But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

Romans 6:17‭-‬18

Good point - I usually keep two weeks of daily backups just in case

To add to this, if you have the storage then a solution like Macrium Reflect (or a FOSS alternative) is a great option too. I let my PC back itself up every morning before I wake up, then if something happens to it (virus, broken driver, bad install, etc.), I can just revert it to the state it was in earlier that morning using a recovery drive.

Windows Defender has also gotten pretty good over the past couple years - features like controlled folder access will protect sensitive data from ransomware (I just use it on my backup folder). The combination of the two has been plenty for me to deal with viruses or broken programs - I haven’t had to run a clean install of Windows in 4 years.

Oh huh, TIL. I had always assumed they were all webkit just due to the amount of compatibility code I’ve had to implement in CSS with -webkit styles. It makes sense that a fork like Blink would be backwards compatible with those though

Chromium and its forks actually all use WebKit as well: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/displaying-a-web-page-in-chrome/

WebKit: Rendering engine shared between Safari, Chromium, and all other WebKit-based browsers.

It seems Kbin’s been having some hiccups serving magazines because I’ve had the same thing with 404 errors - it should work if you refresh a few times

I will absolutely check this out, thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: I can’t get searx working at all for me, but I went ahead and implemented whoogle support

Each one has its upsides and downsides. Kbin’s search is more convenient for certain use cases, but it suffers from the same problem as Reddit’s search - it always sorts by new no matter what. In addition, it can only index instances with which kbin has federated. FediSearch should in theory index every instance, regardless of federation status, and do so in such a way that the most useful posts show first (assuming Google does its job).

I’m hoping to expand the project to hopefully be a bit more robust - I’ll definitely keep this on my radar

Will do o7

Edit: It seems Brave doesn’t support chaining site specifiers, so my current method won’t work with their search

I would guess that it is the cloudflare protection, since that will have prevented crawlers from indexing the site while it was enabled.

Y’know I was originally pretty upset about everything with Reddit but since I found the amazing community here (and nuked my Reddit account so I’m watching from the sidelines), I can’t help but find all this hilarious. Went from upsetting API changes to the John Oliver invasion in a few days and I’m all here for it.

PHP has more $s in it than spez’s eyes

Personally I’m just going to miss the oddly specific meme subreddits like r/breadstapledtotrees and r/suspiciousquotes

I mean there’s always archive.org and the various other internet caches that contain a large portion of Reddit’s knowledge.
