It's also a way for people who regularly travel less than 20 miles (if this number is correct).

Most device consume more power than you can realiable get from solar on the device. You can't power a cellphone from a back-mounted solar cell nor run a car from a solar roof alone.

But don't make the mistake to assume that everyone has (cheap) power at home or that everyone has a (suburban) home. Photovoltaic is cheap and reliable. And you need space, so it makes sense to put solar everywhere.

I heared people love worldwide-radio. What's so cool about it? And why as a browser plugin? This could be a stand-alone app or website.

So what exactly are 3rd party cookies?

I'm on a.com, that is what's shown in the address bar.

The page includes a resource a.com/image.png. A request the server will include cookies from a.com. That's a 1st party cookie. Correct?

The page includes a resource b.com/image.png. The request will not include cookies from a.com; this was always the case. b.com can however set their own cookies. Since we are on a.com, cookies from b.com are 'third party'. Correct?

It gets interesting when we navigate to c.com and c.com includes b.com/image.png, a tracking pixel we have seen before on a.com.

Without 3rd party cookie protection, b.com sees the cookie they set previously while on a.com. This will now be blocked. Correct?

Now explain this in a Javascript world.

I don't use wired headphones with my phone anymore since it doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, but I miss that i cannot plug my headphone quickly in a laptop's 3.5mm jack quickly.

I like that binary nature of cables. When physically connected they work. No fiddling with Bluetooth menus.

Just a note: The app 'Rethink DNS and Firewall' can do this with any Wireguard VPN.

Do all versions of Android have this? I'm on Samsung Android 14 and I can't find this.

I agree, but at least it is now possible to compete with Apple Pay. The position of Apple and Google Pay is too strong if competition is unthinkable.

Apple was smart to partner with the banks and acting as a proxy initially. The next step could bypass Visa, MasterCard, banks, payment processors, ...

Agree that we are behind with GUI support for secure DNS and I like how enthusiastic your are about the script. Unfortunately, this is just a teaser.

Actually, the functionality should be in systemd-resolved or network manager (or elsewhere maybe). And then configured via the default GUI. This will take time.

Those printers are definitely gold for heavy users. Cheap ink. If you don't use it a lot, would the ink dry and damage the printer? Or evaporate and vanish?

Honest question because imk cartridges dry out all the time.

Who's blocking what?

Last time, IIRC someone blamed Cloudflare and they said they did not do anything, just relaying from upstream.

I missed the part where they pump water up to generate power from the downdraft (of cooled air). I don't want to shit on cool ideas. Maaaaybe there's are range of parameters where this works, but I'm holding my breath.

Also PV does neither require heat nor dryness.
