I’d say check out this site: https://selfh.st/apps/?tag=Blog

There’s a number on there. I’ve personally used Grav, I hear ghost and Hugo are good. They’re more limited, but they’re much faster and more secure. As someone who had to support Wordpress blogs for years, the amount of security issues on that thing always made me stay far from it for any thing personal.

Why not both?!

Everytime I see a commercial where someone uses AI to make something larger and embellish and such, I think of the other commercials where people use the same AI to summarize it for them.

To be fair, I’d move away from Wordpress entirely. So many better options out there without tyrannical leadership.

Ooh, can I use that App that used to be Remote Desktop and then they renamed it, hmm, what did they call it… oh right “Windows App”

Tale as old as time.

The last time Biden even tried to delay sending weapons to Bibi, the republicans threatened to impeach and pass laws to go around him just to get it out there. You’re targeting the wrong group.

Once you set it up, it’s fairly low maintenance. I’ve got one setup at my parents house with a cron job set to auto update blocking lists and software. The hardest part is finding the right combo of lists that block everything you don’t want but allow what you do.

The Pi it’s on also has plenty of power for a vpn server as well so I can hop into their network when they have issues or to do data syncing.

And yeah, I’ve brought it up with security and they’re thinking about network level blocking. They don’t like browser plugins that basically need access to inspect content on every single web page you crawl. Who knows what data might leak.

It’s on YouTube, broadcast tv, and I unfortunately can’t run adblockers at my job. At home I’ve got a pihole that works wonders. It’s amazing how horrible things are when I’m not behind it.

Cool, can I stop seeing commercials for it now? My God the media blitz is everywhere!

I, and my family, definitely enjoyed the Wild Robot, solid film. I seriously hope they get to do the sequel (it’s based on a book series).

I still don’t know how people manage to fray those things. I used my 2013 for 10 yrs and the cable is still like new. They’re built pretty well. However, I do appreciate that the new ones are just usbc cables that plug into the brick so you can swap the cable if it does start to wear. Or so you can use MagSafe cables on non-apple power supplies.

 

On a large empty slab of asphalt, two BMWs take off. They drive in figure eights and along an oval path separate from each other but nearly in tandem, like two ice skaters practicing the same routine on a piece of black ice before coming to a stop.

Neither of the cars has a driver. That's not that impressive; self-driving cars in testing environments shouldn't impress anyone at this point. Essentially the automaker tells the car to drive a route, and it does it. The important thing here is why these cars, outfitted with additional sensors, are driving along the same route again and again, each time depressing the accelerator the same amount and applying the exact amount of pressure on the brakes: They're testing hardware with the least amount of variables you can encounter outside of a lab.

"It's boring for human drivers," says BMW's project lead for driverless development, Philipp Ludwig. When a human is asked to perform the exact same task repeatedly, the quality of the work diminishes as they lose interest or become fatigued. For a computer-controlled car, it can do this all day. And it has done exactly that.

 

A bill requiring social media companies, encrypted communications providers and other online services to report drug activity on their platforms to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) advanced to the Senate floor Thursday, alarming privacy advocates who say the legislation turns the companies into de facto drug enforcement agents and exposes many of them to liability for providing end-to-end encryption.

 

G/O Media, a major online media company that runs publications including Gizmodo, Kotaku, Quartz, Jezebel, and Deadspin, has announced that it will begin a "modest test" of AI content on its sites.

The trial will include "producing just a handful of stories for most of our sites that are basically built around lists and data," Brown wrote. "These features aren't replacing work currently being done by writers and editors, and we hope that over time if we get these forms of content right and produced at scale, AI will, via search and promotion, help us grow our audience."
