Mobility decisions are often dictated by visa-policies for people with weak passports (which is a big chunk of the world population). UAE, with all its flaws, is a lot more accessible than other countries may be

Hello! Are you reading this on a phone/tablet? I tweaked it around a bit to make it soft/comfortable to read but may have gone too far. Edit: Made it a bit darker, hopefully its easier to read now.

I was unopinionated about Apple's walled garden until the events of last week. Now I'm pro side-loading. If you've been on the fence, hope this changes your mind.

Can you please help me understand your stance? Why do you think a company should have a $0 profit?

I have a couple cars, some german. It absolutely does not cost $700 to change a dead battery any more that it costs $100 for a bottle of water. The cost of goods is cheap. You do need to tell the computer it is a new battery, since it adj

The skill required to cut through so many layers, going from php application down to linux kernel. Impressed and jealous!

Thank you for posting this! It's very helpful. Just want to add a caveat for the reader. While resolution is important, the display technology matters just as much if not more. Pimax Crystal Super, for example uses QLED tech, so its ba

Have you verified that this is a client side issue by using another client? (ie the one built into your phone). I’ve seen this happen to me, and a combination of plugging in a dummy HDMI dongle into the GPU, toggling on/off nvidia nvfb

Do you have any examples of the latter? From what I remember reading, the most recent case was a gambling website and cloudflare wanted them to upgrade to a tier where they’d have their own IPs. This makes sense because some countries blank

License aside, there’s currently no way to get graphics acceleration on the APU running the device. So no, you cannot run macOS on it even if you wanted to

What is QC referring to here? I’d appreciate a quick liner, thanks!

While I admire your optimism, this is not realistic. The earth is big and not all parts get the same amount or intensity of sunlight. Nordic countries cannot rely on Solar with batteries, for example.

I used this when I was in Tallinn. Place I was in didnt have gigabit fiber (probably the only place on the whole street). It worked well for me. I was using copper internet from local ISP paired with cellular and starlink. Starlink went out

You don't have to get cast-iron necessarily. Try carbon-steel. My mother doesn't like cast iron because of the maintenance required, and we don't use non-stick for the alleged health issues. Got a bunch of carbon-steel cookwa

Looks great, thank you for sharing. I've been looking for something similar (OLED, for work/gaming) so looked into the one you're using. > Doesn't support variable refresh rates or HDMI 2.1. Unfortunately that makes i

This and the other solutions in this thread wont work with plex or the media servers. The way it works with the media servers is that there’s a variable number of outputs , and you just cant emulate that on the client side without a virtua

FWIW, you can run an smb server from within a docker container (on the linux side). I forget which one I used but it makes the setup painless and you can configure different auth strategies as well. Network errors (little bit of packet loss

This was not meant to offend. I appreciate you explaining your message further. There's no significant IP in this utility, it's something I wrote for a usecase and it works well for that usecase. I ran the server side on a windows

For sure! One of the software I was working with was hardcoding what codecs it would use based on the operating system it was running on. The rewrites section of the configuration allows more than just file paths, I've used it to rewri

Thanks! I developed this primarily for plex & jellyfin after struggling with Tdarr myself. For people running plex/jellyfin in containers, it's as simple as mounting the client binary at the ffmpeg path (using docker -v) and a
