One of my favorite geography facts, there are no fewer than three villages named “Shit” in Iran.

Same. It’s not even a sexual thing, I just have a shy bladder and physically cannot make myself go if I can feel someone else’s presence nearby, even if it’s not a stranger.

Shhh! That’s too much logic for them, you’re challenging them to reconsider their worldview.

Yep, definitely situational depending on your risk model/tolerance; pretty cool idea nonetheless.

This seems like a cool idea, but also somewhat questionable from a security standpoint? Isn’t distributing the encrypted content alongside the means to decrypt it (i.e. bundling this all in one file which is sent to the client) essentially equivalent to providing physical access to an encrypted drive? Like an attacker with enough time and effort could bypass the encryption.

Seems like a quality product to me.

Yeah I love mine. After having one of the 2017s that suffered from the infamous keyboard issues as my work machine, the apple silicon ones feel like a return to quality engineering. I really hope they don’t screw around with that.

Notably, the MacBook Pro got thicker and heavier with its most recent redesign in 2021. That redesign corresponded with the MacBook Pro’s transition to Apple Silicon, as well as the return of ports such as MagSafe, HDMI, and an SD card slot.

Yeah and the chunky MBP is fucking dope. It has loads of ports, great battery life, doesn’t burn with the intensity of 10,000 suns under load, and feels incredibly sturdy.

Sounds like reddit. They started banning blocks of VPN IPs after they locked down their API (presumably to prevent screen scraping). If you really want to visit, proton stealth protocol is able to get through sometimes, and old.reddit seems to get through all of the time.

Much better to just post an archive link. Lemmy’s not really big enough to garner this kind of attention yet, but copying article text wholesale is a good way to get DMCA claimed and that’s not fair to do to instance admins.

They moved too quickly and the backlash was too intense. They will 100% try to push this shit again as soon as they think the market/userbase might bear it.

Yeah for sure. I’m no expert by any means, but I can talk through what I did.

I used the instructions directly from their code repository: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/#one-step-automated-install (I used option 1, the automated install). I did this on an old RPi2B that I had laying around.

After I set up the pi, I got its MAC address. I used this to set a static IP address in my router settings. This is important to make sure the pi keeps the same IP at all times. Then, also in my router settings, I set the DNS server to be the pi’s static IP address.

After all that was done, I just plugged the pi into a dedicated power supply and rebooted the router.

The ads still appear in the facebook feed but clicking them results in a “this site could not be found” or similar error, is how I understood it to work. I know the PiHole basically makes it so the routes from “whateveradwebsite.com” end up not resolving to an IP address. I’m not sure how FB is serving them; so the text/image content might be coming from an FB server and the link is just an ad URL with a bunch of tracking info on it.

My retired parents live with me. I went ahead and put a PiHole on our home wifi. A day later my mother was literally complaining that she couldn’t click on ads on facebook. I told her those are ads and they track her and she says “well everyone likes to use the internet how they like to use it… can you put it back the old way? I want to look at these shoes”. Can’t fucking win.

Ahh good callout, I didn’t see the filename.

Just a heads up, all of the reference links are busted as far as I can tell.

I’m 99% for markdown you want to do:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet [link text][unique name]

…

[unique name]: website URL

Edit: removed actual URL because my Lemmy client was formatting it for markdown lol

They’re also using this website template: https://webflow.com/templates/html/flux-it-company-website-template

And they didn’t even change the header logo (notice the “flux” logo at the top of the page).

Definitely seems like some guy paid $24 for a template, half bothered to fill it out, and is hoping to collect as many $1000 payments as possible.

I’m pretty happy personally that the community server browser no longer looks like it was made in 1996. The new one actually works on my ultrawide monitor, so I can find servers on my own now. In CSGO, I had to have a friend find a server for us and then I’d just join him.
