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.

help now actually opens the help utility on Python 3.13!

Perhaps there was an easier lighter-weight way of doing this?

Yeah, SSH tunneling. What I would do (and have done in the past) is something like:

ssh -L 8080:192.168.0.1:80 myserver

That will forward port 8080 on your host to port 80 on 192.168.0.1, so you can access your router’s web UI with http://localhost:8080/ in your own web browser.

You can also setup full tunneling with SSH, but that requires messing around with SOCKS and I usually can’t be bothered.

You can always install activate-linux, and it even works on Windows.

Ahh sorry, I thought you meant you plugged it into the input side. If that’s the case then are you running anything that measures CPU usage? I run the TIG stack, it might be able to give you some hits. Also back to my original point which is already unlikely, if it’s a modified sinewave UPS, it can confuse some measuring devices while it’s on battery.

It’s weird to do this daily, but it’s possible that the UPS is doing a self test, which would drain the battery a little and the load is from charging it back up.

The symbol they defined out is not the equals symbol but rather U+2550, so the for loop is fine.

Before other people start commenting ‘yeah obviously’, it’s their April Fools video, it’s pretty funny.

I never mentioned vulnerabilities, I just wanted to point out that, RDP doesn’t really work without a graphical session, Windows Server Core gets around this by being a graphical session (although very basic).

Also I’m not sure, but I don’t think Windows handles RDP on the kernel level, it’s just nicely tied in with DWM and doesn’t have to deal with the multitude of window managers on Linux.

Handling RDP on the kernel level does sound like a bad idea security wise, but there should be a better way.

Windows Server Core still has a window manager, just all it does show a command prompt very similar to the one in the usual Windows recovery environment.

You have to be on the March update, then go to Developer options -> Linux environment, and enable it. Then ‘Terminal’ will appear in your apps drawer.

ghost is just GitHub’s way of saying deleted user.

Not to defend them, but he did follow up with this:

This is referring to the technology we just released into BETA for premium subscribers, which delivers one of the lowest latencies for livestreaming (significantly better than YouTube’s latency).

This does not refer to encoding

Although quality != latency, so idk.

TCP and UDP can listen on the same port, DNS is a great example of such. You’d generally need it to be part of the same process as ports are generally bound to the same process

They don’t even need to be the same process. I’m pretty sure that’s just a common practice if something needs both protocols, but there’s nothing stopping you from having a web server on TCP 443 and a VPN server on UDP 443. Ports are an abstraction brought by each protocol, they aren’t in anyway related.

Also if you tap on the ‘kebab’ menu and press View Source, you can copy the message.

There’s The Serial Port, It’s not really ‘home networks’, but he finds and sets up very early (~80-90s) ISP gear and explains how it works and the history of it. Similar to how Ben Eater uses an ‘old’ 6502 to explain stuff.

I’ve seen some that activate an insane number of breakpoints, so that the page freezes when the dev tools open. Although Firefox let’s you disable breaking on breakpoints all together, so it only really stops those that don’t know what they’re doing.

I have no idea how CoW interacts with NTFS

With btrfs you can disable COW for specific files, that might give you a little performance boost.

Satellite imagery seems cheaper than you might think though. I’ve had SkyFi in my favourites for a while after they sponsored a YouTube video, and they seem to start at $8 per km² for a new photo or $2.50 for a previously taken one.

Cloudflare tunnels uses a QUIC connection between the cloudflared on the server and Cloudflare itself, which is encrypted similarly to HTTPS.

Whatever protocol cloudflared uses to talk to your webserver locally is configurable through the Cloudflare access web UI (just change http to https). I’ve actually got it configured to use unix sockets, which lets me treat it differently in my nginx config.
