Don't like discourse. The others are kind of ok, I think. Xenforo is what the big forums are mostly using, I think. I like Vanilla for small boards but the moderation tools are sort of flaky. I miss Usenet. Lemmy more or less sucks, but if I w…

(Quote) I'd like for it to be scalable, and easy to search (all the bikes by a given owner's phone, email or name). Really, you need numbers: scaleable to 1000 bikes? 10,000? 1 million? 1 billion? Google SRE used to say figure out your service's…

The 1 euro/TB bandwidth charge is killer, if it includes internal bandwidth as S3 providers like to do.
-
If the part about the bike owner viewing the page is optional, i.e. if it's ok for you to be the only user, then why have it online at all? Just have it on your local computer. If the bike owner has to view but doesn't have to be able to edit the …

That's silly, sites should work without referer and most do. At worst they should display an error complaining about referer being missing, if they rely on it somehow. From RFC 1945, page 44: (Quote) Turning it off is entirely legitimate and I di…

I don't see a way to recategorize it.

It wouldn't have occurred to me that a 404 error was a browser problem. Also, if I had a second browser on my laptop, it also would have had referer turned off. It only wasn't turned off on mobile firefox because there is no way to turn it off.
-
I managed to log in by turning adblock off, tracking protection off, and referer headers on. Referer on was definitely required, not sure about the other two. It is a pain because it has to be configured browser-wide through about:config. I shoul…

I think the issue is some JS on the login page interacting badly with some recent desktop Firefox browser update. This is coming back to me a little now, I make more progress when I try to login with my phone. But it then prompts me for a 2FA cred…
-
Nope, accepts email and password, and goes to a 404 page, similar to client area. I don't think I had tried that before though, so thanks.

(Quote) The Pico is not anything like a full sized pi. It's more like an Arduino Nano with a much more powerful processor. There is 4MB of QSPI flash on the board, and no SD card. Plus there is 520K of RAM on the cpu chip. That's the new Pico 2.…

i will probbaly get some (I've been using the rp2040 version) but from my perspective the upgrades mostly aren't that important. the rp2040 is already quite overpowered for a microcontroller. The new features are interesting and might be fun to pl…

At least in the US, GSM and 3G are both pretty near dead. It's LTE or 5G now. This "colo" notion sounds close to scamming-as-a-service if you're trying to do it at scale. For a one-off, it's easy enough to scrounge an old phone and plug…

Is it just me or is it currently impossible to add TOTP 2FA to a Virmach account? I get a broken image icon instead of a QR code, and entering the key manually doesn't work either. I opened a ticket yesterday, got six "AI assistant" robo…

Congrats Fran, I got the email announcing Namecrane a couple weeks ago, but didn't know the backstory. I'm looking forward to domain registration there!
-
I'd like to try these. Can anyone help me out with an invite?
-
Rack space can be pretty cheap, power expensive. What exactly do you want?
-
Don't forget the ESP32C3 which is on little IOT boards for under $5.
-
Colos and dedis and storage... OH MY!
-
I got that email too, but couldn't understand how it is supposed to work. Is @Hetzner_OL around much these days? There is also a discussion thread on Hacker News. Things I'd be interested to know: * If you cancel a dedicated server, can you have…
-
That's ok, i'm asking about the performance of the existing nodes, just to have an idea of what the new one might be like.
-
Do you have anything like this deployed right now? I'm wondering what kind of throughput people are getting.

Moto G Play is $100 new unlocked and comes with Android 12. I don't know of anything better in terms of hardware at that price. But, there is not official LineageOS support (yet), and Moto is not so good about software upgrades.
-
(Quote) No. The big move of websites to https and tls certificates is partly due to skids taking over public wifi hotspots and executing AitM (I guess that is what we used to call MITM) attacks on the client connections. SSH isn't much different. …

I've been using K9 and Fairmail is supposed to also be good. Both are on f-droid. I basically don't use anything that isn't on f-droid.
-
(Quote) Yeah I see now, it's on NYCB022. It's at 80ms ping from California which is pretty good for cross country. Anyway no need to move it. It's fine wherever.
-
It's possible I got some kind of notification about the IP change and missed or forgot about it. It seems to have happened a couple weeks ago. The server got switched to a different address. It's ok, I updated the DNS and everything works now. I…
-
Wait what, I have a virmach vps that I host a low traffic web site on and it stopped working, and it looks like its IP address is now assigned to alibaba cloud? Checking into it...

(Quote) It's the opposite though. Anything that says lifetime can disappear at any moment. I've bought a couple of 3 year storage plans here before and both collapsed partway through. I mostly use Hetzner now.
-
Shouldn't we know better than "lifetime" deals for something like this? Hetzner Storagebox is around 2€/TB/mo so this pCloud at the 2TB level is like 70 months (~ 6 years) and the 10TB level is almost 4 years. I'd expect something to go …

Lol it never stops. Hopefully everyone here stopped using those products years ago.
