If you are running an onion service but don't need to hide the server IP, like you do if you also provide clearnet access to the same server, you should enable single hop mode [0] to reduce the load on the Tor network and also speed up the connections. This way your server directly connects the introduction and rendezvous points while the client still stays anonymous with a 3 hop circuit.
The reason why OSM doesn't have it and Google does isn't because Google crowdsources it. It is because Google is straightforward to work with for the companies who provide that data, and OSM is impossible.
Yes, there are companies whose job it is to get opening hours to various sites. Someone like Walmart will write a contract, and send a regular spreadsheet. The company then processes the spreadsheet, and pushes data out to Google, Facebook, Apple, and so on.
I know this because I was the lead developer at one of those companies for a while. Everyone except OSM is happy to accept an address, maybe a suite number, and then information about phone numbers, opening hours, holiday hours, and so on. OSM insists on detailed geolocation data. If you don't have it, then they won't take your data. Period.
You have the name and address of the mall, and a suite number? Facebook will just report that. Google will take your data and separately figure out how to map out where it is in the mall if it is important. OSM refuses to take the data.
You have data from Walmart with every Walmart address, and every department's phone number, opening hours, holiday hours, and so on? Apple, Yelp, and so on will love you for it. OSM tells you that they need the store layout.
We asked OSM about it. Their answer? I kid you not. "Send someone to the store and map it out then." They really have no clue about how much sending someone to the store costs, and how little these intermediary companies get paid to provide the data. What they demand. Will. Not. Happen.
What OSM should do is provide a way to accept that data in a feed, then let any volunteer tie the feed to the geomapped location. That way between a local volunteer and the companies that supply everyone else, they'd get the standard data that everyone else has.
They don't. After looking at the economics, we had to go hat in hand to Walmart and apologize. "We know that you wanted to be on OSM, but this is what it will take to do it. We can't do that, and we're going to have to take the penalty in the contract."
Yeah, you heard that right. Walmart wanted to cooperate with OSM. But because OSM put roadblocks in place for us, it didn't happen. Not due to lack of popularity to crowdsource information. But because OSM developers have their heads firmly up their asses when it comes to figuring out how to deal with businesses who actively want to deal with them.
sometimes porn fails a copyright infringement claim because it can be argued that the particular piece of work doesn't satisfy Article 1 Section 8 of the US constitution backing the copyright concept "To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;"
It's still unsettled case law because it's only troll law firms that are challenging on behalf of porn copyright holders, and they never appeal.
NextDNS is nice and easy to use for us, a family -- non-technical spouse, two kids with access to devices for schools, 'games & stuff'. I ran Pi-Hole on a Raspberry Pi 3 for about a year and it is one of the best ever there. I wanted something simple and something I can just clicky-click.
Been testing NextDNS for quite a while and I like it. Will continue as long as it serves what I'm looking for.
On a different note, unlike most of us, my wife and kids are worried that they can no longer see those 'interesting and useful' ads. They go on to those ads, spend long minutes browsing from one to the other, propelled by ads. My kids discovers 'these amazing games' via the ads. It is a different world out there.
I was developing VPN client for one of the popular VPN provider in the past for iOS and the solution was quite simple - enable on-demand VPN for 0.0.0.0/0
In this case, iOS will always wait until connection to VPN is established before sending any packets out.
Without on-demand, VPN may leak.
If I remember correctly, leaks occurred mostly after waking from sleep but before the tunnel had chance to be set up. Or in similar situations. Anyway, on-demand option solved all of them.
It may or may not be fraud as the letter of the law, but this is definitely the shadiest part of the story. Also a pretty lame thing to do.
It would have been much more elegant to add some crazy overpriced option to your pizzas where you could make a huge margin. Like "gift wrap +$100" which would mean putting a $0.01 ribbon around the box. You could make much more money this way from Doordash with less hassle than switching certain orders to plain dough.
I've made AirPods last longer than any other pair of earbuds I've ever had.
It's the cord. For me, a max of six months of fiddling with the damn thing and it breaks.
I've had real headphones last quite a bit longer— but I buy the ones with replaceable cords. The pair I still have is on its fourth cord and second pair of muffs.
I don't view it as any sort of economic, human, or environmental catastrophe, that they stop holding a charge after... how long again? I've had a pair of Pros since before the pandemic which seem to hold up fine.
So I'm around what, twenty cents a day? It's a rare day I don't wear them for a solid hour.
It undermines the argument to pick the easy, lazy, and really rather bad example that everyone else flocks to for some bizarre reason. It's genuinely hard to come up with a better product category for glued-in batteries than in-ear wireless headphones.
So was Apple being disingenuous this whole time about privacy? Presuming they plan on using all the data they capture from their users iDevices for their ad platform. Is there a way to opt out of that?
Pulley | Real Estate & Construction | full-time | remote or in-person (SF) | withpulley.com
Pulley helps real estate developers break ground sooner and build more housing by securing construction permits 10x faster. Today, permitting takes months, is different across 19k+ jurisdictions, and involves dozens of forms and thousands of rules. We’re building the first software platform for developers & builders to get permits for any project type, in any jurisdiction, faster.
We’re hiring for founding engineers & founding designers. We work in React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Nextjs.
We’ve raised $4.4M from Susa Ventures, BoxGroup, Fifth Wall, Nat Friedman, Ryan Petersen, & Zach Weinberg and we've been profiled in Techcrunch. Our founding team hails from Amazon, Google, Procore & AngelList. We’re working with top developers in Texas and growing revenue quickly.
Both roles are great for folks that are hungry for broader scope & faster pace, enjoy the ambiguity and challenge of building 0-1, and want to help define core products & teams.
If interested, reach out to founders[at]withpulley.com or see my email in my profile.
I read the article expecting to see terrible actions by Amazon fighting the union.
Instead the article was about the Teamsters union convincing local governments to block Amazon from opening buildings, and Amazon "fighting back" by increasing their hiring of needy ex-cons and minorities from local colleges, ending their marijuana drug tests, and otherwise working to ingratiate themselves with their comminities.
The Teamsters don't come out looking like the good guys...
Ive made https://webide.se that gives you a Linux shell on a shared machine. I count on Linux to be secure by default. So users are free to do whatever they want except email spam, dos attacks, and crypto mining which is blocked by iptables. Im working on giving each user their own IP but for now incoming connections are proxied via http proxy and unix sockets and wildcard domain name so that foo.user.webide.se is proxied to /home/user/sock/foo
Similar services use Docker containers or VPS for user isolation.
Is this the same supersonic as supersonicads? If it is, the only time I have ever seen them is basically convincing children like me at the time to download malware in exchange for $0.01 in free to play mobile game credits...
The ads they served were absolute bottom of the barrel awful, no legitimate brands, not even like clash of clans or anything - half their 'offers' were lockscreen ad APKs that installed themselves as unremovable device administrators that would kill play store and settings if you tried to open them.
If you played F2P games, mobile games, korean free MMOs probably starting from a few years ago, maybe half a decade ago, you will likely eventually remember SupersonicAds, Peanutlabs, Tapjoy (also purchased by ironsource), Matomy.
SupersonicAds would collect IMEI, ESN, etc as long as they could https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_events/122... + wrote code bad enough and delivered their loaders over plaintext http to the point that google play was blocking apps including their sdk at one point
Arduino's approach has historically been to sell breakout boards for commodity microcontrollers. They do not have any history of success in any of the fields they're proposing to enter, and particularly not in IoT services or AI.
Arduino has made approaches to industry before, e.g. with the Portenta series of boards. They have generally been unsuccessful, in large part because their approach to industry has generally been "look, we're using industrial temperature range ICs" -- hardly a compelling offering.
They had a booth at the 1999 Game Developers Conference with scantily dressed young women in skunk costumes. They tried to convince me that The Sims should support smell, because the iSmell would enrich the user experience of all those blue puddles of piss on the floor, stopped up toilets in the bathroom, and plates of rotting food with flies buzzing around on the dining room table.
