Fate of Mander.xyz?
Does anybody know what's going on? It's been days since it was last online.
Edit: found another post about it: https://infosec.pub/post/52325030

In space, no one can hear you scream how good this cyberdeck is!

I wanted a long gun locker. Why is it that I can only find 2 categories in the market:
- flimsy cabinets that you could open without tools;
- mega safes that will stand as a testament to humanity in 1000 years.
Where's my middle option?
The Restroom Archive

[JS Required] The Restroom Archive
Repo.
The Restroom Archive is an ongoing case study that aims to document and celebrate the public restroom. What started as a joke in 2023 has become a years-long practice of 3D scanning the restrooms in restaurants, gas stations, convenience stores, coffee shops, and various other spaces across the U.S. and Europe.
The scans are meant to capture the humorous, chaotic, and often scary nature of these uniquely private publicly accessible spaces.
Through capturing the diverse decor, graffiti, and artifacts, both stored and left behind, I consider public restrooms to be a reflection of both the creativity and impertinence of human nature when we think nobody else is watching.
Scans were made with LiDAR using Polycam for iPhone. This site was built using Vue.js and Three.js and is currently hosted on GitHub pages.
The real reason automakers are ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
TLDR: Automakers want a piece of the data harvesting pie. But don't worry they assure us it's just to improve their products. You know, like the infotainment they're building, that they wouldn't need to build if they kept phone integration.

Programming.dev seems to be experiencing slowness intermittently again. It is most pronounced on Tesseract, but also on the default UI. Using a mobile client such as Voyager seems more responsive, so maybe the API isn't suffering from it.
Review Checker will shut down tomorrow
The Fakespot feature within Firefox known as Review Checker will shut down on June 10, 2025.
There goes the only feature that managed to move my wife towards a gecko based browser. l guess it's Brave for her now.
Mozilla acquired it two years ago. Bastards.

Oregon State University's Open Source Lab may shut down without $250K in funding. Projects like Gentoo, Debian, Fedora, and many more rely on it.

All of the above have web GUIs to install, configure, and maintain services and are commonly suggested for someone that is new to self hosting. What are their key differences? Their advantages and disadvantages for common use cases?
https://git.programming.dev is chock full of spam
It's pages and pages of this. Maybe you want to restrict who can log in and create repositories.
What is NoSQL good for?
I’m versed enough in SQL and RDBMS that I can put things in the third normal form with relative ease. But the meta seems to be NoSQL. Backends often don’t even provide a SQL interface.
So, as far as I know, NoSQL is essentially a collection of files, usually JSON, paired with some querying capacity.
- What problem is it trying to solve?
- What advantages over traditional RDBMS?
- Where are its weaknesses?
- Can I make queries with complex WHERE clauses?
