If you’re happy with how Apple Password works for you, I can recommend StrongBox. It keeps all data in a KeePass2 database and integrates into Apple’s AutoFill API. That means it feels almost native when using it. No browser plugin needed. (At least not for Safari.) And you can decide how you sync the database file.

I prefer the term “sophisticated text completion”.

Doesn’t get any more secure than a battle-tested web server hosting simple MP3 files and a text file.

Convenience might be a thing, though. I’m in the Apple ecosystem so their Podcasts app shows that feed on all devices and tracks listening progress, etc.

If I didn’t have that, I’m still a lifetime customer with PocketCasts and PocketCasts Web. So, that’s that. But if you don’t have anything similar in place, a self-hosted streaming server might be the best way to go, yes.

Do you need a web player? I’ve got several years of a radio show on my web server and wrote a script that created an RSS feed for them. This way I can open that in any podcast player (even web based ones) to listen to it.

Does the paper take into account the energy required to compile the code, the complexity of debugging and thus the required re-compilations after making small changes? Because IMHO that should all be part of the equation.

I’m pretty happy with Downie (and Permute to directly convert media to whatever format I like). So far it downloads everything I throw at it. And you can create custom download handlers (using JavaScript) to make it work (without interaction) with sites that are currently not supported and would spawn the user-interactive downloader.

If you just want to download and don’t care about a nice GUI, yt-dlp probably has similar features.

it’s rotting peoples critical thinking

@gork is this real?

Can you, though? Because I remember when DVB started in Europe, they’ve sent a signal during commercials that makes your device block the fast forward feature.

I don’t know whether that’s still a thing. But you needed a hacked firmware on your TV / set top box to allow to FFWD through commercials back then.

Same here. And I’m waiting for them to finally do it because it’ll free up so much of my time. I might start reading books again.

Also, it’s the last Google-service I’m using. So, banning me from it will allow me to finally delete my Google account.

If you’re on macOS, there’s blocs. It seems to pop up on BundleHunt for a fraction of their normal price every once in a while.

Then, there’s RapidWeaver Elements - which just went into Early Access.

However, you might want to evaluate whether a static site generator or some small CMS like GRAV can work for you.

A quick search says it’s an NZB site: https://usenetreviews.org/nzbsites/tabula-rasa/

EDIT: And here’s a Reddit discussion about it.

The glasses will include cameras, microphones, and speakers for real-time interaction, allowing users to make calls, get directions, enjoy music, and benefit from live translations.

I can do all that with my AirPods already. What would I need those glasses for?

Despite “AR” features being absent, do they at least have a simple display in them - similar to the Even Realities G1?

Yeah, I can’t imagine they do this single piece of glass approach they came up with in those designs…

Same here. It’s probably easier to print out the QR code(s) for your home wifi network(s) on a piece of paper and hand that to guests when they come over…

It was exactly this and people were furiously pointing it out in the comments.

Masters of Deception: The Gang That Ruled Cyberspace

I loved that book!

No, the LIDAR is an infrared laser. Invisible and harmless to the human eye, but a phone’s camera can pick it up. And due to the intensity, if going too close, it’ll burn out the pixels of the camera sensor leaving permanent damage.

Here’s a great demonstration: https://x.com/niccruzpatane/status/1924485047580586294

You mean cyclists?

Looks very much like KDE Plasma. Not sure which distro, though.

Just wanted to throw Kate into the mix of suggestions…
