Out of curiosity, has there ever been a teardown of one of these to see what kind of snake oil actually powers them?

PSA: you can request deletion of your 23andMe account. It won’t do anything for this past hack, but it’ll at least prevent your data from being included in future hacks (assuming they actually completely delete your data like they’re supposed to).

I recently read an actual scientific study that found a direct correlation between smell and the length of armpit hair. So your unscientific hypothesis is actually backed by science. I’m too lazy to look up the source though.

If that’s the actual name of the fruit, why wouldn’t it be marketed under that name?

I believe it is already on Tor. But not everyone knows how to use tor, so they also have traditional domains.

I don’t think this accomplishes what he wants. The router DHCP will assign the second DNS address as you mention, but the devices will select one at random, not as a backup/failover. So what happens is that devices sometimes go through the Pi-hole and sometimes go through the secondary DNS address and receive ads. The only real way I’m aware of is to have a second pi-hole for redundancy. Personally, I decided to use a cloud based service (NextDNS) for this exact reason. I didn’t want my families internet to rely on devices that I host.

“This May, the FDA gave the company approval for human trials.”

Wow! That’s scary

This is a great description! I agree, a meteor large enough to destroy a small country is massive!

I have a similar setup to the above. Personally I use Docker Compose and backup up my compose scripts to the NAS.

That last paragraph is great advice. I get so frustrated at times. Sometimes it feels like I need to fix things ASAP when I’m reality it doesn’t matter. In many cases coming back with fresh eyes helps considerably.

Really incredible photo. Is this a single shot, or composite?

Did you take this photo? Is it a real photo or a composite?

I doubt X.org is going to initiate a legal battle with twitter… or has the money to do so

Exactly. I made a GDPR request for deletion. They can get in big trouble if they are soft deleting.

It honestly really depends what your needs are. This is a bit like asking what the best car is. A Ferrari is nice and fast, but wouldn’t be great for a dumpster hauling service. What platform(s) or tech stack are you planning on running?

Amazing. That’s why I asked. This lighting is almost too good to be true. I’m sure it was only like that for seconds. Good work!

Yeah, as a photographer, I was guessing it’s not real. The lighting on the dog doesn’t match the weather.

Interesting that it specifically says WiFi network. I wonder if you could circumvent by having something on your physical network. Or maybe upstream from your own network

From our friend ChatGPT:

Certainly! You're on the right track with your idea of selecting a style first and then selecting a random question based on that style.

Here's how you can structure this on Perchance:

  1. Define the question styles and tips:
style
Decriver ou expliquer au present
Raconter au passé
[... more styles ...]

tipsForStyle
[style:Decriver ou expliquer au present] 
Tip for this style: [Tip for Decriver ou expliquer au present]
[style:Raconter au passé]
Tip for this style: [Tip for Raconter au passé]
[... more tips for each style ...]
  1. Define questions for each style:
questionsForStyle
[style:Decriver ou expliquer au present]
Où travaillez-vous?
Où vous situez-vous au travail?
[... more questions for this style ...]

[style:Raconter au passé]
Comment votre travaille a affecté par la pandemie ?
Durant votre carrière, qu’est-ce qui a été le plus satisfaisant jusqu’ici?
[... more questions for this style ...]
  1. Structure the main generator output:
output
<h1>[title]</h1>
<h2>[title2]</h2>
<h3>[title3]</h3>

<h4>[title4]</h4>


[style]


[questionsForStyle]


[tipsForStyle]
  1. Use this in the HTML area:
<div>
    **[output]**
</div>

With this structure:

  1. A style will be chosen randomly.
  2. A question will be chosen from that style.
  3. The tip for the selected style will be shown below the question.

You can further modify and expand upon this structure to customize the output to your liking!

No idea if they’ve been audited. GDPR doesn’t require it. My understanding is that American companies doing any business or having any users in the EU need to be GDPR compliant for those users. I don’t think that’s been challenged in any courts yet.

I’m not exactly sure how many queries, but it’s above the free limit. I purchased the pro plan. For $20 a year and it’s been a great service for me. I can send a referral code for 30% off (I think). I think adguard has a similar service.

Out of curiosity, how do you accomplish that?

Honest question. Why should it be? Isn’t the actual print of the book a very small fraction of the cost? The majority of the cost is the IP. If for example a book is $50 and the book costs $1 to print are you saying that it should be $49 and that’s the point that would convince you to purchase?
