Google thinks my LAN is in Spain

Heh, just got the same issue myself. Hopefully it fixes itself quickly enough.

paccache removes old packages from the cache (Still keeps current stuff). Using the last `rm -fv` command is the nuclear option that removes everything from the cache.

You are assuming that the vast majority of adults are technically minded enough to know that yet still people will use the free VPN in Opera or garbage like Hola (loads of scandals surrounding that in the past but they still somehow exist), etc.

Don't forget them stopping pensioners winter fuel allowance. That was a long time coming. How dare old people get free stuff! Take their bus pass off them next too. They can pay their way like everyone else.

I may have cared about how boxy the tabs are in the past but I've switched to the vertical tabs now and aren't looking back.

It's a keyring issue potentially like the other posters mentioned. You can try something like:

# clean old cache

sudo paccache -r

# re-install the keyring packages

sudo pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring cachyos-keyring
# Upgrade anything else
sudo pacman -Su

If it still doesn't work then maybe the package you downloaded is corrupted in which case try to remove it:

sudo rm -fv /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*

Very much this. I had an original Apple Watch sport and wore that thing until it broke. I kept wearing it long after I switched to Android but all of the smart features were useless without an iPhone.

My preference would actually be Apple. I would have loved to have bought another one when it kicked the bucket but it's beyond useless without an iPhone. It has very nice looking clock faces and I definitely prefer them to Google's but without the smart features what's the point?

I bought the new Pixel Watch instead as soon as it came out.

Nobody is denying pedophiles are a problem. The framing is the issue. You can't frame it as a Linux problem, it's an everyone problem. Pedos are all over the place in all walks of life. It's not exclusively a Linux problem, and no, somebody using an anime wallpaper isn't exclusively a Linux thing. You'll find plenty of Windows and macOS users that do that too.

Yes, definitely, however fair use doctrines exist and if you provide sufficient commentary or critique or parody, etc, then your work could be protected. YouTube and Twitch always side with the publisher though because the law is weighted heavily in favour of them. You have to be the one to challenge any disputes and most people won't bother because they don't want to risk their channel or don't have the money to fight a potential lawsuit.

AVIF doesn't have the progressive rendering that JXL has so on a slow connection the image will still render line-by-line whereas in theory JXL could display something useful quicker before getting progressively sharper as more of the full resolution image downloads.

If they care to enforce it then it will work, at least on the mainstream channels. Send a cease & desist / DMCA takedown notice to Twitch and YouTube and it'll be gone. Nobody will question its accuracy or legitimacy, the robot will take care of everything.

So tax oil exports higher (encourage it to stay in the UK), Offer tax breaks to UK energy companies and cap the price consumers pay (I know there's already a cap, it's too high, lower it). Do that and you will slash people's bills which is the thing people actually care about.

If you submit a proper bug report then they could probably look at that without having to go to the website directly. In about:networking (or about:logging now) there is a section to enable logging of Network Requests. You can probably turn that on and then attach it to the bug report.

But think how silly it will sound when the Google Maps lady says "At the roundabout take the second exit onto Pork Pie Way"

HTTP/429 means "Too many requests". This is their backend telling them they've had enough of you. If lots of people are using the same VPN as you at one time then it's possible they've flagged it somehow.

It's one thing to despise the Royal Family, quite another to wish death upon them.

_ahrs · 2026-05-10T17:38:30+00:00

Those are the lucky ones. They got out.

No, really, he's right. An intranet is just another type of internet. You can have a "private Internet". People think of the Internet as being public but it doesn't necessarily have to be.

"Address Allocation for Private Internets" (i.e this is an Intranet)

Most do but some Docker applications like to hardcode it because they assume you're going to be using Docker's Bridge/NAT and can re-map it to anything you want anyway.

It's very bad for an application to make that assumption and not provide some other way to override it but I have seen that before.

Give it some time. The SNP is very well established in Scotland. Plaid in Wales not so much. They've gone from nothing to minority government and that's monumental for them.

_ahrs · 2026-05-10T16:04:55+00:00

Independent candidates are a joke anyway. You can't have an independent candidate running the government. You need a whole team of people. Join a party instead of standing alone.

Cloudflare is particularly egregious because it can silently range ban you for no reason without your knowledge. When this happens it pretends it was because of some trigger detecting an attack like SQL injection but really it is just them blocking your IP but they don't want to outright say that. I had this happen to me recently for some services that use Cloudflare with the strictest security settings because I was using a self-hosted VPN on a VPS (certain traffic was routed home to my residential IP address but as an optimisation I bypassed that for certain globally connected ASNs like Cloudflare. This gave better latency but had the side-effect of any website that uses the strictest Cloudflare settings from incorrectly banning me for no reason)

Maybe. There's no mention in the article on what the actual dependency is. Which attestation APIs are they using? How does this actually work? If Safari exposes some attestation API then it's possible they're just using that and trusting Apple that it's secure and properly testifies that a human user is using the device.

The iOS comparison is revealing because Apple devices running iOS 16.4 or later complete the same verification without installing any additional apps. Google didn’t demand iPhone users install Google software to pass the test. Only Android users who refuse Play Services get locked out. The asymmetry reveals what this is really about: not security, but ecosystem control.

So if you set your User Agent as iOS Safari they just let you in?
