Do note though that for privacy purposes, a .us domain is not the best idea. You must be a U.S. citizen or business and registrars may try to verify your identity.
This is an interesting observation, not really something I have considered. The key difference here is that you are the one in control of those customizations. Whether the customizations are useful or harmful is entirely up to the user, Kagi just gives you the option.
For me at least, the majority of my searches I just want the correct answer to a question or a link to a specific resource I’m looking for. I don’t really use it as a content discovery engine. Being able to prioritize sites that I have found through experience to have reliable results and exclude sites that are uninformative or irritating is valuable.
Kagi! Worth every penny of the subscription. The emphasis on privacy is a big deal for me but the killer feature is the ability to customize results. I have sites I personally like/trust towards the top and have an ever growing blacklist of sites that don’t get shown at all. No more pinterest, spruce, or other seo spam sites!
It’s definitely still useful and easier to do now too. SpaceX and Tesla both allegedly use it to catch leakers. It’s usually done now with whitespace and/or invisible characters.
Look into using GNU stow! It’s exactly what you’re doing but it creates the symlinks for you.
I love this solution, I’ve been using it for years. I had previously just been using the home directory is a git repo approach, and it never quite felt natural to me and came with quite a few annoyances. Adding stow to the mix was exactly what I needed.
knock 3 times
oh boy, the knock 3 times rule, that brings back some memories. I spent a miserable 6 months as a Mormon missionary and my first companion would always knock 3 times. I always felt it was rude, especially when he would do it at a house where we knew someone was home and just not answering the door.
Well I know what I’m making for lunch now.
I bought an OnlyKey a few months ago and love it.
Hey, I have a career question this week! I’ve been a sysadmin for the last 1.5 years (It’s a small shop so everything security related is currently my responsibility). I’ll soon be graduating with a BS in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance. I’m SSCP, CySA+, and PenTest+ certified. I want to end up in a penetration testing role. Once I graduate, should I start looking for pen testing gigs immediately or do you think I ought to get some experience directly in the security industry first? Would getting OSCP help my chances of moving directly to pen testing?
I was thinking of how to use Sheets as a storage device. Reminded me of this video.
A vertical mouse saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome. A few years ago I started developing wrist and elbow pain in my mouse arm along with the numbness. It was getting so bad I would take frequent breaks to ice my wrist and would wear a brace at night. I started looking for ergonomic mice and decided to try out a $15 Anker one from Amazon. I felt relief the day I started using it and within a few days the symptoms were gone entirely.
Who is going to tell him?
Updated some diagrams at work today using the newish D2 language. I’ve dabbled before with tools like D2 that generate diagrams from “code”, like plantUML but D2 was really easy and made some great looking images.
Definitely looks more professional than the ASCII art diagrams they replaced, though I do find the ASCII ones charming.
Durability is a big concern for me as well. I bought a Pixel 2 at launch and had it until June of this year, almost 6 years. It was still in decent shape, but the battery had become unreliable and the cost of paying someone to replace it and fix the cracked screen was almost as much as a new in box Pixel 5. Hopefully my Pixel 5 will also last me a similarly long time.
What kind of problems have you had with your 6?
I’ve used ledger on and off for a few years. I use it along with ledger-autosync to process the transaction files I download from Amazon, Paypal, and my bank. I haven’t gone so far as to automate the import of those files, I just download them manually, but it does support that.
I’m a sysadmin (for now) so it’s patch week for me. No big surprises so far so hopefully it’ll be a nice relaxing weekend!
I recently set up and started using MediaTracker for this purpose. It’s kind of barebones, but functional. Seems like its biggest difference with movary is that it also covers TV, ebooks, audiobooks, and games.
I have a little section for movies and books on my website and i’ve been working on a script to automatically pull those lists and reviews from MediaTrackers api each time I build my site.
