They must be making extra effort lately. I got the “Ad blockers are prohibited” popup twice today on two systems. One Linux and one windows. Librewolf, UO and SB on both.

Was able to close popup and move on.

Telegraph isn’t credible in my opinion.

Edit to add that the story is plausible to me, but I don’t trust The Telegraph very much.

Russia, Israel and perhaps others contributed in the acceleration.

I agree. Fleabay is probably the widest platform in terms of audience and specific items you can have.

I’m no mod or anything, but with the post count so low I, as a mere reader, would not mind seeing HA items for sale here as long as it’s hobbyists and not businesses.

You’d almost certainly want to employ some of the posting rules used in the r/XXXXsales subs. Things like prepend your title with For Sale, location and item description. It would also make some sense to declare in your ad some guidelines to ensure a smooth sale like PP invoice and/or some verifiable reference to your credibility (ie - Heatware/ebay ratings). There naturally needs to be some sort of assurances on both sides of the transaction.

I very much miss the r/homelabsales sub, but I am never going back.

Amazon is playing a role here for the administration. They were never going to do this.

What can I run on a Transmeta Crusoe?

May you be touched by His noodely appendage. R’amen.

Hello fellow home labber! I have a home built xpenology box, proxmox server with a dozen vm’s, a hackentosh, and a workstation with 44 cores running linux. Oh, and a usb floppy drive. We are out here.

I also like long walks in Oblivion.

Name them. Bosch does this with some functions too. I bought the model below and didn’t care about delayed start or whatever. I am not loading your app!

I swear we need to start some appliance hacking clubs or something to sidestep this crap.

I swear I read that a judge can appoint an independent prosecutor. Can’t remember where though.

This appears to be Russian pressure for her to stay in line. If that is true, they’ll have any number of ways to exert that pressure. I think they want this public for the rest of the embedded crew to stay the course.

To be clear, it isn’t someone upset about her being on the wrong side of things and threatening her because of that, but instead it is someone telling her to keep in line for Russia…or else.

I won’t go russian to judgement or putin the blame on anyone, but some people that love to sow chaos and take down the US do come to mind.

I’ve always appreciated and applied the Zoroastrian reverence of dogs:

Well, with general enshittification, Steam’s progress and W10 sunsetting maybe it will tick up the charts a bit more this year. I have laptops and home theater systems and have converted several in the last six months. Mostly Mint and EndeavorOS so far, but I’ll also load up Manjaro and Fedora on the last couple to see how I like them. Linux has come a long way.

Yah, but only ~70% of us.

Or haven’t paid your monthly bribe.

How apropos.

Peep Show is hilarious, but I would be loathe to call it “charming”. It’s mostly a “guy show” I think.
