Here's the actual report, maybe better to link to that?

Brave is building this functionality into the browser.

Unless you have some new information, I think that was like 6 Brave pivots ago, and isn’t the case any longer.

Where did you get that information from? I've never used that functionality myself, but haven't seen info indicating it got deprecated so I assumed it's still supported?

I used to use it for secure chat with friends, but stopped when they started doing the weird crypto stuff. I switched to Signal and never looked back.

I think Archive.org wayback machine and archive.today are going to be extremely valuable resources for "historical research" in the future. I hope they can continue their work via donor funding.

Are there any developments towards helping these efforts out by decentralizing / backing up parts of the archive and way back machine data? I know torrents are hugely important in helping to decentralize and maintain many important files in academia and such (e.g. NN weights and CERN data) but I think cephfs is also trying to allow decentralized data storage with redundancy.

It seems like there is some solution which can provide a huge data source to be decentralized over arbitrary number of nodes, where each node can hold or back up just some part of the data, and allow for a dashboard view that shows the level of redundancy over all of the data for each of its parts.

I worry that archive.org or wayback will not have sufficient funding and will need to close, and the sheer impact of that is greater than most realize. I hope there is a decentralized archive project

I've been using Feedbro, but interested in a [self-]hosted solution so will probably check out FreshRSS! Thanks!

I've been using "Feed me up Scotty"[1] in combination with GitHub Actions (free) to periodically fetch and build my RSS feeds.

The only part that is still inconvenient is creating these xpaths which requires some trial and error.

Same concern here. I think it's a more valuable use of time to get all your friends/family to switch to Signal. AND pay for (donate) to Signal.

I had the Archos Jukebox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archos_Jukebox_series) - so great - I remember the corner bumpers actually working pretty well. Thanks for the memories!

I had a Rio Karma, it remains to this day one of my favorite piece of tech I've owned. The UI was simple and fast, and the tactile buttons let me control playback by touch alone.

After my Rio broken (failed HD, and a terrible pain in the butt to take apart, and beyond my skills to put back together...) I got an iAudio X5 L and stuck Rockbox on it. After a few years, I upgraded the HDD to a CF-Card using a CF-to-miniIDE adaptor. I loved the battery life on that thing.

But, sadly, now I just use a phone for everything.

I am very happy though that I can at least have foobar2000 on my phone. But, I really miss the well thought-out tactile UI of my previous dedicated players.

I love foobar2000. I recently switched to Android and it didn't occur to me that I could use foobar on my phone. Thanks!

The unit I had also. I put a larger hdd in, I think CF would have been neat. The recorder function was good

Check out the book "Lost Caves of St. Louis" - it even contains a map of the caves.
