Which smart TVs natively support port knocking?

by throwitaway1123 2y ago
WireGuard has apps for most devices (macOS, iOS, Android, Windows). For smart TVs it's a bit of a mixed bag. Some of them do support VPN clients, and I know Tailscale works on the Apple TV now (Tailscale uses WireGuard under the hood).

WireGuard is honestly very easy to set up. All of the commands feel very straightforward: https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2020/11/wireguard-point-t... You can definitely run an HTTP server behind WireGuard

I actually use TS as a way to avoid bothering with TDD. Many of the proponents of TDD are using dynamically typed languages, and need tests to verify every tiny little assertion about their code. I remember Eric Elliot had a bunch of posts

I'm also frequently surprised at how long certain CSS features take to implement. Some recent examples for me are the `has:()` pseudo selector [1], the scripting media queries [2], and css nesting [3]. [1] https://caniuse.co

I would almost certainly never implement a UI as a render loop, but if you wanted to go down that path requestAnimationFrame is a much more idiomatic way to do it if you want to match the user's display refresh rate.

It's a shame that Reason fragmented into Reason and ReScript. I remember there being a ton of excitement around the project when Jordan Walke (creator of React) announced that he was working on a JS successor.

This looks pretty cool. One issue I have from just a cursory glance is that the IO capability includes things like `print` and `echo` [1]. If the context system can't differentiate between `console.log` and `fetch`, then it's a li

Yeah expression based languages are a pleasure to work with. A lot of what was good about CoffeeScript was absorbed into ES6, but the expression oriented nature of it was never fully replicated in JS/TS.

The FrankenPHP binary also needs a daemon to manage it, which is why the docs recommend using Docker. So you end up with Docker (or SystemD or whatever you prefer), managing Caddy, which is in turn managing PHP. This is because the server w
