This feels a little weird because while they are running the website itself (HTTP) off the Pi, they are handing off all TLS to a cloud provider. So while the content is in RAM on the Pi, a lot of the heavier lifting (TLS termination) is don

When zooming in and it switches to the lighter color tiles, the icons basically become invisible.

Client isolation is done at L2. You can't add exceptions for IP ranges / protocols / etc this way because that's up the stack. Even if devices can learn about each other in other ways, isolation gets in the way of direct

Outside of security stuff, over the years I've found this really handy for troubleshooting as well. Being able to extract detailed process info, screenshots, and a bunch of other things from a memory dump have allowed me to get a bette

I suspect they are meaning because it's uniform you can easily find the studs through it and fasten things directly into them. An uneven wall material (plaster on lathe, or even plaster on drywall as we have in most of our house) can b

Small world! You're welcome. Yeah, give borg a look. It's just faster to back up, faster to delete old backups, and just easier to do restores because so long as you have the appropriate credentials you can list the archive from a

Hard links are file level dedupe. And then once all references to the inode are removed (by rotating out backups) it's freed. So there's no maintenance of the deduping needed, it's all just part of how the filesystem and --li

Ha. That's a throwback. I did the same thing, but with a more detailed writeup, in 2009: https://nuxx.net/blog/2009/12/06/time-machine-for-freebsd/ It was really handy, but I now use borg as it

A weird flipside is things like... the IKEA Zigbee devices. Many of these do not work right at all with 1.5V batteries and basically require rechargables.

With the advent of new RGB (three column, like most LCD) OLEDs I wonder if Apple's next high-end display is going to use that. It'd be a whole bunch of things aligning for a good ecosystem. And I know this is a whole lot of person

by c0nsumer 9mo ago
Yeah, and I'm not terribly interested in getting into the details of how everything renders... I just want a display that works and doesn't make my eyes feel funny. The PA27JCV (which I don't expect to have back from warranty

The person who bought mine was a family friend who wanted a large display for her kid to do 3D printing stuff. Since he was just going to be running a slicer and some basic modeling stuff, it seemed perfect. I got a bit of cash, he got a co

I would send them, but I've already returned the OLED to Costco. Sorry. :\ On the upside, I should have a shiny new U3225QE IPS LCD later this week. (I just sidestepped the problem.) EDIT: I should add that the screenshot in my post of

Numbers.app, Autodesk Fusion, Adobe Illustrator, and Terminal.app were the first places I noticed it. And in Fusion and Illustrator it's not text that's the issue but lines/graphics. And high contrast edges in photos in Apple

...yet at 4K native on macOS (OS X) I could see fringing. And it was worse than using a slightly lower resolution, scaled up by the OS. And it's particularly bad on solid color lines and high contrast borders (not fonts). So... that do

Do tell, how does one avoid this problem on macOS when needing to use colored fonts and lines? (That is, flipping to greyscale isn't an option.)

I actually had a 5K iMac that I sold when I got the Mac mini. As I was deciding on the display I looked at doing that, but I wasn't super keen on the unfinished look. And IIRC it was going to cost about $250 in parts at the time. I was

(Author here.) This is akin to how I've (technically?) stepped back from a 5K 27" to a 4K 32". Likely due to scaling and how far I sit from the screen (about 24" -- average I think) things look the same? At least, I don&

That sounds familiar. I also have ever so slight green-brown color blindness. It's only really noticeable in low light (like in the woods in evenings), but that could well all stack up to be a problem. I also have significant problems

OP is me, and yeah, AFAIK they did. It's a problem with how this subpixel problem aligns with my use (mostly static content with high contrast edges) at the display scaling I'm using. It just doesn't work for me, so until I c

(Author here.) There's no Cleartype in use here, as the first paragraph says, it's macOS. And I'm using the default font sizes because they work well for me on an LCD. The point of this post is to document my experience with

by c0nsumer 9mo ago
(Author here.) The other issue is that it's not just a text problem. It affects any high color contrast edges, especially directly vertical or horizontal ones. So subpixel rendering tweaks for text rendering (eg: Cleartype) don't
