  • Docker Desktop: Can someone help me troubleshoot Wallabag?

    Jump

  • Reading https://github.com/wallabag/docker I don't see any mention of doc75/wallabag as an official image. Any reason you went with a 3rd party image?

    Also, might be that you aren't exposing the port? Wallabag looks like it runs on port 80. Might be that port 80 is restricted (or in use), so docker desktop can't bind it. Maybe forward a random port to it.

    You can also inspect the container. It will show env vars, networking binds, volume binds etc.Make sure they align with what's in the official docker-compose. Once you get that working, you can start tweaking towards your requirement.

  • I use it for scripts or for esoteric error messages or problems I'm having in my dev environment.I can't be bothered to understand a specific error message that I've never seen before because of an update or whatever.So getting it to explain errors to me is handy.I always review the LLMs process and the resulting changes it suggests (including searching what it's done if I don't get it).It's essentially a context-aware search engine.

    Actual coding and problem solving? I enjoy that.

  • "snorkel lenses" look ridiculous on large projectors.https://epson.com/Accessories/Projector-Accessories/ELPLX02-Ultra-Short-throw-Lens/p/V12H004X02

    Goes in the front like a normal lens, shoots backwards like a cursed lens.

    The problem with short-throw lenses is that they will exacerbate any geometry issues. So aligning them is hard. And ANY tiny little non-planer issue with the screen surface gets massively multiplied.You can get away with a lot of issues using long lenses. Short lenses are a pain.

    ETA:Linked is a 0.35 ratio lense.So for every 0.35m from the screen, it will project a 1m wide screen.0.7m away? 2m screen. 1.25m away? 5m wide screen.3.5m away? 10m wide screen.

  • SpaceX Blocks Russia’s Starlink Access but Ubiquiti’s Tech Remains Ubiquitous

    Jump

  • So Russia is using point-to-point radio.

    Musk runs a service that gives internet everywhere and has the ability to pinpoint the ground access point precisely, as well as requiring a billing account to access.You can't use starlink without the service provider knowing.

    You can use cheap, 2nd hand, outdated, whatever network equipment to create your own local network without anyone knowing. It can be entirely airgapped and still work.

    Unifi/Ubiquiti point to point radio kit is extremely easy to get hold of an can be used entirely airgapped (because it's on the border of pro & consumer level kit).That's like saying "Russia is using ethernet cables" or "Russia found to be using intel NICs" or "Russia found to be using Mellanox SFP modules".That can't be restricted.

    The ability to tune in a point to point wireless network and maintain that ALL the way to the frontline takes skills. Any mid station can be targeted and isolate a bunch of frontline networks. Running multipath redundancy links is a significant challenge.

    The ability to drop something on the ground and have instant internet access anywhere (starlink) is not a skill. It's an enabler, and musk enabled.

  • The person in the middle would be supporting twice the weight of the person over the hole, and they would have to do it twice.The person over the hole and the person not over the hole just has to hang on.

    When the middle person is over the hole, the people at each end support half the weight of the person over the hole.

    The length of the pole doesn't matter, as long as the person in the middle is in the middle of the pole and that the pole is more than twice the length of the hole.If the pole was significantly long enough, then the force on the middle person could be reduced significantly, but it will always be more than the weight of 1 person.

  • What do y’all think about Cloudflare?

    Jump

  • Great, use cloudflare or any number of other ddos mitigation services. Or get a larger peering connection and eat the ddos.

    Edit:And to be clear, my context for the suggestion was this part in OPs question:

    I use it to provide me with a Cloudflare tunnel to get around not being able to forward ports.

  • What do y’all think about Cloudflare?

    Jump

  • It doesn't.Have you ever been ddos'd? I haven't.I imagine if it happens, I'll just switch off the VM.If it's actually a problem, then I'd see what the VM hosting company recommends. Ultimately they will have something in place so that if my VM gets targeted they can isolate it.My sites get denied service. Oh well.

    I've never had anything get so popular that I actually need the tooling that cloudflare offers. I've never had anything targeted in a way that cloudflare would protect against.

    If that is actually a vector in your security and reliability analysis, then yeh. It's probably the right tool for it.And there are other competitors than just cloudflare if you actually need the protection, which should each be considered.

  • And a VPS and any number of tunneling systems for the remote reverse proxy.Rathole is my goto. But SSH forwarding, wireguard... There's plenty, even ones that will entirely manage the reverse proxy on the VPS.

  • Discord is going to be the age-verification-service for gaming, if they can get laws to follow fast enough.They have the gaming community, they have chats/friends/DMs/VoIP.If they release a dev toolkit that implements in-game chat, in-game VoIP, friends list and age verification... All while not being tied to steam? Imagine if they offered a system for in-game purchases and gifting purchases to friends (oh yeh https://gam3s.gg/news/discord-adds-in-app-purchases-for-in-game-items/ )They are positioning themselves to offer a huge range of features, easy navigation of legal minefields, and no distribution-platform tie-in - while also offering out-of-game functionality of all of that (likely leading to player retention for games that leverage it properly).

    They are positioning themselves to be a market-leader/industry-standard for game social networks. Everyone that has ever used discord is the product they are selling, and they are now releasing the features and tools for companies to leverage that.

  • I'd be interested in seeing end-to-end details of the entire funding pipeline.But it's pretty obvious. America and Russia.

    (Older, but it's stupid to think anything has changed. Maybe reduced cause of Russia's fucked economy).https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/5050/russia-ukraine-war-putin-europe-far-right-funding-conservatives/

    No doubt none of these specific links have concrete evidence. I'm sure I searched for what I wanted, and found what I want. No doubt influenced by the echo chamber in which I live.

    Like I said, I'd love to see the evidence.But I have no doubts that America and Russia are interfering with European politics.It seems stupid to think otherwise, considering how vocal Musk has been about the subject.

  • Discord is about to require age verification for everyone

    Jump

  • I think this is the a major step in discords plan to be a service to games (ie business-to-business).They are positioning themselves to be an age-verifying platform for games, alongside in-game chat, in-game VoIP, in-game store and game community.

    At some point, games are going to have to require age verification. It's just the way the "protect the children" bullshit is going (instead of "enable the parents to raise their kids", which is far to socialist and progressive) Or game shops will. But if you don't sell your game, that bypasses game shops. And if cracks can bypass purchasing, then... It's on the game to comply with laws.If there is in-game chat: needs age verification.If there is in-game voip: needs age verification.

    At some point, discord is going to roll out this massive suite of dev tooling that "just works" for devs creating multiplayer games with voip, chat, in-game purchases, gifting in-game purchases to friends, friends lists, out-of-game chat, game communities etc. while also offering age verification.It already does a lot of that.They are getting ahead of the age verification laws so they offer a very simple path for developers to "just pay discord" to skip a HUGE legal minefield, and get a bunch of functionality for whatever cut discord decides .
