  • I wouldn’t use it.

    Seems to me like free plan is what browsers natively support anyway. (Scam site blacklist. I highly suspect they use the same. They can’t compete with the one Google hosts and all major browsers integrate.)

    And instead of paying 15 usd per month, Windows defender is a well funded, well established, well trusted solution.

    There’s no practical gain in blockage before download. Windows defender scans upon and after download, before execution.


  • Usually, your consent is a simple yes/no flag, no and saving that in a cookie is enough.

    I have seen this “processing” before. My assumption was that it sets cookies on third parties websites instead of only the one you visit. The basis for that assumption being that some ad network and tracker websites have/offer “opt out cookies”.

    I haven’t checked whether that’s actually the case.

    There is no other reasonably valid explanation for it. Setting a few cookies doesn’t take that much time. It would then be either intentionally slow and lying to you, or has horrendous unacceptable implementation (which could be seen as unlikely given how obviously customer facing it is).


  • It is.

    Blazor is a big framework. It gives you a lot, but as a framework, also introduces stack complexity.

    Being able to code on one C# codebase for a web application client and server is great. It’s very fast. You can use modern C# syntax. You have component (CSS) isolation. You can switch and mix between runtime targets (server dom rendering and sending diff-updates or client-side app execution).

    At work, we’re using it for a webportal/webapp and I have not fundamentally regretted us using it. It’s definitely not worse than anything else. For a productive development and product there’s a little bit of framework knowledge you have to learn, but that’s not different than any other framework. And docs are very good.

    I love how fast it feels to use the end product too.











  • Thoth was more than a messenger of a single message. Quoting Wikipedia:

    He was the god of the Moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and judgment.

    Thoth played many vital and prominent roles in Egyptian mythology, such as maintaining the universe, and being one of the two deities (the other being Ma’at) who stood on either side of Ra’s solar barque. In the later history of ancient Egypt, Thoth became heavily associated with the arbitration of godly disputes,[6] the arts of magic, the system of writing, and the judgment of the dead.
