Haven't you noticed any drastic reductions in speed?

My rpi 3b (not 3b+) just couldn't handle it. It had 2 users. Our DNS resolution times increased by about 200ms. It was awful. I stripped it back out and haven't bothered trying to set it up again.

(Other details: the RPI was hardwired, wireless disabled, and it was a fresh raspbian install with zero customization outside of adding pihole.)

is there any security concerns with the pi itself? say your computer is infected with a really bad malware. it takes over your host, ignores your right to block out noise, and then the idea that pi-hole will be able to as a last resort block it out?

There’s a lot of scala teams around, especially in finance.
The thing is, do those costs surface to the other units of business that drive dev decisions? Product might feel the pain, but do marketing and business get it? Do they feel the perils of lost opportunity cost, unclear requirements, technical debt and slow work?

Often, dev and product are slaves to the business machine that only cares if the money keeps flowing. At many places, the dev team is not an equal partner with an equal seat at the table. Paying down technical debt is often an unpopular notion when "we could be making money".

You really need the entire company to understand what it means to develop software.
Does this work at all for location history? My web activity has nicer controls like "delete after 3 months", but Maps keeps everything years after I learned and disabled the 24/7 location tracking from my old Android phone.
That’s fair, yes. I merely meant that Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolatw Factory, Esio Trot and many others are much more deliberately children’s books than just about anything by Pratchett

> Is it the historic innovation, American culture in general?

LOL no. Pretty much all European industry was destroyed by world ward 2, they then had to buy from America and help improve their industry to beat the Nazi. Not trying to belittle American contribution to ww2 which was obviously massive just pointing out that America "lost" one harbour but pretty much every European country lost pretty much every industry they had.

After ww2 America had an industry with loads of spending money, they innovated while every one else was rebuilding. The rest of the world has been playing catchup ever since with varying degrees of success.

Since Europeans, Americans and China are all as brainy as each other its really hard to catch up unless you can make a sacrifice Americans cant for example sacrifice your peasents as cheap labour. It looks like China will beat America with this attitude, when it does will other countries adopt Chinas "winning" attitude? or be left behind?
See the original discussion and also original blog post, to which Proton is signally failing to respond.
Because it's not that the top 10% have roughly comparable amounts of wealth: instead it's that the 1.1%-10% have roughly the same amount while the top 1% has concentrated their power even further. I think "less bleak" is a bit tongue in cheek, but at least it could appear to be less concentrated if just just looking at the top 10%.

Ha! This is probably because there was a request from a high paying user for implementing some arms dealer specific flags in the system, and some smarmy developers felt the need to stay in character (using their SFW promotion centric face) and raise complaints.

In a work environment at a publicly traded company with a humorless HR department, even posturing can lead to profoundly stupid and robotic, deterministic or inelastic outcomes, where fear of consequences conducts a signal like a bucket brigade passing the buck to its logical destination.

So, there was a conference call, Camping World got the memo, the communications department changed published policies, and then journalists ears perked up, and now it's a shit storm.

DDG should warn about that.
Apple allows alternative web browsers and email clients. They also allow encrypted person to person messengers like whatsapp that terrorists can use to plan attacks.

Any of this type of client app can and will be used for the worst things in the internet. So far Apple has not tried to censor it, I’d be surprised if that changed but we will see.
> Owned by Facebook and Twitter for the most part

Add Apple and their walled garden to that list. When Intel first attempted to introduce "Trusted Computing" in the early 2000s, there was a huge outcry. Few years later Apple comes along with something that is much more restrictive, and now people are happy to accept that you can only do with your device whatever the manufacturer allows you to do.
Couldn't apps start hard coding DNS servers to avoid pi-holes?
Is this speech available somewhere?
I have my router setup to act as a dns resolver and cache, with the pi-hole (rpi 3b) upstream. This fixed my speed issues as only a few queries actually make it to the pi-hole.

The router has a secondary dns server as well in case the rpi goes down (which has happened ~2 in the last year or so) or I need to fiddle with it.
A Facebook group exists in a meaningful grey area between "discussion" and "publication". To argue otherwise is wilfully obtuse.

Just take a look at social media.

A false story will propagate and get thousands or hundreds of thousands of retweets and likes and spread like wildfire. The correction? Maybe a few hundred if you're lucky.

Sometimes I feel like we're living in a real life block chain. Whatever version of a story gets out first becomes the immutable truth. Nothing you can say or post has the ability to change that or reel it back in.
Interesting. How would this integrate into a network running DNS Resolver (i.e. Unbound) in pfSense?
After Much Effort, an ‘Unbreakable’ Record in Straight Pool Is Topped
I would say that you may have a setup issue with your router. My resolution times decreased when the pi-hole is providing DNS responses. I have 30+ devices on a 3b+.
I'm using a UniFi setup and both WAN and LAN point to the pi-hole local ip address.
> Yeah the PCRE situation is a bit unfortunate.

Indeed. In all likelihood, it's a CVE waiting to happen.

> we would have to patch PCRE to handle what Julia considers invalid characters to be

Sorry, did you see my links in the previous comment? This is already available in the JIT engine for PCRE 10.33, and appears to be making its way into the standard interpreter as well. So long as both Julia and PCRE implement UTF-8 correctly, both should be on the same page with respect to invalid UTF-8 byte sequences.

> but it may be better to just reimplement regex functionality in Julia, which is non-trivial, but that way we naturally get correct treatment of invalid data, JIT, and support for other string types.

Yup, this is what I did for Rust, which can work on both completely valid UTF-8 and arbitrary byte sequences. But it is a ton of work. I'd get as much mileage out of PCRE2 as I could.
This would be nice if you were in a discussion about privacy with someone. You could ask if you could borrow their computer for a moment, then visit their myactivity page and show it to them.
I've owned paper copies of Murray Spiegel's Schaum Outline of Mathematics, and even the government-funded Abramowitz-Stegun doorstop, this reminds me of those somewhat, but the title is misleading as it has as much physics and chemistry as mathematics.

The only real solution is to fill your history and your Gmail purchases with fake emails and fake clicks and fake purchases. If you add so much random data then there's no way Google can pick up anything useful.

I think the other tactic to defeat Google is to click on EVERY SINGLE AD you see. It will destroy their ad tracking capabilities and it will also destroy their business since they won't be able to tell what is a good click and what isn't. I've started doing this and I don't think there's anything else that can get them to stop actively violating our privacy.

Let me pay for my Gmail account. Let me pay for good support instead of automated decisions and getting kicked off the platform with no recourse. Otherwise I will render myself useless to your algorithms by changing my behavior so that algorithms won't be able to make sense of it.
What's wrong with "assault-style"? It correctly describes rifles that are designed to look like their actually select-fire military assault rifle counterparts, but that are just semi-automatic themselves. It reflects that what's being talked about is the aesthetics, nothing more.

What name would you recommend instead?
I actually think that might be a good idea. I feel like a lot of people's privacy concerns would would be muted if browsers defaulted to private browsing.
In the very best of circumstances your approach would be optimal. And in fairness at later rounds or M&A this is what you hire an I banker for — To create an auction.

But the great majority of firms raising a Series A aren’t so obviously “Fundable” that they can reliably gin up a parallel set of term sheets. Consider that if it takes 30 VC outreaches to average one TS, what would it take to average two within an overlapping two week window (realistically these things expire)? A lot more than 60 I’d bet.

Another thing about this is that these aren’t bandits or oracles or black boxes you’re doing some kind of algorithmic search on. Ideally each pitch you do will give you feedback and practice to hone the pitch, market feedback on the actual underlying business, and possibly even introductions to helpful others (customers or rarely investors; VCs tend not to pass along deals they rent investing in because of signaling effects but intros / sharing does happen).

So a Series A raise is a path dependent process.
Terrestrial Mg mining produces just shy of 1000 tons per day.

To terraform Venus's atmosphere with MgH2 in 1000 years, the robots in the belt and near Jupiter would have to process roughly 3.6e17 g per day, which is hundreds of billions of tons, hundreds of millions of times more than the entire Earth mines in a day.

You would need a lot of robots.

The project would have to be an AI capable of the following:

- Run for 1000 years without failure.

- Build robots that can build robot-building robots.

- Build robots that can build robots that mine S-type asteroids.

- Build robots that can build robots that mine hydrogen from Jupiter or its moons to make MgH2 and CaH2.

- Build robots that can build robots that patiently move bulk cargo around the solar system.

- Build robots that can build robots that electrolyze water in Venus orbit.

- Build robots that can build robots that defend and repair the project infrastructure.

- Build robots that can build robots that build and operate orbital shades, lenses, and mirrors.

- Fairly allocate the surplus by-products to human bidders.

The project would be a significant source of cheap aluminum, iron, nickel, silicon, sodium, potassium, and oxygen, as well as as much magnesium and calcium as is needed for ecosystem life support in space. Enough Ca and Mg to make all the bones of a billion animals is an insignificant fraction, compared to the amount required for terraforming.

The attention span of a human is already too short to spend 100 years moving tons of boring old rock to a rendezvous orbit. The goal has to be to set up a system that benefits humans to allow it to continue without interference, rather than one that requires cooperation.
This is in fact very popular among both YouTube channels and podcast producers. It makes a lot of sense for an advertiser to pick a producer who matches their market and have that producer create an in content advertisement. I am fine with this. The content producer wins, the advertiser wins, and the viewer wins by getting better ads by someone they want to support.
Product Level Zero
I think the problem also is that Google scans incoming emails sent by non-google users who haven't agreed to such scanning. (Edit: also with personal domains, a sender may have no idea if this email will eventually find its way on Googles servers)

> at least if you believe the news and Google's public statements, it doesn't use the contents of your email for ad targeting.

True, but its important to note that it used to do that for many years. They didn't make it clear if they removed information mined from previous scanning of emails.

This is what finally prompted me to move to Fastmail after being on G Suite since 2007. Even though I have to pay for Fastmail and was grandfathered into free on G Suite. Pretty happy with it so far.

Not sure I'll go so far as use DuckDuckGo fulltime, but maybe i'll give it another try.

Who tells everyone to use that scale though? You're presented with a row of stars. Expecting people to read winds up being a big ask.

Also, those categories are subjective as well. What's the difference between "bad" and "really bad"?

Mutual graded rating systems suck. That's all there is to it. Because no matter what, it turns into currency. "Yes/No" and then base a rating on that. Rotten Tomatoes had it right from the start.
I disable auto-update and get my software from a computer not associated with me. I compare checksums to copies that friends have and checksums on virustotal.

For linux software, I validate GPG checks of individual packages and of the rpm repo. Both packages and metadata are signed. I get the public key from a non mirror site and compare to keys listed by others.

This does not preclude back-doors, but it means that everyone has the same backdoor as me. I then mitigate dial-home of said programs with firewall rules and selinux. If there is a hard-coded key, it will also affect all the companies and governments using the same software.

>If adults enjoy his writing, in what sense are they children's novels?

In the sense that novels by people like Joseph Conrad or J. G. Ballard are not. 'Empire of the Sun' was one one of my favourite novels as a young teenager, but it was hard work in comparison to Pratchett. The difference in intended audience was utterly clear.

This is the biggest favor you can do for yourself. The developer experience is as easy as production without descending into container induced madness.
Why hasn't anyone, or pi-hole themselves, made a public DNS that does this? Pass everything not on the blocklist thru to 1.1.1.1.

The fact that this requires special hardware, bash commands, etc is severely limiting the audience. The more people blocking ads the quicker the internet changes.

Edit: thanks for the replies!
The point is to have an immutable source to compare against. If you suspect a video is faked, you can find the verified original video that was used to make the fake and compare against it.
I installed the beta for macOS and I'm not happy about it.

It installed a daemon that updates Edge even when the browser is closed. Even if you delete the .app the daemon keeps running and when there is a new update it downloads it and installs it.

Citizens don't have an absolute right to have all data erased on request.

The comments are still needed and being used for the purpose they were gathered for, so this fails the first point in your link

> the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

If there is identifying data in the comment you can email the mods and they will (I think) redact it for you.

Most usernames do not identify a natural person, so that means most accounts fall outside GDPR. If they do identify a natural person I think you could email the mods and they'd change the name. (Obviously I have nothing to do with HN so I can't tell you what they will or won't do).

tl;dr most accounts aren't covered by GDPR and the mods will do stuff with the ones that are.
You'll need to be able to install Raspbian, run the install script, give it a static ip address and configure your router to use that ip address as its DNS server.

I can't possibly imagine housing not being treated this way as long as the population is growing.

And it's not really even housing that's driving the issue, it's LAND. In some form or another, basically everything of value that's not IP (and arguably even IP) requires land use.
Why was this comment dead? From this article (https://steigerlegal.ch/2019/05/23/protonmail-real-time-surv...) it appears to be true:

>In its transparency report, ProtonMail explicitly mentions the possibility of real-time surveillance („ProtonMail may also be obligated to monitor the IP addresses which are being used to access the ProtonMail accounts which are engaged in criminal activities“). ProtonMail even mentions a current case of real-time surveillance:

>"In April 2019, at the request of the Swiss judiciary in a case of clear criminal conduct, we enabled IP logging against a specific user account which is engaged in illegal activities which contravene Swiss law. Pursuant to Swiss law, the user in question will also be notified and afforded the opportunity to defend against this in court before the data can be used in criminal proceedings."
Your argument does not appropriately address the concern. Donating real cash to an effort actually helps. Withdrawing CRM software from gun retailers does not accomplish anything to reduce gun violence. Virtue signaling, as a term, is intended to address instances where the social signal is more highly prioritized than the action itself. The action was specifically to fire some of Salesforce's customers over a political motive.

This is pretty awful. A bad assumption to make was that by turning off all activity monitoring this would have also been stopped. You can delete these items by deleting the email itself but that's a ridiculous burden to put on the end user. Oh, you don't want us to know you spent hundreds of dollars on baseball tickets? Better delete the email invoices.

I felt this was a very important message in the article that could be useful in many more areas of life than cold fusion research or even application of the scientific method.

I do agree that people shouldn't be selling half-baked ideas, but I also know that often, funding is a necessary requirement for scientific breakthroughs.
