I get a redirect loop when I click any of those buttons but they do seem to do something.
-
Owch, my eyes! Is that "karma glow" on the topic pages? A new feature? It looks awful. Is there a way to turn it off?

(Quote) This is terrifying.

(Quote) Thanks, PM'd.

Can't reach VPS after IP change and reboot (I had gotten an email saying there would be a node migration and new IP address). Did all the stuff with "reconfigure network", can't reach by VNC, little popup in the corner of the cl…

Wow. Ok I haven't read the whole thread, but my take on the first page or so: 1) I can live with ads if they are needed to keep the site alive. Or I can donate a few bucks but not a lot. $7/year would be a good LES-inspired amount for a sta…

(Quote) Gotta say asmbb would be even more impressive if it handle its own message store instead of using sqlite ;).

old.reddit.com and Red Reader don't have infinite scroll. They are way better than www.reddit.com or the reddit app. I wonder if fossil-scm.org could be adapted into a forum. It's intended as a software source control system but it also…

From a user perspective I have pretty high regard for Xenforo. I just expect the hammer to eventually fall like it does for all other non-FOSS software. So I'd hesitate before choosing it from the sysop side even if I were willing to pay for …

Which is the EU company? Do you mean the data center?
-
The specific concern was that a US company would be obliged to honor requests from the US government to turn over people's email. I don't know how much it helps, but I don't think Canada is in the EU.
-
By the way I asked about the company location because some potential users are avoiding US companies for privacy reasons.
-
IDK the current situation with BuyVM but it was originally Canadian and the "client area" link from the home page still goes to my.frantech.ca.
-
@NameCrane is the company Canadian like BuyVM, or is it headquartered in the US, or where? Thanks.
-
Yeah I'm still tracking batteries and other stuff, though not super carefully. Current obsession is off-grid solar power (not using it, just following developments) so I have a link collection for that too. Yes lol about ram prices. The low …

This is really cool, getting back to the spirit of the low end ;).
-
Seems to just be for cloudfront and not for serving stuff from an EC2 VM.
-
It's always good to have another alternative but we really need something completely FOSS.
-
I've thought that the web stack was a fairly straightforward part of this, and there were more headaches about the container and VM provisioning, monitoring, configuration UI, yada yada. Also there's still something like subscriptions in …

The renewal fee is always the most interesting.

It's not yet in hetzner's available images. I just launched a new vm with debian 12 and then use apt upgrade to move it to 13. That seems to have worked ok though it prompted me for how to handle a couple of config file changes. Particu…

Edited: aha, the GPU per the post is an NVidia P4. I got mixed up because the order form says P40 8GB which I think was an error. Still quite an amazing deal, considering the cost of electricity all by itself. Can you say the make/model or other …

(Quote) I thought we were sophisiticated users who knew better than to believe "lifetime" offers. Treating "lifetime" as 5 years (60 months), that is 0.5 euro per 100GB or 5 euro per GB, pretty terrible for plain storage, might…
-
Could someone plainly say how much this costs per TB? Thanks.
-
I think my KS account may have stopped working even though I still have a BHS server. Hmm.
-
It sounds like the github repo will stay open to community contributions so it's likely that there will at least be security fixes as needed. One of the things I like about this software is its relative simplicity, so it's fine with me if…

Has anyone ever heard of a web impersonation attack with significant consequences, based on a compromised TLS certificate?
-
It's ok, they should design the pi to use a laptop module if the cost difference is that great. Especially for the pi 400 successors where they re-do the board layout and have potentially board more space anyway. It makes these high memory pi…
-
Wait what, laptop memory is now consistently well under $2 per GB retail? I've been away too long. Ok, the $5/GB that RPi is charging is way too high. https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-32gb-260-pin-ddr4-so-dimm-ddr4-3200/p/N82E16820374024

Firebat with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd seems to be $300 at newegg: https://www.newegg.com/p/2SW-00AD-00001 No longer on amazon. Not gonna mess with aliexpress for something like this. The 2gb rpi 5 is $50 which might or might not be a little bit on …
-
Wow, good work by Hetzner, and what a hassle it must be on their end. Hetzner_OL hasn't posted here since December 2022. I hope Katie and Lea are still keeping busy doing interesting things. I haven't looked at the other site in quite …
-
I didn't realize you could do virtualization on a pi. Cool. The annoying thing about the 5 to me is that they didn't put an nvme socket into the 500. There are traces on the PCB for it but no slot. People have even managed to modify t…

Pandoc doesn't have that AI stuff but handles way more text formats.
-
$21.10/m pretty good. Hmm, maybe, I'll respond tomorrow if this is still available then. Too much going on right now here (US thanksgiving, people making noise).
-
Don't like discourse. The others are kind of ok, I think. Xenforo is what the big forums are mostly using, I think. I like Vanilla for small boards but the moderation tools are sort of flaky. I miss Usenet. Lemmy more or less sucks, but i…

(Quote) I'd like for it to be scalable, and easy to search (all the bikes by a given owner's phone, email or name). Really, you need numbers: scaleable to 1000 bikes? 10,000? 1 million? 1 billion? Google SRE used to say figure out your…

The 1 euro/TB bandwidth charge is killer, if it includes internal bandwidth as S3 providers like to do.
-
If the part about the bike owner viewing the page is optional, i.e. if it's ok for you to be the only user, then why have it online at all? Just have it on your local computer. If the bike owner has to view but doesn't have to be able to…

That's silly, sites should work without referer and most do. At worst they should display an error complaining about referer being missing, if they rely on it somehow. From RFC 1945, page 44: (Quote) Turning it off is entirely legitimate and…
-
I don't see a way to recategorize it.
-
It wouldn't have occurred to me that a 404 error was a browser problem. Also, if I had a second browser on my laptop, it also would have had referer turned off. It only wasn't turned off on mobile firefox because there is no way to turn …
-
I managed to log in by turning adblock off, tracking protection off, and referer headers on. Referer on was definitely required, not sure about the other two. It is a pain because it has to be configured browser-wide through about:config. I shoul…

I think the issue is some JS on the login page interacting badly with some recent desktop Firefox browser update. This is coming back to me a little now, I make more progress when I try to login with my phone. But it then prompts me for a 2FA cred…
