Great work!
Super cool to see it do the whole game. I spent my fable budget building something similar this week but only drove it to Brock. I like the "current focus" framing too.

Definitely one of the cooler projects to watch while I was there. I recall the goal was to open-source it from early on, so I'm glad to see it come to fruition!
Is there a source for this? I didn't see anything when Ctrl-F'ing their site.

Ownership philosophy aside, it's funny that you pick those two companies as examples.
The former enabled cert pinning (partially) as a response to a MITM[1] from the latter.

That is the general idea behind global privacy control[1], though Firefox still has it hidden behind about:config.

I remember some theories around 2021-2022 that Apple had modified the ANC in AirPods Pro/Max via a firmware update. If I recall, the thought was this was in response to some patent infringement.
Anecdotally, I think I noticed a difference, but I also chalked it up to prematurely-degrading hardware...

Ask HN: Is Kagi Search Down?
For about 30 minutes now, all Kagi search requests appear to return a blank screen. It also seems to take longer for the request to resolve.Their status page[1] shows no issues, and their unauthenticated home page also appears to be fine.

Agreed, "As many as" is doing some heavy lifting. The only anecdotal evidence I have in support of this claim is how some companies included the employee's laptops as part of severance packages throughout the "forced RTO" layoffs in the past year.

Same here, as if an unsolicited SMS with attachments will be effective. I also unsubscribed a while back after reading about issues similar to what's mentioned in other comments here.

Kreya is the only alternative I've used that prioritizes gRPC support (along with REST). Regardless of source availability, thank you for creating this!

I can't believe Marineland (and the like) are still allowed to exist. They've always had horrible, abusive practices and should be held criminally liable.

FWIW `realpath` on macOS should be functionally equivalent to `readlink -f` - particularly if you ignore all the other functionality `readlink` provides.
