To be fair it's possible the situation has changed since I last checked. But at least it used to be this way (https://flatkill.org/2020/). I'm glad the situation has improved in terms of security, but I'm still not a big fan of the flatpak design as a whole.

Indeed, and most flatpaks have access to the home directory so are also able to do this even though they're """sandboxed"""

OpenStreetMap - seems to be done with concentric circles, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1365317072 and a dome on top

There is a good wiki page on this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_3D_Buildings

FYI someone else has probably already traced this through Strava, which is allowed to be used for tracing: <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Strava#Data_Permission_-...>

Obligatory mention of https://xiph.org/video/ which clears up a lot of misconceptions.

Ah, fair enough. Well Firefox should support Brotli by default, so it's probably something going on on my machine.

FYI your server returns Brotli encoded content, even if the request has only Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, zstd - making it unreadable in for me (Firefox on Fedora).

Par for the course for the Tata group. Reminds me of the JLR hack last year, who outsourced their computer systems to Tata.

I remember a while back neverssl.com would happily serve HTTPS requests! Another good alternative is http://httpforever.com/

Sure, but it doesn't lower the cost or increase the efficiency of the system

LCSC is definitely genuine. I'm not sure why people are so surprised that companies like Mouser have insane markups.
