I do like that their pictures show a device with KOReader installed.

Considering this is anubis, the project created explicitly to block AI crawlers?

I absolutely love that zip-tie mounting solution, it's the kind of thing I wish I saw in more homelab setups.

People joke about linux.exe, but there was such a thing as andLinux/coLinux

As a note, the EU requirements for cookie banners actually have a few interesting requirements.

So they engineered the consent mechanism to be as high-friction as possible to say “no”, while the “yes, violate my privacy” choice is always a single click.

A consent dialog needs to offer a "decline" option that's at least as easy to access as the "agree" option. If they try to coerce you to give consent simply to avoid tedium, then that consent mechanism is in violation of GDPR.

Also a fun tidbit;
Ended up sharing a table at a speakers dinner in 2019 with a guy who worked for the same advertisement company that caused the Target scandal (among others). He had some interesting things to share about how such things happen, and also how the advertisement industry works internally.
It's got a remarkable amount of parallels to high-frequency trading.

I really do hope that Funkwhale get their 2.0 release out soon, should make self-hosted Spotify-like stacks simpler to do, and the fact that it works for creation and distribution as well is great.

I think the login-redirect system is just broken for ADFS, it feels like it adds all the SSO-logout URLs for all systems you're logged into to the redirect queue when it times your session out.
Which means you'll have to log in enough times to exhaust that queue before it finally reaches the actual system you're trying to log into.

But that's just an assumption.

Added an edit with the filter line

I actually recently added the Microsoft logout page to µblocks domain filter at work, since it would every now and then trigger a logout the very first page load after I'd log in to the email there.

This has also somehow caused a bunch of other AD-connected systems to suddenly behave a lot better when it comes to session termination.

Edit: Since people were asking for it, this is what you need to add to the "My filters" tab in your UBO config;

||login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/logout^$document

This will prevent any requests from redirecting you to log out, timeouts etc will still invalidate your session.

No longer an assumption - from itch themselves: https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content

Assuming that this is due to pressure from VISA/MasterCard - like it's been with Steam.

It's patently bizarre how a company whose only purpose is transferring money from account A to B can then arbitrarily decide what people are allowed to buy and sell.
It's one thing to refuse to be an acceptable payment method for NSFW games, but to forbid the store from selling them at all? That's just megalomania, and a great pointer to why monopolies (and duopolies) are A Bad Thing™

I guess they're going to complain about the fact that Kobo e-readers use regular microSD cards for onboard storage next, instead of soldering the chips directly to the board.
