I don't see how you actually see the web interface for the traffic it is tossing, and that is not explained in your readme so far as I have found.

I have it running in docker with docker run --rm \ --name oproxy \ --ulimit nofile=65535:65535 \ -p 8080:8080 \ -p 1080:1080 \ -e OPROXY_BIND_HOST=0.0.0.0 \ -e OPROXY_MITM_ENABLED=true \ -v oproxy-certs:/app/certs \ -v oproxy-storage:/app/storage \ ghcr.io/sauravrao637/oproxy:latest

and I set the proxy to use it, and it appears to work, but I don't have a way to see what it is doing.

No, you pay them for the finished product. The STYLE is independent. Lots of artists have similar styles. They don't all pay each other for copying their styles.

A friend of mine noticed that it looks like ALL these recipes are from Debbie. She has been busy! Thank you Debbie.

For chrome and firefox there is an extension I use that helps dramatically. "Scrollbar Anywhere".

The way I have it set up, I can right click and drag anywhere on "whitespace" on the page and scroll in any direction I drag the mouse. You can set it up to go as fast or slow as you like relative to the amount you move your mouse, and you can even have it "glide" when you let up on the mouse if you like.

Do the keyboard controls work for anyone else? At least for me in current Chrome, they do not seem to work as described.

hmmm. maybe?

What specifically is the actual conspiracy around "Hunter Bidens laptop"? I am not trying to be dense. I just don't understand I think where the conspiracy is.

You are actually being hit a lot more by cosmic rays that are not deflected by our atmosphere. We survive this fine. This is probably a more acurate simile than the bullet one, based on the amounts involved.

I use Total Commander and Autohotkey, and CyberChef as well.

I would add ClipMate as the absolute BEST clipboard manager: http://www.thornsoft.com/clipmate7.htm

Display Fusion Pro for managing window layout with multi monitors https://www.displayfusion.com/

Misc programs I use daily that are easily google-able: Evernote Belvedere Bitwarden Snagit

If you like Vimium, you should check out SurfingKeys. It is similar but seems to have even more going for it: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/surfingkeys/gfblio...

I think maybe Genshin Impact is made with Unity.

If it stops allowing cosmetic filtering, I will be looking for a different solution.

I am not sure where this "RSS is dead" keeps coming from, but I still use it quite happily every day.

If you hover over the Audiograms Pro help icon on the right, (midway down in the Pro plan card) it says "Custom colors, background images, and remove the Descript logo. 30 min max size (vs. 2 minutes)"

The funding link works. I suspect there was just a typo in the other posters link:

That was a good article! Thanks!

I wish they had talked a little about his work on the Amiga. He wrote a full color MacOS emluator that actually multi-tasked with the AmigaOS rather than taking over the whole machine. It actually ran Mac programs faster than the fastest Mac hardware of the day as well. Really impressive work on such low end hardware.

Yes, Simons basic really rocked my world! So many commands and cool things to play with! Inspired me to write my own "basic" extensions and burn them to a prom to make my own cartridge. Though things were much more primitive, it was fun getting such a low level look at everything.

Seems to work fine on Win 10 and latest chrome for me. I wonder if it might be related to turning on/off the GPU rendering in chrome maybe?

It does work with VNC. Not sure about VirtualGL though. It IS very comlete however, so it has a high likelihood I think.
