I’ve heard that the original Linux kernel binaries+blobs are pretty huge

The kernel is <10MB and the initrd <20MB. "Pretty huge" is relative here.

You could override your kernel and strip stuff out of the initrd and I can assure you that it's going to be a lot of pain but it's easier to just make a 1GB boot partition these days and pretty much never worry about bloat again.

You don't need to get it set up with your domain. All you need is the IP address of the machine it's running on; either local or Tailscale address. Just type it into the browser URL bar. I.e. http://192.168.0.1:8080/ is a valid URL.

Now, obviously you'd want to have the ability to do things like type a human readable domain name and have SSL certificates but they're not technically necessary. Until I found the time to set up my reverse proxy, I used my Paperless using a bookmark to the IP address and port.

Pointing your domain at a Tailscale address is pretty simple, you just need to add an A record wherever your domain's DNS zone is configured which points at the IP address (e.g. 100.107.42.69).

Nope, way too young for that. The most boomery shooter I ever played before that is probably Tribes Ascend.

The mode we played didn't. I'm sure there are ways to configure this.

it’s become more of a community for general, genuine questions, rather than one seeking subjective experience or thoughts.

I wasn't around back then but I'm pretty sure it was the same for AskReddit back in the days.

One of the most famous Reddit posts is an AskReddit question where the user somehow set their Reddit interface to Spanish and asked for tech support setting it back to English and everyone responded in Spanish which is hilarious.
Such a question would instantly be removed in modern AskReddit. Well at least it would have a few months ago before the apocalypse, I don't know about the current state of affairs.

I didn't like how you had to pick up weapons from the map in the normal modes when I played on a LAN but instagib mode was hella fun. Fragging three people while bunny-hopping into the flag room and fragging two more on the way out is something you just have to experience.

Hm, copying the first link "without site tracking" still gives me this:

You also have no idea what kagi is doing with your data

We in fact do have an idea what they do and don't do:

• Searches are anonymous and private to you. Kagi does not log and associate searches with an account.
• We do not log or store your IP address. Your IP address is used only temporarily when enriching location/maps searches, and is not shared with any other party.
• We only store cookies needed for site functionality.
• We do not use any web browser analytics or other frontend telemetry.
• We do not display any ads, or have any first-party or third-party tracking in service of ads.
• We do not share customer data with third parties, except as needed to perform explicitly accessed services. In those cases, we will share the minimum amount of data needed to provide the service, and will do so in an anonymous way.
• We collect only the data needed to provide and protect the service.
• We proxy all images to prevent tracking from third parties.
• We use HTTPS encryption everywhere. All passwords are hashed and salted.

These terms are legally binding. If they did log searches despite these terms, that could end their business.

it’s inherently eventually unprivate since it relies on a login.

Not anonymous != unprivate.

Even if it was, I don't think it's different for all of the other search engines. For example: I do not believe for one second that Google can't identify you without being logged into your account; even with all the blocklisting your typical ad-blocker does.
Go try and fool https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/ if you want to go try how little even things like incognito mode help against identification on the web and this is all just relatively simple client-side analysis without behaviour tracking.

There is nothing wrong with ads

I disagree that there is nothing wrong with modern propaganda but that's a topic for another discussion.

The search results on free search engines are also the product here, since they only get paid from using them for results.

No. That's the thing, they're not. Search results only serve to attract users. They only need to be good enough to be acceptable to users; everything beyond that is a waste of time and money from a business perspective.
They receive exactly $0 from you as a user. There is no sale contract between you. Therefore, you are not their customer, you are the product they sell to their actual customers.

And now you get to be the only one who breaks your system on a regular basis ;)

Such a coherent script and yet so many puns and jokes? Great video @paigesaunders@mastodon.social!

I do not believe that is the case. Youtube ads are an insanely profitable business. I suspect throwing a couple dozen of FTEs on blocking ad blockers would be <1% of current revenue.

Could it be that these are spam numbers that tried to reach you at some point but were blocked before they could?
