Cloudflare works really well and has a good UI. Namecheap also works well, but it takes more clicks to adjust DNS records.

Thank you for sharing this story. I've recently watched this video on MLMs and it describes exactly the kind of situations your mom found herself in. I thought these MLM schemes were bad before, but I had no idea just how horrible they actually are...

I’ve heard that Bing is a good alternate

Google is just a ranked ad delivery service based on an abused and gamed SEO system, it’s fucking awful for delivering useful links.

For what it's worth, Bing is similarly full of ads, but with a more cluttered page design and a lot of video previews. Often times I find its suggestions for related searches get in the way of actually reading the search results for the current search...

Does anyone know an example of an instant app? I’d like to see what this is before it gets shut down.

If you buy from a reputable seller with a good free return policy, at worst you'll have to send the device back. If you have access to a credit card or PayPal, it's a good idea to use them, in case the seller becomes unresponsive.

Yeah, having the option is not a bad thing. Nothing changes for those who use the apps or want them there, but it lets people remove them if that's what they want.

I'm not familiar with this blog, so I can't comment on their general stance, but this particular article seems balanced and fair. They point out questionable implementation practices on Proton's side rather than criticising the AI itself.

Just keep in mind that sd cards can also stop working. I would encourage you to keep at least two separate copies, ideally one on a different medium than an SD card, and check regularly that you can still access the codes. A backup is only as useful as it is easy to restore.

hardware and software are extremely mature

And that's a good thing, perhaps except for tinkering purposes. I have to rely on my phone for several things throughout the day, sometimes more than I'd like to, so the last thing I need is bugs introduced just for the sake of changing things.

Your entry for Omnivore says the link to the hosted version is broken. That's because it shut down at the end of last year.

It was a good option for read-it-later, whereas most of the of the bookmarking self-hosted apps seems more focused on saving and sorting links.

I think on Eureka grinders the 0 label may not actually be the point where the burrs touch. There is an experiment you can do to find where your true 0 is by slowly turning the burrs by hand while lowering the setting until they touch. Since your touching point might be a lot below 0, you might not be grinding as fine as you think!

live plex transcoding

If you need this, the most cost-efficient way is probably to get an Intel CPU with an integrated GPU that supports QuickSync (all recent ones do) and pay for the lifetime Plex Pass. In the long run, it's cheaper than getting a beefier CPU, let alone a dedicated GPU, just for transcoding.

Is it good for read-it-later functionality, for example to read from a phone without online connectivity?

The author does a pretty good job of explaining the potential problems this technology could cause. Scroll down to Why Attestation Is Bad.

For me, this has been the case for years, at least on Windows and Linux. It happens mostly on Maps, but also on Docs/Sheets, and to a lesser extent on GMail.

I use Firefox, but I have never had the same experience with it as those who claim it's just as fast as Chrome.

Hi. Thanks for the release. It's excellent and I'm really enjoying using Connect!

Here are a couple of small requests from a compact layout user:

  • Would it be possible to add dividers between posts in compact layout? Currently there is a lot of text and little visual separation.
  • Would you consider adding an option to move the thumbnails to the right?

And here are a couple of minor issues I've noticed:

Thanks again for your work.
