  • Government removes ban on onshore wind development in England

    Jump

  • Yeh, hopefully the new government enables building for humans and the environment.As opposed to the "fuck the environment, build for companies" that we have had for a while.

    One of the biggest improvements will be better contract allocation. Like not giving a ferry contract to a company that doesn't have, hasn't run and does not plan to run any ferries. Or whatever the fuck HS2 was supposed to be other than a government funded land grab. And COVID was a turbulent time for everything, but the fucker of contracts and waste should never be repeated.

  • Unofficial Reddit API

    Jump

  • If I could access Reddit ad free via my own 3rd party app with no restrictions based on some monthly or yearly fee, I probably would pay that.Reddit has issues which the fediverse solves. The fediverse has issues that Reddit solves.Now that I am here tho, I wouldn't go back

  • I think the headcanon is that the shortest distance is impressive.Either a different faster and harder route through "the kessel". Or that 12 parsecs is the absolute minimum distance it can be done in, perfectly apexing every corner.

  • HTTPS on homelab (just locally)

    Jump

  • Nginx Proxy Manager is probably perfect for you.Pick a domain (like mylab.home or something), set up your home network to resolve that domains IP as your docker hosts IP.NPM will do self-signed certs. So, you will get a "warning, Https is insecure" kinda page when you visit it. You could import NPMs root cert into your OS/browser so it trusts it (or set up an "don't warn for this domain" or something).

    If you don't want per-client config to trust it, then you need to buy a domain, use a DNS that supports letsencrypt DNS-challenge, and grab certs that way (means you don't need a publicly accessible well-known route exposed)

  • How to host a userbase

    Jump

  • Supabase is a dockerised postgres with user auth, rest API and some other goodies. It's maybe too complicated as a starter.Appwrite might also work for ya. Much easier to get into, but also less feature complete.Pocketbase might also work. Haven't used it tho

  • Mcafee accidentally made users call the devs of SQLite and complain.

    Jump

  • Sqlite is a great embedded database.If you are storing lots and lots of information in a JSON file, CSV file, or coming up with your own serialisation... Chances are, sqlite is going to do it better.I know loads of android apps use sqlite for storage. I've also managed to open quite a few programmes "proprietary" file format in sqlite.

  • Annoying marketing practices

    Jump

  • If you find the 10-100 viewer streamers playing fun and community games it can be nice and chill.Feels like old school cs1.6 community servers where you hang out with regulars and have fun.The community gaming is probably what makes it, tho

    A New Reality Show Will Pay Cash if Players Can Convince Experts the Earth Is Flat

    Jump

  • Didn't the kinda do that in Behind The Curve?They used a long body of water as a flat reference, set up 3 columns with a hole through them at the same height above the water reference.A torch shone through 1 end should be visible at the other end if all of the holes are on the same plane.Because of the curvature, they had to lift the last column to be able to see the light.They didn't manage to explain that one

  • Microsoft has gone too far: including a Game Pass ad in the Settings app ushers in a whole new age of ridiculous over-advertising

    Jump

  • I don't. But the person I replied to said they were having trouble with Linux on a surface.So, that's a project dedicated to Linux on surfaces. I would presume they had tried the usual distros and found them lacking

  • ‘The Movement to Convince Biden to Not Run Is Real’

    Jump

  • I always figured the role of president was more of a figure head.I get the buck stops with them, they can do their veto and special powers thing, and I'm sure there are other "ultimately this is your decision" type things.But it's the administration you are voting on.

    I'm sure it feels amazing to have "that one guy" steering your country. But, I'm sure they mostly do what their advisors tell them to

  • I remember during COVID, trying to reduce my bills. Called my mobile operator. For £200 fee I could buy out early, and pay £15 per month. Or I could continue paying something ridiculous like £60 per month.Absolute no-brainer, and I would never get a contract phone again.

  • Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims

    Jump

  • The cheap Chinese stuff often uses knock-off ICs tho.They can be fairly difficult to detect, and will work for a short time or under very light loads. But they will be nowhere near the spec of the data sheets.They might massively overheat, not provide the correct currents or voltages, run at lower speeds. All sorts of corners being cut to turn a $2 IC into a 50¢ IC. Or a 50¢ ic into a 5¢ one

    So yeh, might be the same PCB layout inside, it might visually look the same (or very very close) but the parts are likely to be counterfeit.

    Of course, it's also probable that name brands might be hit with counterfeit parts inside as well. Hopefully their QA picks that up

  • Larger sites cater towards scriptless web for accessibility requirements.Smaller sites don't need SPA, so will most likely work to some degree.The better (not necessarily bigger) blog systems will use scripting for fancy things, but will have fallbacks and will still work.

    It's the middle tier web-app (and sites that want to be a web app but have no reason to be) that will run SPA without any fallback. You know, the ones that want to send notifications and know your location and all that fun stuff.

  • I put my number in a secure form for a trusted bank and immediately got spammed

    Jump

  • Are you 100% sure it was a form from a bank?Everything stinks of a scammers phishing form, leading to scammer calls.

    I expect the only time a bank is going to want your phone number is when you initially sign up with them. After that, they should know who you are and your contact details.

    I almost got caught out by a "sorry we missed you" delivery message, until it was asking for my date of birth.Some of these random emails and SMS can catch you off-guard and seem legit
