The crazy thing is that people are suggesting things that should simply be added on as a function of the site. It's 2019, Dark mode is here to stay, why not just add it natively instead of having to install yet another plug-in/add-in/extension?


Did you know the original proposal for CSS was meant to include "user styles"?

They where even supposed to be blended on how much they should be yours or the websites.

         User            Author
  Font   o-----x--------------o 64%
  Color  o-x------------------o 90%
  Margin o-------------x------o 37%
  Volume o---------x----------o 50%

That is an unusual idea, although a lot of that stuff is good idea. Some of my ideas I wrote in a document how to make a better web browser program, some are similar to this, and some aren't, and some of the stuff in this document I can add.

Some things may be a problem when using multiple text colours in a single document (or to do reverse video when the document does not specify its own colours). But I had already thought of a way to work with that, which is to support indexed colours. (You could specify both an indexed and direct colour for the same property, so that the direct colour is normally used, but the indexed colour helps when needed.)

Of course, I would do it now with the existing CSS rather than the format there, although many things would be using "privileged" CSS codes, not available to document writers but are available to the user. There would also be additional unprivileged codes available, usable by both the user and the document author.

I also thought that many things can be done with "data-" attributes and CSS styles for availability by user stylesheets even if the document author does not use them. (I have used them in HTML documents that actually have no CSS at all, for this reason.)


Luckily userstyles have the privilege of loading last. I e.g. re-color my visited links globally.


Because I disagree; user preferences should be a function of the client software rather than a function of the site. (This is especially true when the web page does not have its own CSS, or if it is a plain text file; then the user preferences on the client are used to decide the fonts, colours, etc. The web site shouldn't care about this.)


I got 3 Axis cameras, they are great. Luckily they were gifted to me as it would have run me several thousand dollars to purchase myself.


I had some issues with ZM so ended up going with Shinobi, they are pretty new to the FOSS security system space but so far I'm liking it a lot.


Ta for the heads up. I'm always on the look out for stuff sigh Freshmeat.

ZM isn't perfect but it has been around for a very long time. Would you mind sharing your reasons for dumping ZM and why Shinobi cured them?

I'm diving in here: https://shinobi.video/docs/


Yeah I have to agree with this. If you're savvy enough to setup your own close-looped surveillance system then you're savvy enough to check if the camera is pinging home to a China-based server. And if it is then just block all WAN connections from that IP.


I have the same exact bag, had it for about 3 years. Still great. Got inspired by Mr. Robot and had to get one.


That's what I was digging for as well, as it's LTE based I can't imagine a consistent connection or a particularly fast connection.


Gotta love vice: >Motherboard identified an MPC employee thanks to those company database records, web domain information, and the business card. Two sources confirmed this person’s role in the company, with both saying he acted as a “frontman” for The Brothers. When reached for comment via email, the frontman asked Motherboard “[Where] did you hear about MPC.” He did not respond to a series of follow-up emails or messages. Motherboard is not naming the person as they have not previously been named in media reports, and to minimize any potential harm or retaliation against the individual for being identified.

So you're telling us how to find out who this person is..


How do they plan on loading up an iphone or android phone with a 'trojan'? This seems to be more an excuse to get police some sort of excuse to be able to snoop even more than what they currently can.


I see a lot of scrutiny in the comments, but the simple fact is that they are actively trying to secure their users data to whatever extent they can. This shows a great form of care from a company and pushes me as a consumer to use them. Yes Iceland has had reports of letting the US pull drives before. No I wouldn't think to plant my servers in Iceland. But the fact that they are considering all of this is a big big + in my opinion.

Most countries who have INTL fiber cables running in/out of them will have a direct link to a "surveillance" country, but as long as encryption is sufficient then the data is still relatively secure. and pulling RAM to inspect the memory is a pretty hard thing to get away from.

I think this is as thoughtful as it gets when considering user and company privacy.


Gotta love that the article has 0 mentions of the main cause: Vitamin E being added to the solution alongside THC oil. This is the sole reason, not nicotine, nor PG/VG.
