I could be on the wrong track here, but the MACE ad-blocker built into the PIA VPN seems to work very well by itself. It's not free like PiHole is, but pretty cheap, and a VPN is probably a better starting point for security than a local blocker. Am I missing something here?

It's probably a good thing that this isn't what defines a drawing as good. A bicycle frame has a couple straight lines and that's about it. A hand, or broccoli, has complex compound curves all over the place.

Ask any artist to draw a bicycle and it'll probably end up pretty good. Ask any artist to draw a hand and there's a good chance it'll not end up good, even when using reference material.

There's a reason a lot of artists have problems drawing hands.

who knows, that is irrelevant in some sense. more than the number of years the focus should be on the causes and the problems causing it to fail.

when china will fail likely all that predicted it would have guessed by mere luck. But they might have spotted the right problems.

If I had to take a very wild guess the only ways china could fail would be success from external attack or side problems with their ability to handle the usual problems.

Also when somebody says X will fail in Y years they might mean "im working so that it will happens"

We do have the trouble of identifying it. Apparently"good" products isn't harmful because they are well made and doesn't emit the dangerous frequencies.

Add to that consumers nowadays often have the ability to turn off the "color enhancing" modes that phones and TVs ship with.

And further the LED lamps nowadays can also produce the warm coloured light now when we now how to make them cheaply without turning to "crank up the blue until it looks acceptable".

It seems to me (please correct me!) that this an old issue. "Unfortunately" LEDs last a long time so there are plenty bad LEDs out there, but as long as you buy reputable brand LEDs it seems this is a passing issue.

This time around it seems that manufacturers are well ahead or consumers and now when we are starting to realize it has already been fixed.

I once watched 100 videos of top 100 comedians of the decade. I realized that no two comedians were alike.

Nobody is saying that they aren't part of nature. The distinction is between nature-the-principles and nature-manifest. Together these comprise Nature.

The law of gravity is a different kind of thing to a rock. It is not a physical object, it describes the ways physical objects behave. The number 3 is a different kind of thing to 3 apples. It is not a physical-natural object, it describes aspects of nature.

Its the difference between the rules of chess and the board and pieces. Both are essential parts of the game 'chess' but we can usefully distinguish them when we want to be more precise.

It’s funny to watch Leo Laporte and his colleagues on twit.tv triggering their devices by mistake all the time, or having to repeat pretty much all their commands at least twice. These are podcast professionals with a crystal clear diction in a sound proof studio. If it doesn’t work reliably for them, try with a strong spanish or french accent or anyone who doesn’t articulate perfectly.

If you had to make several attempts every time you want to switch on the lights with a button, it would make anyone mad. I don’t understand the success of these devices (if there is success indeed, never sure with the hype).
Many prejudices are justifiable as statistically likely. The problem is that even though you may be right most of the time, you will unfairly disadvantage the people you were wrong about.

Sadly not that much from the top of my head. I mostly became familiar with it through IPFS[0][1], but the Wikipedia article lists other projects that might have interesting resources[2].

Heh, I'd forgotten that EMACS started out as "editor macros" that were eventually ported from TECO's command language to MacLisp.
You can improve your drawing about a thousandfold in the span of a couple minutes by learning to observe things instead of just what you think they look like.

Go grab something as reference material, anything moderately complex will do. Now when you look at this thing, ignore what it is or even what three dimensional shape it has. Look for edges. The edge between the background and the object, The edges internal to the object. Look for the position of these features relative to the others. Keep doing this while you draw exactly what you see. Resist the temptation to draw without looking at what it actually looks like.

Of course once you've managed to look at things properly you'll still need tons of practice with drawing, but just doing this is going to stop you from drawing pictograms instead of pictures.
I like the idea of Pi-hole but I had the same thing, even though I was running it on a VM much more powerful than a Raspberry Pi.
I have it running on an Ubuntu virtual machine on my NAS. You can probably run it on whatever 6 year old board you like

https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/hardware-software-requiremen...
I would have the same concern, I imagine the Pi-Hole is best for households only inhabited by tech-affine people. I installed the uBlock Origin addon for some family members and even there they can be easily confused when a website breaks due to it (occurs rarely, but it happens). At least there I can easily tell them to temporarily disable ad-blocking by pressing that big uBlock button.

I don't think it would be feasible for me to explain to them how to temporarily whitelist things on the Pi-Hole.
As someone who came into all this "after" the editor wars and is now using Vim, these were what I understood were their selling points:

- In Vim, you learn how shortcuts work and how they compose, and then you can apply them to a bunch of new situations and "guess" which other shortcuts apply.

- Emacs can do a whole lot and you can customise it exactly to your liking. Oh, and it also supposedly works really well with Lisp.

Not sure how accurate my view of Emacs is, but the Vim selling point has turned out to be true for me. The Emacs selling point just didn't appeal to me. I don't care for having to customise my text editor everywhere I work with it, and I don't know yet what awesome customisations there even are. I also don't use Lisp (though I'd like to, someday, and might checkout Emacs then).
IIRC the bus of the NIC is shared with USB which is USB (v2) which is 480 Mbps or about half of 1 Gbps. If you care about throughput, don't use the USB ports when you care about it. But either way, 100 Mbps is more than fine for a Pi-Hole. I'd worry more about any possible latency overhead.
Because everyone and their dog has two of those boards gathering dust in a drawer, in hopes of being used for some project one day.
In my experience, most adblock blockers take a lazy approach - it's just a piece of JS loaded together with the main document. So it's ridiculously easy to protect against: just switch off JS with a click and you can read the page in question. Of course it works for documents only - if you need to use an app, things are much trickier and you need to dig up a bit to understand which script you have to block.

I run a Pi-hole (mostly for my phone and paired with OpenVPN and iOS/MacOS content blockers) and run into the same "problem". My advice is to stop patronizing those sites at all. Just like paywalled articles linked on HN, just stop visiting.

Seriously, just stop. It's the only way we're going to move to something less damaging and invasive than the current ad/data economy.

I should note that I do pay quite a lot for journalism and art via subscriptions, Patreon, Kickstater, etc, but I'm not going to tolerate sites clogging up search results with paywalled articles or piles of tracking scripts and media downloads.

For some reason, I was reminded of the message iOS’s original top-selling as blocker posted when pulling their app [1]. (TL; DR They felt bad about denying advertisers their revenues.)

That's a great read. I'm not a hardcore vim user, but like most devs I bump in to it often enough to get somewhat familiar with its wacky interface. I always had this feeling I'm using a legacy tool (in a nerdy positive way) even though it's relatively young. This article shows that my feeling was quite accurate.

So... how, exactly, do they propose tying together a human being with a public key, thus creating a DID, without the use of a central registrar?

As far as I can see, in the end it just comes down to users trusting the same set of registrars — which we already have in the form of Certificate Authorities.

I wholeheartedly disagree. I tried using both the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X and none of them came close to the Pixel 2, UX and feature wise. I couldn't download files, couldn't even change my ringtone to a custom melody, couldn't attach files coorectly, the integration with their Maps app was awful, the battery life drained faster after one update...

The author seems to confuse attacking football with an open style of play. Often, attacking football involves as much co-ordinated movement as a more defensive style of play, which can be as exhilarating to watch if not more so. It is also worthwhile to observe movements made by the "attacking" team during defensive transitions. Football is like a buffet; everyone can help themselves to what they like. It is this quality which makes the game beautiful.
They do at least call it out in the writeup as being poor form. But they don't explain why or offer any alternative...
This is a great historical trace / origin story. And now it all makes sense. But I'm a little disappointed. As someone who came to vim from the world of Notepad / Wordpad / WordPerfect / Word, vim, when I finally learned how to be productive in it, seemed so revolutionary and amazing. I sort of was hoping for a story that justified this feeling, like "Bram had a dream one night where alien greys appeared to him and told him he had a mission for humankind. They then showed him source code for a perfect text editor used in the Aldebaran system for millennia. It's name, they said, would be vim. Bram created it in a non-stop 3 day sprint before expiring for 1 month."
Sorry but a plain ascii version wouldn't have conveyed the same story.

Implementation of a UI patent linking content across views
This, I guess, outlines a domino effect. I don't go to the supermarket for fresh food. It gets delivered to me by the supermarket, and if I can't be bothered to pick for myself, they'll deliver a selection based on my usual shopping pattern, and I know roughly what they'll deliver by default so e.g last week I didn't even open the app to check what they'd added to my order.

I couldn't imagine having to go to the shops every week.

When I am on home wifi, no ads in my mobile thanks to PiHole. So many apps are filled with ads while on the move. Clearly pihole version of web feels more snappy.

There are apps serving the App Add tiles BEFORE they load real content from their own far-away (by latency) servers.
I use a Mac, where most text field by default support at least some readline keybindings, so Emacs knowledge comes in handy :)

You can run emacs as a daemon and run emacsclient -c to open a new emacs window connected to the existing instance.

This is instant no matter how complicated your config. You can also edit remote files via tramp so you never have to leave your local emacs instance.

This means that the proper comparison is instant access to your customized instance with your plugins vs instant access to whatever environment you can sync with all machines you intend to access.
I'm surprised it worked for you. I have an Asus N66W router with 5 blindingly bright blue LEDs. Being in my bedroom, it made it really hard to sleep.

Placing three layers of electrical tape didn't work, the light still passed, although significantly dimmed, through the tape. Also, because the router's case is thin plastic, most of the light leakage was through the case. The only solution was to put a pillow over the entire thing. But in the morning the router had overheated and didn't work until resetting it.

Nowadays I just unplug the router before going to sleep. It's driving me insane.

I do it differently on my own DNS ad blocker: it returns the IP of my "happy" webserver that always returns `204 No Content`, whatever query you send to it. Of course, there's still the issue of https failing, but I've never had any performance issues - much more the opposite actually.

/r/Linux is biased to sysadmin types but there are other communities where Emacs is more popular, for instance in some academic fields (where Mac OS tends to be more common).

Flew domestically in Australia two days ago, and yep - no boarding passes needed for security. Liquids fine, no taking off shoes, no queue (and not even space for one to form). Like a whole different world.
True. But but even if you had double the capacity at half the unit shipment, it would still have used half of the motor, half of the casing, assembly, heads etc.....

In terms of business isn't exactly good.
> and a VPN is probably a better starting point for security than a local blocker. Am I missing something here?

Why? A VPN is just another (S)POF. I'm not afraid my ISP will MITM me. With a VPN, who knows what they log or not? Also, OpenVPN's performance is terrible. If you want to avoid detection of BitTorrent, sure, but then just route only that over a VPN. If your ISP MITMs you, and you're paying them, consider to jump ship.

I see uBlock being mentioned throughout this thread. uBlock Origin is (very) nice, but its client-side overhead and you can't use it on "apps". What I do is catch all DNS requests and forward them to my DNS-based adblocking (I basically run Pi-Hole on an ER-L) and forward that to DNS over TLS (which works with Quad9). This is all used even if I'm roaming (via WireGuard, ie. very low overhead). So it is irrelevant which network my roaming clients use.
Emergency, Fire and Police flashers are mostly blue by convention. Fire, not as much, unless volunteer.

Beyond that, I've always found green lights to be fundamentally, much brighter than any red lights. Tail lights and traffic lights don't shine through bedroom windows nearly as much as when traffic lights turn green. You can see the same effect in black and white photography, but then again, not all traffic systems are the same intensity.

I have a high powered LED flashlight, with a red low-light option, and I find the red LED nearly unusable. I think red, though, is usually a dimmer color than green, when it comes to lighting in the additive color model, and lighting elements.

It's reflective colors that present much less distinguishable differences.
What an odd thing to feel bad about.

> People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don't owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs.

IMHO it's not really (or at least, not only) to provide new, unique perspectives but rather to gather public opinion whether the pros outweigh the cons to the public.

In a democratic system, the public saying "we don't want it" is a valid reason for the gov't institutions to stop a project, no matter if they didn't get a new perspective and still think that the reasons are good.
Same here! Glad other people felt this way.
