  • I completely forgot about coal power plants 🤦‍♂️ now it makes sense as to why mercury was even considered a viable rocket fuel.

    Very interesting, thanks for the info!

  • It's a bit shitty that anyone would even think of doing this to begin with IMO, especially considering that mercury's harmful nature is no secret!

    Mercury is otherwise found as a by-product of other processes, such as the burning of coal

    Actually susprised that it's even viable to use a byproduct of burning something else as a fuel

    Apollo Fusion [...] insisted that the composition of its propellant mixture should be considered confidential information.

    Good thing it wasn't considered in this scenario. Racing fuel using nitrous oxide and whatever is one thing, but spraying mercury everywhere into the atmosphere with a rocket honestly sounds like a sick joke

    "[...] It would give you a competitive advantage in what I imagine is a pretty tight, competitive market"

    Launching rockets is a competitive market? TIL, I thought there were only a handful of companies operating with very generous margins

  • A lot of EVs have this built in, some even include V2H so they can backfeed inverted AC to your home via the charger, but it isn't mentioned anywhere on most product pages (f150 lightning being the worst instance of this; it has a 10kW V2H inverter and there is no mention of that anywhere on its page!)

    In the other discussion thread one user noted they even had issues locating a V2H charger at all to purchase, so I guess the manufacturers don't want to explicitly set up their users for disappointment...

  • Annoying when you accidentally hit it instead of ESC in certain Windows programs, loading Microsoft's windows help website in your browser without your consent.

    On Linux it usually does nothing, as it should.

  • Looks like my next keyboard is going to be a mechanical one. I don't want a "copilot" key that I won't use!

  • It is ridiculous that Steam won't let you play your games you payed for outside of steam

    Very easy to run your previously purchased steam games without Steam. Search "Steam emulator", follow the GitHub or Codeberg link, and problem solved...

    Won't help with games that use their own custom DRM though.

  • Roughly how big are these files, and are they stored locally on your machine or mounted over the network (using FUSE, GVFS, or a kernel-based one like NFS?)

    I've noticed a few linux file managers are quite cautious loading multimedia thumbnails for networked filesystems mounted with GVFS, not sure of a fix for that aside from looking for a command line utility to mount using FUSE instead

  • It's probably marketing for V2L specifically I think.

    It allows EVs to backfeed power through the charger cable into your home's circuit breaker via a safety switchover, (if specced during charger installation - I doubt that feature was used here though) and doesn't necessarily require the vehicle to be powered up. I.e. the car just behaves like a battery and a 2-4kW inverter for your home AFAIK.

    You could probably do the same thing manually with an ICE, maybe would want to run the engine at least though, as the built in starter batteries won't last too long and don't like deep cycling. A death cable would technically work, but you'd really want a switchover box in a proper installation to not kill line operators repairing a power fault, and to retain proper GFCI operation

    A lot of the more expensive EVs have this built in, although they don't really publicly mention it for some reason. Ford's F150 lightning is a really blatant example of this, it supposedly carries a much beefier inverter than average, but they've hidden the info behind a tiny link at the bottom of the webpage. It's not even shown in the specifications grid.

  • I run Plex too, and indeed library sharing is built right in and ridiculously easy to set up.

    I think OP is already doing things the best way possible in Jellyfin by mounting others' servers remotely over VPN

  • It requires hardware support, and isn't a feature you can implement or initiate within an android app.

    If you can reach the maintainer for that TV box's lineage ROM, they may be able to have a look at it

  • Microsoft has really messed up GitHub. Logs you out automatically if you haven't visited in a few days, constantly asks you to verify your 2FA, and the new feed makes it extremely difficult to track engagement on your own projects.

    The worst one for me is that they allow you to view your recovery keys any time - IMO this is a really bad practice, recovery keys should only be shown once after a user has set up 2FA

    Probably going to move to Codeberg since I'm seeing a lot of projects making the jump over there, but the real solution IMO is a federated version control system

  • That's halfway correct - I'll try and break it down a bit further into the various parts.

    Your subdomains are managed in using DNS - if you want to create or change a subdomain, that happens here. For each of your services, you'll create a type of DNS entry called an "A record", containing your service's full domain name, and the IP address of your reverse proxy (in this example, it is 10.0.0.1)

    The DNS records would look like the following:

    With these records created, typing any of these domains in a browser on your network will connect to your reverse proxy on port 80 (assuming we are not using HTTPS here). Your reverse proxy now needs to be set up to know how to respond to these requests coming in to the same port.

    In the reverse proxy config, we tell it where the services are running and what port they're running on:

    Now when you type the domain names in the browser, your browser looks in DNS for the "A record" we created, and using the IP in that record it will then connect to the reverse proxy 10.0.0.1 at port 80. The reverse proxy looks at the domain name, and then connects you on to that service.

    What we've done here is taken all 3 of those web-based services, and put them onto a the same port, 80, using the reverse proxy. As long as the reverse proxy sees a domain name it recognises from its config, it will know what service you want.

    One thing to note though, reverse proxies only work with web-based services

  • A reverse proxy takes all your web-based services, e.g.

    • plex on port 32400
    • octoprint on port 8000
    • transmission on port 8888

    and allows you to map these to domain names, so instead of typing server.example.com:32400 you can type plex.example.com. I have simplified this quite a bit though - you need DNS configured as well, and depending on your requirements you may want to purchase a domain name if you intend on accessing content from outside your home without a self hosted VPN.

    Cloudflare is a DDoS mitigation service, a caching web proxy, and a DNS nameserver. Most users here would probably be using it for Dynamic DNS. You can use it in combination with a reverse proxy as a means to mask your home IP address from people connecting to your self hosted web-based services remotely, but on its own it cannot be used as a reverse proxy (at least easily - would not recommend attempting to). Do note that Cloudflare can see all the data you transmit through their systems, something to bare in mind if you are privacy conscious.

    In my opinion though, it would be much better for you to use a self hosted VPN to access your self hosted services (can be used in combination with the reverse proxy), unless there is a specific need to expose the services out to the internet

    Edit: fix minor typo, add extra info about cloudflare

  • Love to see i'm not the only one who puts visual emphasis on the word "warm", just to encapculate the feeling 😁

  • Hands up if you/someone you know purchased a Steam Deck or other computer handheld, instead of upgrading their GPU 🙋‍♂️

    To be honest I stopped following PC hardware altogether because things were so stagnant outside of Intel's alder lake and the new x86 P/E cores. GPUs that would give me a noticeable performance uplift from my 1060 aren't really at appealing prices outside the US either IMO

  • They've got some pretty interesting stuff in the pipeline, like container tabs optionally being hooked up to their own independent Mozilla VPN connection.

    IMO I think they're going to go all in eventually offering a kind of "privacy ecosystem" similar to Proton

  • That machine looks slick af 👌 I find linux distros are so much nicer to use when the hardware itself feels great. Enjoy!

  • That’s when Lamego went on to start his own company, True Wearables, which Masimo claimed used its technology when developing the Oxxiom, a wireless and disposable pulse oximeter.

    Excuse me, a wireless and disposable pulse oximeter?

    I wouldn't be surprised if this Marcelo person is a millionaire with that kind of twisted thinking. Disposable vapes are bad enough - those devices literally contain rechargeable Lipo batteries, and now this individual starts his own company and one-ups that with disposable, wireless medical equipment?

    Just wow

  • I wonder if that's a bug of some sort. We seem to be using the same app and I'm not noticing that issue in the title. Definitely shows in the description preview though...
