Also it doesn't respect robots.txt (the file that tells bots whether or not a given page can be accessed) unlike most AI scrapping bots.

If you go for RAID, I would advise for software RAID rather than hardware (i.e provided by your motherboard or a physical car). Hardware RAID will lock you to the particular motherboard or RAID card, which would represent an additional hurdle when upgrading or replacing it.

I believe Zen's sole focus is to provide a different UI / UX on top of vanilla Firefox, so I would assume that it is no more or less private than Firefox.

Apparently in France naming a Prime Minister of the party that won the last elections is a compromise in itself for the President, so I would start with that 😒

Thank you for the tip, but is there any way to delete the activity data from Meta after de-linking?

Earlier this year, researchers from security firm Avast spotted a newer FudModule variant that bypassed key Windows defenses such as Endpoint Detection and Response, and Protected Process Light. Microsoft took six months after Avast privately reported the vulnerability to fix it, a delay that allowed Lazarus to continue exploiting it.

Dammit Microsoft, you only had one job!

There are multiple causes to its demise.

The big one was security (or lack thereof) as attackers would abuse plug-ins through NPAPI. I remember a time when every month had new 0-days exploiting a vulnerability in Flash.

The second one in my opinion, is the desire to standardize features in the browser. For example, reading DRM-protected content required Silverlight, which wasn't supported on Linux. Most interactive games and some websites required Flash which had terrible performance issues. So it felt natural to provide these features directly in the browser without lock-in.

Which leads to your second question: I don't think we will ever see the return to NPAPI or something similar. The browser ecosystem is vibrant and the W3C is keen to standardize newly needed features. The first example that comes to mind is WebAuthn: it has been integrated directly in the browsers when 10 years ago it would have been supported through NPAPI.

PiHole with unbound (it's its own recursive DNS resolver so you don't depend on Cloudflare, Quad9 and others) set on my local network DHCP, plus AdGuard's DNS Proxy to use PiHole outside my home on my phone through DNS over TLS.

I meant add support to new robots other than Dreame. On Telegram he explicitly said he won't support any new Roborock nor Ecovacs

AFAIK Hypfer (Valetudo maintainer) has no intention to support new robots other than Dreame

 

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.
