TLS termination is neither required nor enabled by default, right?

Has all to do with solar flare energy levels and how/where it interacts in the atmosphere. [1][2]

This is one of the core usecases of cloudflared (https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared)! Without having a static IP address or dynamic DNS, you can establish a connection between your machine in a private network with Cloudflare. And once a resource is on the Cloudflare network, you can pretty much do anything with it, including routing your visitors to that server and using the full Cloudflare stack including its CDN, firewalls, and Anti-Bot protections.

What does Gandi provide wrt DNS that is worth a premium? What do they offer that at-cost domain registrations & free DNS management from Cloudflare do not?

In regards to your last question, it’s “an LLM”.

The distinction between using “a” vs “an” is one based on the immediately proceeding syllable sound rather than the letter. If it’s proceeded by a vowel, then use “an”, and if it’s proceeded by a consonant, use “a”.

Because “LLM” is pronounced “el el em”, the first syllable sound is “eh”—a vowel.

The same letter may need different “a”/“an” article based on how the word is pronounced. For example “an LLM” vs “a layer”.

See this for someone smarter than me explain it: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/is-it-a-or-an

The parent comment referred to "keyframes" instead of just "frames". Keyframes—unlike normal frames—encode the full image. That is done in case the "delta" you mentioned could be dropped in a stream ending up with strange artifacts in the resulting video output. Keyframes are where the codec gets to press "reset".

Along with the other commenters, I'd be interested to know what you used. When I built my home, I took hundreds of photos of all wall and ceiling surfaces. I then later annotated those photo file names to the right places on the blueprint/schematics. Now I look up the photo file name from the schematic and pull up the right photo.

I would love to be able to just "walk through" and look around in 3D my house before the insulation & drywall went up. I wouldn't want to pay for those 3D house tours that realtors are using now if I built another house and wanted to do something similar.

If you primarily listen to classical music, Apple's new Classical Music app (part of its Music subscription) is *fantastic*.

I use three-finger drag on Mac (with a magic trackpad) and find that better than any combination of click & drag. Have you tried it?

Not publicly that I have seen, but I can assure you networking and cybersecurity companies (and others) saw this pretty quickly when the bug was first released. I was just glad to see a relatively big company calling out this rather egregious issue.

I'm glad Mullvad is raising the public temperature on this! This one has definitely been noticed and been very concerning.

It's weird how much I've come to like this font. And like @tentacleuno, I use it pretty much anywhere and everywhere I can get away using it.

This might come off as quirky or weird but one of the things I miss the most about "iCal" (Calendar.app in macOS) is the infinite scroll (year, month, and week views). Fastmail's calendar has the infinite scroll on the month view, but not any other views.

I usually hate "infinite scroll" on say a timeline feed, but for calendar, it is exactly what I need as I very often move between months when I'm looking at my calendar.

Is there an extension in Firefox that'll bring the infinite scroll to calendar? Anything on the roadmap officially for that UX?

My absolute favorite is KNOW -- the news channel of the Minnesota Public Radio network. I think it's just about as perfect as you can get for a news channel.

Yes! Also consider letting people learn without authenticating at all. Those who care to save state/progress can log in. If you had an opportunistic "great job on completing level 10! if you want to save your progress, register here" message, I bet more people would register as well!

I forgot to mention in my original story, but I did have priority pickup for all three requests!

My airport doesn't have a taxi line. Also, traditional airport taxis in my area (which you have to call and wait for a dispatcher to dispatch a taxi anyways) are about 2-3x the cost of an uber/lyft ride.

I've been a supporter of Lyft as the underdog and tried my best to give them as much business as I could. I was trying to get a ride at an airport, and I got so frustrated that I gave up and had a very good experience with Uber.

What happened was this: I requested a ride, and it was confirmed by the driver who was about 15 minutes away. After waiting 10 minutes, the driver would cancel (and presumably go pick up someone else who had a higher fare). This happened literally 3 times, and I sat outside at the curb waiting for 30+ minutes. I gave up, requested a ride with Uber instead which had a similar price (<$2 delta, I think). The Uber driver not only not cancel on me but also was significantly closer causing me to wait less from the moment I requested a ride.

> Did you try flys postgres service?

Yes. I wrote: "I was recently just one of those affected by a random issue!"

I don't notice any measurable latency. Heroku exposes their postgres instances directly on the public web (secured with a strong user/pass combo of course), so there's no difference, networking-wise. There's no additional reverse proxy or some tunnel to route through.

Heroku was the cheapest for the very small instance I needed.

The connections are made on-demand and are insanely fast.

I was recently just one of those affected by a random issue! I was made aware in the forums that maybe my VM had run out of space. That would've helped if an error message immediately alerted to my exhausted disk space. I realized that what I actually wanted was a managed provider and moved (back) to Heroku just for postgres. I recently moved out of there for my backend hosting & postgres to fly.io. My backend hosting stays on fly.io but will be putting my postgres in a managed platform.

I also moved my postgres/django backend to fly.io using their automated tool which worked flawlessly, and my frontend (sveltekit) went to vercel.

Both services have been flawless so far at a much better cost/value proposition.

Does anyone have good resources to learning rust? I have a fairly good working knowledge of C, C++, and Swift.

I understand there's the Rust Book, Rustlings, and Rust By Example at https://www.rust-lang.org/learn. Are there other good resources? Does anyone have a strong suggestion on which of those official resources I should start with?

Thanks for your quick response! I was able to work around the broken Turboku form and also get my database migrated to fly.io with a bit of adjustment period with flyctl. Just closed out my last invoice with Heroku and closed my account!

Hey, thanks for your warm outreach and help! I'm trying to use the https://fly.io/launch/heroku page to migrate my heroku application. I am already a paying customer for heroku, but I want to switch based on their direction.

I have authorized heroku access for fly.io page and yet no projects or applications appear in the last dropdown. Is there currently a known issue with this?

I absolutely love this, and this the first mechanical keyboard I actually want to get.

One option I hope you will provide--that I hope is easy enough that you would actually consider--is to provide a key cap set that is completely blank, or is very minimal. I don't need anything printed on my keyboard, and I would prefer to not see such a gorgeous keyboard with all that white printed on it, especially the number caps.

I recently (<1mo) moved my educational nonprofit out of GoDaddy (email, web servers, domain registration) to CloudFlare (domain), SiteGround (hosting), and Google Workspace (free for nonprofits) and man, it feels great! Just being able to assign multiple administrator users with separate logins and all enforced 2FA is worth it alone. With GoDaddy, we had to have 1 shared account and it was always challenging to coordinate logging in because only 1 person could have 2FA on their phone.

On iOS, there's a browser called "Insight" which can do this automatically by injecting styles. I've began using an app for night-time use so I can take advantage of dark mode.

Are all the dollar amounts in the simulated tax output at the top of the page inflation adjusted?

For example, I inputted married, with no dependents with $500,000 salary and in 1977, the federal amount was $299,864 and in 2020 was $133,947. I assume these amounts can be compared without further adjusting for inflation?

Tangentially, did federal taxes really come down that much?
