@kev I recommend using a combination of uBlockOrigin and uMatrix. With both, you can seriously clean up your browsing experience and not just block ads but trackers and profilers of all sorts. uMatrix also gives you useful insight into what 3rd parties websites are connecting to 😉

I see you.

I see you helping a friend, a fedizen, someone who'll prolly become a mutual in some hours or less;

I see you boosting that signal, so that help can reach the intended recipient faster than it would without your click;

I see you replying to a stranger's Introductions post, welcoming them to Fedi and offering help with any questions;

I see you developing tools and/or ideas that are useful for our communities here, often for free, and many times in the shadows;

I see you, and I try to reach you, or at least boost you so other you's can get to you, and we all grow up together. Stronger.

Thank you ​

Now I gotta run!

Hi! I'm 33, disabled, unemployed and have Multiple Sclerosis among other chronic illnesses.

I need help with medical bills, physio & meds.

I have a ko-fi at: https://ko-fi.com/eloisa

I also have a #wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/26OM415O8PB9K (mainly for self-care & stuff I can't really afford right now).

If you can and are willing to help me in some way (boosts also help a lot!), I'd appreciate it tons!

Thank you!

My mind is being blown by what you can do with SAT/SMT solvers in Python. You can use them to solve sudoku puzzles in just a handful of lines! I'm starting to wonder what you can't do with them...

idea for new mastodon feature

A filesystem where each directory can have only one subdirectory.

I'd just like to say, big props to #DuckDuckGo for this type of answer. Very cool.

We've got a pad-in-progress here. If you see a game you want to play, add your name below it. If you don't see a game you want to play, add it in alphabetical order and add your name below it 😁

Idea: Large-scale cracking contests as a sport.

You have an attack team and a defense team. There's some kind of system (Web site, application, database, email, whatever) that is the focus of the whole thing.

The defense team gets a few hours to harden the system, then the attack team gets some time to try to break in and achieve one of several objectives. The attackers get more points the more they accomplish (theft > destruction > DoS). The defenders get more points the longer they hold out.
