Youtube has fully blocked Invidious
  • Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.

    This might explain why mine has been reliable even though it hasn't been updated in months. I guess add me to the list of confirmations that it works on residential connections.

  • ATmega328 microcontroller used in Ukrainian drones
  • @OP your link doesn't discuss the 328 unless you scroll down past several articles by the same person.

    Actual link to the article glossing over usage of the 328

    Found halfway down the linked page:

    “An ATmega328 microcontroller, voltage booster, MOSFETs - everything is standard,” says UAV Developer. “What is worth paying attention to - the [Ukrainians] are absolutely right on the path of electrifying ammunition.”

  • WezTerm - Wez's Terminal Emulator [rust]
  • I tried this a few months back because I wanted ligature support without ugly hacks and really liked it except for the noticeable delay in opening a terminal window. xfce4-term, kitty, and alacritty pop up immediately while wezterm was slightly delayed.

    For context, I have a bad habit of typing my command immediately after hitting the hotkey and it was slightly annoying to see the first few characters of my commands cut off and having to go back and re-enter. It happened only with wezterm so I know that was the cause.

    Once the term window is open, its pretty great and has sane defaults. I may revisit it in the future on my daily-driver profile if I ever get bored of the current setup. For now it stays on my Rust-only profile (wezterm, nushell, zellij, leftwm with a slow transition to a custom penrose build).

  • What are your strategies to not be late?
  • I plan my days backwards. If my appointment is at 13:00 tomorrow I check the travel timetables and determine the absolute latest I have to leave. From there, how long does it take to get ready? What time do I have to be awake in order to get ready? What time do I have to be asleep by in order to get a full night of rest? The anxiety and restlessness makes sure I stay on top of it.

    ...and a lot of weed to make sure I actually do fall asleep on time as one or two puffs too many puts me in the right spot to fall asleep quickly.

  • Movie Discussion - Alien Romulus
  • Saw it with my partner on Friday.

    My review:

    There was so much fan service that I thought it was a bad Tumblr fanfic and wish I had pirated it.

    Fan service spoilers, general complaints, not in order
    • Andy the android. Seriously? How lazy.
    • Rook? Ash? Rook in Dutch is "smoke", give me a break! Also that CG face was abysmal! I've seen better deepfake videos.
    • How the hell does the Company find Nostromo in the middle of space after it blew up in all directions at an unknown location? Stuff keeps moving outward in space and space is infinite... To even figure out where it would be their physicists would have had to pinpoint the original site of the explosion, where the explosion took place on the ship, how much outward force the explosion exerted on the ship, and the exact date and time of the explosion. In the middle of fucking space.
    • The mouse/rat giving "birth" was a terrible callback to 3 with the dog or cow, depending on the cut.
    • Trying to blow the Xeno out of a hole in glass... C'mon!
    • Humanoid birth (Alien 4) that looks like an Engineer (Prometheus), coming out of a human...
    • Xeno breathing down Rain's neck
    • Andy sounding like David when inserting the module
    • Andy and Rook continuing the terrible trope that every single android has referred to it as "the perfect organism"
    • Face huggers swimming, a bad callback to 4
    • Do NOT get me started on how convenient it was that the ship flew into the cargo bay when the pilot lost control
    • The cryosleep fluid makes no sense and retcons 2. If Ripley was out for as long as she was between 1 and 2, then how many canisters were on her EEV?!?! What about between 2 and 3?!
    • Rain stepping out of the lift with the gun was a shot for shot remake of 2
    • Andy crying when being left behind, a callback to David, unless hes one of the original David models with a new skin? Lazy writing either way
    • Stay away from her... BITCH 🤮
    • The acid kill retcons 4. One drop goes completely through the guy's leg, while in 4 it only burns the skin slightly.
    • The scene where Rain blew away the Xenos when gravity was off was a callback to 2 with the turrets in the tunnel, down to having several rounds left after they're all gone
    • Rain entering the mission in the ship's log at the end. Does she even have any formal training there?
    • Since when are planetary rings solid? And since when does a vessel the size of a large city turn into shredded cheese when scraping against a bunch of space ice?
    • Flashing runway lights, a direct callback to all of the other ones

    There's more but these are enough to get the point across. I think it would have been a better film if it tried to be its own film and not reference every single iconic scene from the previous installations. At least they kept the technology and set painting consistent this time, unlike Prometheus...

  • How to respond to the "But what about the farmers?" argument?
  • Farmers are responsible for plenty of emissions. We dealt with this behaviour here in The Netherlands for a while.

    Controversial opinion

    I was on their side with regards to the lack of transition planning until they started setting things on fire and blocking supermarkets and emergency services. Now they can go get fucked and fall in line with the rest of us.

  • Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled
  • Forking is indeed the way forward when Mozilla loses its way a little more. For myself, I switched to Librewolf about 6 months ago, along with replacing Thunderbird with Betterbird after using it since the Phoenix days.

    I cannot remember what prompted the move to Librewolf, it may have been the AI stuff they were pushing at the time, or possibly the update that forced the tabs into my titlebar without having to go into about:config to fix it. Or the fact that Firefox was constantly pushing me to sign up for an account. There were quite a few gripes that added up over time lol

    Betterbird restored some removed things I liked pre-supernova as well as a native systray icon under Linux and that was enough motivation to make the switch.

    It is time for a new browser to enter the market. Either Ladybird or something built with Servo seems likely.
