doesn't run in wine or so.

  • I didn't see anyone else say this, but 7200 rpm disks are way louder than 5400. Where my server is it would be annoying, but if it's in a closed room somewhere you'll be fine.

    Also, these drives are probably not made to run 24/7/365. First 1 or 2 years or so it will probably be fine, but after you can expect some sudden dead drives.

  • It's a little worse than that. Microsoft copies your password, credentials and all your emails to their server. Future emails then also go through their servers.

    If you have a business this probably constitutes a data leak.

  • Sponsorblock only skips the video. This is about the ads on the webpage.

  • So it will be locally hosted on the phone? I seriously doubt it will be very useful in offline only mode. Even relativity small language models (7B or 13B) struggle on even desktop pc's if you don't have a high end graphics card with 12+ GB of vram. Analyzing can be relatively fast, but generating will be terribly slow, especially images.

    Edit: So after some reading, the snapdragon gen 3 has some impressive specs, but can someone explain how a phone can generate fast ai content while a PC needs let's say 24GB's of vram? I get the phone has an ai-specialized chip, but you still need to load the model into memory.

  • Once you shave a husky it's very difficult to get the undercoat hair to grow back normally. It will be all clumpy and patchy. And the coat can also help to keep them cool, although I don't know about tropical heat. You'd probably have a sad dog then..

  • It's just a collider, not a fusion reactor. But there are multiple sites where they experiment with it.

  • Never sign in anywhere, or at least with fake, temporary accounts.

    When ordering things send it to a pickup point, not home address. Preferable by fake name, but hopefully they don't want to see your ID.

    Use a privacy focused email server.

    Clear cookies after you leave a website, install an addon to generate a fake random browser fingerprint.

    Never go on any website where you enter your real name and address.

    Be sure to renew your vpn public ip address often. Be sure you can trust your vpn provider.

    Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when going outside your house so they cant track you that way. Stores do that nowadays.

    Avoid being seen by public security camera's.

    Make sure your friends and family don't post and tag your face or name anywhere.

    Hope your cellphone provider, isp, healthcare provider, etc don't sell your personal data.

    Basically impossible to not get tracked at all, but you can get quite far.

  • Eventually they will just use server side authentication that the ads were displayed properly and the best an adblocker can do is draw a grey rectangle over it and mute your tabs sound.

  • I just read about Solidworks. Don't pirate that, it still contacts home and gives them all the info it can pull from your pc: ip, your name, company info, etc. and then they send you a huge bill for the costs of 5 years or so of licensing. Also don't have an illegal copy next to a legal one, because then the legal one will detect the illegal one and send the info. Or open projects created with pirated software with a legal version.

    Of course this data snooping would be illegal in the EU, but outside that I would be careful.
