I think the specific feature he alludes to missing is resumable downloads.

No clue personally, but the author is prolific enough here that I thought it merited posting.

The post proposes a solution to the overload of subscribing to subreddits by subscribing to a search for only the top posts from the subreddit.

I missed that, you’re right! I got confused by the blog post saying they only allowed browsing an approved list - I didn’t realize sites could also be added manually.

Big fan of what Framasoft is working on here. It’s a shame to see that (edit: iOS) App Store restrictions have prevented browsing any instances not on a pre-blessed list. That all but eliminates its usefulness to me as a self-hoster.

I used this a fair bit before, but I find the tiling feature in Sequoia sufficient for my needs now.

How exactly is Bitsight collecting the data used in this analysis? I understand it’s just a sampling, but how are they sampling traffic between two arbitrary parties (Crowdstrike and customers in this case)?

addy.io allows you to send email from any of your aliases. It’s a little clunky, but it’s the sort of thing I do so infrequently I don’t really mind.

I see plans with access to the Enterprise repos starting at €110/yr, and plans with 3 support tickets starting at €340. €1020 is the starting price for a plan with a 2hr SLA.

For those interested in learning more about the challenges in keeping the probes alive, the 2022 documentary It's Quieter in the Twilight follows the small, incredibly dedicated team working the project. Free to stream on Prime.

The simple fact that many of the original engineers are no longer alive presents significant challenges in and of itself.

The advent of LAANC for automated airspace authorization has gone a long way towards limiting the number of activities you need a full-on waiver for. If your house is just in controlled airspace (not some type of restricted airspace), it’s possible/likely that the pilots are receiving an automated authorization to fly there up to a certain altitude <400’ AGL.

See also the changelog [1]. They've also added a free trial for paid plans [2]. Notably, new Personal accounts (formerly Free accounts) that use custom domains will be assumed to be commercial unless the user opts out of the free trial. This doesn't affect existing Free accounts [3].
