That is surely must an optical illusion right? I mean unless your are 2, who would invest time and effort to built a stair that closes in on itself?

I think Arch wiki recommends rsync for backups

If this is adopted, soon github would require your SSN for writing hello world.

Worst thing about having parents, they die.

 

Meta along with Ray-Ban announced new smart glasses and the YT reviewers are praising it.

For me, I don't find them particularly good and being a Meta product, it will be horrible for privacy. Also people can record others without their knowledge with these, hell no!

I read about Google's decision of not releasing the firmware source code going forward. Is it still the case? If it is, should one purchase any Pixel 8/9/10 series in hope of keeping it for a long time?

I am planning to purchase a new Pixel 9 (used ones are not an option unfortunately) during the Black Friday or something. It will be a substantial amount but I am hoping it will be justified with amortisation.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot find a clear cut answer in the forums.

 

Share your thoughts on the latest Pixel devices. Initial impressions are mixed from the YouTube side of things.

 

Recently I saw an article saying, Japanese law forced Apple to open up browser restrictions on iOS.

But this got me thinking, why couldn't Apple just tell them to fuck off by saying that iOS is meant to be that way cause we are the ones who designed it and the ones who own it. And if you want a change, go make your own products.

Don't get me wrong, I hate big-tech controlling peoples lives, but aren't these kind of laws; telling a maker to make the product in a specific way, eliminating creative freedom?

There has been discussions with-in the development circles regarding a potential integration of Web3 functionalities into the mainline kernel. Exploring the feasibility of incorporating features like decentralised application (dApp) support and smart contract execution directly into the kernel.

Early proposals suggest leveraging the NPUs in new processor families for secure on chain data validation within the kernel space. This means better fraud protection by validating signatures while booting up using the zk-SNARK cryptographic proof.

The developers at Linux Fundaytion notes that this plan requires extensive re-architecture of the codebase. They say that after this, Linux would only run supported systems with dedicated NPU and will simply refuse to boot on other systems, making a significant breakthrough in system security.

The timeline for the proposed changes have already been laid out. With chip manufactures already including dedicated NPUs, developers now have more freedom than ever. Linux communities have always welcomed Web3 technologies like NFT, dApp games etc. and with the kernel integration, Linux will be making a huge leap into the future. One developer put it aptly, "Imagine running my own ETH node directly within Linux kernel."

Please suggest a good and relatively affordable private email provider. I am considering tuta, mailbox right now. I know proton has gone rogue.

I cannot self host one and the email provider must be somewhat reputable as I will be using this for my work portfolio. Anything with €1-€3 per month is encouraged.

 

Many YT privacy frontends are down it seems. YouTube is cracking down on these servers fast. Both Invidious and Piped services are not working now.

So how are you watching videos now? Just plain youtube[dot]com with unblock and VPN?

Was browsing on the GrapheneOS website and came across a new thing called WebUSB, which is essentially a JS API through which GrapheneOS web installer worked.

This got me wondering, if website could read what's plugged into my computer like my phone or disks, isn't that a huge risk to privacy? I don't know how this works (haven't used it) so I would like to know about its privacy.

AFAIK Firefox doesn't allow this API, so that's a relief (I use librefox), but what about other browsers? I am getting a bit paranoid.

[Also, are there other APIs like these; which are a privacy nightmare that websites could use?]

I began using invidious after every piped instances refused to play videos lately. But what I read from their docs is that my IP might get exposed to google servers while loading videos from invidious. I use rethink DNS app and in that I can see all the domains that are getting called by my browser.

I tested about five instances and none are calling googlevideo domain as mentioned in the doc. Are they proxying my requests by default or am I missing something?

No, I don't have the option proxy video turned on. I use yewtu.be as my main invidious instance.
