We started using SoftEther recently to connect a couple of warehouses over fiber to our existing subnet without having to redo any of our network architecture. I’ve always felt it was the new Hamachi. Tailscale to me feels like the new Dire

I agree. That's why I listed the 3 different subs with different moderation criteria. I would much prefer to hear from someone like Dr. Cole than a random anonymous tweet: https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comm

It uses OpenSubtitles.org I believe. Swipe down when the video is playing to access the audio/subtitle menu. Then in the subtitle menu there is a download option.

In early 2000s, I used to make Windows applications with embedded IE browser and used system colors for CSS to make the whole UI look native. I believe it still works [0] but I don't think I've seen it in a long time on any site.

I think the 'overnight' part is key here. I can easily get approval for 20k-100k in necessary software but the approval process can take 1-3 months. If a free service suddenly goes paid without notice, it is much more disruptive t

I agree with you completely. I almost wrote the same thing about bias is human. I also don’t mind innate biases - those just define where the author comes from. Not sure why I was downvoted but we are on the same page.

If it’s mostly made out of silicon and metals, it is not much different from natural rocks, just at a lower level of entropy. If the energy source is renewable and the supply chain sustainable, it is not that bad. Like clay tea cups in Asia

I’m not too surprised by this. The function of every form, wizard, walk-thru, or guided app is to end up with a blob of data to post to the backend. While the blob could be relatively simple, e.g. iCal for recurring event, the UI can be ext

This looks fantastic! Since it runs as a self-hosted jar, is there any way to change the UI? Put it in a frame, style with CSS, call some JS for automation or report selection with parameters?
