happy to talk, sent you a message i also have a few other project such as a alternative to turbopuffer and another disk based search/vector search engine lingering.

not sure if the ad industry per se can be blamed for the degradation of journalism. at least not in the way you imply. Newspapers used to have even more ads. i also don't see much higher quality in outlets that are financed by oligarchs etc...

what degraded the journalism in my view is consumer shift towards UGC and social media (which in turn is ad funded and drew away advertiser budgets, leaving the Journalistic outlets with low(er) quality ads).

but its a rather complex topic and possibly all views here are too simplistic

as a swiss and as someone working in adtech that does not track users i think its good first step.

the ideal solution in my point would be that platforms that have a login or know or calculate (!) the ASL of the user would be disallowed from showing ads to users below age X.

how would you want to keep having free journalism without advertising? (and we all know where any democracy goes to die). historically nothing else worked at scale minus a few exceptions.

i think the sentiment against ads from the educated bubble really completely takes a working democracy for granted. spoiler: its not and look whats happening in the US... and the budget shift from openweb/newspapers towards video (mainly google) in the advertising industry is massive...

disclaimer: i work in adtech but we do not profile users and do not track them.

There is a lot of reasons and now that llms can do the overly complex configs there is actually even less reasons to use wireguard.

The killer feature for us is to be able to push routes to clients (unfortunately macos screwed this up royally in recent releases, so i had to build a custom client)

Building dbs is lots of fun. I recently did a few. Some in rust and some in go. And its really interesting.

Not if you pay a bit of dividends to jared or dtj

disagree. i designed a new shirt design for our small startup every year for the last 5 years. This year i was able to have significantly better designs (even two) in shorter times and much happier team mates. Still my creativity, still a good amount of work in Affinity Designer, but a significant quality and speed boost. its just a tool, but a good enough one in that muggles suddenly think they are 10x'ers because they produce more output which floods the system with "slop".

ironically i think we need more social and stronger local social networks that have high identity validation and are "safe" spaces for the plebs. so that the perceived "threat level" from the free internet gets lower. basically hide the real internet a bit behind a small rock. its a slippery slope but it might be the better strategy unless some democratic societies achieve to put more modern "freedom guarantees" into their consitution.

fwiw i know tobias and its very very unlikely he made this up. my guess its intentionally vague to not leak any information about the culprit which i guess is fair.

did a similar thing for reolink cameras and mikrotik devices. since i run a small k8s cluster i made it a k8s controller that picks up the certs. works really nicely

Yes everyone does their best but in typical german fashion nobody does the right thing because it would mean to break some rules or habit. Its a general problem but it shows hard at DB.

really nice, but if you have high res monitor the fonts are too small. would be nice to zoom the ui
