I guess Don Jr is getting his supply from Columbia these days.

Funny how this information about massive operational cost savings “leaked” just hours after all internet facing companies and US congress started questioning our reliance on AWS in a way that could affect Amazon’s stock price.

We only use Amazon when its the only fulfillment option available. What I’ve noticed about amazon over the last 5+ years is that it feels like cable/broadcast TV ads do now.

In the rare case I end up watching TV with ads I find them so obnoxious and/or off-putting that I can’t believe they actually sell anything. If anything they put me off the product. And that’s how Amazon feels too.

Well that should convince the last of the Canadian snowbirds to divest themselves from whatever winter assets they’ve been holding on to. RIP Florida and Arizona housing markets - they won’t be back for at least a generation.

Them not supporting Linux makes it easy for me to maintain my personal ban on EnshitificationAmalgamated.

I’ve been using Pinchflat for a while. Its working but a bit rough.

The biggest issue to me is that if you (the OS maker) wants a shim so you can use your own CA, you have to go through Microsoft. And they can just say no.

I think Tuxedo is still waiting on their shim.

Interesting. I’ve gotten OK working in Krtia, but I feel like I’m working around its UI since I’m not using it as the drawing tool it’s meant to be.

Well, its apparently borked and I didn’t realize it. I’ve never gotten an IP ban but I also wasn’t using it a ton - mostly just for when I’d search for instructions on something an a YT vid was my only option.

I mainly use Nebula for watching videos. And the handful of creators I follow who are strictly youtube, get slurped up by ytdlp via Pinchflat

No, it doesn’t seem to be. That’s ashame.

I host a number of alternate frontends. Alexandrite for Lemmy, Redlib for Reddit, Invidious for Youtube. And then I have the Privacy Redirect extension make any links to Reddit or Youtube go to my local.

I love POP OS, but it being stuck at 22.04 until Cosmic is done is less than ideal. But I’m hoping Cosmic’s full release is both awesome and ready when 26.04 is upon us.

Were they monkey-fighting snakes on a Monday-Friday plane?

I was excited for IPv6 in the 90s.

I’ve ended up with a pretty decent vinyl collection doing this. A lot of artists sell record releases on their merch store.

yes

First set up your certificate in the SSL tab of NPM. You can either upload a traditional certificate or set up LetsEncrypt. Be aware that starting next spring the maximum length of a certificate will drop to 9 months and continue to decrease over the next few years until its 47 days.

I have mine set up so LetsEncrypt gets a wildcard cert for my domain (via DNS challenge). Some people go with per subdomain certs.

Once you have the cert, go you each of your hosts and switch to its SSL tab. Then select your cert. Then I usually turn on “Force SSL”

I use Nginx Proxy Manager running as a docker container. Its a gui that makes administration more straight forward. It points at all my services (docker and otherwise) and handles the SSL for me. Because I don’t want to have any ports open I use DNS challenge ACME and NPM has built in support for a number APIs from large public DNS providers to automate that.

China said they wouldn’t negotiate until tariffs came down. They didn’t, now tariffs are paused, and negotiations are starting. China is clearly in the driver’s seat and they just shoved trump’s binky in his mouth.

For those unfamiliar, Dawarich is a self hosted location tracker / timeline

Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.
