Networking plans:
* Install unbound and cut out the DoH providers that I currently use
* Purchase a VPS and spin up headscale on it

The return of Heavyweight is one of the best and most beautiful podcast episodes I've ever heard -- I laughed, I cried, I even looked up an IG link at the end. Give it a listen!

Among the more fun details: While in prison, Ulbricht sat for 80+ hours of interviews for a documentary he thought might sway public opinion about him. Now that he's out, he has tried to kill the doc for fear it reveals too much.

"Man, I said way too much," Ulbricht said on tape we've heard.

You’ll notice he steps on Gene’s foot so he can’t step away. Again, one of the most despicable and disgusting things I’ve ever seen happen on a soccer pitch.

My current sandboxing workflow:

1.) Enable default firejail profile if it exists. If not:
2.) Try using `private /path/to/custom/sandboxDir/` for a separate $HOME and `/`. If it breaks too many things tho then:
3.) Stick the app into a systemd-nspawn container and call it a day.

Big fan of Linux. I do wish the community would focus more on celebrating the great things and less on putting down other distros or OSes. Starts to feel like an insecure circle-jerk after a while

NEW: Google used to warn you when you were seeing low-quality search results. Then, in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, the company quietly turned that warning off www.platformer.news/google-data-...
The researchers collected their first data in October 2023 and March 2024. Initially, they were struck by how inconsistently Google showed its warnings. A deep learning model they built to analyze the queries suggested that the warnings should have appeared between 29 and 58 times as often as they did in practice. For motivated conspiracy peddlers, they were easy to evade: just adding quotation marks or a single letter to a query was typically enough to make the banner disappear. The researchers were beginning to collect additional data last September when they discovered something unexpected: Google had stopped showing low-quality banners entirely, weeks before early voting began, without disclosing it.
