Nationalise the lot, dump in the billions we need to get it back to scratch again.

Infrastructure always makes its money back in growth several times over, before anyone thinks of replying we should spend the money elsewhere

This was always known to be the result of cancelling by anyone that has been paying attention.

HS2 is direly needed infrastructure work that we’ve needed since the 90s

We are at capacity on the west coast mainline, this makes everything more expensive, not just rail, as it’s an important freight route.

Short sighted

Haha okay

Edit: after a skim and a quick Google, this basically looks like a packaging up of existing modern processor features (sorta AVX/SVE with a load of speculative execution thrown on top)

…I feel like openssh has a much larger attack surface than a simple binary.

If you’re going to this extent already, you may as well jump on the run0 approach systemd is introducing.

oh no, I can hear rumbling

Hoping the EU drops GDPR 2 requiring them to delete the entire model if it infringes or something.

Expecting the US to meaningfully regulate US companies is like expecting…

You know what, even including physical impossibilities, I’m struggling to think of anything less likely

I wonder how Reddit investors are feeling when they find out even Google couldn’t pull something valuable out of the Reddit data

Tbh at least this one makes sense, who is going to use a VPN (an internet privacy tool) from Google?

We should never have farmed these essential public services out to for-profit businesses anyway.

Expand GDS, move all these responsibilities there

You can always configure the DNS manually on a device you own to ignore the DHCP settings sent from the router and just go directly to the pihole, obviously not as good as it happening automatically, but a good workaround if that’s not possible

So the main software is here https://pi-hole.net/ (and they have good documentation, so I’m not going to repeat the nitty-gritty here)

You obviously need something to run it on, which could be some existing computer that’s always on, but (as the name might suggest) a lot of people use some form of Raspberry Pi (or similar) single-board computer.

Pihole will run on basically anything, so you can get an ancient pi and it will still run fine

Run a pihole or similar

Your web browser is just one piece of software on your network capable of displaying ads and collecting data

I value my mental health too much to regularly dive into the YouTube comment section

Not a huge one yet, it’s mostly the already-gone daily mail brainworms lot that watch it.

But it has every intention (along with Murdoch’s talktv) of being as much of a tumour on our society as fox news is in the states.

I think we need another round of stopfundinghate

Holy shit, a week delay is mad

Well, I can see your post on l.w, so it’s not a total disconnect!

I wonder if there are any bugs in the new version of lemmy—do you know if mander has updated yet? The l.w admins tend to drag their heels updating because of some previously rough update experiences (I think mostly down to the size of the instance compared to others)

There were some issues with federation last time, perhaps it’s something similar

Well I don’t know about the Reddit stuff not mattering—I occasionally still check on it for a couple of niche communities and the Reddit I used to enjoy has basically died, it’s like the place is filled with angry idiots now. Those people were always there before but usually buried under a load of downvotes where you could mostly ignore them; they now seem to be a majority of those left contributing over there.

They killed the golden goose in scaring off enough of the people contributing most interesting posts and comments (who were doing it entirely for free!) that the lunatics have taken over and shat on everything

Pretty sure that’s not the case, had a little Google and it seems like I’m right, but I’m open to being corrected if I’m wrong or misunderstanding what you mean. Here’s evidence to support my claim:

I’m sorry, why the fuck aren’t these street legal in more than half of the states? The article says something about safety, but these are street legal all over Europe where we have stronger safety regulations.

Also there’s something I can’t put my finger on about the journalist choosing a hero image of the van losing its cargo.

You only make the mistake once in your life if you value your longevity

Ah sorry my bad! Looks like I went in with an incorrect assumption of the use case. Given an iPad is typically used as a consumption device, I assumed watching video content would be the main use case—which honestly in my anecdotal experience I’ve not heard anyone using mega for in ages, but even so perhaps that’s just the people I talk to and I’ve just been oblivious though.
