I installed the app on my iPad iOS 18.5, then tried to enable the extension in Safari. (Settings -> Apps -> Safari -> Extensions).

Result: "uBo Lite" is not supported by this version of Safari"

Yup, same thing here. Gonna try on my Mac soon. Will keep us updated.

I'm not, and just saying that "Mazdas and Toyotas tend to rust" is an extreme generalization (of which you provide no source).
eckelhesten · a month ago
It’s a well known fact if you’re remotely interested in cars. Mazda has supposedly upped their game lately regarding rust, but they and other Japanese brands are still regarded inferior to Volvo/german cars in terms of falling apart to rust in our Nordic climate.

You can use car.info to if you want to dig further on this (statistik på skrotade bilar). Or just ask your favorite LLM. You don’t have to take my word for it.

Japan doesn’t salt their roads nearly as much as we do.

> And I’m saying this as a Swede. Buy German cars

And I'm saying _this_ as a Swede, because apparently it matters: what cars are most reliable is publicly available information, and they're all from Asia. My personal favorite is Toyota.

eckelhesten · a month ago
I assume you're referring to Länsförsäkringars list of most reliable cars (in terms of engine/mechanical fault).

While it's true that it's mainly asian/Japanese cars that are least reported, that doesn't make them the most reliable in general.

Mazdas and Toyotas tend to rust off in our nordic weather way faster than german brands or older Volvos. Sure, the engine might still run but what difference does it make if it's all become a piece of rust that is ready to fall apart within ten years.

I feel it's quite off-base to associate the quality of a car to a country. The quality of a car is a statistical quantity that's mostly related to a specific model of car.

There are at least 3 wrong insinuations in the above post.

1. Volvo engineering is still mostly based in Sweden. Geely has mostly not touched it. So it's still Swedish -- thus it is still Swedish quality and safety. If it has gone down, then it's Swedish quality and safety that has gone down.

2. Many Chinese cars are now high quality.

3. That countries are correlated with quality is a lazy mental shortcut. Many Mitsubishi are not high quality, despite being Japanese.

Also the Volvo EX90 (in the article) is made in Charleston SC.

Quality is not just based on the design some office workers come up with. It’s also manufacturing process, material sourcing (iron ore etc) and processing of these materials.

The list goes on. But yeah, if I look at for instance Volvo EX30 or EX40 etc, they look very ”off” somehow and doesn’t scream ”built to last” any longer.

Compared to the older XC70, 740 and so on which are built like locomotives.

I strongly believe that some countries correlate with quality (in general, and depending on the subject). It has to do with the way of working I guess. People in countries with stronger hierarchy in the workplace tend to polish away the faults and shortcomings when reporting to their superiors.

I don’t believe there’s anything strange in thinking that way. It’s as if saying the Avocados in Peru is generally better and higher quality than the Avocados produced in Spain.

Volvo sadly no longer stands for Swedish quality and safety.

What you’re buying is essentially an overpriced Chinese car with Volvo stickers.

And I’m saying this as a Swede. Buy German cars, specifically within the Volkswagen auto group (Audi, VW, Skoda etc) if you want reliable quality.

eckelhesten commented on Why not use DNS over HTTPS (DoH)?   bsdhowto.ch/doh.html... · Posted by u/Bogdanp

How does this prevent a random application from making an HTTPS request to a random hard-coded IP address? Similarly, how does this prevent an application from making an HTTPS request to a generic host (e.g., api.example.com)?

This is what DoH looks like from outside the application. You can't really tell that it's DoH since it's just an HTTPS connection, which is kind of the whole point of it.

eckelhesten · 3 months ago
Theoretically you could domainblock known DoH servers that certain applications would use.

But yes, I believe that if an application try hard enough there are ways to bypass any set of rules you set on a device. Luckily, most applications just use the internal libresolv for any domain resolving needs.

That’s incorrect. I use DNSecure (iOS app) to relay all DNS traffic on my iPhone to my DNScrypt-proxy server which I host on the internet (make sure you know what you do before exposing DNS servers on the internet).

It’s awesome because I have system wide tracker/adblocking which works whether or not I’m on my LAN and even with Apple Private Relay on.

And in case it wasn’t clear. Yes it’s DNS-over-HTTPs and no one except my server and njal.la know about my queries.

Mister_Snuggles · 3 months ago
The thing that bothers me most about DoH is that it moves the responsibility for name resolution from the operating system to each application. So now you don't have the ability to set up your own DNS server system-wide, you need to do it per-application and per-device. Assuming, of course, that the applications and devices in question allow you to do this and/or respect your choice when you do it.

Also shoving every protocol under the sun into HTTPS just feels wrong. I get why it's happening (too many middleware boxes and ISPs think internet == web). But shouldn't we fix the ISPs and middleware instead of endlessly working around it?

Any computer is general purpose if you want it hard enough.

I hope this being more accessible than other Nvidia gear allows it to develop a healthy software ecosystem that doesn't depend so much on Nvidia.

True, but not any general purpose computer comes with 1000TOPS of computational power.
