I see lots of “brush it, it’s fine” posts, but if you want to dunk your components, that’s a whole different story. Alcohol is certainly going to dissolve something like TIM or thermal pads; that might not be a problem.
But it might?
One thing very oldschool PC builders did is submerge their PCs in mineral oil for cooling. This liquid is more innocuous, AFAIK.
So you could get some in a plastic tray and dunk your components in it. I have no advice for getting the oil off though.
It’s the strategy!
It’s the 2020s. There’s no such thing as bad attention.
I got shadowbanned! And I don’t even know what I did.
99.9% of my posting was in two places: technical testing in localllama and fandom geeking in thelastairbender, in spite of brain drain in both subs. I never even raised my voice in a post.
I did post a Lemmy link, but that was well after my first shadowban I believe.
Anyway, it feels like tons of technical and lore intelligence drained from these subs, so I feel like I’m not the only one who got shut out.
Getting randomly shadowbanned. Seemingly IP shadowbanned.
Yeah, I’m not against the idea philosophically. Especially for security. I love the idea of containerized isolation.
But in reality, I can see exactly how much disk space and RAM and CPU and bandwidth they take, heh. Maintainers just can’t help themselves.
I find the overhead of docker crazy, especially for simpler apps. Like, do I really need 150GB of hard drive space, an extensive poorly documented config, and a whole nested computer running just because some project refuses to fix their dependency hell?
Yet it’s so common. It does feel like usability has gone on the back burner, at least in some sectors of software. And it’s such a relief when I read that some project consolidated dependencies down to C++ or Rust, and it will just run and give me feedback without shipping a whole subcomputer.
You put that a bit abrasively, but yeah.
Don’t forget human civilization’s light horizon being a tiny blip, even within our own galaxy. We have about 24,000 years until the galactic core sees Jesus.
No Linux client for that either, though it seems to be planned.
Eh. Firefox is fine.
The only FF fork I’ve ever used for some time is Cachy Browser, as it shipped with my distro and was ostensibly amore optimized. But even they depreciated it in lieu of vanilla Firefox.
And Firefox gets faster security patches anyway.
I’m more interested in Chrome forks because it’s Google spyware. And, as much as I don’t like it, I find Chromium-based browsers to be faster. That doesn’t matter so much on desktop, but the difference is pretty dramatic on Android.
Ungoogled Chromium does not support full uBlock Origin. Last I checked, it wont auto-update itself on Windows without a 3rd party tool, and I remember it having some other “quirks” from the stuff it strips out. The delay for security updates seems pretty minimal, too.
And personally, I like the bangs feature, now that I’m using Orion on iOS anyway.
But its based on ungoogled-chromium, so if you prefer to use upstream, that makes a lot of sense. Helium’s main pitch seems to be an “easier to install” ungoogled chromium anyway.
Orion syncs cross platform, DuckDuckGo does as well. And I believe you can sync with extensions.
Orion is mobile. So is Cromite.
DDG is pretty good too. I like its approach, with a UI that encourages whitelisting sites.
To those asking “which browser other than Firefox”
It’s fantastic. It’s Chrome, stripped of junk, with full (not lite) Ublock Origin natively supported and shipped. What more could you want?
And it can coexist alongside Firefox.
Cromite is also great, but its antifingerprinting is so hardcore it breaks some sites. That’s perfect for shopping/private browsing, but a bit much for daily driving unless tracking resistance is your #1 priority.
On iOS and OSX, Orion (from Kagi) is sublime. It’s Safari based (which you want for Apple stuff), but heavily modified with a native blocker, and supports extensions if you really need them. There aren’t many Safari “forks” like it.
I say this because I’ve been through a gauntlet of trying a bunch. Bromite, ungoogled chromium, waterfox, pale moon, Thorium, Vivaldi, all sorts of iOS apps and Firefox/Chromium forks. And these feel like endgame to me. Helium is just about perfect (as long as its development isn’t dropped), and Orion is close aside from some UI quirks.
Orion is great.
So is DuckDuckGo.
It would depends on how much infrastructure they can pass to receive them.
Ideally it would be “unlimited.”
Immigration is just good for the US economy because they tend to skew young and (to be blunt) low wage when they get here, and just look at how far immigrants go here. In most countries, it’s supposed to be a cornerstone of US culture, and the country is freaking huge.
Integration? America was originally a hodgepodge of homesteads; that’s the idea.
The limiting factor is housing, schooling, occupation, just having somewhere for them to go and live.
TL;DR: As many as possible as long as they aren’t forced into poverty.
…Hence, I find it incredible that we, as a country, collectively decided to squander that massive strategic advantage for… what?
It just doesn’t make any sense, even if you set morality aside. Or truly believe in the propaganda that they’re responsible for most crime, which is nonsense.
Go to the Arctic or Antarctic in their respective summers, and it’s always day. And you can time the flight between to stay in day.
Alternatively, rocket to the L1 Lagrange point between the Earth and Sun and just stay there. The orbit is metastable, so that’s practical.
Flying in a circle around the Earth in the vicinity of the Arctic or Antarctic circles (cutting through Norway, Finland such) would require flying at about the Concorde’s top speed.
Yeah, Cromite is definitely a “second browser” to keep around for shopping and such, not my primary one. Its opinionated development is exactly why is so good in that niche, but it also breaks a few sites and features.
In that spirit… why only use only one browser? You can keep Brave installed.
Also, in addition to what others said, Brave has been involved in some shady stuff like ad substitution/injection. See:
https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/
Similarly enough, Brendan Eich’s feed also contains some worrying content, in my opinion. Ranging from, again, retweeting right-wing activists, to weird Republican propaganda. He claims to be independent and not a Republican, but this does not make me any less worried about the type of ideas he follows.
But yeah, if you are a big fan of AI and crypto, and are okay with having advertisements in the user interface out of the box, are okay with past attempts to steal money from websites and collect donations towards people who wouldn’t necessarily even receive it, plus you can put up with occasional privacy mistakes… use Brave!
Why use Brave when you can use Helium or Cromite?
Helium has full (not lite) ublock origin built in, and no junk. That’s the gold standard of Adblock.
Cromite has rather obsessive antifingerprinting, making it extremely difficult to track you compared to Brave.
Basically, people use Brave because it’s got SEO; it’s the first result when people type in “Adblock browser” unfortunately.
