Yeah I (and my fiancée) are also Audible users — this app is mostly for cases where an audiobook or even e-book don't exist, like for older books you might get from a used bookstore or library. I'd prefer to set the price point lower, but if a user uses their 250-scan quota (which can be up to 500 pages, since you can scan 2 at a time) fully, I'll actually be losing about $10 on them that month, so I'm hoping not everyone uses their full quota!

That said, I'm expecting OCR, LLM, and TTS API prices to continue coming down, at which point I'll be able to drop the price and raise the quota. Honestly I suspect iOS itself should be able to handle this use case well sooner or later, but until then, there's this app :).

I love tilt, but it feels like I'm doing something wrong when I write a whole new tilt deployment yaml.

I _think_ this space just hasn't matured enough to have settled on standard solutions. Between dev, CI, and staging/prod, it feels like you're defining variants of the same objects and topologies over and over. Some things try to take on dev+CI or CI+deploy (dev+deploy anyone?), but I haven't seen an answer for the whole thing that "feels right".
Are there allow lists for services such as Apple TV. Do smart tvs not fall back to hardcoded ipv4 addresses?
There's a lot of advertising activity that ublock doesn't catch, but Pi-Hole does. Usually it's tracking APIs rather than ads themselves.

It's also useful for clients where I can't install client-side adblocking, ie smart TVs (which try to phone home a _ton_ of advertising/analytics information). I also don't use client-side adblock on my work laptop (can't install unapproved extensions) nor my iPhone, so Pi-Hole still lets me browse ad-free on those.
Just as reminder, Chief US Justice released his "year in review" on acceptance of LLM / GPT systems within legal practices, and that it will likely enable access to the law by more-and-more commoners. The entire six pages is worth the time reading [1].

At least on macOS I found that if:

DNS Server 1 = Pi-Hole

DNS Server 2 = ISP DNS Service, OpenDNS, your router whatever

when pi-hole blocks the ad's DNS query, macOS will treat that as a DNS failure and use DNS Server 2 as a fallback. Resulting in the ad being shown.

Doing (A) was my first attempt and at least using a Ubiquiti router, if Pi-hole blocked a DNS query it would always fallback to the secondary DNS server. In my environment, the only way I was able to get pi-hole to work consistently was to set the pi-hole server as the only DNS server in the DHCP server.
The paradox of globalization is that it benefits the ultra wealthy of every nation but only hurts the working classes of wealthy nations.
That is for people of all ages.
FWIW I had to undo B) just yesterday. I thought the same thing about resolving records in order but it does not. I didn’t dive too far in, but my proxy server would occasionally query my router instead of the pihole for DNS requests. Maybe I just did it wrong :)

For the record I was assigning these DNS server IPs via docker compose. So perhaps that makes a difference.
I'm saying I can close exhaust flaps and switch map to make it quiet.

Because I appreciate not everyone wants to hear it.

OPs catch-all argument would ban my modifications.

My entire experience as an American has taught me that rules are for someone else to follow. For instance, I get made fun of for following the speed limits. Jobs have taken labor laws as minor hindrances to be worked around at best or ignored outright - these people seem to be finding work after all, aren’t they?

I’m not super comfortable with it either, but it seems to be a country where opportunity is placed above the law.

MAU != Active Devices

One user can own multiple devices. My friend owns an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods as well.

Also, the timeframes are different. Apple consider any device which pinged one of their services within the last 90 days to be active. So it's approximately 1 month vs 3 months in terms of the window of measurement. And we're not even getting into the possibility of devices pinging their services that aren't in true active usage, i.e. an iPad that's just charged and connected to WiFi but not actually used.

Of course, that's still extremely impressive from Apple! It's an amazing achievement which the market has obviously rewarded. But it's very much apples to oranges here. Those two statistics can't be directly compared because they represent different measurements over different periods of time.
Not sure what you're talking about: the window manager "like Gnome or KDE" was added in Windows 1.0. And while it was kind of a wrap on top of a command line application back then, just as it still is on Linux (I believe), Windows 95 got a completely standalone desktop/graphic subsystem which didn't ran on top of anything except HAL; console/DOS subsystem was its foster sibling, so to speak.
I think my loud car is OK when it isn't loud. When I switch map and close the exhaust flaps.

Yes this is a very valid point, on a technical level it's definitely a 2-step thing. From a product perspective I'm framing it as a "this app reads books out loud to you" but if I start hearing about people using it to grab the text out (which is possible right now) I'll definitely consider paying more attention to that use case.

A simpler solution: Deploy one Pi-Hole instance and then set clients to use Pi-Hole as the primary resolver and your ISP/router as the secondary. In the rare circumstance that the Pi-Hole device is down, you fallback and get the "normal" ISP DNS service.
I think it's a way of thinking about things, rather than a true/false description. e.g. VMware virtual hosts make good cattle - in some setups I have worked on the hosts are interchangeable, move virtual machines between them without downtime. In others the hosts have different storage access, different connectivity and it matters which combination of hosts are online/offline together, and which VMs need the special connectivity.

The regular setups are easier to understand, nicer to work on. The irregular ones are a trip hazard, they need careful setup, more careful maintenance, more detailed documentation, more aware monitoring. But there's probably ways they could be made regular, if the unique connectivity was moved out to a separate 'module' e.g. at the switch layer, or if the storage had been planned differently, sometimes with more cost, sometimes just with different design up-front.

Along these lines, yes DNS is not NTP but you could have a 'cattle' template Linux server which can run your DNS or NTP or SMTP relay which can be script deployed, and then standard DNS/NTP/SMTP containers deployed on top. Or you could build a new Linux server by hand and deploy a new service layer by hand, every time, each one slightly different depending how rushed you are and what verison of installers are conveniently available and whether the same person does the work following the latest runbook or an outdated one or going from memory. You could deploy a template OpnSense VM which can front DNS or NTP or SMTP instead of having to manually login to a GUI firewall interface and add rules for the new service by hand.

'Cattle not pets' is a call to standardise, regularise, modularize, template, script, automate; to move towards those ways of doing things. Servers are now software which can be copypasted in a way they weren't 10-30 years ago, at least in my non-FAANG world. To me it doesn't mean every server has to mean nothing to you, or every server is interchangeable, it means consider if thinking that wasy can help.

Welllll...

OK, so from 1985 with Windows 1.0 until 2001 with the release of Windows XP, consumer versions of Windows were built on top of MS-DOS. For the latest releases -- Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me -- DOS was bundled together with Windows to make a complete operating system product. But before then, up through Windows 3.11, you had to say 'win' at the DOS prompt to get into Windows.

But the thing you have to remember is that DOS was barely an operating system. It had a rudimentary file system, support for a single process, and no memory protection to speak of at all. You could bypass the OS altogether to directly access the hardware; most DOS applications, especially games, did just that for everything except file access. So Windows actually provided a lot of operating system functionality that DOS didn't and called down into DOS routines for file access.

(In fact, you could even chainload an operating system like Linux from DOS. A program called LOADLIN.EXE let you load and run a Linux kernel from the DOS command line; combined with special file system support called 'umsdos' that overlaid Linux file semantics on top of the DOS FAT file system, this meant that you could run full Linux, from DOS, in your existing DOS partition!)

But even then -- starting in Windows 3.1 (or 3.11, I forget which) a new feature emerged called "32-bit disk access". Windows provided its own routines to handle the DOS file system while it was running, eliminating the need to call down to DOS at all. This was optional on Windows 3.x but the default on Windows 9x (including Me). So DOS was relegated to the role of a bootloader for Windows and a compatibility layer you could escape to for the old DOS programs people still wanted to run (like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, and such).

So Windows started off as a layer on top of DOS, which was command-line driven, but once loaded it became most or all of a graphical, multitasking operating system in its own right. And it had its own, built in window manager; matter of fact it had more of one than Mac OS, in which user application code had to handle things like moving, resizing, and closing windows (for which utility functions were provided).

Windows NT, which consumer versions of Windows from Windows XP onward were built on top of, has existed since 1993 and that's its own thing, having a 32-bit fully preemptive multitasking kernel with memory protection, user permissions, and the whole bit. It was used primarily in server applications before Windows XP.
Except HSBC knows 99/100 of the time, those bidders in PRC are actually wealthier bidders and that the irregular paperwork is perfunctory to the fact that the system has spend decades building loopholes for said wealthy PRC buyers with developed methods of capital flight, which has always made them better candidates than "honest" Canadians. Occasional fraud doesn't have outsized effect to the very real fact that there are simply more wealthy PRC buyers than Canadian ones, and sellers/bankers/ everyone who gains in the transactions wants it that way. Honest Canadians with 200k household income and 10% down can't compete against PRC buyer with millions of slightly illiquid assets. These PRC buyers are the same as rich Indian/Iranian/insert elite from other country buyers, there's just a shit load more of them and they have to jump through more hoops due to capital controls on PRC's end which Canada RE system is all too happy to ignore.

My experience with OSX and Pi-Hole doesn't match your experience. There's a difference between appearing to be in a failure mode (i.e. timing out) and returning blocked (null/0.0.0.0) results.

Downvoted because holy cow you're out of touch with reality if you think that a $1M windfall, or even a 'meager' 40k/year wouldn't result in lifestyle change for a lot of people.

I really don't want to be mean, really, but for most people that wouldn't be just a 'boost' for saving, that would lift tremendous financial stress about the future.

At one point in my life I had a financial windfall that was many, many time less than a million, and yet it resulted in me not living month-to-month, and be able to for example buy a new computer if needed, within worring about rent and eating pasta for months.

I'm not saying loud exhausts are good all the time. I'm saying they shouldn't all be banned, because it isn't black/white.

Sure, for example Roger Ebert's review of "Shallow Grave" complains that nobody he knows is anything like these characters. I'd watched and greatly enjoyed the movie by the time I read that review, but he's probably right. However all the people I lived with at the time were way too much like those characters.
Strength training is probably the number one predictor of long-term quality of life. I wish I could recall where I read it so I could offer more than anecdote, but essentially the ability to carry weight is a predictor of your ability to balance and not fall. Lifting weights also increases your bone density which lowers the risk of falls.

In many cases a bad fall precedes deteriorating health and lowered quality of life until the person is ultimately rendered unable to move on their own.

Energy intensity is an issue with hydrogen steelmaking. To produce hydrogen by electrolysis at the large scale needed for steelmaking requires a massive amount of electricity. Ideally it needs to be green electricity as well.

So if there is a lower energy way of producing green steel it is at least worth exploring.
