It can and does continue to grow. We do not delete content. There is a trove of old (not recently acquired) files on these drives that several members have not gotten around to yet.

I am currently trying to devise a system wherein these different drives can be synced across geographically distant locations. Like a bi-directional rsync system which doesn't remove extraneous files from the destination.

I don't have favorites. Just ones that suck the least.

Firefox does everything anyone needs to do. I don’t understand how some people struggle so much.

I've always wondered what it is that people are doing when they say that FF is too slow or inadequate in some way. But elsewhere in this thread to be found:

There’s only like one notable website I’ve had to use chromium for instead of Firefox.

The website for recalibrating a Google Pixel’s fingerprint sensor. I’ve had to use that website twice, and I just used Microsoft Edge to do it since I can’t uninstall it.

Absolutely wild.

I would use firefox, but youtube is basically unusable on it.

Also wild.

It loads fine for me without CSS or javascript.

Why would you ever want to allow the execution of
adobeDatalayer_bridge.js
adobe_analytics_bridge.js
globalstore_bridge.js
?
Good example of third party trash hiding behind first party domain.

There has been some back and forth between Goolag's countermeasures and Invidious' countermeasures before arriving at the current situation, Invidious seemingly having lost the battle.

From their git issue tracker:

Hello,

Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore. (Some datacenter IPs may still work, but that's a matter of time until they don't anymore.) ... This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.

Capital punishment disproportionately affects males. Capital punishment is sexist.

The problem I've run into is versioning, determining which collection is most "ahead". We've had a large drive which was once used collectively by my family, but with everyone moving around it's been demoted to a more downstream status.

I've resigned myself to just pre planning longer routes to avoid tolls. I am not putting a transponder in my car and I am certainly not going pay for that privilege or to help normalize it.

Actually yes. Really. True peace is not having debt or ongoing payments being demanded of you. Living in an apartment in a city sounds like hell.

They've been dismantling cash toll stops to erect automated readers in their place.

Sorry, I stepped out of my cryochamber just a couple days ago. My energy suit is still powering up.

The non-capitalist solutions have been here all along, mostly things licensed under copyleft. But people just need to have the wherewithal to actually use these solutions.

Lemmy has failed the test.

Fun experiment anyways

The pioneers of this dirty business were overwhelmingly founded by ex-Israeli signals intelligence personnel,

That's interesting. Must be a coincidence.

and related Clinton-era initiatives, like the failed Clipper Chip program, which would have put a spy chip in every computer, and, eventually, every phone and gadget:

"Don't worry, guys we tried to backdoor all devices but failed, see?"

Meanwhile, Intel ME, AMD "Secure Processor", and ARM "TrustZone":

Just traveling between the different megaregions in the US often feels like traveling internationally, but without the hassle of passports and borders. They speak the same language and literally inhabit the same country, but everything just feels different. I can't quite place it.

A bike rack maintains plausible deniability.

Messing with your plates or getting fake plates could land you in court.
