Tell me more about the tracking code

From the "Manage Bookmarks" applet within Firefox[Menu|Bookmarks|Manage bookmarks] choose the "Import and Backup" option at the top of the applet. Choose the "Export Bookmarks to HTML" option and save the file. This will create a HTML file on your device containing all your bookmarks.

Open the HTML file in a code/text editor. Look at one of the anchor tags and you will see the contents of "HREF", "ADD_DATE", "LAST_MODIFIED", "ICON_URI" and "ICON". Only the "HREF" is necessary to make the anchor tag functional. All of the others serve other purposes. Most of the others makes some sense, but seem obsessive to me. The longest, sometimes hundreds of characters long, is the "ICON" item. That long string of characters concerns me and looks suspiciously like the traffic I see when I use network monitor inside Inspect. To me it looks like a tracking code.

Of course I may be wrong, but none of that stuff is necessary except the HREF. The script I wrote strips off everything except the HREF, puts it in a new anchor tag, and it works fine. Really this is just old school HTML.


Side note: My LG Watch Sport smartwatch was able to determine what weight training workout I was performing and somehow figured the weight with astonishing accuracy.

This is KDE activities. Install the latest version then you can setup environments based on your activity. Been a feature since (checks notes) 2008.

MacOS people really will pay for just about anything. Actually, it appears that they PREFER to pay.

For the people who's mail service blocks you and they cannot or will not change their mail provider, what is your solution?

I would just send those domains through mailgun with a transport map in postfix, it probably wouldn't even break the free tier.

If you use mailgun or similar you have to setup dkim keys for them and add them to your spf.

> There's a reason why xAI has zero enterprise customers

I’m curious where you pull these stats from


I've had hundreds of AI-powered vendor tools come across my desk as part of my job, and I have yet to see a single one that uses Grok. I'm also not aware of any publicly announced customers for Grok's enterprise offering. The Grok Enterprise website doesn't list any customers.



Very clever!


In firefox, goto about:config and search for url.

You're welcome.


You still need the slides to communicate risk, cost, delivery estimates etc. a great way to get your own team and move up in the org


Used to have a dual atom box in NYC that had over 3000 days of uptime. The hard drive died and they messaged me saying I had the last atom box in their datacenter. They gave me a dual e5 with 64gb ram for the original price of my 2gb atom box. This is how you generate loyalty. I will never leave them.


In the late 90s, I leased Cobalt RAQ servers from RackSpace. During this time, RackSpace had exceptional customer service. I could call support and be connected with a skilled Unix SysAdmin within minutes. Even though I was responsible for the entire system, the would happily login to the system and advise me how how to deal with any issues.

After about 5 years, I called to shutdown my last Cobalt server. A week later, they called to ask if they could ship me server. No Cost

Turns out it was the last of the Colbalt RAQs and the oldest server in their fleet
