>'Relies on' implies that it wouldn't work without them

Last time Cloudflare went down, their dashboard was also unavailable, so you couldn't turn off their proxy service anyway.


Me too, I highly recommend Hetzner Storage Box. It's cheap, and it works great (unlike their S3-compatible storage, which has been a huge fiasco since they launched it).

Could you elaborate on the issues with their S3 compatible storage? I've been considering it and haven't seen too many issues in my testing, beyond the lack of identity control.

I cannot say much about the quality, but I am also testing around with it at the moment. As for the identity control, you may be able to achieve this with a few extra steps, if you set up bucket policies for the credentials. For this, it would be a bit cleaner to move the storage box to a project of its own.

I still have to check if this actually works in practice, but I am hopeful. I based it off their documentation here: https://docs.hetzner.com/storage/object-storage/faq/s3-crede...


If you look at the Hetzner status page, you'll always see their status about degraded performance for Object Storage: https://status.hetzner.com/

The main problem is that it sometimes slows down to a crawl, or requests fail altogether.


$1 is not going to stop people from spamming. It's just $1 after all...

I agree. I'm just sad that, since I'll personally never upgrade to Liquid (Gl)ass, they stopped updating NetNewsWire for macOS versions before Tahoe.

I believe they just finished or are in beta to release the new version to older OS.

Wow, I've checked and that's true. I'm supper happy, didn't expect that. Thanks!

There is a new version for Sonoma and Sequoia! I am so happy.

>No camera notch

Well, I see this as a very positive thing.


Yeah, it's funny how it's better than the other MacBooks in a way.

Instead, the screen has big bezel.

Givin a copy of your ID card to a website? Damn. In my times, we didn't even use to provide our _real name_ to websites.

In fact, it was strongly recommended not to give out your real name on the internet.

I'll stand by my opinion that deeply integrating the internet into our daily lives instead of keeping as a "place you go" was a huge mistake.


An additional reason for not browsing the web without uBlock Origin on Firefox or other browsers with full support (not Chrome).

Me too. I'm on Linux Mint now and I love how simple, fast but also customizable it is.

If it's not for some specific games or programs, I don't see a single reason to still use Windows in 2026.


Yeah, between KDE and Cinnamon I can focus on my work and have the desktop environment gently fade into the background. Though some get a similar feeling using stuff like i3, sway or Niri.

I've been buying Google Pixel for almost 10 years now, and Nexus phones before that, and my current Pixel is the last Google phone I'll buy.

The ecosystem is closed, Google is speed-running to 100% evil, they're locking down APK installations, etc.

I need to find a replacement, and with me a lot of tech friends and non-techies that just ask me for advice.

The market is waiting for someone to step in; this is a golden chance for Motorola.


You can install GrapheneOS today on your Pixel.

I wish I could. Unfortunately, I need both Google Wallet (I don't carry a physical wallet with me) and both my digital ID app and my bank app don't run on GrapheneOS.

I'm annoyed a lot by that, but there's simply no alternative that I found.


>how exactly does this kind of individual conversation actually help me?

It doesn't. It just helps the speaker.


That makes me think—why do I enjoy conversations with friends then? What's really the difference between a friend and a stranger? Friends annoy me too, maybe even more often than strangers do.


Your friends are hopefully somewhat invested in you for a non-transactional reason, and have proven to be a non-threat. There's no guarantees with a stranger.


What a bizarre perspective. Have you never gotten any personal value out of a single conversation in your entire life? Have you never made a friend? I don't understand this "all conversations are bad and useless" nonsense. What on earth do you think you're doing on social media?


I'm not saying that all conversations are bad. I'm just talking about the one hour one-sided conversations described in the article.

One of the basic rules of starting conversations with other people is letting the other person do most of the talking. People like talking about themselves. So the old lady in the article violated that rule. That isn't to say that just talking to people instead of actually talking with them will never work. You might be lucky and the person you talk to just happens to be very interested in what you want to tell them, but it is rather unlikely.

Once you have shown that you are interested in someone by listening to them and thereby learning about them, you might sometimes find that they might also be interested in something you can share with them. The easiest way to get someone interested in you is to first get interested in them.

It's a pretty simple principle, but since people like to talk about themselves they often do not follow it.
