I have Firefox and Brave set to always clear cookies and everything when I close the browser... it is a nightmare when I come back the amount of captchas everywhere....
It is either that or keep sending data back to the Meta and Co. overlords despite me not being a Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp user...
You don't even need to use a different browser - Firefox has an official "Multi-account containers" extension that lets you assign certain sites to open in their own sandbox so you can have a sandbox for Google, another for Facebook, etc.
So, what's a good strategy for managing containers? I've used this extension for years, and in the past I was a bit more conservative with my containers (personal, work, google, facebook, twitter, banking, etc.) and now I've gone a bit more ... "ham" as they say ... and I have 29. One example is travel, to keep fare searches from pervading news story ads. But I'm sure there's a way to strike a balance that I've just not yet found.
Great idea, I wasn’t even aware and got resigned to the idea tracing is inescapable, but I really need to take that back, even stop using a lot of hostile services. On smartphones it’s even worse.
Not honoring previous settings, reverting back to whatever is more convenient for Microsoft or trying to push down of our throats Copilot on every single corner might be the most infuriating thing....
I wonder what would be the technical challenges of a railgun powered rocket/capsule to launch small payloads to space, technically the remaining concern would be the G force from the acceleration.
The railgun "solution" occurred to me too. Is the rail degradation a failure of materials science? Or are the materials that would be required for this so theoretical at this point to be science fiction rather than science?
There's nothing fundamentally impossible AFAIK - i.e. the rail itself doesn't have to do anything it can't, but you need the surface to survive enough shots to make it worthwhile.
For an actual weapon, this is potentially worth it at a pretty low number since the weapon itself will be pretty small. For a rocket accelerator sled this is going to be more of a problem (but like, conversely you could consider ideas like re-surfacing the rails in place since your turn around isn't fast).
Funny this breakthrough happens at same time Antirez made this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42983275
