My two thoughts on this are DNS, too:
But as you’ve tried DDG browser without issues, it’s more likely to be the first option.
Also, any VPN you may be using.
I’m not running Frigate, but I can offer some advice on this question: I use a NUC to run HAOS in Proxmox, which also can also run a Docker VM. That, in turn, can run any Docker container/stack.
You’d just need to make sure the appropriate devices are passed through in Proxmox between Docker/Frigate and HAOS. (Can’t offer much advice there, though…)
In case anyone is unaware of the point of this: it’s about the UK’s (for now) new age verification law, where you have to be 18 to have a credit card.
This really is the least-worst implementation of this I’ve seen so far, providing you have (or can get) a CC.
And at least it lets you continue buying games/content until this awful law gets repealed or rewritten by competent adults.
I second this. Bought one one of their N150 units recently from Amazon. Replaced the Win11 it came with and installed Proxmox, and it’s blown me away what I’ve been able to do with it.
It’s currently running HAOS (with ZBT-1 and Voice Preview) and a Linux VM, and plan to do more.
Doubling down on the batshit. Everyone knew VPNs were going to be the low effort workaround to this authoritarian batshittery.
I get what the (well meaning, I think) people lobbying for this are trying to achieve, but everything from the lobbying to legislation to enforcement seems to be happening in the worst way imaginable. Almost like it’s an intentional “You want to see how badly can we do this? Hold my drink! YOLO!!”
For me, the tell was UK PLC leaving it up to the sites themselves to decide who/how the verification would be done. Classic bad management “I don’t understand the slightest thing about any of this, but HOW HARD COULD IT BE?!” response. It’s like the “series of tubes” stupidity all over again.
Are you linking “everything is an Xbox” with growing their platform? Are you new at internet arguments?
I mean, it sounds like they’re copying Microsoft’s “everything is an Xbox” lunacy, but its unclear if that’s reality based on what I read there.
But I’d not be surprised if the “Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man” meme applies to this, given how focussed the VP of each company’s console division is on their main competitor.
But who knows… Perhaps not even them? 🤷♂️
Not sure it is the same kind of thing, but I’ve been using Homebank ever since the various personal financial management applications pulled out of the UK market.
I swear “How to disable AI in x…” is all our lives now. 😬
Prompted by this, TIL that !chargeyourphone@piefed.social exists. 😄
By “that shit”, do you mean every website/app that may contain age-restricted (not just sexual) content? Because that’s what comes into force in the UK next week.
I’ve been dreading this for decades. 🤬
It’s not just Reddit, nor are they the first to roll it out early.
Same here. And the reasons you mention are exactly the reason I deleted that account a few years ago when I switched to Fastmail.
A couple of my friends are willing to put up with it, but always mention the volume of spam they deal with.
I’ve had my new email address for 6-odd years and only have one regular spam source - from a hack of an online shop - but as I used a username+shopname email alias for it, it’s easy to detect and automatically handle.
Now I use Fastmail’s “Masked Email” feature for each online account. When (not if) a site gets hacked, I just change the site to use a new masked address and block/delete the old one, and then it’s useless to scammers/spammers.
ARM was European. Until its shareholders agreed for it to be acquired by SoftBank.
That’s a large part of the problem, I think: shareholders and “number must go up!” mentality can change a company’s nation of ownership/influence overnight. And a private European company can choose to go public on a foreign stock exchange (eg. Spotify).
If a viable competitor to Intel or AMD was to come into being in Europe, there’s currently nothing* stopping its shareholders selling the company to non-European venture capital whenever they want (eg. ARM).
*There is usually a competition or monopoly regulator, but they typically have no teeth, have been captured by industry interests, or have to bow to political pressure.
You can see some of them that way, particularly the ISS and Iridium satellites. Both require that you, the satellite and the sun be in the right position for you to see a reflection (or “flare”).
It’s worth noting that some satellites are smaller than a loaf of bread and low-earth orbit is 800-2000 km. By comparison, the horizon can be under 5 km. And there’s also the atmospheric conditions between you and it to consider.
If you want to watch a satellite flyover, there are sites and apps that provide the times for your location.
The first time I saw the ISS go over, it reminded me of those silent, fast action scenes in The Expanse. 😄
Doesn’t every Instagram user automatically have a Threads account now? (Even if they’re unaware of it.)
Meta faking Threads user count that way on top of what’s happened with X user count would explain this “milestone” quite easily.
If it eventually gets outed as being Ponzi scheme, I’ll not be remotely surprised.
Classic Reg. They style their headlines on Daily Fail language, meant to be a bit hyperbolic and/or tongue in cheek - which worked in the era of lad’s magazines - but really doesn’t now.
Good article, tough.
Found this to be an interesting read, and well written. Thanks for sharing it.
GitHub is often used as a code mirror, with the actual repo and builds being hosted elsewhere.
Shelter, as in the work profile app? It shows up on Droid-ify for me, and a check of the Links section confirms it’s hosted on a different repo (gitea.angry.im).
Can’t speak to Firefox on mobile, as I switched to Waterfox some time ago, but the latter definitely has it.
Oh well. I wish you the best in working it out.
