How do you mean? You have to run a command to enable tailscale ssh, it isn't on by default.

You're using Cloudflare DNS, so archive.is refuses you. If you switch to a DNS server that forwards ECS it will work.

The post is from February 2020.

I can't see a date on the post (on mobile) but the archives link has month and year.

Re:Copy Fail – CVE-2026-31431 on Friday May 01, 2026 @08:43AM (#47974129)
6.19.6 is nearly 2 months old, you should probably check your mirrors! 7.0.3 is in Arch already.

Re:Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net on Tuesday April 07, 2026 @11:20AM (#47676763)
How did you determine that Bunny lacks IPv6?

The CDN certainly has it: https://bunny.net/blog/ipv6-returns-to-bunnycdn/

Depending on where I query from, OP's blog does have it as well:

    # host jola.dev
    jola.dev has address 37.19.207.38
    jola.dev has IPv6 address 2400:52e0:1a04::1310:1
Re:Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux on Wednesday January 28, 2026 @10:11AM (#46796344)
What do you mean by bad?

Is this an ideological question? They are still primarily closed source.

Is this an install difficulty question? If you can read you can install them.

Is this a performance question? If you're a normie they're good. If you're demanding the top fps at the top resolution in dx12 games then there is still a noticeable difference but it should be fixed this year.

Can you link them?

It's not valetudo is it?

Much less expensive (barring diy and print-a-case-yourself), and most importantly to certain people, easily available in the US from Amazon. (Jetkvm also suffers from unclear import costs and delays)
Mine's in the living room hooked up to a gaming PC, and I don't watch TV/movies.

Re:Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux on Wednesday December 10, 2025 @01:24PM (#46221401)
This trick unfortunately falls down above a certain size, especially if you want to game at a good fps, and stay in the consumer space (price) rather than the commercial display space. That gigabyte 45 inch is too small to use above your fireplace and view across the living room.

In my case I compromised on needing 4k, and got an lg 65 inch with only HDMI.

Re:CachyOS: Fast and Customizable Linux Distribution on Sunday November 30, 2025 @10:15AM (#46097263)
I can't vote, but calling real people "fucktards" was poor form.
Re:CachyOS: Fast and Customizable Linux Distribution on Sunday November 30, 2025 @09:00AM (#46096718)
Sure, but lts often doesn't work for other use cases like gaming. For example the experience on lts with this year's AMD gpus will be extremely poor if it works at all.

I run Arch and my 9070 xt experience was poor for several months after release. I can't imagine modern gaming on an lts release.

Cachy being Arch based and recompiling with modern cpu flags doesn't seem to be targeting the users who want unchanging boring software.

Re:Do Not Put Your Site Behind Cloudflare If You Don't Need To on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @10:59AM (#45967985)
You have other options besides leaking your home IP. You could use a VPN like Wireguard or a WG product like Tailscale, which is what I do. My Tailnet IPs are in public DNS, too, because it doesn't matter, they're not routable publicly. You could also get a cheap VPS in The Cloud and proxy requests to your home.
Tailscale doesn't support mDNS / multicast at all, making working with KDE Connect more nebulous. I attempted to add a static peer via the Tailscale hostname, but both ends report not reachable, and the Tailscale daemon is constantly dropping multicast packets. So I'm not sure how this helps, but I also don't have a use case - if I'm on my laptop, my phone is on the same Wifi network 99% of the time.
I didn't read the article because all the moving bits were too distracting. Something also turned my cursor invisible, which is rude.

Not sure anyone lost anything here, or anyone cares.

Re:Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 Incident on July 14, 2025 on Wednesday July 16, 2025 @03:10PM (#44585778)
Hm, what distinction are you trying to make here? OpenDNS is also an American company, acquired by Cisco (an American company) in 2015.

This is all true, but DNS was also down.

Re:No Nat November: My Month Without IPv4 on Wednesday December 04, 2024 @08:16AM (#42317121)
It's the argument to --resolve, not the desired URL.

    --resolve <[+]host:port:addr[,addr]...>
              Provide a custom address for a specific host and port pair. Using this, you can make the curl requests(s)
              use a specified address and prevent the otherwise normally resolved address to be  used.  Consider  it  a
              sort  of  /etc/hosts  alternative provided on the command line.
You're logged in, they are not.

If you click through to the app it requires an email and zip code to "register" and view the map. But it doesn't require actually receiving an email.
Re:HTTP: , FTP:, and Dict:? on Sunday September 22, 2024 @07:59AM (#41616449)
The point of the article wasn't how to define a word, it was answering why old code mentioned the dict protocol in the same regex as http and ftp.

I for one had never heard of the dict:// protocol, so I was curious about it.

Re:Valkey 8.0.0 Is Out on Wednesday September 18, 2024 @03:57PM (#41584722)
If you upgraded to 7.4, then redis switched to a proprietary dump format, and if you want to use those dumps you'll have to use a third-party tool to dump the data and put it back in valkey.

It's probably the HN character limit cutting off the title.

But it also works as a joke (short for suspicious or suspect) and a reference to memes from the game Among Us.
