In addition to the BIOS settings, I had to create a systemd service that prevents Linux from disabling Wake-on-LAN on shutdown.

In my native language, fediverse translates to “fédivers” which sounds like “faits divers” the “incidents” or “'news briefs” section of a journal.

Wait, did Apple implement its own codec? I thought even the Airpods Max used AAC, which is lossy.

As for Qualcomm, only aptX Lossless is lossless and I’m not aware of many products supporting it (most supports aptX HD at most)

Yeah, I use Caddy for that, as I only use DNS-01 for local-only services.

I have been using BunkerWeb for the past 4 years and have been mostly happy with it. Its default settings are sometimes a bit agressive but you can change those globally or service per service.

I encrypted my professional laptop’s drive in order to prevent access to company data and code in case of theft. And I’ll probably encrypt my personal laptop as well because the SSH key can access company code.

As for the desktop, I didn’t and probably never will, because theft is less likely and that would be a pain to handle for nightly backups (it is turned on with Wake-on-LAN and then a cron backs up my home directory to my NAS).

Finally, I won’t encrypt my NAS as well for the same reason: it would quickly become a hassle as I would have to manually decrypt the drives every time it boots after a power outage.

My theory is that it is used in the belief that it would trick and bypass algorithms used to detect copyrighted videos.

Software that bypass Cloudflare’s hCaptcha exist, notably Flaresolverr, but changedetection.io’s maintainer hasn’t worked on its integration yet.

I haven’t used Flaresolverr directly (I use it with Prowlarr), but maybe you could proxy your requests through it?

Yeah, the janky foundation made me and my boss wish we chose Java for the back-end multiple times. I like async / await (or coroutines in Kotlin-land), it’s easier to wrap my head around than Promises / Futures and I thought I would miss Reactive Programming, but not that much.

Yet, people willingly choose to use one of the most horrific ecosystems out there.

So far I have heard the following explanations for going full-stack JS

• Ability to re-use business logic in back-end and front-end

• Reduced context switching (though with frameworks that’s less true)

• You don’t have to recruit developers proficient in your back-end language in addition to Javascript

Personally, having worked on a full-stack Typescript project for the past year, I kinda miss the maturity of Java’s ecosystem: there is usually one mature and well-maintained library that does its job really well ; while in Javascript-land there are multiple libraries for a single job, each with varying quality and maturity, and most of them are no longer maintained.

This is anecdotal experience, but last time I left Wireguard on for an entire day and it accounted for 5% of battery usage that day.

I believe you swapped DoT (TLS, port 853) and DoH (HTTPS) in your message. I have yet to be in a network that restricts port 853, but if I could I would rather use DoH on Android.

My main advice would be to get multiple hubs, because your 6 drives would share the same bandwidth. Also hubs with more than 4 ports are in fact multiple hubs chained together because most chips in hubs handle 4 devices at most. So it would be better to spread your drives on as much USB ports as possible.

I’m not familiar with Nextcloud, but from reading the How to use this? section of the README I believe you can run it behind a reverse proxy:

--publish 80:80 This means that port 80 of the container should get published on the host using port 80. It is used for getting valid certificates for the AIO interface if you want to use port 8443. It is not needed if you run AIO behind a web server or reverse proxy and can get removed in that case as you can simply use port 8080 for the AIO interface then.

(Emphasis mine, in “Explanation of the command”)

My understanding is you only have to forward traffic from the reverse proxy to the port 8080. It uses a self-signed certificate though, so you might check if the reverse proxy you are using checks certificates signatures for upstream servers.

It is possible, what you’re looking for is a reverse proxy: it’s an HTTP server that will listen to the standard ports for HTTP and HTTPS that will redirect traffic to the chosen service based on the domain name or URL.

In your case, every subdomain would point to your VPS’s IP and traffic that’s for mastodon.example.tld will be seemlesly proxied to your Mastodon container.

Do some research on Caddy or Nginx, and I strongly recommend you learn Docker Compose and Docker networking, it will help you make it easier to maintain everything.

PS: CNAME pointing to A record is the way to go. You can do it one better by having a CNAME entry for *.example.tld, so that you don’t have to create a CNAME entry for every new service you deploy, but you better make sure that your reverse proxy won’t proxy requests to an unexpected container when requesting a bogus subdomain.

I already did back when Microsoft announced they would drop WMR, but it was (and still is) pretty experimental, with no controller support and 6DoF requiring external tracking.

to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux

For me it’s one year to keep Windows Mixed Reality working. I’m still miffed that they pulled the plug with no alternative other than putting my headset in the bin and get a new one…

Hum, I never considered this option, though a bug in the CAN bus is more likely than brake lights being out. Some Renault cars were notorious for this, but in this instance I believe it was a Volkswagen Touran.

It’s more a near-miss than an accident, but here we go:

We were coming back from holidays with my dad, he was driving and I was riding shotgun. We were on the highway (middle lane to be exact) when the car in front of us suddenly lost speed, brake lights still off. My dad was able to narrowly avoid the car, it’s frightening to think that we probably owe our life to his reaction time. To this day we have no idea what happened.

I recall that Acer laptops had a reputation of being unreliable over 10 years ago already, I’m surprised it had not improved since then.
