Very important! When mounting an NTFS filesystem that is also used by Windows, always specify the windows_names option, both in /etc/fstab and when using mount.ntfs.

Windows is not fully compliant with the NTFS specs, which is a bloody genius move on Microsoft's part. NTFS allows file names and paths to contain characters that are illegal in Windows, like the : character. If you create a file with such a name, it will make the volume unmountable. Ask me how I know. The windows_names option prevents that.

At work, we use PiSignage for a large overhead screen. It's based on Debian and uses a fullscreen Firefox running in the labwc compositor. The developer advertises a management server (cloud or self-hosted) to manage multiple connected devices, but it's completely optional (superfluous in my opinion) and the standalone web UI is perfectly usable.

I tried it recently. They changed the rootkit and it's a coin flip on Linux. Genshin is supposed to work, but I've never been able to launch the game.

You can absolutely use it without a reverse proxy. A proxy is just another fancy HTTP client that contacts the server on the original client's behalf and forwards the response back to it, usually wrapped in HTTPS. A man in the middle that you trust.

All you have to do is expose the desired port(s) to all addresses:

# ...
  - ports:
    - 8080:8080

...and obviously to set the URL environment variables to localhost or whatever address the server uses.

I don't know which feature you mean, can you link the documentation?

I used it for a while, and it's a decent solution. Similar to Tailscale's subnet router, but it always uses a relay and doesn't do all the UDP black magic. I think it uses TCP to create the tunnel, which might introduce some network latency compared to Tailscale or bare Wireguard.

Right... my mistake, I guess I had SSH config entries in Termux and never questioned whether SSH was using those or DNS.

Still, try to find some way to check which server is being queried. It might reveal connectivity problems with the local DNS server.

Isn't she the one that falls madly in love with the player if they foist a mammoth tusk upon her? I remember her being a bitch to Carlotta, which puts her on the same level as Nazeem.

Install Termux, then use either the dig or nslookup command to query the DNS name, and check which DNS server is queried. If it's the private server's address, you might be having connectivity issues. If it's 100.100.100.100, the resolver is still trying to query Tailscale's MagicDNS.

A while ago, I wanted to try Home Assistant. Then I realised that I didn't have a single thing to use it with. The locks are mechanical, the lights are simple LEDs, the irrigation system is manual, my car has push buttons, and I live in a safe enough area (by European standards) to not need doorbell or security cameras. Nothing I own depends on any external services other than the electric transformer down the street.

Never a better time to be a modern Luddite.

private dns setting of android

Probably. If that setting is enabled, Android (including Graphene) defaults to 8.8.8.8 if the higher-priority DNS servers (manual or received from DHCP) don't support DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-HTTPS.

I wonder if anyone's tried to play Bad Apple! on the branch graph.

I've been reading a lot about massive stellar objects, degenerate matter, and how the Pauli exclusion principle works at that scale. One thing I don't understand is what it means for two particles to occupy the same quantum state, or what a quantum state really is.

My background in computers probably isn't helping either. When I think of what "state" means, I imagine a class or a structure. It has a spin field, an energy_level field, and whatever else is required by the model. Two such instances would be indistinguishable if all of their properties were equal. Is this in any way relevant to what a quantum state is, or should I completely abandon this idea?

How many properties does it take to describe, for example, an electron? What kind of precision does it take to tell whether the two states are identical?

Is it even possible to explain it in an intuitive manner?

 

LED lights are great, but I miss having a mini hot plate on my desk to mindlessly touch and burn my hand.

(Do kids even watch cartoons these days, or do they go into scrolling withdrawal before the first commercial break?)
