one parallel port (DB25)

You might even be able to use the parallel port as basic GPIO, especially if it's on the I/O bus and not some sort of PCI adapter.

Just to be that guy, 'use strict'; is specifically for JavaScript, and should still probably be used. With xHTML there were a few different DTDs that went in the DOCTYPE, Strict being one of them.

Some websites like Facebook and Google work, but other websites like Lemmy (any instance), Reddit, my CMMS, various wholesaler sites hosted both in AU and worldwide, are affected.

I wonder if IPv4 is somehow wonky, but IPv6 is working fine? Since Facebook and Google definitely support IPv6, the others may not (although Reddit should too).

You could try comparing ping -4 and ping -6 when it happens. That is if your network supports IPv6.

If you do get any inconsistencies with ping, you could also try experimenting with traceroute/tracert, to see where the delay happens.

Don't Python scripts need python at the beginning of the command that summons them?

Not if the script has a python shebang (e.g. #!/usr/bin/env python3), then it will run like any other script.

You can setup a Forgejo Action that deploys the site using Cloudflare Wrangler. Codeberg uses Forgejo, and GitLab CI/CD should work too.

If Wrangler is too hard I think there's a webhook thing, but I'm not too sure.

Pretty sure they're talking about why the meme says, 'WINDOWS', 'LINUX', and 'ios'.

It's worse with AppImages since they bundle everything in the same file. At least flatpaks do a little bit of deduplication with their platform packages.

Fun fact: IP version 5 is actually reserved for the Internet Streaming Protocol.

Not OP, but BIOSes often give you a specific error code after a few wrong password attempts. You can put the code in here to recover the password: https://bios-pw.org/

Cert pinning is pretty uncommon in the self hosting community though, especially when both Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt have a 90 day validity period and often renews after 60 days.

Uhh, this might be true for WebRTC, except not much uses WebRTC other than for realtime streaming/calling. Jellyfin for example is just an mp4 stream over http; and http(s) will only use the IP in the DNS record. I'd like to see a packet capture if you are certain something is switching IP.

I’m pretty sure QWERTY telegraph keyboards post-date typewriters.

Yeah they do! Actually a Japanese research paper (and this video) also theorises that they also grouped similar sounding letters in American Morse Code together (e.g. Z ∙ ∙ ∙  ∙ & SE ∙ ∙ ∙   ∙, or C ∙ ∙  ∙ & S ∙ ∙ ∙)

 

I was basically thinking of a simple browser app for Android that automatically makes its requests over a Wireguard tunnel.

I don't publicly expose a lot of my self hosted services, most are only available over a Wireguard VPN. I don't think my family could work that out, and I also don't usually keep it enabled all the time on my phone.

It doesn't have to be a fully featured browser, I'm fine for it to be the built in Android WebView or something, and just have a configurable menu of pages that can be easily visited.

I have some Android app experience from Uni, so I could maybe help out somewhat, but I feel I'm going to be in way over my head to do this alone. I'm happy to donate a little anyway.

 

This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

[preferred]
default=kde;gtk;
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.

 
 

I'm not usually one to share links, but my old school's Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul's School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren't his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it's the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn't see it that way and sacked him.

I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone's names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I've heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn't deserve this.

Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and the Anglican Schools Commission are probably the best ways that you can help!

Thanks for Reading!
