the best part is all of this tracking results in useless data that fails to actually target any better than just guessing demographics that would enjoy the given content that the ads gets loaded around (y'know how ads were targeted back in the broadcast TV/Radio days)

Adblocking is both a matter of resistance and personal internet hygiene. There is no right to surveillance capitalism, you can ban who you dislike. Period. Doctor recommended (OK, a Ph.D., but you can take my word for it).
A thorough multilayer approach is recommended to poop in the AdTech teapot: 1) Network-wide DNS filtering w/ Pi-hole, explicitly banning all Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and other notorious enshittification actors. 2) Linux OS instead of Microsoft/Apple. Linux does not track, the others do. 3) Firefox w/privacy extensions uBlock Origin and EFF Privacy Badger, Ungoogled Chromium. 4) On Smartphones: Use AdGuard Pro (iOS) or Rethink DNS (Android), but be aware that tracking is a built-in feature of mobile OS and is more difficult to suppress.
For a while before I had to pay bills using online services I had a "pure" CLI setup, running barebones distros without X installed. Was pretty cool, had a command line application for just about anything. Even wrote a novel using a text-based word processor called wordgrinder.
It was surprising how much you could still see of the web using elinks, I could even use facebook 😂 Unsurprisingly banking was out of the picture though, I had to borrow my mom's windows laptop to do that.
@GeePawHill Recently spoke with an old friend and he was like "I miss the days when I knew exactly why the activity led on my hard drive or floppy was flickering." I agree. =)
I hated that the guy in the electronics shop thought he had to explain usb stick sizes to me because I was a clueless old lady, not because my first computer had 16K of RAM and a cassette tape. 128 gig of storage the size of a car key blows my mind.
just starting Firefox on a Ubuntu machine with 4GB RAM mostly ends up with a crash. I remember times when I cherished the Firebird browser on my thumbstick and used it on whatever computer I was sitting on.
@alesroubicek if you're interested, I set up xububtu on an old netbook with 1GB of ram, and found Firefox can still be really fast, but their current defaults blow chunks. Some of it is telemetry (and now AI), some of it is dumb choices. If you mess around with the settings it can easily be as fast as you remember.
remember, exTENDed memory TENDs to be useful, while exPanded memory is Practically useless.
Back in those days I regularly had to talk sewerage workers through editing CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to get the data from their gas safety monitors to upload. There was only one editor guaranteed to be installed on their computers, edlin -- which could be a challenge.
Funny enough, unlike a few of our directors, not one of them had any problems following the instructions over the phone.

yeah... I think if I had to pinpoint a defining moment for my vocation as a professional computer toucher, teenage me successfully getting Wing Commander 3 to run would probably be it! (Damn you, Mitsumi CD-ROM drive!!)
I can sadly confirm that figure. A docker container with a scraper worker that starts internally a browser and does the whole Chaptcha bullshit comes at about 1.5-2.0GB depending on the website, so a fully interactive website with some history on memory at 2.0gb sounds reasonable with Chrome.
And it doesn't sound too bad my router has 64GB nowadays.
But then I remember my first computer had 64KB RAM (and wasn't that huge) and a super fast 1Mhz 8 bit CPU.

Bella serata ieri al Circolo Gagarin di Busto, con @Alessandro e @alephoto85 . @Kenobit ha presentato il suo libro "Assalto alle piattaforme" e poi ci ha sparato svariati dB di energia 8bit dritti nel cervello. C'è stata anche una improvvisata dimostrazione di come la magia viene creata.
Alla fine siamo rimasti a nerdeggiare fino a tardi. Che ogni tanto ci vuole.
Rub is "A scriptable scratchpad for developers." Rub is like Boop-GTK, which is a port of Boop. Rub is written in #vala #Gtk4 #libadwaita. Rub should be compatible with scripts for Boop. Rub comes with core scripts from Boop. Rub description is also stolen from Boop. Sorry.
I'm trying to write a thing in #vala with #javascriptcoregtk to run some user-defined scripts. I want to create an object which 'proxies' data from the app.
I'm trying to use Context.register_class to register a class with some properties, and then create an instance via JSC.Value.object, but I can't manage to get the object I want.
// test.vala
// valac -o test --pkg javascriptcoregtk-6.0 test.vala && G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all ./test
static void main() {
var vm = new JSC.VirtualMachine ();
var ctx = new JSC.Context.with_virtual_machine (vm);
var test_cls = ctx.register_class ("Test", null, null, null);
var test = new JSC.Value.object (ctx, null, test_cls);
info ("test is %s? %s", test_cls.name, test.object_is_instance_of (test_cls.name) ? "true": "false");
}
I get test is Test? false. What I understand from the docs is I should get a new instance of the class "Test".

Little project I've been working on for the past two days. A reverse engineered implementation of the Android Auto server, running on my OnePlus 6 with PostmarketOS. The implementation is incredibly basic, only has basic video, but it's enough to display Sway and firefox :D
Next major step is getting it to work on a "proper" headunit. It works with my generic Chinese portable Android Auto / CarPlay screen but on a proper Toyota headunit inside a 2019 Toyota Aygo it fails somewhere along the way on the authentication chain.

With Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it!
Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time
@mike @ben @uep We love a good SunPCi card! Gotta get my SBUS SunPC card going one of these days. Also shame that my DOS-compatible Mac's PSU gave up...
@mike I was looking for a way to express my feelings but I was too disturbed to find the right words and then I found your post and I felt validated 8-D
Wow - that is freaking impressive! Back in the day (yes - i'm that old) we had to used cygwin x'3 And that project seems to be still alive: cygwin.com/ cx
Is this like CoLinux? It was running User Mode Linux as a Windows process on XP, no virtualisation needed. Basically WSL2 way ahead of it's time!
The only caveat is that it relied on both arches having compatible pointer sizes which excluded 64bit, so it was never ported to win7.
On a technical aspect though WSL1 is IMHO even better than it's successor, it's literally implementing POSIX and Linux on the NT microkernel. After all NT was supposed to also run OS/2 and Xenix...
Wow, that's a nice piece of software engineering there! Doing anything on Windows 95 is generally such a pain, I'll try it out over the long weekend on my Pentium!
Would it be possible to use this hackery to run a Linux kernel as a guest under a different co-operative multitasking OS for the x86 family ... namely TempleOS?
(I'd like tell them about, but I need to register to comment and there are no other contacts except ex and facebuck, so here I am yelling at the Cloud)

There were times before computers got that unimaginble huge amounts of RAM (640kB).
