Just a heads up: not all plants like this because the tannic acid can make the soil too acidic for them.

As I was reading the article, I was thinking how glad I was that I switched - I am on the yearly plan now because I'm not going back to "free" search engines.

It allows me to connect into the house via the VPS without opening ports or knowing my home address.

Nowadays there are various companies offering tunnelling services, but my setup has been working for a long time and I see no reason to change.

It's the root OS; that Pi is a media centre in the living room (plus it's taken on a few extra duties since it's always online). It's been going for a good few years now, 8+?

I've been running OSMC (Kodi on Debian) plus a few useful things like maintaining a reverse SSH connection to a VPS.

He always mysteriously gets frail and feeble-minded when it's time for him to have to testify in court. Once that's over his memory magically returns to him and he goes back to his mafia don mode.

There was a hack in 2011 where The Sun's website claimed Murdoch was dead.

Yes, uBlock Origin works brilliantly on Firefox for Android (can't comment on other mobile OSes).

This takes you to the search results so it's an extra click to get to the actual page.

My actual regex is a bit more complicated since it deals with multiple domains but that's the gist.

I've been using Kagi for two months and I'm loving it - the ability to control your results is amazing. Some things I do:

  • remove or downrate things like pinterest and w3schools from my results
  • rewrite www.reddit.com/* to old.reddit.com/*
  • rewrite to send some sources through archive.today or similar to break paywalls
  • rewrite to set the language of some sites that GeoIP my location but ignore my language headers

Also, having keyboard controls - like Google used to have - is so welcome, and their AI summarisation tools are actually useful too.

What's this easy fix then? Just a lower number? That will just mean more publishers.

AI detection tools don't work, and humans aren't much better, unless they're subject experts. How do we stop AI books?

The article mentions that Hurd is also a recursive acronym, but doesn't go into any more details.

After looking it up on Wikipedia, I see why not:

It's time [to] explain the meaning of "Hurd". "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth". We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms.

I can only answer the first part: .jxl

 

I want to mount some B2 buckets on Linux for read/write access. What do people recommend?

s3fs, rclone or GeeseFS seem to be the sensible choices, but please share your hard-won opinions with me.

edit: or goofys?
