Dude right? Came here to say this.

You’re right, in just speculating why a screen could be there. Seems overkill, even if it ran the icee machine itself

Probably so they can easily swap out flavors or mark OUT or OUT OF SERVICE, etc

Touche.

And yeah thank you for the info. I didn’t get much of a chance to dig into it at work, but I did config the rasp pi for blue. Will mess more tomorrow.

Given it’s doing far more than DNS, it makes more sense to run on a beefier RPI. The banana pi is there group behind the eblocker hw, and those boards are custom diy routers and industrial type setups.

I’m excited to see what it’s capable of. Right now, I run a pihole at work for about 400 devices handling 1m+ queries in a 24 hours period without breaking a sweat. Arpi is about as equipped as a basic home router anyway, so here’s hoping is promising!

Still, a dramatic improvement over Outlook. It’s been a while but never seemed to play well. Might set this up

This still looks really good!!! Thank you!

My question is: While privacy seems to be increased with federated platforms, are they really that much more private? Do bots and web scrapers still track contents of various instances/servers?

I’m guessing the data can be tracked well enough even though less details about each user are required. Obviously with reddit you can limit only so much info about you with the account. Lemmy and/or other platforms, are they really better?? Sure, maybe not Meta owned, bought and sold for users’ data, but likely still data being harvested in some manner.

I gave up on RSS a long time ago because Outlook basically just linked a bunch of news articles, didn’t really good me anything to read without going externally.

Are you saying this would take those article details and organize into a usable proper website from multiple sources?

This looks good, but does this technology compete with something like Meshtastic, or could they be compatible somehow with LoRa radios?

It would be interesting if several of the independent networks could cross communicate. Maybe the incompatibility lies in encryption, but fingers crossed…

Is that like girls looking like glorified Barbies? I’m out

I’d like you to meet my wife so I sound more sane in comparison lol.

Jokes aside, why would these random people target you, unless you’ve revealed some interesting details about wealth or inheritance or something? I mean yeah they could randomly target you, but odds are of those 3-4 guys 1 ends up coming after you?? Not likely.

Doesn’t hurt to obscure your info, but I think you’d be fine in the long run.

Personally I don’t know anyone whose life was destroyed by some guy in the internet tricking them. Maybe a few older people falling for gifting a few hundred bucks but that’s it. Maybe a cryptolocker too, but again, less of a big deal.

God, it’s not hard to read an article instead of speculate in the comments.

“The new built in blocker will use Brave’s adblock library and run in Waterfox’s main browser process rather than as an extension. Kontos says this should make adblocking faster, more tightly integrated, and less dependent on extension APIs or constant upstream updates.”

He also said Brave’s library was chosen partly because its MPL 2.0 license is a better fit for Waterfox, while deeper integration with a blocker like uBlock Origin would be more complicated because of its GPLv3 license.

Waterfox will still make one exception by default by allowing text ads on its default search partner page, currently Startpage, as a way to support the browser financially. The team clarified that this is Waterfox’s own revenue decision and not something inherited from Brave’s adblocking technology. Users who want stricter blocking will be able to disable all ads with a single setting, while people who already use third party blockers can keep using them as usual.

This, to me, is fine, because I change the default regardless. There’s nothing stopping anyone else from doing the same. Sure, this could potentially open the door for additional “greedy” decisions down the road, but let’s not jump to conclusions.
