... "from the data we have so far."

There are still a lot of unknowns, as stated in the media briefing.

The 2003 SARS outbreak resulted in under 8500 confirmed cases and the 2012 MERS outbreak in around 2500. Confirmed COVID-19 cases are currently over 80000. Only considering fatality rate paints a flawed picture.

Google does this for its search results. Hovering the cursor over it shows the actual URL of the result, but whenever it detects an onclick event it replaces it by its own tracking URL. Super annoying when trying to copy an URL - luckily you can easily get rid of it through user.js.

It's still a big pile of black-box systems where it's unclear what kind of data they collect and where they send it to whenever you connect it to a network. Never connecting it at all does defeat most of the points people like about Teslas.

It's amazing how truly unreliable ultra-cheap VPS providers can be. You're lucky if you even get an upfront notice before they decommission hardware you are relying on, or the entire company just disappears overnight.

Usually you get what you pay for.

Which modes of transport are explicitly being outlawed?

The configuration still exists in memory somewhere, so you could extract it from a dump... whether you should want to do this is an entirely different question though.

I very recently transferred a few domains to Gandi, and they also managed to lose one. I had to contact their customer support and they were able to restore it - it was all very strange. Combined with this incident and their responses on social media I'm getting the feeling that I should move them elsewhere again...

Since most websites seem to prefer slapping banners and modals on their pages as opposed to actually ridding their sites of tracking cookie usage I've found that just blocking the elements using a filterlist[0] is a nice solution.

Have you tried setting privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config?

A sufficient amount of sleep. What constitutes 'sufficient' is likely quite individual.

It's nice to see how Manyverse (and the Scuttlebutt protocol in general) are progressing. I was happily surprised at the ease of use when I first tried Manyverse, and it's easy to introduce friends to it with a polished app like this. Fantastic work!

It's a shame how the Pay-to-IP functionality went nowhere (despite the rather insecure implementation back then). If one could pay to a DNS record it would allow for human-friendlier addresses without encouraging address reuse.

Canonical tried something similar with Ubuntu Touch, which was, sadly, killed off due to low market interest. With ever more capable phone hardware I'm quite surprised we aren't seeing more progress in OS convergence.
