The best I know of is “Go Map!!”

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Go_Map!!

It’s very obvious that you did not read more than the title.

How on earth did they not teach? It’s exactly what this article is all about.

FYI; The example image currently only shows its alt text.

> iOS, by itself, weirdly does not have any APIs for looking for workouts in its own “Fitness” app like this, so the top block is a third-party app..

No need for third party app at all!

Just an idea but what about making it easier for folks to remember to use you search somehow‽

I like and use Duck Duck Go‘s !bangs [1] all the time, maybe try to add your site with a rememberable name.. may I suggest !garlic ?

I’m currently using “HACK for Hacker News” which is similar to Apollo. Don’t get your hopes up to high though.

Your personal website is beautiful!

The recipes section inspired me and now I need to add something similar to mine. And props for not tracking.

I’d also be interested in something that works with Ubuntu. I’d love it if you could give me a shout should you find something.

I’m not happy with how Backblaze handled informing affected users at all.

They were aware of it on March 21 and said that they “were preparing a communication with affected users at that time”.

I received an email about that only yesterday.

That’s 52 days it took them to write me an email which imo just isn’t good enough and afaik does not conform with the GDPR requirements for data breaches.

Here’s an analogy I like to use for people who don’t care about privacy; Its similar to not caring about free speech just because you have nothing to say. It’s not just about you the regular joe who is of no particular interest to companies/governments but about those people who absolutely need it.

You not caring about what they do with your data is totally fine but in my opinion you should care that they (in this case Google) have not only yours but everyone’s data. It’s astonishing what you can do with just some metadata. You can influence groups of people like never before. Swing Elections & change governments. Influence public opinion about literally everything to no small degree.

You’re not just giving them your uninteresting data you’re also giving them an enormous amount of power.

That’s not true.

DDG has their own crawler and their results are a composite of many different sources of which Bing is one.

It’s easy enough to check. I searched my name on both DDG and Bing, the results are completely different.

Apologies for the late reply, only just saw your question. In case you haven’t answered it yourself: Some appear to have the “button top” that you know from AA’s but most appear to omit those. But even those without the button top have a smaller contact on the positive side similar to the button top.

Not who you asked and I’m not up to date when it comes to the world of video streaming but personally I’d prefer a web where content creators would have to pay to distribute their content. Pay as in have some server, domain, bandwidth and whatnot. It’s then up to the creator to decide how/if to monetize their content. Just like the old days.

Perhaps not the best example for how abstract something is. The 18650 battery cells that most electric vehicles use looks very similar to an AA battery. You certainly couldn’t tell them apart from an icon.

I’m no expert here but wouldn’t that go against the E-privacy Directive 2009/136/EC, according to which you must:

Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies?

The first message „lo“ was sent at 10:30 p.m, on October 29, 1969. The transmitting SDS Sigma 7 host computer crashed before transmitting the final „g“ needed for the receiving computer at SRI to add the final „in“ for „login“. It took Leonard Kleinrock and UCLA student programmer Charley Kline about an hour to recover from that before the computer effected a full "login" sending the three letters „log“ again.

Not who you were asking but I use AdGuard and had no problems with the article. Works pretty well.

Personally I’m using a Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 4 on iOS 13 with an open source on device firewall. That way I can still use the official Apps like MiFit or AmazFit to sync all data to Apple Health without it being uploaded from their App to elsewhere. Make sure to use iOS12 or upwards and you’ll have to enable 2 Factor Authentication in order for your Apple Health data to be end to end encrypted.

I’m not sure how Android holds up but it should be possible to achieve something similar there, I’d guess. On Android there are third party Apps for syncing which should make things easier.

Pros: * Mi Band 4 is very cheap * Reliable HR, steps, activity & sleep tracking * Easy and quick setup * > 20 days battery life * Custumizable watch faces * 5ATM water resistant

Cons: * Xiaomi and Huami are Chinese companies * No always on display (but raising watch turns on display) * Some data could leak should the firewall fail * Currently no third party Apps for syncing to iOS

I wrote a short article about using the Mi Band 4 on iOS with a focus on privacy on my website if you’d like to know a bit more.

Got a promo code and the indexing was super fast.

You can turn of auto correct and all the gimmicks like spell checking, predictive typing, smart punctuation and auto capitalisation for the stock keyboard by going to Settings > General > Keyboards

What don’t you like about the stock keyboard that makes you want to use a third party keyboard instead?

Hey Josh!

Did you realize that your feed.xml seems to only link to

    http://localhost:4000/

instead of linking to your website like it should?

I mean you could always buy the DRM’d ebook somewhere if you wish to support the book financially and then download a DRM free ePub from Libgen or via torrent. That’s what I did.

Your problem was most likely using an Amex. Amex is accepted nearly nowhere in Germany.

One could use the Startpage bang !sp to use them as a proxy for Google.

I haven’t even thought about those wooden woven baskets!

But I suspect you‘d need two of them to equal the storage of a single standard plastic bag. And more than two baskets should be hard to carry.

As I‘ve just mentioned in another comment, we have a special store that sells groceries without packaging, bring your own container and fill it.

Also some supermarkets in Germany work on removing packaging from fruits and vegetables where it’s not needed, which is nice to see.

Coconuts, water melons, ginger and such get brandings with a laser.

German supermarket giant EDEKA seems to be the leader so far, they have pilot projects where customers can bring reusable containers for products. [1]

I like the idea very much.

We have a shop in Hanover, Germany, where I live that sells a lot of groceries without any packaging at all.

You just bring your own reusable containers to fill with whatever you need.

They have a lot of inventory like pasta, oils, grains, beans, detergents.. They themself buy everything from factories in reusable containers so no waste anywhere.

Those numbers over 20k are only for organic cotton though. Standard uncolored cotton as is most common has to be reused 7.100 times.

And the best end of life for plastic bags is not recycling but repurposing them to trash bags.

I‘m as much against (single use) plastics as the next guy but what’s the alternative here?

Studies have shown multiple times [1], [2] that cotton bags require far more energy and water to produce than almost everything else and need to be reused circa 7.100 times for non organic and twenty-thousand times for organic cotton until they surpass plastic bags.

I have some cotton bags and they are all produced as cheap as possible and I’m doubting wether they even can be used thousands of times before they disintegrate or some seams come apart.

In fact LDPE bags have the lowest environmental impact of them all. Unbleached paper and bipolymer bags come close after that.

The recommendation for end of life is always to reuse them as waste/trash bags by the way, recycling plastic bags has a larger environmental impact. So best to use LDPE bags a few times and then reuse as waste bag seems to be the best option.
