I’m dying to do this but the clients for Matrix on iOS and macOS look like trash, they’re either web wrappers or have that creepy Windows look.

I really wish I had the time to study Swift and native app development.

I’ve had these losers DNS blocked for years. Don’t respond to abuse reports? Get NXDOMAIN’d.

When it comes to email I just have my server reject any containing links that point to URL shorteners. I’m not stupid enough to click them anyway but it’s safe to assume you’re just a scammer or some other lowlife, even if you’re otherwise considered a reputable business.

I’ve seen some of the nicest vehicles on the planet waste everyone’s time doing this stupid maneuver and I’d gamble they all had rear cameras too.

This sounds like a fun problem to solve as a developer. A web application could be written that:

1. Takes incoming requests from the UI (presumably SearXNG-like in appearance)
2. Hits multiple instances at once
3. Proxies the results from the fastest successful instance

If SearXNG offers an API you could even ditch the proxying of results. If you got really fancy you could store stats on which are the fastest/slowest and act on that in the future.

I’m on this level about it: https://matthewdicks.com/2016-8-1-backing-into-a-parking-spot/

Why would someone bring a K Cup out into nature? Soda and the other plastics you mentioned don’t require a huge machine to use.

I hate Keurig simply because their machines are shit. I bought a $200 model a few years ago and it overheated itself during descaling. I got a free replacement but that one’s buttons were shot on day one. The reusable K Cup was a pain to use, and I hated buying a huge box of plastic pods to satisfy my caffeine habit.

These days I drink pour over coffee with an electric kettle—the coffee beans come in a huge bag so I don’t need to throw out 2+ K Cups everyday.

Why are you singling out K Cups? All those products you mentioned are made of plastic, and while I do find the straw thing is ridiculous compared to the fish nets abandoned in the ocean every day, I still think all single use plastics are kind of bad.

Even with fantastic WiFi I prefer to keep as much off of simply to conserve resources. And yeah Gigabit Ethernet at this point should be a minimum.

I dump Blu-rays either directly to BDMV or MKV (TV shows) on a wired NAS; streaming to Apple TV via Infuse is super smooth.

Not being a Python developer myself I’d almost go the Docker route simply to avoid the hell that is Python package management.

While I can’t suggest anything specifically helpful (I’ve forgotten) I’d say check the project’s Dockerfile. It’ll give you an idea of how they’re handling it in Docker therefore a provide some hint as to what to do.

There’s not. It’s hosted on either google.com or www.google.com (can’t remember which). I’m pretty sure it’s intentional to get you to unblock Google.

This happens to me a lot (I block Google’s donains). shakes fist Curse you Google for hosting it on google.com you tricky fucks!

My car is too old for this surveillance stuff but I do wonder if there’s a small computer (I’m imagining a Raspberry Pi but obviously it wouldn’t be that) that can be flashed, or if not plugged into another device that limits its ability to phone home (iptables and the like).

I resolved the issue and edited the post.

I found the domain names (edited the post) and essentially yes, it does route through their servers.

I’ve wanted to set up my own instance for a long time now. I use Docker daily but in my free time I have a shorter attention span.

So thanks for providing this!

Another vote for Postgres, MySQL kind of blows.

It sure does, but I don’t log my family and friends’ queries so I’ll probably MITM myself using a travel router.
