Yes, apparently their protocol sends everything to every node, so it would overwhelm anything but a very powerful and expensive server. The Fediverse’s ActivityPub protocol is more efficient and only sends traffic where it is needed.

Canadians have always traveled to the USA to to a bit of sneaky bargain hunting. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this start going the other way.

I don’t think you can call landlines from it though.

I only used Skype for one thing: cheap calls from Canada to international landlines with no time limit and without having to pay a monthly subscription. Can anyone recommend a good alternative? A lot of the options out there look a bit scammy.

Not all of these mini PCs have a wifi card in them even if they have the antennas for it. You might start by opening it to check whether the wifi antennas are connected, or whether you need to add a WiFi card.

I think OPNsense would do what you’re looking for. I use it on a mini PC as my router, and it’s great, but I have not used it for WiFi (I run a separate access point). The limitation is WiFi hardware support. You will need to make sure your mini PC’s WiFi card has a driver in FreeBSD. Intel hardware is often a better bet than Realtek etc.

They do have categories, via the menu at the top:

Your taxes, straight into the pockets of Sam Altman and Larry Ellison.

Large chunks of the EU are hurtling rightwards too, unfortunately.

I know you don’t want to pay for their sync service and this is the self-hosted community, but I just wanted to note that they service does work well and gives you access to note history. I decided to pay because Obsidian is excellent and I wanted to support it. I just wish it were open source.

This site has an archive of all the NYT Connections games:

I was joking. Don’t do this.

I managed to get in and change mine last night. So you just have to keep hammering that refresh button until you overcome whoever this asshole is that’s DOSing the site. Maybe even do it on several computers, and write a script to help.

Edit: Joke, don’t do.

This article is from 2018.

Many of our home customers’ feedback indicated a preference for the certainty provided by an annual plan. The annual plan offers assurance that you always have access to the latest version with innovations such as improvements we’ve made in compression speeds and algorithms. It also ensures you have access to critical updates and are protected against new threats and risks.

I think they made that up. I highly doubt their customers expressed any such preference.

$20 per month would be enough to discourage me. It’s another relatively costly computer-related subscription and I already feel like I’m losing a battle to keep those minimal. There would have to be some very clear benefits for that price.

But it’s glitchy, the numbers don’t work, and you’ll notice the player never looks behind them.

I watched the video and there are two scenes where the player turns to look directly back where they just came from.

Every company is still doing this even though studies have shown it puts customers off.

If it works like most AI ad engines, it will keep advertising more of the same Ford car you just bought.

As I understand it, that project spanned several planned generations of chips and this was to be the first of them. So yes, this is part of the cancellation of his whole project.

It’s wise to wait and see, given their recent history.
