With a reverse proxy, I don't see how this would work. The whole way the reverse proxy works is you use a subdomain name ("jellyfin.yourdomain.org") to access Jellyfin, rather than…

You've freed up 2 hours per dev per week so they can work on something else that might generate profit. Even if they goof off for an hour, that's another hour doing something usefu…

>Google's infrastructure is, IMO, a competitive advantage. The amount of vertical integration and scale is unparalleled. It's too bad they don't put this kind of thinking into thei…

It may seem "harsh", but this is simply the reality of using proprietary software. You don't have any control over it, and unless you stick with a particular version, it can change…

>Microsoft has worked for many years on their glass memory devices, which have much more important advantages, and they are still far from being able to sell such devices, mainly d…

>To be honest I think FTL is likelier than magical "sticks you to a fixed point in space relative to a rotating planet"-technology. I disagree. I'm no physicist, but given how grav…

This isn't quite right either. It's "they gain less money than they might potentially gain if piracy weren't physically possible". If the piracy avenues didn't exist, how many peop…

That's a good question. When (if) we figure out how to practically travel at FTL speeds with a "warp drive", we might figure out the answer to this question too.

>I know flying cars are some sort of futuristic trope, yet I cringe at it every time I see it. They always assume magical infinite power. No, they assume magical anti-gravity techn…

It's not a great way, admittedly, but there is a very high correlation between Republican voters and religiosity. Very high turnout for Republican candidates plus lots of active ch…

I went to one of those too, before Covid. It was great. I went to another one with the same group, but for the similar game "Witch". Then came Covid, and the group disappeared and …

I think it should be fairly easy to determine if atheists really are outsiders in parts of the US or if it's just perception: just look at voting results, and church attendance for…

>And what benefit did you get from learning Dvorak? More comfortable typing, less wrist strain, etc. It's just a better layout.

>(Well, they should tell the manufacturers…) The manufacturer rating is likely a max allowable pressure rating.

Why not pick up one of these barely-used units for cheap then?

I'm not a gamer these days, but from what I've seen, the gamers like a different type of keyswitch than regular typists. Normal typists like a clicky keyswitch where it clicks with…

You should check out Kubota stuff.

That calculator is wrong. Cycling people have been overinflating their tires for ages (as well as using too-narrow tires), with the assumption that the ground is perfectly smooth. …

You're overinflating your tires. A lower pressure will increase your speed and efficiency unless you're riding in a velodrome. Here's a video about this: https://www.youtube.com/wa…
