I’d like you to meet my wife so I sound more sane in comparison lol.

Jokes aside, why would these random people target you, unless you’ve revealed some interesting details about wealth or inheritance or something? I mean yeah they could randomly target you, but odds are of those 3-4 guys 1 ends up coming after you?? Not likely.

Doesn’t hurt to obscure your info, but I think you’d be fine in the long run.

Personally I don’t know anyone whose life was destroyed by some guy in the internet tricking them. Maybe a few older people falling for gifting a few hundred bucks but that’s it. Maybe a cryptolocker too, but again, less of a big deal.

God, it’s not hard to read an article instead of speculate in the comments.

“The new built in blocker will use Brave’s adblock library and run in Waterfox’s main browser process rather than as an extension. Kontos says this should make adblocking faster, more tightly integrated, and less dependent on extension APIs or constant upstream updates.”

He also said Brave’s library was chosen partly because its MPL 2.0 license is a better fit for Waterfox, while deeper integration with a blocker like uBlock Origin would be more complicated because of its GPLv3 license.

Waterfox will still make one exception by default by allowing text ads on its default search partner page, currently Startpage, as a way to support the browser financially. The team clarified that this is Waterfox’s own revenue decision and not something inherited from Brave’s adblocking technology. Users who want stricter blocking will be able to disable all ads with a single setting, while people who already use third party blockers can keep using them as usual.

This, to me, is fine, because I change the default regardless. There’s nothing stopping anyone else from doing the same. Sure, this could potentially open the door for additional “greedy” decisions down the road, but let’s not jump to conclusions.

Oh nice, I guess I didn’t notice. I’ll check that out, it may have switched automatically with an update.

Why would anyone care about Gemini or other AI here? I mean, i get this is the tech Space, but AI=bad.

I do like vertical tabs too… But Firefox has a plugin for that so I’ve been using Firefox the last year or so and rarely have an issue.

To me, “Influencers” are fucking terrible at “acting”, they’re desperate for attention and validation, and have little viable skills with anything online. They’re all obnoxious, loud, and overly energetic like in a state of panic trying to sell their souls for more views for ad revenue and sponsors.

If they’re the next to be picked for lead-or even supporting acting roles, I’m out. I won’t touch another Hollywood movie again, which says a lot, bc I own about 5k DVDs, Blu rays, UHD BD, and yes, even several dozen in 3D…

Nice, I’ll check it out anyway

I mean, Yunohost (why you no host) pretty much covers all of the above.

I put up Traccar, Zoraxy, Immich, and 1 other in a few days being completely new to all these apps.

I haven’t run 16GB RAM SINCE MY 2012 Win8/Ubuntu PC. 3rd gen i7 w DDR3 1600MHz lol.

Now on 64GB 5600MHz and 12th gen i9. No upgrades any time soon.

Negligible. It runs 24/7, but I’ve got a lot of power running anyway with 4 “servers” and various animals (think reptile heat lights @100w-250w each), using about 1500kWh/month. I have 28x solar panels on the roof so my cost is quite low.

2 of my 4 servers are low power mini PCs, 1 is my old 36-bay SAS I seldom use for testing, my new build is a 24x bay SAS I use for my NAS, arrs stack, and media server.

The Matrix and The Terminator. Skynet is the start of what eventually becomes the machines winning, and enslaving humanity! It’s sort of a sequel storyline to Skynet and prequel to how the Matrix got started early on.

I know in Reloaded, Neo talks to the architect and he explains how early versions are rejected for being too perfect, so the machines had some trial and error. The T800s and other cybernetic organisms evolved into what are now the agents where physical terminators were too resource costly and needed to be virtualized for this new dream world.

So, funny you say that. We’re not a big company, we had a very old 100Mbs connection up into a few years ago, and with TBs of data we could never fully backup anything offsite. Sooo many other services trying to eat up bandwidth, it was a joke. I installed a couple Piholes and pointed AD DNS to them and adblocking made such a difference while browsing!! Surprisingly, Pi 3B handled 1m queries in 24 hr periods without breaking a sweat!

Edge and Chrome at very GPO friendly to lock stuff down for businesses. I do the same thing on purpose for security. Funnily enough I’ve got a couple users who hate big brother type stuff, very anti gov, conspiracy guys. I told them to get of Google and was stopped short to blab on about how Chrome is the best, etc. Fudds… Gave them a nice updated education on corporate overreach and they use Firefox and Ecosia now lol.

I like to have options, and I tend to send best practice emails out with read receipts cuz I know most of them don’t know how to ignore them. 🤓

Hah, you don’t. We’re an org behind the times, modernizing a bunch but still very behind! Running an old ERP & WMS, no WFH, very old school mentality with everything printed on paper, communications very phone reliant, and Teams mostly sits there untouched by 90% of the org.

I’ve done well to update and modernize, but people are very set in their ways. Most people don’t get why i do what I do, but I know its for the best!

Who forces you to use Chrome? I block Chrome at our org, lock down Edge pretty well with GPOs, and run Firefox as the 2nd browser of choice. I monitor/track as little as possible.

I would love to see some hybrid cars that run gas get converted to propane (like the rental trucks at Lowe’s) so you’re now even cleaner and less dependent on fossil fuels (though still reliant on natural gas).

I would imagine running a Chevy Volt-like vehicle where the gas engine functioned more like a generator, running propane, would get pretty far on a small LPG cylinder!

Lithium hadn’t really had catastrophic failures itself, I’m speaking more fake from car accidents. Tesla’s awfully inaccurate autopilot or self driving or whatever, and when those cells are damaged, they’re dangerous.

Ice engines are mostly explosive in movies lol. I think Mythbusters or some from the show shot at gas tanks that were full and partially filled hoping to ignite.

I agree on all the energy stuff, were stuck with corporate interests ruining the environment so they can have even more profit!

Data centers are absolutely consuming a bunch of power and we’re paying for it, I agree!! California suffered brown outs from everyone charging during there day at work or at night. Idk of that’s been corrected, but that’s also why Trump relaxed coal and oil regulations so we could get enough power-though I hear some data centers are using jet engine turbines to supplement them smh.

So while batteries can be affordable, lithium is too dangerous, and the technology hasn’t quite got to the point for widespread adoption, my opinion. Solid state and sodium ion are better technologies just around the corner that offer loner range, faster charging, and safer in accidents.

The grid… Cannot sustain in the US.

Haha, as I wake up and wipe the sleep crust from my eyes, I thought I was still dreaming (as in asleep). But your comment makes sense! Time to be skeptical all day!
