Should HN have rules around sharing paywalled content? I don’t see the point of sharing something if most people aren’t going to be able to read it.
That being said, I learned recently that for the same prices you would pay here you can get a castle in Europe... so I made that my retirement goal.
According to this, 405, which is 405 too many.
I'm running a hybrid setup, using a Line 6 Helix in front of a Soldano SLO 30 (and on its effects loop as well). Each effect can be adjusted (with all sorts of knobs, more than 12 for some), moved around and triggered individually or together. You can even use the Helix to toggle channels in the amp, manually or as part of presets.
It drastically eased up my workflow to experiment with and mix effects. No more tinkering with cables. No more wondering which pedal is plugged in wrong or doesn't have enough power. No more velcro strips. Plus, selling my hoard of pedals felt nice.
The data source basically contained account IDs, billing addresses, credit card hashes and whether an account was identified as fraudulent or not.
Using that data, I built a quick GraphDB prototype that showed clusters of fake/fraud accounts. It was simple stuff, but back then said execs were pretty impressed.
I don’t know what came of that because I left shortly after, but it was an interesting little experiment. I had fun building it!
The more I think about it, the more I suspect trusting another big tech company with my privacy with no material proof other than their word might have been foolish.
I tried to do a whois on those domains, but it seems they’re managed by an intermediary and anonymized.
* Any outbound DNS and DNS-over-TLS requests coming from anything other than my Pi-Hole * Any outbound HTTPS requests to DNS-over-HTTPS providers that I know of
It's surprising how many hits I got to those block rules. Makes me very worried about the adoption of DoH: all its privacy and anti-tampering advantages also apply to devices that violate privacy, like smartphones and smart TVs. I want to keep those under control.
I'm curious about your setup: how many devices do you have in your network that you need a load-balanced Pi-Hole setup!? My RPi4 has been rock-solid, but it sounds it doesn't have to handle nearly as much load as yours. Makes me wonder if my next hardware purchase should be a small server to host a hypervisor instead of a single RPi.
As I've grown older, I've developed a theory about why people like the zodiac sign, Myers-Briggs, blood type personalities and all that other crap: * Sense of belonging - wanting to belong to an in-group * Understanding oneself - these categorizations let you explain your personality really quickly, if not really in depth * Avoiding responsibility for themselves - instead of recognizing your flaws, it's easier to say "well I'm a Libra, what did you expect?"
I can understand the need for the first two, but that last point always makes me angry.
Looking at the samples they provided in the pictures, I’d say I liked Tenorite, Grandview and Bierstadt the most. Skeena and Seaford I hated, I’m not a fan of serif fonts that inspire them. They look so dated to me.
To give you an example, I recently implemented an allowlist on my firewall so only approved devices can access my WAN. I immediately started seeing frequent dropped packets from my wireless access point (Netgear Nighthawk AX200) and switch (Ubiquiti UniFi 8-port PoE) to Netgear and AWS IPs respectively. While some of that is probably them checking for updates, the volume didn't really seem warranted.
Going back to Apple though... sure, that's the exact reason why I switched. They already charge a premium, so they have less of an incentive to pad their quarterly earnings selling data. But they're still a company, still responding to shareholders, and they already collect certain amount of analytics. There's not that much of a jump from there to selling it, so being careful and mistrusting is probably a good thing IMO.
That being said, I've been tempted to get a Motorola Razr flip phone just for the sake of nostalgia, though I would have to root it and remove everything related to Google to feel comfortable with it.
