India is going to block Proton mail.
I like it. This means that Proton actually works and they have no way to steal your information.

If the internet went away indefinitely, what things would you wish you had downloaded before it happened?
A full copy of Stack Overflow. Otherwise, we would not know how to get the Internet working again.

I'm in the same boat! I got tired of the constant enshittification of Fusion360 and started learning FreeCAD. And wow! it's way less intuitive. But I think I'll push through, as I don't want anything but open-source for this. The reason being that I don't want the same thing to happen again: I spend an unholy amount of time learning how to use a CAD software, and then it becomes the hottest steaming pile of corporate shit possible and I don't want to use it anymore. That's why I haven't even started looking at OnShape. With open-source the biggest risk is that the same thing might happen if the project gets abandoned, but it doesn't seem to be the case for FreeCAD (at least in the foreseeable future). In any case, I'm interested in hearing what others have to say :)

Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleading
Why would you want NOT to see the total price anyway? That is so shady...

How do i convince my brother privacy is important?
This is something I struggle with constantly. I feel like everybody around me does not care about their privacy. All of them say the typical “Why go through all the effort, sacrificing a lot of functionality and convenience for the sake of privacy? I have nothing to hide!”. It drives me crazy, and I feel kind of powerless without a convincing argument that makes them at least understand that installing stuff like Instagram on your phone is basically willingly installing a virus. They don’t even get surprised anymore when the ads they see are about stuff they were talking about with someone else in real life, and never mentioned or searched in their phones. I’m afraid that this will only get worse with time, and new generations that are being born under these circumstances are going to see it as normal. This means that making them understand the implications of not taking their privacy seriously is going to be harder and harder. I won’t give up, though. I’m still searching for my “irrefutable argument”.

SponsorBlock (and DeArrow): "YouTube is currently experimenting with server-si…" - Fosstodon
Also, if the ads where in different parts of the video every time, it would not be possible to use SponsorBlock for them :(

Are you reusing one postgres instance for all services?
Not so long ago I had the same question myself, and I ended up setting 1 Postgress instance and 1 MySQL instance for all services to share. In the long run, I had so many version and settings incompatibilities across services that moved back to one DB per service that is tuned specifically for it. Also, I add a backup app to all my docker compose files that have a DB in it. This way, backups happen periodically and automatically.

I like this idea too, but in some countries if you don't pay something, the company can add you to a nationwide "blacklist" that will give you a lot of headaches later. For instance, trying to get a loan from a bank, or insurance for something. There's a good chance those will be denied if you are on that list.

No, you don't need a 'very bespoke AOSP' to turn your phone into a Rabbit R1 — here's proof
I don't really care for this product. It's another unnecessary AI assistant. What I'm struggling to understand is why it matters which platform it's been built on. What difference would it make if they wrote an entire OS from scratch only for this device instead of using Android, if the end product would be the same?

What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?
Stephen Hawes
He made really cool electronics projects and I used to be his patreon. Now he started a company that makes pick and place machines and all of his videos are exclusively about that. No more cool projects.
Alexandre Chappel
He is a very good maker and designer. He used to make videos about different interesting projects until he bought an apartment and started renovating it himself. Similarly to Stephen's, all of his videos are about that now. No more interesting projects.

I don't get it either! It's a good article and I 100% agree with the author. Maybe it's because it's talking about a service and the whole article can be considered as advertisement, but I don't agree.

This looks super interesting. Thanks! One question though; can I still use it if I don't want to use Kubernetes? I just want to deploy a few containers here and there. I was thinking about moving everything to Kubernetes, but it seems a bit overkill for the 10 containers I have running.

Recommend a water pick?
I’m also new to this topic and last week bought an OralB as a test. I found it underpowered, noisy and big. I returned it and bought one that gets attached to your faucet. Zero technology, but has waaay more pressure than an electric one, is silent, does not break and barely uses any space. This is it.
