Cloudflare banned 8chan and Kiwifarms for political reasons.
Porkbun. Yes, Cloudflare Domains exists but let's support the small guys.

Re:TSMC is reportedly sold out until 2028 on Tuesday March 31, 2026 @04:12PM (#47592815)
Terafab, Tenstorrent, SMIC and Cerebras Systems are a few more TSMC competitors.
This incident will, hopefully, encourage people to use cctv that store footage exclusively locally (on a microSD card, built-in storage, or a local NVR/hard drive you control) and avoid any cloud connectivity or optional cloud features.

Local alternative to Google Nest : Reolink, Amcrest POE, Eufy with Home Base, TP-Link Tapo, Frigate + POE cams.

Re:Ollama now supports AMD graphics cards on Friday March 15, 2024 @02:30PM (#39719100)
I wish AMD did well in the Stable Diffusion front because AMD is never greedy on VRAM. The 4060Ti 16GB(minimum required for Stable Diffusion in 2024) starts at $450.

AMD with ROCm is decent on Linux but pretty bad on Windows.

Re:Google Drive has lost user data on Monday November 27, 2023 @02:19AM (#38429165)
I will always remember the automatic removal of the Christchurch shooting video from users' personal Google Drive and Dropbox accounts, with no prior warnings or explanations provided.
Re:Google User Data Is Police's Top Shortcut for Solving Crimes on Wednesday October 04, 2023 @01:53AM (#37761310)
I use Bing for porn. For reverse image search, I use Yandex. And for researching psychedelics and conspiracy(censored) topics - I use Brave Search.

I use Google only for vanilla search that shows I am a good citizen(navigation, online shopping, general research on movies and sports...etc). I don't want my search Identity to be fully profiled by Google. Police(and other bad actors like a hostile government) are more likely to access my data on Google than on other lesser know search engine.

I have never seen a more cute deer.

I wish all ancient drawings had such a version so we can easily interpret what they are talking about in the article. Early cave drawings are very hard to decipher.

Re:Does Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS Block Archive.is? (2019) on Wednesday August 02, 2023 @12:20PM (#36973014)
Cloudflare banned 8chan without a legal requirement to do so. They banned it based on moral reasons.
Re:Where do you discuss computer related stuff now? on Wednesday July 26, 2023 @01:28AM (#36873469)
Gab and others who hold different views from Mastodon have been excluded from the network by them. This goes against the idea of a federated system that supports free speech… but they have devoted a lot of effort to remove those who dissent from them.

In the 15-year period of 2005 through 2019, canines killed 521 Americans. Pit bulls contributed to 66% (346) of these deaths. Combined, pit bulls and rottweilers contributed to 76% of the total recorded deaths [1]

Wickr was one of the biggest sourcing platforms in the psychedelic world. It will be a huge loss for Psychonauts.
