Re-read my comment and to be clear, the quote and the last paragraph are not related. The last sentence was meant to refer to the Erizo project as a nice single purpose high performing tool, not as a comment to the bug that made it slow.

Thank you for introducing me to the concept/term Ascetic programming . Not sure how widely used it is, but I find it more fitting for what I try to do than minimalistic or KISS . Also, it is great to see someone write > I no

If anyone is wondering what the original Diablo II battle.net experience looks like in 2020 (yep, it's apparently still working, hows that for legacy support?), Carbot recently did an episode on it https://www.youtube.com&#x

I had not heard about slowloris, thanks for the tip. I am always on the lookout for ways to make life harder for scrappers and scanners. In this case though, to defeat scrapers maybe create some link which only the scraper sees and leave a

I like it. This is a well written argumentation on why not all webpages need to be Webapps. I'll save this for later. One little nitpick or question, the page isn't very readable on my mobile (iOS), it's too wide and tiny tex

I had the same thought, I even assumed there would be some international wartime law against it. But turns out it's apparently ok according to this study I found from US Naval College > Conventional IHL (international humanitarian l

Like many other here I looked at a lot of options and ended up writing my own, because spending time finding the right solution (if it existed) was more effort than just doing it myself. Inspired by https://github.com/giusep

If you have a macbook with touchId you can use that as webauthn/u2f already with softu2f, I've been doing this for some time and it's really smooth, much prefer it to OTP. Rough instructions here https://twitter.co

Second the recommendation for esphome, especially if you are trying to do something a little smarter than just a remotely controlled switch. I started with tasmota for my little wastewater pump controller but I found it hard to get my simpl

This had me really confused until I saw it was a global outage. I have been getting delayed iOS push notifications (from prowl) now for the last few hours, from a device I was fairly sure I had disconnected 3 hours ago (a pump) Got question

If you happen to have a old N64 lying around, or can find one to buy, there are also great options for getting it working with a new TV. The RAD2X being a easy way to get started https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/RAD2X-CAB

PSA, you can use Inkscape to edit text in (some) PDF's. Just note (as it says when you import it) to use the internal importer as otherwise you won't have editable text. Saved me a bunch of work already. https://twitter

Yes, I was unclear. I meant that I think it's coming back now. My feeling is (but it could be just colored memory) that for a long time people were happy with just changing the colors/borders/css of the standard components. N

Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it. Especially the later parts. Looking at your GH it looks like it lost some steam? Did you continue on it and if so did it produce anything "surprising"? As in, this should not really be a good coas
