@movq @kat Any text format beats a binary configuration format. However, YAML and XML are both terrible choices in my opinion. I'd prefer YAML over XML if I had to.

Maybe someone can explain this to me.

An #EU citizen trying to access Facebook today faces the following choices (see screenshots).

In there, they say that they are asking this again to comply with #EU rules, and yet the question - and the options to choose from - are the same they had in the past.

So, hm, how does this make them comply with something they weren't complying before? What's the detail I'm missing?

To be honest though, for a mid-range and moderately priced truck, even though it's made in China (_what isn't?!_), it's _actually_ a very nice truck.
@bender I plan to trade it in within it's warranty period 🤣 It has 7yr warrants on everything, I said to the dealer, I'll see you in 5 🤣
Our truck can comfortably tow 3T (its rated for 3.5T but I'm trying to keep a fair bit of buffer and headroom all-round).
@bender That was one of the inputs into my research 🧐 So that's already factored in. We bought our new truck (2025 GWM Canon) recently to replace the 'ol 2nd hand Nissan Navara we bought that just had _too many_ things go wrong with it, and I don't have time or energy to learn to be a diesel mechanic haha 🤣 -- So yes, the SCT-16 has a Tare (unladen weight) of 2150Kg and a maximum legal (ATM) weight of 2,800Kg.

@kat I kind of like XML because it’s mostly well-defined and easy for humans to read (unlike YAML, which is a complete mess, imho) … and at the same time, it can get complicated really fast. 🫤 But at least it’s plain-text – that’s the important part in this case. 😅

After many weeks and probably at least a hundred hours of research, discussions and in-person viewing, I _think_ I've finally come up with my Final Choices (_shortlist_) of a Hybrid Camper / Caravan that I think will suit my family and that I'll enjoy (_far less work for me to setup and teardown_). The one at the top of the list I'm leaning towards os the SWAG SCT16 Family 4B #Camping #Campers

Xfce does one thing very right: It stores its settings in plain-text XML files. This allows me to easily read, track, and maybe even distribute these settings to other machines.

(Unlike GNOME’s dconf, which uses some binary file format. Fun fact: The older and now deprecated gconf also used XML files.)

@movq That's an interesting idea. For privacy, I'd just omit the Referer altogether. But maybe this helps talking to misconfigured HTTP servers that reject requests without such a header. No clue.
@lyse Hm, I don’t think so, the requested page was a Linux-specific post. 🤔 I sometimes wonder if privacy-oriented browsers might do this on purpose, to create garbage data? 🤔 No idea.

@lyse I honestly wish I could do more than just sit here and wait. It’s just a matter of time until they remove X.Org from the repos. 🫤 But I really can’t dedicate so much time to this …

HTTP referrers are quite broken, aren’t they?

Because of that recent storm on my blog, I had a peek at them. There’s a lot of garbage in there. For example, https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/disks-virtual.html is supposed to refer to one of my blog posts …
