Same setup as yours, runs really well.

I like the web UI as well, but since i use an iPhone i wasn’t really able to be able to set up the browser with the cert

One thing you can do (that I have in the corporate) is to setup a reverse proxy in front of the WebUI and have it manage user authentication. Essentially nginx authenticates users against the company Keycloak IdP that provides SSO and whatnot. You can do with a simple HTTP basic auth or some simpler solution like phpAuthRequest.

thanks again for the recommendation.

You're welcome, enjoy.

Most of the annoying stuff that Linux users hate about Windows are because Windows has to cater to even the least technologically knowledgeable users.

Isn't that the whole idea of GNOME? Always considering users as stupid and lowering the bar?

Yes, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have sqlite. Many people also run WP setups on small VPS and don't really want/need mysql running and wasting ram all the time. Having sqlite also opens the door to database git versioning and making local dev easier. While none of this will work at scale they'll still provide immense value for a lot of people.

Most WP websites are read-only and they could run just fine on sqlite. Even if you've a large number of reads, WP people are used to cache everything as static HTML files so it won't be that bad either. For what's worth sqlite is also getting faster/better at concurrency (WAL and whatnot) and it may even be "about 30% faster than mysql" in some cases.

SQLite Database Integration (make.wordpress.org)
submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

As a middle ground, we could implement a solution for the bottom tier: small to medium sites and blogs. These sites don’t necessarily need a full-fledged MySQL database.

SQLite seems to be the perfect fit:

  • It is the most widely used database worldwide
  • It is cross-platform and can run on any device
  • It is included by default on all PHP installations (unless explicitly disabled)
  • WordPress’s minimum requirements would be a simple PHP server, without the need for a separate database server.
  • SQLite support enables lower hosting costs, decreases energy consumption, and lowers performance costs on lower-end servers.

What would the benefits of SQLite be?

Officially supporting SQLite in WordPress could have many benefits. Some notable ones would include:

  • Increased performance on lower-end servers and environments.
  • Potential for WordPress growth in markets where we did not have access due to the system’s requirements.
  • Potential for growth in the hosting market using installation “scenarios”.
  • Reduced energy consumption – increased sustainability for the WordPress project.
  • Further WordPress’s mission to “democratize publishing” for everyone.
  • Easier to contribute to WordPress – download the files and run the built-in PHP server without any other setup required.
  • Easier to use automated tests suite.
  • Sites can be “portable” and self-contained.

Andrew complains, Microsoft makes a root mode so Andrew can have his way. Andrew breaks his computer the next second by deleting a system file and proceeds to call Microsoft support. :)

While I agree with you, an attacker may not need to go to such lengths in order to get the PK. The admin might misplace it or have a backup somewhere in plain text. People aren't also prone to look to logs and it might be too late when they actually noticed that the CA was compromised.

Managing an entire CA safely and deploying certificates > complex; Getting let's encrypt certificates using DNS challenges > easy;

All the bold text, italics, and headings would need to be saved in a database column to be retrieved later in their correct positions.

Nobody does that. People simply store HTML, Markdown or BB code. Check out TinyMCE, Milkdown, tui-editor, stackedit... all of them have a "see source" button and you'll see the text with the formatting code right there.

New GNOME dialog on the right:

Apple's dialog:

They say GNOME isn't a copy of macOS but with time it has been getting really close. I don't think this is a bad thing however they should just admit it and then put some real effort into cloning macOS instead of the crap they're making right now.

Here's the thing: Apple's design you'll find that they carefully included an extra margin between the "Don't Save" and "Cancel" buttons. This avoid accidental clicks on the wrong button so that people don't lose their work when they just want to click "Cancel".

So much for the GNOME, vision and their expert usability team :P

Hi,

Is there anyone using Amcrest IP4M-1041B with Home Assistant? I've a few questions about software and integration.

  1. From what I hear, this camera can be setup 100% offline, connected via cable to any computer and by using a built in WebUI the camera has, is this true?

  2. It offers pan, tilt or zoom. Does it work really good with HA? Can it be operated without any Amcrest software / internet connection?

  3. The features above allow you to set preset locations, can that be done on HA / WebUI / without the Amcrest app as well?

  4. Does it really operate all features offline and is it reliable? Eg. motion detection works as expected / doesn't miss events?

  5. What's your overall experience with the camera? Does it compare to let's say a TP-Link tapo?

Thank you.

Unfortunately I was proven to be right about Riley Testut. He's yet another greedy person barely batter than Apple. After bitching to Apple to remove GBA4iOS from the App Store he's now leveraging Delta to force people into his AltStore.

Delta has finally made its way to the App Store. Additionally, the Delta developer has also published their alternative marketplace, AltStore, in the EU today.

If you're in the EU you'll only be able to get Delta on the AltStore and that requires:

This is complete bullshit he could've just launched Delta on the App Store in Europe as well but he decided not to.

Thanks Riley Testut for being a dick to the people that actually forced Apple into allowing alternative app stores in the first place.

Here's my take:

The domain aftermarket has a big problem... it exists. This market shouldn't ever be allowed to exist in the first place. ICANN should've blocked this bullshit a long time ago and forced registrars to just let domains expire and free the space. Also add a few provisions about unused domain names and about selling them.

Hello,

So I have a Motorola SM56 USB Data Fax Modem (aka Apple USB Modem for some people) and according to information online this modem supports V.92, Caller ID, wake-on-ring and most importantly telephone answering (V.253).

At a place I happen to have an old telephone analog line that gets calls and unfortunately I can't get rid of. Any ideias / links / software on how can I use the modem + a low end box / ARM SBC to "digitize" the phone line into a generic SIP / VOIP that I can then connect to using MicroSIP on another computer?

Thank you.


Update on this:

I just tried the modem under Windows with a few programs such as Phone Dialer Pro and the built in dialer.exe and while the modem can detect incoming phone calls and place calls I can't pass the audio back to the operating system / phone software.

I did some research about the SM65 and it seems like it was designed to have an headset directly attached to it like on those PCI cards that also use it:

The built in COM port of the modems seems to be only usable to control the modem via AT commands and can't be used to pass audio form and to the system.

Hello,

My IoT/Home Automation needs are centered around custom built ESPHome devices and I currently have them all connected to a HA instance and things work fine.

Now, I like HA's interface and all the sugar candy, however I don't like the massive amounts of resources it requires and the fact that the storage usage keeps growing and it is essentially a huge, albeit successful, docker clusterfuck.

Is there any alternative dashboard that just does this:

  1. Specifically made for ESPHome devices - no other devices required;
  2. Single daemon or something PHP/Python/Node that you can setup manually with a few systemd units;
  3. Connects to the ESPHome devices, logs the data and shows a dashboard with it;
  4. Runs offline, doesn't go into 24234 GitHub repositories all the time and whatnot.

Obviously that I'm expecting more manual configuration, I'm okay with having to edit a config file somewhere to add a device, change the dashboard layout etc. I also don't need the ESPHome part that builds and deploys configurations to devices as I can do that locally on my computer.

Thank you.

Hey,

For all of you that are running proper setups and use nftables to protect your servers be aware that pvxe/nftables-geoip now has the ability to generate IP lists by country.

This can be used to, for instance, drop all traffic from specific countries or the opposite, drop everything except for your own country.

https://github.com/pvxe/nftables-geoip/commit/c137151ebc05f4562c56e6802761e0a93ed107a2

Here's how you can block / track traffic from certain countries:

Previously you had to load the entire geoip DB containing multiple GB and would end up using a LOT of RAM. Those guides aren't yet updated to use the country specific files but it's just about changing the include line to whatever you've generated with pvxe/nftables-geoip.

Hey,

I found this game I used to play a very long time ago and I wanted to experience it again. Unfortunately I wasn't able to run it in Windows 10 / Windows XP SP3 VM because it would lag on modern hardware.

Here is what you need to do in order to get the game running:

  1. Search for "Midtown Madness 2 (Europe) (Rerelease)" on TPB and download it
  2. Load the disk with WinCDEmu or other solution
  3. Install the game (don't launch it)
  4. Enable DirectPlay on Windows
  5. Copy Crack\midtown2.exe to the gamefolder
  6. Download dgVoodoo2 from http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
  7. Copy dgVoodoo2.exe to the game folder
  8. Copy all files inside MS\x86 to the game folder as well
  9. Run dgVoodoo2.exe as admin and set the following:
  • Click the button .\ to create config file to MM directory
  • In "General" > "Output API" select "Direct3D 11 MS WARP (software)"
  • Go to "DirectX" tab and change the VRAM to 128MB
  • Click "Apply" > "OK" to exit.
  1. Launch the game > Options > Graphics > select from Display drop down menu, "dgVoodoo DirectX Wrapper" > "Hardware (3D video card with T&L) from the Renderer drop menu.
  2. Click "Done" and that's it!

Note that whenever you change the resolution it won't apply any changes to the game menu - you'll only see it once you start a race.

Midtown Madness 2 should now run very smoothly under Windows 10, even on Virtual Machines. Enjoy.
