Mozilla review of 25 car brands finds they're "a privacy nightmare"
  • I don't know if there are zero Renault in the US but Mozilla themselves say that Renault aren't sold in the US:

    While Renault cars haven't been sold in the US since 1992, their cars are big in Europe, South and Central America.

    So it is kind of strange to hold it against them. On the other hand that doesn't seem to be too important because nobody cares about what they signed or not.

  • Mozilla review of 25 car brands finds they're "a privacy nightmare"
  • Thank you for that link and Thank you to Mozilla for doing those tests. I always suspected something like this but it is good to have it tested and in writing.

    My only gripe with the article is this:

    All of the car brands on this list except for Tesla, Renault, and Dacia signed on to a list of Consumer Protection Principles from the US automotive industry group ALLIANCE FOR AUTOMOTIVE INNOVATION, INC.

    Renault and Dacia aren't available in the US, so there is really no need for them to sign those principles. Which makes Tesla the only one where this is relevant.

  • Self hosted Google Keep alternative
  • I use Nextcloud with Carnet. I haven't used Keep in years so I don't know the current features but when I made the switch to Carnet it was very comparable.

    On Nextcloud it is an app you install separately. For your phone you'll find Carner on f-droid. Sadly there is no client for iOS. Link https://www.getcarnet.app/

  • TIL during the early days of the internet, companies tried to prohibit linking to some of their sites. The linked site linked to all of them during half of 2002
  • I don't know that specific site but lots of porn sites used to do those "preview of the day" things with a date or iterator in the URL.

    I remember writing a simple script/page (must have been around 2002) where you could just paste a URL with wildcards and the wildcards could be iterated from x to y. It even checked if the generated linked page existed or threw http errors. It was amazing, how many links I collected and never visited again. The things you do for porn...

  • So, how many lemmynsfw.com communities have you blocked?
  • I block basically all of the cartoon porn. Just not my cup of tea.

    Weird thing though: I subscribe to a very few communities there because I like the occasional nudity in my news feed. Browsing by Subscribed I almost never get posts from there even though they are active. Only every now and then something comes through. I wouod expect a slightly higher frequency.

  • How to connect an iPad to a Nintendo Switch for a bigger screen
  • I got a laptop with a USB-C port which supports external monitors. Does anyone know what I would need to use my iPad Pro as a second monitor with this port? Or would I have to use the HDMI port with peripherals like in the link?

  • Help with wget: linked files in different folder

    I need help with wget and I hope to find it here. My goal ist to mirror a site (the soon to be replaced website at work) and I tried to do so with wget. I am totally able to mirror the pages and filter out the unwanted file types.

    My problem is this: on several pages (e.g. /internal/forms) there are linked files like this /files/12345/form1.docx. So wget doesn't save the file in the folder internal/forms but creates a new folder files/12345.

    I understand why this happens but I really need the file in internal/forms and I can't find a solution - is there any way to achieve that? Thank you so much for your help!
