But with Cloudflare tunnel (and similar tools), there are no open ports on the origin server.

Do you mean by getting the information from Cloudflare, or some other way? With DynDNS though, finding out my IP is trivial and does not require any special powers or skills, it is just a DNS lookup.

PS. Just re-watched your matrix LED pendant video. It is so well done, both the project, and the accompanying video!

This and Clicks Communicator seem eerily similar.

If somebody learns that such-and-such DynDNS URL is mine, they can always do a DNS lookup to find my current IP address. They can:

- find my approximate physical location

- regularly scan ports on my IP and wait for me to accidentally expose a service I didn't mean to

- track me in any access logs they have access to

Yeah, but then you are always exposing your public IP.

Perhaps this is not their entire defense strategy, just the first layer?

I don't have and don't want to have an agent

Very cool, I like the conceptual simplicity of it. Even I can understand it, at least at a surface level :-)

Is there a safe way to make backups of the index.lmdb and data0 files without stopping the server?

It's a good time to reduce the reliance on technology.

Throw out the IoT and "smart" stuff from your home. Remove apps from your phone and leave the absolute basics. Go through the password manager and close accounts for sites you are no longer using. Start migrating off Google. Print out your most precious photos on paper. And so on :-)

> 8. I understand that LGE will retain the collected Voice Information for 6 months to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, and after this period, it will be deleted or anonymized, depending on the case.

Somehow feels like it might be used for more than just wake word detection.

If you are wealthy, it does not matter if they are expensive. If they have any impact, why not?

> 125 miles. That’s less than two hours of driving.

Assuming you have a straight road in that direction with a speed limit that allows an average speed of more than 100km/h.

"You already have impressive event experience going, but do you know if AIs are recommending it? I will set up llms.txt for free for you, no pressure, not trying to pitch anything. If not interested, just reply 'not interested'".

Yeah, that's a very good counter-argument. I recently talked to a potter exactly like that, they said Instagram is their primary sales channel. Unlike for me, for them leaving would have significant financial consequences. The majority of users are not in this situation though.

The utility is not of existential importance. Yes, you can uninstall Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, and the sky will not fall, life will just go on.

I recently got one of those emails, interestingly leading with "I came across your profile on Hacker News".

Once I understood the proposal, I thought this would be horror job cognitive dissonance-wise. So unethical.

I also had a conspiracy theory – perhaps the "we can't pass interviews, so you do the interviews, and we do the job, win-win" is just a cover for the real play – shady anonymous orgs getting access to infrastructure and data of various western businesses, using you as a facade.

> I don’t think either of us is going to change the other’s mind, so I’ll leave it here.

So so so disappointing.

Uninstall them.

Isn't there a setting to turn auto-correct off?

In one of the monthly update videos Andreas mentioned that although they are working on a basic built-in adblocker for Ladybird, long-term they want extension support and the adblocking functionality to be in an extension.

If your writing is indeed your work then watermarking should not affect you.

There's plenty of negativity of the technology itself as well. See for example how often the term "slop" is being used.

Delivery companies would adapt and drivers would have work-only dumb phones with correct country SIMs. Problem is, spam & scam callers would adapt as well.

If you are not buying Apple products, you are saving yourself their suckiness. Win! And other people can make their own choices.

The Anubis challenge took ~5 seconds.

What do you propose instead?

So... Is your suggestion to ban tracking, marketing, analytics etc. non-essential cookies altogether?

Texting and driving is a real problem.
