  • Wikipedia may have to impose quota on number of UK users to comply with Online Safety Act

    Jump

  • Sorry, I didn't realise it was paywalled. It didn't prompt me to pay when I opened it. It's not a source I usually use, but I couldn't find an alternative unless from much less reputable sites.

  • I think the law would only apply above a certain number of monthly users, so small platforms are safe from it for now.

  • Removed

    12ft.io down?

    Jump

  • Archive.is works by saving snapshots of pages, unlike 12ft, which just stripped the paywall on the fly. With very new pages, a snaptshot might not be saved yet. In that case, go to the home page and use the box to ask to make a new snapshot now. It will take a minute and then you should see it.

  • There is a selfhosted tool called 13ft which does exactly that. But in my experience, there are paywalls that it doesn't succeed to get around but 12ft.io could.

  • Notion Desktop is monitoring your audio and network

    Jump

  • In particular, Notion employees are saying that they are not listening to audio from your microphone, but just checking whether other processes in the system are using the microphone. There is a setting to disable this entirely.

    Copy-pasting from the thread:

    1. Notion records audio only during your use of the Meeting Notes feature. Here are the docs: https://www.notion.com/help/ai-meeting-notes
    2. Notion desktop app has notifications about meetings that ask you if you want to use Meeting Notes, it recognizes this by detecting that your microphone is on (i.e. it does not listen to audio coming from your microphone). This feature is a setting in preferences btw, under Notifications > Desktop meeting detection notification.

    source: I work for Notion

    The Notion desktop app will observe if there is a process running on your computer that is actively using your microphone, such as Zoom.

    I'm using the latest version of the app and I don't see this setting. I've also never seen these meeting notifications. It's possible that you only get them if you have AI features enabled in your workspace, which I don't. (I read a while ago that you can email support to ask them to disable it. I wrote a short email, and they replied within a day that it had been done, no questions or push-back.)

  • all you have to do is circumvent the security settings in your browser and suppress warning messages

    I think this is a very important point that too few people are raising and it's getting buried under the spam of "switch to Firefox" messages. Yes, switching to Firefox is an option. But clearly some people don't want to do it, and we give them these workarounds without saying what they really do and without highlighting that they are potentially dangerous. You use your browser for a large part of your interaction with your computer, so any downgrade in security is going to be significant. To me, the short-term implications of this are far more important than the longstanding Chrome-vs-Firefox discussion.

  • What else should I self-host?

    Jump

  • If you don't want a GUI, dockcheck is an easy way to update many containers at once from the CLI.

  • Are you using Kitchenowl for storing recipes? If so, what's your experience with it?

    I've tried Tandoor, the common suggestion for recipe management, but I've found it too clunky to add recipes to. I like the concept, but it would take a long time to move all my recipes into the specific format they use, and the web UI does not make things easier.

  • The Meta AI app is a privacy disaster: Meta's AI App ‘Discover’ Feed Publicly Exposes Private Chats Without Users Knowing.

    Jump

  • It seems the users are explicitly making the posts public. I know it's cool to hate on Meta, but the issue here seems to be more that some people don't understand the consequences of making public posts on the Internet.
