This seems great! I've been wanting to try out Pi-Hole for some time now, but I was concerned about how it might impact the other members of the family who would get annoyed if it made other services stop working. Thanks for making a free beta available as well!

Your setup page is fantastic! Especially appreciate the status indicating if it is set up correctly on the device I am using. I set it up on Linux, which I notice you don't have a tab for, but that should be pretty straightforward to add. (Even though Linux users may, typically, know how to do this themselves, it might be nice to include Linux as a signal that it is truly cross-platform.)

I noticed inconsistent results on Android depending on whether I had it set up via Intra or as DNS-over-TLS in the native Android settings. Internet browsing was similar to on desktop, either way, but my concern is mostly related to video apps, specifically the ones my family use (Hulu, YouTube, CWSeed). On Intra, all the video apps seemed to work but there were still ads in all of them. For DNS-over-TLS CWSeed stopped working entirely, saying "video playback failed". Hulu and YouTube still worked but they also still had ads, while on Desktop they did not!

These are the sort of issues I was concerned about when considering using PiHole for the whole house. Are these things that can be mitigated on your end, or will they require per-device apps to be installed, and potentially even require rooting the device?

(Incidentally, how is it that YouTube and Hulu get around the ad blocker on Android?)
> Weird, we will have a look.

What's "weird" is that someone thought to mandate third-party map and chat javascript widgets on what should have been a simple page explaining what the combination of Cloudflare and PiHole is.

I would look to help a marketing team in an organization that promote reducing consumption, marketing is in my view the best shot we have to tackle environmental issues. Once living with a small house not heating too lunch and using public transport will be trendy, lots of people may change their way of life. Now where do you find them? I would start looking for activist artist.
There are, very broadly speaking, two strategies for tackling climate change:

1. Innovation (e.g. find new and better sources of energy)
2. Mitigation (e.g. reduce energy consumption)

For example the Tesla Solar Roof is an innovation strategy whereas planting trees is a mitigation strategy.

Although we really need a combination of both most companies tend to focus on a single approach, so I'd suggest thinking about which type of approach you'd like to work on.
Look at the history of the makers of Candy Crusher game. You could just be on the verge of success.
The Trillion-trees campaign claims it'll offset at least 10 years of anthropogenic emissions.

While not directly answering the question, here are some ideas for purchasing, donating, creating new positions, and hiring people that care:

Write more efficient code. Write more efficient compilers.
Optimize interpretation and compilation so that the code written by people with domain knowledge who aren't that great at programming who are trying to solve other important problems is more efficient.

Push for PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) that offset energy use. Push for directly sourcing clean energy.

Use services that at least have 100% PPAs for the energy they use: services that run on clean energy sources.

Choose green datacenters.

- [ ] Add the capability for cloud resource schedulers like Kubernetes and Terraform to prefer or require clean energy datacenters.

Choose to work with companies that voluntarily choose to do sustainability reporting.

Work to help develop (and popularize) blockchain solutions that are more energy efficient and that have equal or better security assurances as less efficient chains.

Advocate for clean energy. Donate to NGOs working for our environment and for clean energy.

Invest in clean energy. There are a number of clean energy ETFs, for example. Better energy storage is a good investment.

Push for certified green buildings and datacenters.

- [ ] We should create some sort of a badge and structured data (JSONLD, RDFa, Microdata) for site headers and/or footers that lets consumers know that we're working toward '200% green' so that we can vote with our money.

Do not vote for people who are rolling back regulations that protect our environment. Pay an organization that pays lobbyists to work the system: that's the game.

Help explain why it's both environment-rational and cost-rational to align with national and international environmental sustainability and clean energy objectives.

Argue that we should make external costs internal in order that markets will optimize for what we actually want.
The temperature differential between what the hottest chips can accept, about 70C, and the environment suggests this is a highly inefficient source of energy, due to Carnot limits.

I wish people would go for the big guns, fully renewable energy, nuclear, electric transport, green concrete and steel - the major issues instead of wasting time and money recovering 10% of what some coal power plant supplied to their data centre.

It's better than nothing but very close to nothing. It's a pervasive way of thinking in green engineering, every bit helps but what we need is BIG help:

Even when contacts are found to be void or voidable due to things like unfair bargaining conditions (such as the inebriation of one party) that doesn't allow that party to escape all consequences of the contract if the sober party was acting in good faith (they were unaware of the condition).

> After all, if that party had no way to know that the drunk or impaired person was not sober, it may have suffered a harm by entering into the contract and performing in good faith despite the other party’s impairment. Thus, it may bring claims sounding in equity (i.e., fairness under the law) called “quasi-contractual claims.” Quasi-contractual claims include things like unjust enrichment, quantum meruit, and others. In essence, they are claims that allow a party to recover when it has, in good faith, performed as though a contract existed, even if it did not or if the contract was void or voidable.

> This is the golden age of computing.

I disagree. In 1995, I picked up an issue of BYTE and marveled at the coverage of microkernel operating systems and RISC processors. New and exciting things were on the horizon! Now, I see only decadence. Hardware has stagnated for a decade. Software has less functionality while using exponentially more resources. Compare the Windows 10 Settings app to the Control Panel, which first debuted with Windows 95. Or the OneNote UWP app, which is now discontinued, to previous versions of OneNote. Key functionalities have gotten worse. Chrome's PDF handling is so awful that I spent weeks searching for a PDF viewer that's as good as Acrobat 10. To my shock everything was markedly worse--slower, less reliable searching, etc. I finally installed PDF XChange Editor and it was like a breath of fresh air. Not only does it search PDFs correctly, but it highlights the results and shows indicators of hits on the scrollbar! (Apps these days don't even have scrollbars.)

Apple has given up on the Mac, and now it only gets iOS hand-me-downs. One of my great regrets is that I didn't get get my first Mac until 2007, and missed out on a big part of the Mac's heyday. I remember when each new release of OS X came out, I'd carefully read John Sircusa's intensive review on Ars Technica. The PDF imaging model in OS X 10.0, hardware accelerated compositing in 10.2, fine-grained locking in 10.4. That was 15 years ago! Kids who were born then are stealing alcohol from their parents' liquor cabinets now and the only cool thing to happen to OS X in their lifetime is APFS.

There are highlights, no doubt. Rust is a breakthrough. Apple's Ax processors bring desktop computing power into impossibly small form-factors. Pervasive mobile broadband has enabled a lot of new applications. (But the best software stack for leveraging that capability is a direct descendant of NeXTSTEP.) But it's few and far between now.
The only reason we can see them is the solar panels - right? Well, let this generation of Starlinks go up as they are, and once they are out of commission in about 5 years, send up the next generation. Instead of using solar panels, they will use small nuclear reactors that will enable much higher power, potentially higher orbits, higher bandwidth, longer life etc. If you want to go NIMBY on the light, you should embrace nuclear power sources.

> The algorithm is secondary to the user group.

Neither is secondary; both are essential to the socio-algorithmic evolutionary process.

The algorithms are intended to optimize toward some user group behaviour. As the user group's choices influence the behaviour of the algorithms, so too do the algorithms' choices influence the behaviour of the user group.
In other situations, flaws and enhancements to a library would be handled with new API/versions on that library itself. Not (an|a series of) entirely separate librar(y|ies). Big difference in discoverability.
In my experience, the first cloze option should be something easy to guess. For example, take the text: The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

The sun rises in {{c1::the}} {{c2::east}} and sets in the {{c3::west}}.

Since the first card is easy to guess, the cloze card effectively becomes the tutorial. It makes it easy for people to use cards made by others.

Because it helps explain why events that would have ended any previous US Presidential administration can happen multiple times a day, but not even move the needle in the public discourse.

Anyone who pays attention to American politics lately has been experienced the Overton Window shifting a lot.
Yes, I can also google "can you kill grizzly bears with a handgun" and look at the first result. And I can also google "pepper spray bear success", which tells me that:

> "Red pepper spray stopped bears’ undesirable behavior 92% of the time when used on brown bears, 90% for black bears, and 100% for polar bears.
> Of all persons carrying sprays, 98% were uninjured by bears in close-range encounters.

Which then raises the question: which deterrent is the most successful, gun or pepper spray?

> And in serious bear country, serious people carry serious long guns, a 12 gauge shotgun with slugs, or a centerfire rifle with a significant payload. And it's easier to shoot those well under stress.

Source? Sure, I guess it's "safer", but also way less practical in many situations. 99% of the time, just making noise and let the bear do its stuff without bothering him suffice to avoid any issue.
Nice, and open source. Bravo and congratulations. Such a nice step beyond bookmarking webpages.

I have created https://idorecall.com/ a web app (soon to work in mobile browsers too). Unlike Polar, you upload your learning files (Word, PPT, PDFs and image files as well as videos on Youtube) into iDoRecall and read them there. If you see a concept that you comprehend or a fact that you want to remember, create a spaced-repetition flashcard (we call our RECALLS) linked to that fact/concept. Then when you practice your RECALLS, if you forget an answer, click a link and the original source file/video opens at the exact linked location where you created the RECALL. Refresh your memory and quickly get back to your practice session. I wrote a few weeks ago about my life experience that led me to create iDoRecall: https://medium.com/better-humans/how-to-unlock-the-amazing-p...
You are met with hostility because what you are saying is absurd. I don't think any reasonable person wants to bring the web back to what it was in 1999. Lots of things about the web have gotten worse, but same could be said for automobiles. The collective usefulness JS brings to the browser is far more valuable than the problems it creates.

Also, to keep this all in perspective, we are talking about one company that made egregious engineering decisions to maintain their market leadership which has put their customers at risk. To say we should do away with JS in the browser because Intel made some really poor decisions to undermine their competition is just crazy. As far as I'm concerned, this is typical Intel and they are getting what they deserve yet again. I just feel bad for their customers that have to deal with this.
Just to be clear, I was not meaning to imply that pendulum isn't better, but rather that not everyone uses it. Nor does everyone use requests, although it's very clearly better than what's on the standard library.

Discoverability is a very big issue in general, and with these libraries in particular. I for example have been working with Python for almost a decade and follow the community quite closely, but can't recall hearing of pendulum before. Last time I investigated this, the cool libraries to use were arrow and delorean. How are people expected to keep up to date with every cool new thing?
Few random thoughts as someone who mentored many junior engineers:

- don’t care about your pride. You’re here to learn, so do everything you can to learn. Imagine even the worst possible scenario - people get fed up with you - you’ll go and find different job (benefits of being in a booming industry). Your old coworkers won’t follow you but knowledge will

- don’t think about all the time you spent looking for answers yourself as wasted. Some if it was, but you learnt also tons of other things that may not be relevant now, but will be in a future

- ask your mentors not only for direct answers to your questions but also for reason and/or how they came to that conclusion. Most important skill for you to learn is how to think about problems and how to find solutions, not the actual solutions to few problems you came across
There is a proper solution, and that is to show the actual URL. If that hurts URL shorteners and trackers, so be it.

I wonder how true this is across human languages and cultures.
I don't see any reason why we should allow these satellites, if we're talking about literally mass polluting the night sky.

What they provide is a service that's already widely available in first world countries, and is seeing rapid increase in availability in third world countries (well, most of them, the US seems to be stagnant).
I wish I shared your optimism. I keep worrying we're going to see a repeat of Ontario's provincial election.
Manage their PC, apply good security measures to it (use pihole, browser selection, disabling extensions, use extensions that prevent phishing). Teach them elementary online security and how to use a password manager.

On a more OOtB note, have all their web traffic route via a web proxy that will prevent phishing, MITMs, scan against viruses etc.
The nice thing about not eating meat is that it's a non exclusive effort. It's just something you integrate in your routine and you can still try to curb carbon emissions at the political level if you think it's the best course of action.
Was hoping this would be a calculation of a financial cost. Any idea how much that could be and how much would the consumer have to pay so that Starlink is profitable?
Not cheaper than 1 EUR/week

I'm sympathetic to this and we'll be bringing up a version in the EU and also adding E2E encryption at some point. Just not sure of the schedule at the moment.

Right now though you can use it on a local disk and do a git commit of the whole thing:

https://getpolarized.io/docs/git-sync.html

The downside is that you have to restart every time. I'm not going to do inotify due to scalability issues I've had with it plus Windows/Linux/MacOS differences are going to kill me.

If you're using the cloud version (in the future when we have encryption plus the EU datacenter option) it will also support partial sync which git doesn't support now. This way you can keep just the most recent 500MB on disk.

Also, Polar is OSS so I'm anticipating others writing Filecoin, S3 and other backends in the future.
How do the two compare, which do you like better?

I bring it up just so that people are aware and can make their own decision about risk/benefit when choosing to deploy the software. There is obviously room for opinion on the matter and I specifically am not claiming that the project is bad or should be avoided, just that people using it in a default config out of the box know the risks that that presents.

The “be advised” is just that.

It’s not a big deal, and I think I only mentioned it once before.
My parents are pretty old and technically illiterate. My absolute nightmare is for them to wake up one day to an empty bank account. Right now, they double check every financial email with me. We actually managed to thwart 3 phishing emails this way!!! They are preying on seniors pretty hard. They usually get the email addresses from online quizzes and other thin apps.

>you would get $300 per month. That would equal the increase in prices you'd see at the gas pump, your electric bill, and in products.

That doesn’t make sense though. What’s the incentive to switch to a lower carbon tax if you get all of the tax rebated to you at the end of the month? If you don’t get it all back, then it’s not equal to the price increases.
That is not going to give your career back, a few news site still have their wrong reporting on Nick Sandmann.
Good summary. I think one of the unspoken concerns is with the "look up the best libs for the job" step. How do we ensure that the up-to-date information is easily found in that lookup? Stack Overflow is a huge search sink for stuff like this, and has never taken the deprecation/evolution problem very seriously.

Maybe not in this exact case of dateutils vs. pendulum, but it's really easy to find outdated information on the web and struggle to confirm whether it's still the best answer.
Get them a linux laptop, or a ChromeBook and enable 2FA on their Google accounts.
I continue to find great content on HN, but the quality of the conversation/comments has unfortunately decreased significantly over the years for me. Unfortunately it appears to be a trade-off of scale vs. quality.

Lobste.rs is an alternative that hasn't passed that point yet, so I recommend it.
Some of it has to do with the code base but some the UI.

Anki sync is slow, often requires full re-sync.

I also don't like how a lot of the core functionality has to be implemented via plugins.

This is being too negative though. Anki is great. Nothing is perfect. It has a lot of features that nothing else out there has.

It's kind of like an old and reliable battleship that can't be sunk. (I mean this in a good way).
Correlating brain size to intelligence or complexity is a common amateur mistake. Let’s for a second pretend all animal’s brains are black boxes, and we can neither see nor measure them. Instead, let us say we can only judge brains by their impact on the world. Would you then not put humans so far above the other animals as to make it almost silly to compare?
