How are you accessing it without Cloudflare? How do you know that Lemmy is actually listening?

What's the URL you using to access it without Cloudflare?

Edit: Also that curl tells me it's not listening on that IP/port.

Can you access it without Cloudflare?

Does curl http://localhost:8536/ work?

You are using cloudflared right? Because normal (non-cloudflared) Cloudflare doesn't support port 8536.

With dynamic DNS? Yeah it always has, as long as you can host a http server.

With a dynamic IP? It should do, the certs are only valid for 6 days for that reason.

I know this seems pretty much solved, but I just wanted to point out:

Frigate doesn't need a TPU, OpenVINO is quite performant even on decade old Haswells, or if you've got a GTX 750 or higher you might be able to use that as well.

Oh okay, I had assumed compiling would be a bit more I/O bound, while gaming would be a bit more CPU bound, but I guess you're right about the benchmarks!

If it helps, I wrote a KDE widget to switch between the modes: https://github.com/Steve-Tech/KDE-AMD-X3D-Selector

My understanding is amd_x3d_mode basically prioritises what cores the scheduler will assign tasks to. I usually keep it on cache since I do a lot of code compilation, but I will usually switch it to frequency for gaming and stuff.

No it's real! I can't verify the exact rating since it OL's my meter, but with some circuitry it can power my Pi for a few minutes. I got them from element14, so it's unlikely to be a fake product.

You can host a page with an iframe, but you can't directly change the DNS record to point to something that isn't GitHub.

Guys you're not gonna believe this:

The common sketchy performance advice is to disable mitigations in the kernel, this post is about disabling mitigations in Intel's userspace graphics stack because it's already checked in the kernel.

Assuming you meant disabling kernel mitigations, since AFAIK audio stuff doesn't usually use OpenCL:

Has anyone else here disabled it?

Nah, my understanding is it's not worth it on newer CPUs, and in some cases, the microcode expects things to be mitigated for best performance. Older CPUs (pre-2019ish) it does make a difference though.

But you're welcome to benchmark it, and see if it makes a worthwhile difference on your CPU. Kernel mitigations are easy enough to turn on and off.

I think they were trying to say that the cage in front with the AP behind, acts as a directional antenna. Similar to how Yagi antennas have metal elements that aren't connected in front of the actual antenna.

But I don't know enough antenna theory to know if that's correct.

 

I was basically thinking of a simple browser app for Android that automatically makes its requests over a Wireguard tunnel.

I don't publicly expose a lot of my self hosted services, most are only available over a Wireguard VPN. I don't think my family could work that out, and I also don't usually keep it enabled all the time on my phone.

It doesn't have to be a fully featured browser, I'm fine for it to be the built in Android WebView or something, and just have a configurable menu of pages that can be easily visited.

I have some Android app experience from Uni, so I could maybe help out somewhat, but I feel I'm going to be in way over my head to do this alone. I'm happy to donate a little anyway.

 

This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

[preferred]
default=kde;gtk;
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.

 
 

I'm not usually one to share links, but my old school's Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul's School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren't his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it's the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn't see it that way and sacked him.

I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone's names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I've heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn't deserve this.

Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and the Anglican Schools Commission are probably the best ways that you can help!

Thanks for Reading!
