I mean yeah, they understand what breaks, but without crunching the numbers they won't know much of anything useful about failure rates. Anecdotal data is still anecdotal even at larger volumes until you properly analyst it.

    This doesn't work though because they're not analysts. The brands they see broken the most are simply the top selling or top used brands by volume. I think the most repaired washing machine is Speed Queen or something - a commercial brand that based on a nieve read of the number is constantly breaking... except those things run constantly at laundromats, so are actually super reliable!

    I just installed this via Docker Compose and it looks good! Very similar to PDF24 but open source and more polished.Only a couple comments - first, bentopdf/bentopdf-simple is definitely the image you want since the other has marketing for companies.And then a tiny nitpick, but why isn't "Full Width Mode" the default? It comes disabled which displays PDFs in narrow little boxes where you can't see the full page width at a readable size. Anyway, thank you! Very useful and super easy to setup.

    It may be for beginners, but this is not written by or for normal people! The "Why Build Your Own Sovereign Cloud" intro literally starts explaining how modems work and twisted pair wires... Its very much written for somebody who wants to nerd out and fixate on the technical underpinnings of everything, not your average friend who wants to replace Google Photos.

    Wait, so any app on Android with network access can just open a localhost port and then a browser script can share all your private browsing data via that port? Even on GrapheneOS? How is that not restricted?? What's stopping your banking apps or "sandboxed" Google Play store from doing this and tracking everything?
