    Yep, it supports ACME (Let's Encrypt) out the box and many DNS providers too. I mainly use namecheap as my registrar but configure Cloudflare as my DNS resolver; I find this easier…

    I'm not a nextcloud user but have a homelab and use traefik for my reverse proxy which is configured to use letsencrypt dns challenges to issue wildcard certificates. I use cloudfl…

    Had a peek at the repo and it looks to be a react frontend, so a JavaScript runtime is needed to "bundle" the application in a way browsers can consume. If you had the dist folder …

    Unfortunately I don't really understand the various protocols OMR supports, so my experience comes from measuring aggregated speed/latency and stability. XRay worked best for me an…

    I've been using this for around 6 months now to aggregate a 70 mbit FTTC connection and 150-450 mbit 5G connection; overall it works pretty well. The FTTC connection is the "master…

    If you want a full fidelity warc file, browsertrix-crawler is nice. It is slower than wget on account of using chrome, but it works better for sites with highly dynamic content and…

    I've been looking at this project for a while which may be interesting to you: https://github.com/Ysurac/openmptcprouter . I recently bought a property where I cannot get a full fi…

    The architecture of the app didn't seem related to the "DDoS" attack they're describing. If it's only their setup file being downloaded, I imagine their backend isn't even touched,…

    The charts don't make this particularly clear, but the text summary mentions "Windows is stronger in terms of 1% percentile frame times.". It's still open to interpretation what ex…

    Have you tried running JetBrains IDEs from within WSL so it is "native". I tried this a couple of years ago and WSLg had some issues which may be fixed by now, e.g. the find and re…

    I used to use https://github.com/berglh/ubuntu-sb-kernel-signing and the mainline tool from cappelikan ppa, I think it worked on even with DKMS modules such as the Nvidia driver. I…

    Nice, thanks for sharing this. I use sslip.io but they do not provide TLS certificates, so acme v1 validation is required using a wan IP address and ensuring router port forwarding…

    Yes, given the 4K WEB-DL releases it seems a few groups/individuals possess the knowledge of decrypting L1 content. Occasionally an L1 key will be leaked but is burnt quickly. I th…

    My guess is that Widevine is pretty universally supported across multiple streaming platforms (i.e. won the DRM format war, even for audio) and 720p is good enough for most users. …

    I don't have (all of) those services but they're not like for like comparable for any services using Widevine, e.g. Amazon, Netflix and Disney. A Linux install will give you access…

    Are you using any electron based apps? I find them to be much blurrier when using fractional scaling versus Xorg so I'm running my monitors at native rather than my preferred scale…

    I browse HN mainly on mobile and it can feel quite cluttered, definitely useable but non idempotent operations like flagging a post have no confirmation. For the most part, I think…

    While this may not solve your problem, I use docker-network-connect which lets me connect directly to containers running in the 172.x.x.x range. By default, macOS does not support …

    Windows XP also supported this natively, i.e. track at once rather than disc at once behaviour.

    Using Netflix as the example, Widevine L1 has very limited support on the desktop, i.e. Microsoft Edge on Windows and Safari on macOS. All other configurations use L3 which is a sh…

    If a language change were to update `typeof null` to return `"null"` isObject would not break, the second condition would only be unnecessary. However, other code which may make as…

    I'm not sure of prices in your region, but I see 20TB drives priced competitively to 8TB drives in terms of price/terabyte. I've been thinking of building a new media array to repl…
