Holy shit does that bring back memories! I probably still have my Braun Series 5 somewhere (and yeah, it’s probably at least 15 years old), but I haven’t used it in some time.
I’ve mostly been using Philips OneBlade, but true BIFL would be a safety razor.
The way AdGuard does it, is it has you install a certificate on your phone, which then allows you to block ads and trackers within HTTPS pipelines. If you don’t do that, then it can only block HTTP requests, which tends to be pretty low quality filtering. In addition, I also enable DNS blocking through AdGuard DNS service, so it’s kind of like blanket coverage.
I haven’t honestly found anything that does the same thing, or at least not at the same level of quality. So I’m always curious to see if something new has come out that can reach this level of filtering performance.
Can anyone tell me if this filters HTTPS requests?
That’s one feature that keeps me using Adguard, and it makes a huge difference to the filtering ability/quality.
Synology. Whatever is in your budget.
Yes, they’ve done things to piss off the community, and sure, a DIY build is going to give you more control and powerful hardware.
But you can get support (though Synology or the Internet communities of users), and if any family member ever needs to take it over, it’ll be easy for them to pick up and manage.
Very cool. Thanks for the recommendation.
tp link routers tend to run openwrt pretty well.
Of course, I have the TP-Link router that isn’t well-supported 😖
I kind of miss my old Linksys routers, which officially supported third-party firmware.
Yes, when you mount the external library (when setting up docker), you can set it as read-only. 👌
Fucking legend! I’m going to spend the weekend exploring these apps and see what changes I can make on my phone. 👍
My use case:
I use a Synology NAS to backup my photos/videos. On mobile, I use the Synology Photos app for 100% of the backups, because it’s been 100% reliable for me over the years.
I basically run Immich in read-only mode, and specifically for searches. The contextual search is incredible, and after putting it side-by-side with a very expensive Windows software that uses local AI search, it came out on top… no contest.
So in that sense, I’m very happy!
Are those green mini icons an indication of a PWA shortcut?
I use the app Hermit to run isolated websites, usually as PWAs. It’s replaced quite a few apps, but I’ve noticed that many companies are intentionally making their web experience shit so they force you to use invasive apps.
Anyway, it can create home icons for those sites, and they run separately (i.e. in your task switcher), so it works better than browser shortcuts.
That’s some sleazy bullshit right there!
Enforces privacy laws
I mean, there didn’t seem to be any consequences. No fines or anything like that. They were basically told that they can’t use facial recognition for what they were using it for, but there are others ways they could still use it (outlined in the article).
They were given a free-pass, it seems.
Also no native Linux app so I could only use it on the app on my phone.
You can use their web interface to view/control certain models on your local network: https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003981973-How-to-Remotely-Access-Reolink-Cameras-NVRs-via-a-Web-Browser/
I have the Reolink Home Hub (doesn’t support all my Reolink cameras, but enough), and I’m able to use the browser interface on Linux no problem. Of course, the app is more feature rich, but that depends on your needs, too.
I’m sure you can even access this interface through the net via remote proxy or something similar.
but in a recent firmware update they disabled the http and https capabilities
Yeah, they suck with their firmware. One of my cameras was locked out… literally unable to view, playback, or control it until I got in touch with Reolink tech support so they could force an update through. It took several days and a lot of effort to clear that up. Not cool!
When should I sell my unused Series X? Because I feel like I’d make a profit if retail prices keep increasing 😂
The “text messages” between him and his roommate tho…
The language is completely different. Vocab, grammar, punctuation, everything
I just read the “texts” and had the exact same thought. Everything about it seems… off.
And anyone his age would 100% know that you can’t just “delete this exchange” after giving very specific details that didn’t need to be shared at all.
Then he claims “idek if it had a serial number”, referring to the gun used, all while being a highly proficient shooter who has likely used this gun for ages, since it’s supposed to be in his family. Makes no sense.
Assuming he was texting using a modern phone, why are simple autocorrect rules being applied sporadically? You see “I’m” and then “Im”. Autocorrect wouldn’t let that slip.
Nobody should trust the FBI under Trump, anyway. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was faked, just like the fake MS-13 tattoo on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckles. The one that Trump defended as being totally real, and the one that was brought up by a journalist during an interview, who was later fired for criticizing Trump.
What a screwed up timeline. People in the future won’t believe that any of this happened.
Life has been so good with Linux.
It’s using my Nvidia GPU to do the LLM thing, so that may be the difference.
This could be!
Interestingly enough, I was playing around with LLama, as they have speech to text to interact with their chat bot, and it converts in near real-time with very good accuracy. So I do know that things can be fast and accurate, but I wish it was in Speech Note. LOL
For now, I may just to STT through my phone on a shared document with my laptop.
I really wanted to use it, because on my Android phone I use voice input all the time.
That’s why I’m thinking it’s a problem with Speech Note and not my mic, or how I’m speaking to it.
That’s a real shame. I can type quite fast, but my hand joints called it quite a while ago. 😵
mp3va.com has been listed in U.S. Trade Representative annual reports as being unauthorized to sell music. Legal experts have explicitly stated that while MP3VA claims to operate legally under Ukrainian copyright laws, “it is not legal for them to sell this music in the United States”.
I’ve never used the site, but there seems to be an argument here regarding moral law and legalities within the United States.
But the site claims that:
Service www.Mp3va.com pays full-scale author’s royalties to owners of pieces of music, trademarks, names, slogans and other copyright objects used on the site.
If that’s the case, I think the OP should feel good about it.
Buying off a site like them likely pays out more per user than listening to the same songs on a streaming platform.
Yes, and use a combination of various attachments for grooming, and even got a third-party nose hair trimmer attachment that works pretty damn well, too! LOL
I tend to have really sensitive skin, and the OneBlade helps a lot. Philips says that you can use it wet or dry, with foam or gel, but also say that the best results are when you use it dry.
