Abiotic Factor. Looks like it should have come out in the early 2000s, but so tight.

Ignoring lint issues comes to mind as an at least somewhat reasonable use case.

I just bought a drive from them last month (from Canada) and just received a $60 duty bill. The time before that I got nothing. YMMV

Yep. Prior to last year if person X told me person Y was antisemitic, my opinion of person Y would have dropped.

Today? It’s about a 33% chance for each of X, Y or both being pieces of shit.

I think that’s my main complaint with the game. Once you find a way to beat the boss, you just go for that build every time. It’s so punishing and the path to get there is so long, that it’s a massive disincentive to try new things.

I’m currently using Unraid for pretty much every thing you listed, and I love it so much. I really appreciate being able to set up almost everything through the web interface. It makes my hobbies feel fun rather than just an extension of my day job.

That said, I bought the licence before they switched to a subscription model. So if I were starting over I might look into free alternatives.

You can still buy a lifetime subscription for Unraid, it’s just a lot more expensive.

The Firefox example is actually the reverse, Firefox funds the Mozilla Foundation. This is a case of an open source project successfully monetising through search referrals (mostly from Google).

The mere fact this technology exists gives legislators a tool in their toolbox. I could imagine a future where the EU mandates use of PPA in certain circumstances.

This is incredible. Truly hats off to the folks at Astral. Can’t wait to try all this out and replace all our old bespoke tooling.

I wouldn’t recommend talking to your cat about Satanism. The best bet is to just hope they never find out about it.

You may not care about financial shit, but that doesn’t change the reality of the situation. My point is precisely that the financial costs are so prohibitive, that the most likely scenario is that no one will be capable of stepping up long term.

As soon as there’s another spectre level security incident that requires a massive rewrite of the engine, any rendering engine developers with sub 100M budgets are sunk. Frankly 100M is probably being optimistic.

Cool makes sense, thanks for the reply! And yeah, I don’t think I’m quite there yet.

Out of curiosity, what’s the benefit of splitting those?

I’ve been meaning to try Caddy, but I just can’t even imagine something simpler than NginxProxyManager.

I too am skeptical.

Mozilla cares a lot about performance. It is monitored obsessively and there are entire teams dedicated to squeezing out every last drop of performance. Heaven and earth would be moved for a 30% perf boost. I’m guessing either there’s some very severe tradeoffs to these prefs, or setting them somehow breaks the methodology used to obtain this number.

Edit: also benchmarks can be notoriously misleading. I don’t have any opinions or knowledge on basemark (the benchmark used to get this 30% number), but speedometer v3 is the most state of the art and generally agreed upon benchmark for performance these days.

That doesn’t mean the 30% number is bogus… Just that it should be followed by “…on basemark” rather than implying it’s conclusive to overall performance.

This is the best take I’ve seen on the whole kerfuffle so far.

I don’t think anyone is asking you to stop blocking ads. Block away!

I think the only request defenders of PPA are making, is please don’t actively prevent it from making things better for everyone else.

Yes, all great points. But you’re comparing the wrong thing. The comparison isn’t PPA vs no ads. It’s PPA vs being personally targeted by ad companies. It’s clearly a step in the right direction.

Or I can tell advertisers to eat shit and give them nothing, like I’ve been doing my whole life. Has been working well so far

Now your getting it! Yes, just keep using an ad blocker and tell advertisers to fuck off! That’s exactly what we can all continue doing, and this PPA stuff will have 0 impact on us. But it will improve the lives of everyone not using ad blockers.
