  • We found Elon Musk’s DOGE email address and we’re fighting to reveal his messages

  • On one hand I'm glad someone is still playing by the rules.

    On the other hand I suspect that their FoI requests will be ignored.

  • Searx just proxies other engines, so the results are the same as the upstream results.

    I've never really had a problem with results from any engine TBH.

    The main thing I've learned over the last few years with Searx is that some instances are terrible while others are great. Some are slow, and often get blocked and take days for the admin to get a new IP or whatever. Right now I'm using perennialte.ch and it's been great. They also redirect results at reddit to an alternative frontend which is a nice touch.

  • Yeah I think most of my searches start with the name of the site I want results from.

  • I was with kagi for a year.

    It was fine.

    Their CEO is an asshole though. There was that thing where he went a bit nutty over some mild criticism. I don't remember the details.

    Anyhoo. Searx is nice for the moment.

  • Searx can provide a much better experience.

    For example, on the instance I'm using if a search result is a Google thread, the link will direct you to a redlib reddit proxy.

  • Surely it has to be the paid APIs. You can't build a service hoping Google won't notice your bots running searches.

  • Actually this is how occupy was undone. They couldn't agree on demands and in the end everyone just got frustrated with each other and the whole thing fizzled out. There was conjecture at the time that CIA plants frustrated this process.

  • Least terrible domain registrars

    Jump

  • In case anyone was wondering:

    • namecheap: US
    • porkbun: US
    • INWX: Germany
    • OVH: French
    • onlydomains: NZ

    I personally have been with onlydomains for a decade or so. No complaints.

  • I have a server with OVH. I hadn't realised they're a registrar also.

  • I'm not surprised. Honestly I had wondered why he hasn't already tried this.

  • Sorry, what I'm trying to explain is that protests require specific demands.

    If a protest like this got any traction, companies could just say "ok we're listening, we will think about reinstating some DEI things".

  • It's not just the internet.

    Professionals (using the term loosely) are using LLMs to draft emails and reports, and then other professionals (?) are using LLMs to summarise those emails and reports.

    I genuinely believe that the general effectiveness of written communication has regressed.

  • Take your passkey and shove it where the sun don't shine

    Jump

  • I don't think that's true.

    You can store them in keepassxc which can be accessed with a password.

    I think it's "have" + "know" or "are".

    So you have the device with the passkey, and know the unlock pin or are the person with the biometrics.

  • Sorry, the article you linked doesn't list any demands.

    The closest it comes is this:

    an act of “economic resistance” to protest what the group’s founder sees as the malign influence of billionaires, big corporations and both major political parties on the lives of working Americans.

    This demonstrates my point really. There's a general sense of dissatisfaction with billionaires and with capitalism, but there are no demands. If you're not demanding anything, how will you know when you have achieved your goal?

  • Devils Panties 02/28/2025

    Jump

  • What is the protest though? What are the demands and how will we know when they are achieved?

    The best answer I can get in these threads is to "send a message" of "general discontent", but protests just don't really work that way.

    Decide what you want and figure out what to boycott in order to harm the people that are able to grant it.

  • What is the purported plan here? Are they thinking private industry will pick up everything NOAA is doing?

    There's so many industries that rely on forecasting. Like if you want tax revenue then you need to forecast the weather.

  • I think it's been counter productive in that regard.

    Anyone who put any effort in on the 28th will feel disheartened because nothing was achieved.
