Yeah because making it isn’t only about just waiting for time to pass and money to come it, it is also about compounding.


So… now nuclear is considered “green power”. Okay boomers.



making Firefox the most private and secure major browser

If calling home and to selected 3rd party analytics aren’t part of the metric then yes, Firefox might be the most private. What proof, even they say they’ve telemetry.

Here’s all the domain Firefox uses for telemetry: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MrRawes/firefox-hosts/firefox-hosts/hosts

So much for privacy.

Just move to LibreWolf.


Today I found out that this is valid JS:

const someString = "test string";
console.log(someString.toString());


Oh but it did, first the GD-ROM that had 1GB and the only way to get the games into a CD was to cut the assets making it a worse experience and… playing recorded CD-ROMs on a Dreamcast was a very efficient way to destroy its drive.



Lets see if this finally kills the AI hype. Big tech is pushing for AI because it is the ultimate spyware, nothing more.


Yeah, but aren’t others as well? My ideia was to run them on an isolated VLAN without Internet access. What brand would you recommend instead.


Following your advice I found a video for another model and it seems complete, even motion detection was available on the WebUI. I’m assuming you’re on the exact model I was looking at and it doesn’t have that feature am I right?


Besides your take anything else against them?


IP cameras allow you to access the device via web gui where you can view and configure the camera for your needs. Once I’ve set them up I only ever access them again through frigate.

Thanks for the answer. What kind of management do they provide on their WebUI? Can the camera be 100% operated using the WebUI, standalone without anything else? I’m just trying to understand how dependent on external software (be it their apps, cloud or HA) the cameras are.


Are you using an Amcrest IP4M-1041B, can you have a look at this? https://lemmy.world/post/16883143. Thank you.

Amcrest IP4M-1041B + Home Assistant
Hi, Is there anyone using **Amcrest IP4M-1041B** with Home Assistant? I've a few questions about software and [integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/amcrest/). 1. From what I hear, this camera can be setup 100% offline, connected via cable to any computer and by using a built in WebUI the camera has, is this true? 2. It offers pan, tilt or zoom. Does it work really good with HA? Can it be operated without any Amcrest software / internet connection? 3. The features above allow you to set preset locations, can that be done on HA / WebUI / without the Amcrest app as well? 4. Does it really operate all features offline and is it reliable? Eg. motion detection works as expected / doesn't miss events? 5. What's your overall experience with the camera? Does it compare to let's say a TP-Link tapo? Thank you.

Let’s forget about the inequality situation that was created here, even though it was mostly created by his choices of accepting the “new terms” and wanting to launch the AltStore.

Do you like to have a phone where you’re forced into having just the Apple App Store? You don’t, you want freedom to choose whatever App Store you would like to use.

This is exactly the same, instead of just making Delta available on the EU Stores for a price (in order to cover the CTF tax) he decided to restrict it to his single store.


This is just like the iPhone (lack of) storage and the (lack of) SD cards. Apple is trying to maximize profits by using less RAM and by forcing people into buying more hardware in a few years. Apple does a lot of stuff very well but then they also pull this crap.


I don’t get the special treatment for US users. But okay.

I really hope that RetroArch (that is actually done by decent people) get’s released in the stores soon and Delta / Testut fades away.


Riley Testut, as he could flip a switch and have Delta appear on all European app stores.


or should he refer to your poor arguments in the future

Okay, when your govt decides you should pay taxes and your neighbor in the exact same situation doesn’t have to pay then I hope you’re happy. That’s what you’re advocating for there.

maybe you’re the Portuguese Tim Cook and you’re still butthurt about opening up iOS??

Ahahah, the exact opposite. I’m all for alternative app stores and I believe iOS should allow for direct IPA installs without signatures and checks from Apple at all. What I’m against is developers screwing over specific groups of people, in this case Europeans, like this one did.

At the end of the day Testut is charging 1.50€/year for AltStore PAL access, so… he just created a new tax, a fee and so is Apple. The more things change, the more they stay the same ;)


I downloaded it for free. Stop making this about the US 🤣

Enjoy your 3 side loaded app limit + 7 day refreshes and having to install a 3rd party store to get access to an application that was approved by Apple for distribution on the App Store.

He’s pushing users onto his new App Store so he’s making apps available there 🤷‍♂️

Yes and that’s a dick move, he is leveraging Delta to push people into AltStore. Why some users can have it for free while others have to pay? How can this make sense to you? This is the same of, let’s say, you’ve to pay taxes but your next door neighbor does not just because.

He has to pay a fee to create an AppStore. Do you think he can magically make money out of this air to pay apple?

Yes, and who asked for that?

People asked for an emulator on the App Store, eventually Apple changed their policies and allowed it, he was one that decided to create an alternative store, not the users.


Why should he make the app free in the US and payed in the EU then? I was okay with paying for this directly on the AppStore even 10$ would be fair, but this is bullshit.


I bet you’re living in the US not having this deal with this bullshit. While you’ve access to a free app, I’m (in Europe) required to pay and install a 3rd party store just because some guy decided like it.


Do we have to assassinate someone’s character over this?

Yes, he’s acting in very bad faith, he launched Delta on the US App Store and NOT on the EU… Apple approved Delta for distribution and as so it can be distributed in all stores - not only in the US.

This is was a dick move to push EU people into the AltStore. If Apple made alternative app stores available in the US as well then this guy would’ve never published the app on the App Store.

If you want Delta in the EU, download AltStore.

I’m going to say again: AltStore is either payed or requires that constant refresh thing. It doesn’t make sense for make the app free on the US and force EU users to pay…

Testut was supposed to come back home to Apple just because they said so, but I think he did the right thing by sticking to his plans and foiling Apple’s.

… again and how does that work when he only “stick to the plan” in the EU? Why does US users have access to Delta for free while other have to pay?


Did you miss the part where Europens will have to pay 1.50€/year to have access to Delta while Americans can get it for free on the App Store?

having it loaded from his own does.

This isn’t even true. Apps distributed via alternative stores are subject to notarization and are signed as well. Apple can take any app down at any point - even if distributed by a 3rd party store.


In the US you can go to the App Store and download Delta for free. In the EU you’re forced to pay 1.50€/year because he decided to only make it available on the AltStore.

Has no connectivity but uses “dumb” controls so I can switch it with a Zigbee outlet switch.

Any dumb unit can be converted into a smart one with an ESP32. If you’re up to it, it just required you to wire a transistor to the connections of each physical button of the unit and then write those to the GPIOs of the ESP32. This way you can use the GPIOs to close the circuit like the physical button does and “smartify” the thing that way.


PHP -> Problem -> Replace the developer -> Solution.

Yes PHP was bad in 5.x, in 8.x if things go bad it’s just the developer who’s bad.



Mostly 3d printed stuff but there are dozens of cases on Aliexpress.


Love it, but I’m still trying to understand why the storage it takes to operate a few ESPHome devices keeps growing and growing even though data retention is set to 7 days.


Only if people actually tried to learn PHP.


Expected… and then people criticize me when I say they’ll get around the sideload requirement by simply requiring a special certificate / payment / vetting process. lol



All you said plus Firefox’s rendering looks like total crap. Maybe you would like ungoogled-chromium?

And… for what’s worth Firefox is a privacy nightmare as well, just start Wireshark and launch the browser to see what it does. LibreWolf or ungoogled-chromium always.


So… can we now have decent untethered jailbreaks again?


Thanks for the suggestion. The best alternative I was able to find in that website was https://bggenerator.com/batch_image_combiner.html however it is payed and doesn’t show a preview of the output.


there is no inbuilt way to do this quickly but it is a trivial amount of work to achieve the same result.

Not trivial if you’ve to do it dozens of times. At some point I automated the task with ImageMagick but that’s also more pain than gain as most times I need to preview the output and adjust the number of cols/rows.


Yeah, lets switch to questionable ethics company number 2 and shady finances.

I used to use Firefox as my primary browser and sometimes even recommended it, but after all those articles I started digging a bit and doing research on what the browser calls and does and I was bit horrified. What I really don’t like about this Mozilla situation is that tech people tend to see them as the “all savior Mozilla” while, in fact, they’re full of shit.

If you do care about freedom and your privacy use LibreWolf or Ungoogled Chromium.
