The headline is misleading. It only applies if you want to watch videos tagged 18+.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Sorry, I didn’t realise it was paywalled. It didn’t prompt me to pay when I opened it. It’s not a source I usually use, but I couldn’t find an alternative unless from much less reputable sites.

I think the law would only apply above a certain number of monthly users, so small platforms are safe from it for now.

That one works. Thanks!

I hadn’t heard of this before, so I tried a few public instances listed on their GitHub repo. They’re all throwing a json error. Do you have a link that works for you?

Archive.is works by saving snapshots of pages, unlike 12ft, which just stripped the paywall on the fly. With very new pages, a snaptshot might not be saved yet. In that case, go to the home page and use the box to ask to make a new snapshot now. It will take a minute and then you should see it.

There is a selfhosted tool called 13ft which does exactly that. But in my experience, there are paywalls that it doesn’t succeed to get around but 12ft.io could.

In particular, Notion employees are saying that they are not listening to audio from your microphone, but just checking whether other processes in the system are using the microphone. There is a setting to disable this entirely.

Copy-pasting from the thread:

1. Notion records audio only during your use of the Meeting Notes feature. Here are the docs: https://www.notion.com/help/ai-meeting-notes

2. Notion desktop app has notifications about meetings that ask you if you want to use Meeting Notes, it recognizes this by detecting that your microphone is on (i.e. it does not listen to audio coming from your microphone). This feature is a setting in preferences btw, under Notifications > Desktop meeting detection notification.

The Notion desktop app will observe if there is a process running on your computer that is actively using your microphone, such as Zoom.

I’m using the latest version of the app and I don’t see this setting. I’ve also never seen these meeting notifications. It’s possible that you only get them if you have AI features enabled in your workspace, which I don’t. (I read a while ago that you can email support to ask them to disable it. I wrote a short email, and they replied within a day that it had been done, no questions or push-back.)

I recommend Borgmatic, a declarative way to set up borg backups. I find it much nicer than a having a backup.sh script and the configuration is really straight-forward.

Yeah, I think it might be some kind of rate limiting. In another thread, it happened to someone else after batch-downloading videos with yt-dlp, which also prevented yt-dlp from downloading. Then it was back to normal (no sign in required) a few hours later.

all you have to do is circumvent the security settings in your browser and suppress warning messages

I think this is a very important point that too few people are raising and it’s getting buried under the spam of “switch to Firefox” messages. Yes, switching to Firefox is an option. But clearly some people don’t want to do it, and we give them these workarounds without saying what they really do and without highlighting that they are potentially dangerous. You use your browser for a large part of your interaction with your computer, so any downgrade in security is going to be significant. To me, the short-term implications of this are far more important than the longstanding Chrome-vs-Firefox discussion.

I agree. This style of handling is common in newer NFS games and probably what I miss the most from the older games. I particularly dislike the grip-vs-drift upgrades, especially since drift is mostly “press X to drift”.

That being said, I did find some cars fun to drive in once they’re tuned a little, and I liked that different cars could have significantly different feel, which unfortunately can’t be said about all NFS games, especially the newer ones.

The soundtrack is horrible. An yet, it feels like a masterpiece compared to Unbound’s soundtrack…

I thought the same until I played Heat a couple of years ago. Heat is solid and definitely reminds you of the golden age of NFS with Underground and Most Wanted.

If you don’t want a GUI, dockcheck is an easy way to update many containers at once from the CLI.

Are you using Kitchenowl for storing recipes? If so, what’s your experience with it?

I’ve tried Tandoor, the common suggestion for recipe management, but I’ve found it too clunky to add recipes to. I like the concept, but it would take a long time to move all my recipes into the specific format they use, and the web UI does not make things easier.

If the data is “irreplaceable”, you shouldn’t keep only a single copy of it.

It seems the users are explicitly making the posts public. I know it’s cool to hate on Meta, but the issue here seems to be more that some people don’t understand the consequences of making public posts on the Internet.

The Edge 20 series isn’t on the list and it’s only about 2 years old…
