Not OP but my general approach is similar: "I see it as wrong but do not feel entitled to impose my standards on others".

You can either root it or enable developer mode to install an ad-free youtube.

Or as Raymond Chen likes to put it: "It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway".

I've been really happy with the winger addon for managing tabs. I really am closer than ever to complete control.

(no relation, just a user)

It adds a dropdown list of windows in the tab bar in which you can name each window, move tabs between windows, and save/restore windows into bookmarks.

Now instead of having 1000 tabs in 20 odd windows and eventually declaring bankrupcy, I have 1000 tabs in 20 _named_ windows alongside 500 bookmark folders of (named!) past sessions. Much better.

Seems similar to the linux kernel coding style: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style....

Sure but traditionally this was a purely legal mechanism. There was no technological measure preventing you from copying a book, only a legal threat looming over _what_ you do with the copy.

Nowadays we have this very corporate-positive situation where copyright holders have their cake by embedding DRM and eat it too by leveraging the DMCA to prevent DRM circumventions. So you can be screwed even if you only want to take private screenshots, make backups, or exercise fair use.

You can setup a bazarr instance to use whisper as a subtitle provider.

See also selegiline, which partially metabolizes to levoamphetamine and levomethamphetamine. Not OTC though (antidepressant).

At least for now.

Nintendo's latest legal argument against emulators does rest on the DMCA's anti-circumvention provision. The letter from Nintendo to Valve in the Dolphin case makes it pretty clear.

It was already annoying to disable the (non-ad) screensaver on my (rooted) LG TV, I imagine it won't get any easier.

I can recommend the winger addon for managing tabs.

Allows for naming windows, moving tabs between windows, and saving tabs from a window as a bookmark folder.

My perspective as a subscriber for ~6 months:

Search just works, 90%+ of my searches are on kagi. Much better than google, bing, ddg, etc. Worth the $10.

I do use fastgpt and the summarizer sometimes. As with any of these AI tools, you have to get a feel for what suits it and when to use it.

The unbiased review idea _sounds like_ it would be ultimately fruitless as the requirements get philosophical, but it may very well lead to more useful tools in the process.

The GDPR perspective is unfortunate. I'm willing to wait and see if they eventually accept it.

Overall, I like their focus on user experience, customization, fast and light websites, and search quality. Sure it might not as objective as it's portrayed, but it is giving me great tools _today_.

I used a similar setup to reboot my home server remotely, with gpio pins instead of wakeonlan.

I eventually replaced it with an aliexpress tuya pcie power switch. I just wish I'd gotten the zigbee version. Homeassistant with local tuya wifi devices is quite janky.

I recently performed this exact procedure on a wifi card and yes, kapton tape works better. Electrical tape tends to tear or slide.

There might be allow lists, but I fine tuned the domains manually when setting up the TV, as they may vary by region.

My LG A1 does not hardcode addresses. I also rooted it to prevent updates from doing so in the future.

I got my glinet gl-axt1800 mainly for the adguard support out of the box, as a way to keep my smart tv experience sane. Works pretty well.

Interesting timing, just yesterday I was looking for solutions for file transfer between android and windows. My main issue is how android presents as a very limited mtp device (i think?). Microsoft's phone link works, but only when opening a scrcpy-like screen with the android file manager. Very weird.

If possible I wanted to actually mount the device as a drive. I stumbled upon sshfs-win[0] which mounts sftp shares as drives. Couple that with prim-ftpd[1] and voilà: android mounts as a drive. Tailscale[2] can also make it fairly lan-independent.

Primitive ftpd supposedly starts on boot and keeps running but I found it stopping inconsistently at times, requiring a restart. Still, I'm quite satisfied. I suppose dav could work as well, but no apps popped up on fdroid.

I recently went down the pen rabbit hole after starting a daily journal. I eventually settled on 0.38mm uni refills (UMR-83 gel and SXR-38 ballpoint) on energel infree bodies (metal clip plus you get to see the click mechanism at work).

jetpens is both a store and a well-known source of pen related info

I keep a pi with wireguard as a way to reboot my homeserver remotely if something goes wrong. A gpio pin connected to an optocoupler acts as second power switch on the motherboard.

Works well for testing stuff remotely or messing with VPN configurations on the server itself without leaving it stranded for good.

Great thread OP. I'd say there are three main things on my mind lately:

First is trying to move from my third world country, which is pretty involved. There's a lot to prepare financially, culturally, and you basically have to have a job arranged to pull it off. Reading this on HN, you would think about getting a job as a software engineer and then just moving, but as an electronics/firmware engineer, it is hard to both get a remote job and also make that little career jump.

Second is thinking about connecting more with people online, I recently realized I've been on the internet for over 10 years and I haven't really made any friends. I'd say I'm much fonder of the older forum style communities than the more fleeting and instant chat based ones of today, but even when they were the norm I didn't really make friends either, so there's something about my approach that needs work for sure.

A third one is stable diffusion and other current AI developments. I didn't really pay AI much thought, but since stable diffusion came out I've been pretty obsessively watching it as it develops. I even bought a new GPU just to try it out (currently waiting for it to arrive). I find drawing fascinating despite never nurturing my skills very well, so being able to "draw" properly, even if just by conducting a big black box of matrix computation instead of my hands, feels pretty great.

Second this. For those who enjoyed, the director also has a youtube channel hosting interviews with japanese artists:

> This kind of comparison is toxic in society.

I would imagine that the change, especially overnight, would be quite toxic. But given enough time for the population to adapt, maybe it wouldn't be a problem anymore? Just like it (supposedly) isn't in Norway?

I wish there was a way to completely force firefox to keep only one window open.

I imagine that would help with my tab-hoarding, as I tend to branch into more windows (up to ~50) once they reach too many (20 or so) tabs each.
