I'm sorry, but those masks won't help at all :'(

unicornporn··on Your Organization should run its own Mastodon server
Hey, another one! https://social.bund.de/explore
unicornporn··on Your Organization should run its own Mastodon server
> No organization wants to do this, unfortunately. Twitter and Instagram are “free”. Running servers costs money […]

2000 active users for $89 per month[1]. That's probably less than you would spend on toilet paper for 2000 employees. I don't think money would be the biggest reason why an organization or company wouldn't commit to the Fediverse.

Mastodon is also a DigitalOcean 1-click app[2] if you're willing to spend more time.

unicornporn··on Show HN: Quake 1 ported to the Apple Watch
While that may be correct it's still insane you can't port open source software to a device you own without paying a fee.
unicornporn··on Create an Inexpensive Flying Wing / Drone (2019)
So, I'd you don't want to build one yourself... What is good ready-to-fly option?
unicornporn··on The optimal amount of fraud is non-zero
Reminds me of Marx and his theories on the productivity of crime.

The criminal moreover produces the whole of the police and of criminal justice, constables, judges, hangmen, juries, etc.; and all these different lines of business, which form equally many categories of the social division of labour, develop different capacities of the human spirit, create new needs and new ways of satisfying them. Torture alone has given rise to the most ingenious mechanical inventions, and employed many honourable craftsmen in the production of its instruments.[1]

unicornporn··on Bibliogram, Open-source front-end for Instagram, is being discontinued
It's been nonfunctional for at least over a year. Changes to Instagram made impossible to bypass the wall protecting the garden (or landfill).
unicornporn··on Brave’s De-AMP feature bypasses ‘harmful’ Google AMP pages
...and replaces harmful AMP pages with fishy blockchain crap.
unicornporn··on AdGuard publishes the first ad blocker built on Manifest V3
Does Chrome have bells and whistles? I thought they removed all of them. Firefox, on the other hand, have a few left...
unicornporn··on Google cracks down on VPN based adblockers
> I really don't understand how most people can stand to browse with all the ads

People don't browse, they app.

unicornporn··on Amazon's acquisition of the Roomba is dangerous
Doesn't sound like a great security strategy. What happens the day some neighbor makes their Wi-Fi public?
unicornporn··on Libgen-text: complete Library Genesis, re-packaged as text only (1.2TB)
> not everyone has the software installed to unpack them

People downloading 2 TB of compressed books in plain text format are not exactly the definition of "everyone".

> Yes, there's a lot better compression available these days

Tell me more!

unicornporn··on Astro 1.0 – a web framework for building fast, content-focused websites
> Yet, I can never get the old test site I set up running again without massive annoyances.

Use Zola or Hugo. They have zero dependencies.

unicornporn··on Blosxom: The Zen of Blogging
Blosxom is not a "platform". It's a Perl script.
unicornporn··on Foods That Fight Inflammation
Mikhaila? That is not a name that I would drop in the context of dietary advice.
unicornporn··on We're improving search results when you use quotes
This is the right answer and I was under the impression that this was in the the Google fu crash course these days.
unicornporn··on Framework Laptop (2022) review: the repairability dream

How come a machine like this doesn't have flawless Linux support? Such a lost opportunity...

unicornporn··on Desktop Environments Resource Usage Comparison
Sameish numbers here. I thought KDE doing just as good (and even slightly better) than XFCE (in the RAM department) was kind of a well established fact at this point.
unicornporn··on Smart mushroom growing device for beginners
This thing looks extremely rough when examining pictures and video at highest resolution available. Take a look at the left edge of the display cut out, as an example:

This hobbyist level of machining does not go very well with the slick design and marketing.

Thanks.
unicornporn··on The world needs a non-profit search engine
Yes, it is. Bing has gotten a lot better recently. This is a good write up on indexes: https://seirdy.one/posts/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-...
unicornporn··on The world needs a non-profit search engine
Funny, I find them to be identical to Google's results localized for Sweden. Are you possibly using Google Search logged in or saving cookies between closing tabs (i.e. not using Cookie AutoDelete)?
unicornporn··on The world needs a non-profit search engine
> I use duck duck go.

You use a proxied Bing. If you want a proxied Google (what I prefer), you can use https://startpage.com

> There's one supplier I trust out of Sweden called Biogaia
