  • Thank you - that sound good :)

  • How can someone get his data out of the system? I'm always hesitant to try software like these - I have been burned by software where it is easy to put in your data and hard or impossible to get out.

  • What sources is this searching for books?

  • That happens a lot. There are a lot of people doing open zoom meetings and webinars. So you might have a webinar about "how to install solar on your roof", organized by some organisation or a public zoom meeting for some online community. The link will get posted on socials and everybody can hop into the call and listen to it. Some other examples are in the article.

  • Yeah, that's the problem: There is no paywall-busting archiver that doesn't DDOS. If you know one, let me know.

  • Paywall free, but makes you part of a DDOS attack

  • It totally depends on your living and garden conditions. If you have the space and the current climate for it you can totally use your garden to save money on groceries. This will not feed your whole household but can help to save some money and make everything more resilient. Plant an apple tree and you will maybe not have apples this year, but in the next year you can get your first apples. My tree is now 4 years old and is growing several kilos of apples every year and will for the next decades. Plant a cherry tree. Raspberries. Redcurrant. Other fruit trees. Those plants will grow every year and provide you with a lot of healthy food and will not take that much time to grow and cultivate. So it is a great time to start - you might get some results later this year, but next year will be great.

  • It's spring in most of the northern hemisphere and therefore the next months are the best time to start a garden. Yes, chances are that you won't feed your family from it. But it's fun, it is a great way to get fresh food and if you have the option to do it, you should

  • Thanks, I hate it

  • I prompt injected my CONTRIBUTING.md – 50% of PRs are bots

  • But what is the purpose of this? So people are setting up bots that are sending PRs to open source projects, but why?

  • Yeah, that's a problem. So even if you want to search your local newspaper, you won't be able to because of bot protection. Your crawler will be blocked. You also can't put the whole of Reddit or even Lemmy in your search index.

  • It makes sense - a self-contained device can be circumvented. A connected solution is much, much harder to fool

  • Time to start self hosting

    There is simply no usable self-hosted search engine. There are some projects like Yacy or Searxng, but they do not have their own index. And having your own self-hosted index is kind of impossible because you need to save the whole of the web on your own devices to be able to search it.

  • The fact that a multi-billion dollar company publishes a post like this shows how bad things have gotten.

  • That's totally on your hardware. All those DVD burners you can buy do work.

  • Yeah, i have no idea how all those people are doing their work. I need a big monitor or two, a good keyboard and a nice mouse!

  • That also means that all those apps which are embedding those location trackers are illegal in Europe and other countries. There is no way for someone to give his informed consent to sell his location data to the fucking FBI just by clicking a button.

  • Yeah, I think one issue is how this aggregate data is being provided for download. Is it really "this user has listened to this song on this day at this minute", or is it kind of an aggregate data like "users who listen to Metallica also listen to Pantera" and "the most listened song for Taylor Swift is shake it off"?
