Hey, does anyone have good alternatives to CloudFlare to host my dns but also still safely self host things?

She might be the only country artist I listen to.

Those people were never ever her fans and were certainly not at her concert.

It’s not a backlash because those people weren’t listening to her to begin with. They just heard she was being kind and decided to act like she suddenly did something terrible. She’s been doing this from the start, nothing changed.

Her lyrics are so unique and entertaining. She feels like the first young contemporary female artist to not constantly write about breakups.

After the COVID trucker protests, the Canadian flag became a red flag.

After the ongoing Albertan separation scandal, the Canadian flag has been redeemed and the Albertan flag is a red flag.

The kids do all the daily cleaning, they still don’t have janitors. The school still has maintenance workers. I’m certain the large machinery would be handled by them and would be considered part of maintenance and not cleaning.

I think you are right in that the schools are smaller, every square inch of urban area feels like 15 minute city material. So everything people need in daily life is within reach, small but numerous. I’m no expert though, just a tourist who visits his Japanese friends and asks lots of questions 😅

In school, they don’t have janitors. Because all the kids do the cleaning it takes the students about 15 minutes a day in school to clean it.

I think it’s the same in Taiwan.

I wonder if Westerners had to clean at school if it affects us on a societal level to clean like that. Or if the larger social pressure isn’t there for people to help like that.

My first time in Japan I was so confused as to why it was so clean yet there were hardly any garbage cans anywhere. You had to return your garbage to the vendor you bought your food from, and not stray far from them, or bring it home. There was the rare garbage can.

So uh… By using fennec and sometimes a VPN. Am I making myself more unique and fingerprint able?

Should I be using something that sends randomised bogus data instead?

Here I thought I was private but some of these 1% figures makes it look like I’m very unique and easily tracked.

That link is broken for me.

You mean they lied about it happing because it didn’t actually happen? Because this tweet by their official account looks to me like them disclosing a server seizure.

"THIS IS NOT A DRILL: The Dutch authorities, without a warrant, just seized one of our VPN servers saying they’ll give it back after they “fully analyze it”.

Windscribe uses RAM disk servers so the only thing the authorities will find is a stock Ubuntu install. The bigger worry is the unredacted Epstein files we had on there…"

“Don’t look up! Don’t look up! Don’t look up!”

This is the answer.

Additional ideas: I happened to be on Synology and wanted to download google takeout files directly from Google to the nas. So I ran an instance of chromium in docker and used that browser to download the 50gb takeout files directly to the nas.

Take note of the size of your immich library before and after you import with immich go, and how big the takeout files are before using immich go. If you miss a few files you’ll know because of the size discrepancy.

One thing about monitors lasting so long is that it feels good that I’m not making e-waste from monitors every time I upgrade my computer. For the 25 years I’ve been using desktops I’ve only bought 3 monitors, I can’t say that about the rest of my computer hardware.

I hear you there. Almost every meeting presentation room I use still requires my usb-c to vga adapter and I just have to live with it. It’s the natural state of such places I think. It feels so amazing when I can plug directly into my laptop without an adapter. And yea I agree, they are a headache.

This seems like a non issue dramatised for headlines, they are phasing out outdated sata connection to only favour current m.2.

It’s like gpu and motherboard manufacturers announcing they are no longer including VGA ports in favour of DVI display port and HDMI. I don’t think that was a bad thing.

I’m sure some people who are lucky enough to have hardware that still requires SATA want to keep upgrading to new SATA devices but it’s been enough time. I’m ok with just m.2 now.
