  • What subscription based services are actually worth the money?

    Jump

  • Mullvad is stellar. I’ve been a user for years and it’s never let me down.

    I strongly disagree on proton mail. If you use a custom domain with a catchall it’s absolute trash. Also possibly the worst email search ever. Don’t even get me started on the proton bridge.

    I lasted a few months (about 8) and then switched to fastmail. Worlds apart.

  • Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days

    Jump

  • The current automation guidelines and defaults renew certs 30 days from expiry. So even today certs aren’t around for more than 60 days, it’s just that they’re valid for 90.

    Additionally you can fairly easily monitor certs to get an alert if you drop below the 30 day threshold and automatic cert renewal hasn’t taken place.

    I use Grafana self hosted for this with their synthetic monitoring free tier but it would be relatively trivial to roll your own Prometheus-exporter to do the same.

  • Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

    Jump

  • Like others I also appreciate threaded comments here.

    But for many niches - forums still abound. I regularly participate in four for specific interests.

    On the flip side I loathe the attempt to replace forums not with Lemmy/reddit-like tools but with Discord.

    Ugh.

  • His latest album is an impressive work of art; a love letter to Puerto Rico.

    It might not be everyone’s jam.

  • You Really Need to See Epstein’s Birthday Book for Yourself

    Jump

  • Didn’t work for me. Got blocked with a subscribe pop up.

    I have a shortcut that automatically gets or creates the links so no biggie - and I prefer the archive links anyway because there’s so much other noise on articles these days.

  • Panasonic dumb plasma is going on 14 years. We’re hopeful we can get about 6-10 out of it.

  • James Hoffman called bullshit on this one and it’s fun to see Huberman squirm in the comments. https://youtu.be/yCJr49GU9yY

    TLDR: it might nonsense.

  • WhatsApp fixes ‘zero-click’ bug used to hack Apple users with spyware

    Jump

  • Wait we’re pretending WhatsApp isn’t spyware now?

  • People Are Furious That OpenAI Is Reporting ChatGPT Conversations to Law Enforcement

    Jump

  • Fair points.

    One thing I think we all miss: what happens when an overzealous government makes something a crime retroactively? Say, um, disparaging two Cheetos in an ill fitting suit masquerading as a world leader.

    That’s part of why we should care about privacy and why we should care when data we expect to be private isn’t.

    Most tech users are victims in a system they don’t understand. We might complain that they don’t want to understand but the truth is the providers don’t want them to understand - as it’s easier to sell them whatever crap they’re shilling.

    Also: wild at heart. Loved that film.

  • JB Pritzker Responds To Mamdani's No Billionaires Message

    Jump

  • Here here.

    We live in a town that’s one of the richest per capita in my country, thanks in no small part to several billionaire families.

    It’s next to one of the poorest where many of the workers are supplied for the billionaires’ businesses.

    Gee, I wonder how all that wealth got “created” or “transferred”?

  • Shows that were only popular in your country?

  • why are website language switchers in the current language?

    Jump

  • We do both.

    A) use the language set by the user in their os/browser B) switcher shows the language name in that language

    Done, easy, etc. IMO the hard part are great translations and designs that work in languages where every word is a novel. And yet, here we are.
