Launched by CERT? I can't find anywhere (CERT website, github) these are related. Do you have sources?

That would work for a single instance, but when running multiple (e.g., you are horizontally scaled) it would not be ideal.

Is it possible to mimic "subtrace.dev"? There's the 'SUBTRACE_ENDPOINT' environment variable which can be used to set the target endpoint, but is the server side open source too? And does the license grant permission for self hosting the full stack?

Looks great! Reading through the docs it seems the subtrace process sends all data to your server. I'm reluctant to do that on a production environment, where API keys and personal data are being handled.

Is there any way to run it completely self hosted? If not, are there plans? And how will you monitize self hosted options (if it's possible)?

Linux gaming is great. Running Bazzite myself, but for proper support you should run full AMD (CPU and GPU). Nvidia drivers seem to be a pain in the arse.

Core only has the "full backup". Incremental and other types are available to enterprise. I run the Core edition (with full backups) for my personal projects.

Agreed, Immich is awesome and great. It can also do searches like "woman smiling", because all images are scanned by an ML agent as well.

Cool!

There seem to be a lot of projects in this space -- including my own tool (https://github.com/gerwim/tunnlr). Still working on it though! ;-)

> Wyze blamed "a third-party caching client library that was recently integrated into our system" for the trouble.

Yes, of course. Blame a third party library which was probably created by an open source maintainer instead of testing your own systems.

Maybe there’s proper support soon in AI landscape [0].

New comment by gerwim in "Proposed top-level domain string for private use: ".internal""

gerwim — Sat, 27 Jan 2024 08:45:49 +0000

Another fun fact about .dev which I recently found out while working on a side project:

You NEED to use https when visiting any .dev domain. Google has put it on the HSTS preload list.

It took me a while to find out why my browser kept redirecting me to https when I wanted to use http (local development). Curl worked fine…

Maybe not for Google, but it's not part of the OAuth spec. It's perfectly valid for refresh tokens to expire.

Are you sure? According to Apple [0] it requires your Apple ID password. Also, I can't reproduce this on my iOS device: it's locked by a timer which increases exponentially.

Finally. For current iOS versions, there is a workaround: use the “screentime” feature to disallow pincode changes.

In screentime you can set a different code, so when anyone else can access your phone, they can’t change the code and lock you out of your phone.

New comment by gerwim in "Are Passkeys the beginning of the end of passwords? I hope not"

You need version 2023.10 (or higher) for both extension and server for it to work.

What is this post ranting about? Pushing your keys to big tech? There is no difference if you use Chrome’s password manager for passwords or passkeys.

You can save passkeys on your own network if you use Bitwarden or if you want, write your own solution.

For 99% of the internet users, passkeys are much better than passwords.

Depending on your platform, but if you read the readme, there’s a pre packaged release with Python embedded.

If you create a new profile for the different user, you can start a second session:

I didn’t know they needed developers. I’m an avid Plex user but C# developer by trade. Cloned the server and web projects and worked on my first issue!

Which is funny, because I own an iPad from 2018. Which has the A10 chip (which was used in the iPhone 7). Guess what, the iPhone does not get iOS 17 but the iPad does get iPadOS 17.
