It’s by IP:

The maths is brutal. On a match day, blocking just 4 to 20 IP addresses knocked out more than 400,000 unrelated domains. The outage lasted as long as the game.

None of this is new in kind, only in scale. Courts across Europe have long ordered providers to block pirate sites. Spain runs one of the continent’s most aggressive regimes. What has changed is the plumbing. The web now runs on shared infrastructure, so a crude IP block is a shotgun, not a scalpel.

Premium includes Google’s equivalent of paid Spotify. Premium Lite and free users get something closer to Spotify’s free tier.

The tier makes sense, if not the name. Google insists on including music streaming in Youtube Premium, and Premium Lite is a cheaper tier that doesn’t include music streaming. It’s missing some other features too, but it beats Premium for people who just want to not have ads and for some reason won’t use an ad blocker.

This support page about Premium Lite says it has no ads on “most non-music content, excluding Shorts. Ads may appear when you search or browse”. Still having ads on music content makes sense given that Premium Lite doesn’t include music streaming.

They also just announced that the PS3 and Vita Playstation Stores will be shutting down, starting next month in certain regions and everywhere by July 2027. At some point in the future it will be impossible to buy games for your old PS6 because it doesn’t support discs and the Playstation Store doesn’t support the system.

Steam lets developers include a description of the AI use, not just whether they used AI. This is the “AI Generated Content Disclosure” for Stellaris:

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

We employ generative AI technologies during the creation of some assets. Typically this involves the ideation of content and visual reference material. These elements represent a minor component of the overall development. AI has been used to generate voices for an AI antagonist and a player advisor.

Apple could use higher quality drives, or have to pay a premium for being weird and buying controller-less drives, but yes, a big part of the difference is probably just higher profit margins.

Apple raised prices on a bunch of stuff today, and the iPad Pro upgrade is now £900.

The £800 to upgrade the iPad Pro isn’t just paying for storage. The 1TB and 2TB iPad Pro have an extra CPU core and 4GB more RAM vs the lower storage tiers.

I can’t help you with automation. I update my containers manually, whenever I think to do it. Nothing is accessible outside my network so I’m not worried about staying on top of security updates.

You could just build it yourself, there’s not much to it.

Dockerfile:

ARG VERSION=2

FROM caddy:${VERSION}-builder AS builder

RUN xcaddy build \
    --with github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare

FROM caddy:${VERSION}

COPY --from=builder /usr/bin/caddy /usr/bin/caddy

My Dockerfile is under dockerfile-dns and then in docker-compose.yaml instead of pointing to an image I have:

services:
  caddy:
    build: ./dockerfile-dns

I’m not 100% sure of the right way to update it, but I think I usually use something like docker compose build --pull --no-cache.

I still have mine. It has an FM receiver and runs off a AAA battery, so it’s handy for listening to the radio for updates during a big power outage.

And yet somehow the part where there are active MLB players who share names with Cold Play’s lead singer and Carlos Santana is not wrong.

There are at least 2 dead people on the plane. I think I’d wait for another flight…

The Notepad getting junk added is a Microsoft Store app. The old notepad.exe is still usable.

I can’t remember if it was at university or a job, but there was a server named ‘borg’ and on there localhost really would have been borg.

So much of the Verge is paywalled these days it’s completely understandable for someone not to bother clicking through.

$24.95/yr seems high. Are you looking at a specialty TLD? I paid around 10 USD/yr for a .com with Cloudflare, and 12 CAD/yr for a .ca with Canspace.

NetNewsWire doesn’t have its own accounts, but it can still sync your read items through iCloud.

Their web page doesn’t really mention self-hosting, but there’s github link way down at the bottom and that has self-hosting instructions.

It’s just a one-off transfer, I’m not planning to stop the transfer, and it’s my media library, so nothing should change, but I figured something resumable is a good idea for a transfer that’s going to take 12+ hours, in case there’s an unplanned stop.
