Rachel has blogged quite a bit about blocking badly behaved RSS Clients in recent years.

I'd link you to one of the articles if I wasn't blocked too, and my VPN wasn't also blocked!

Unfortunately that blocking is buggy and overzealous.

I just gave up eventually and unsubscribed from the RSS feed.


All the comments there seem to suggest that there has been no change and that robots.txt isn't required.


I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem!



I'm really surprised at how Temporal is only just rolling out in Chrome stable.

I would have hoped it'd be ready for wider use by now.

We’ve been loving using it in our Deno servers since last year. It’s been frustrating that we haven’t been able to upgrade our web client date logic yet, since even though Firefox has supported Temporal for a while, Chrome have really dragged their feet


I don't know if that's totally fair to Chrome. The specification was undergoing a lot of changes at the time, and V8 decided to wait for the specification to stabilize; meanwhile, Anba kept working on the implementation for FireFox. Additionally, the version of Temporal that Deno exposed last year was the heavily out of date to the most recent specification and had a large portion of the specification that was not even implemented.


All the chromiums are scheduled for this week. Still TP for WebKit.


That is nearly a year old now.

There were previously supply issues with these drugs throughout Europe, but those were mostly resolved by the end of 2024.

By mid-2025, it was (and still is) possible to easily get all of the medicines for any of the approved uses, including weight loss and diabetes.


>What occurs if your order is placed in a bucket of other priority deliveries? Doesn't that simply become a regular order? Also, AFAIK based on some digging, the drivers are not alerted to priority orders they are simply routed for it. That could have changed though.

At least on the platforms in the UK, the only thing that priority is advertised as doing is making your driver exclusively deliver your food.

If you don't choose priority, you'll probably end up waiting for the driver to pick up/deliver other people's food along the way.

It doesn't make the restaurant prepare the food faster. It also doesn't allocate you a driver more quickly.

It just means that the driver goes straight to pick your food up, then straight to you to deliver it.


From the Uber website:

> If you select the Priority Delivery option, a Priority Fee will be added on top of the delivery fee for your order to be dropped off first in case of a batched delivery.

Looks as if the only requirement is that you are first in a batched delivery. However, does not cover anything about picking up at multiple locations or waiting for separate orders. Nor does it explain multiple priority orders in a batch.


I'm from the UK and had honestly not heard of the arrow.

I've checked my Toyota Yaris, and it's there!


Christmas has become more and more of a secular holiday over the years.

I think that's true in many western countries.


Tailscale is free for pretty much everything you'd want to do as a home user.

It also doesn't constantly try and ram any paid offerings down your throat.

I was originally put off by how much Tailscale is evangelised here, but after trying it, I can see why it's so popular.

I have my Ubuntu server acting as a Tailscale exit node.

I can route any of my devices through it when I'm away from home (e.g. phone, tablet, laptop).

It works like a VPN in that regard.

Last year, I was on a plane and happened to sit next to an employee of Tailscale.

I told him that I thought his product was cool (and had used it throughout the flight to route my in-flight Wi-fi traffic back to the UK) but that I had no need to pay for it!
