Well more of a product/security matter here. The amount of access that an unlocked device gets you is nuts. I didn't expect to be able to reset an apple id password with a device pin code.

I was added to a waitlist, despite their blog post saying there's none. Is anyone else dealing with this?

I use self-hosted Apache Guacamole (RDP) through a reverse proxy with Google SSO (oauth2-proxy[0]). So easy to access my desktop from virtually any browser (mobile isn't the best though). This would be a good solution for gaming, but for other activities RDP is unbeatable imo.

Does this retrieve data from your accounts? If so, what does it use to do that? Plaid?

I love projects like these exists, but not being able to download the data automatically from my accounts was a dealbreaker for projects like GNUCash.

> For protection against enemy divers, dolphins will swim up to the infiltrator, bump into them and place a buoy device on their back or a limb using their mouth.

I need to see this in action. A dolphin shows up and cuffs you??

I like the wildcard certificates option, however I have not been able to find an easy solution to distribute those certificates to every host I have internally. Is this usually done manually? is there some equivalent to acme.sh?

The kind of hosts I have are OPNSense router, traefik servers, unifi controller etc.

I'm not sure what this remove-js.com page does, but if I open google.com with "Disable JavaScript" set in Chrome Devtools, it works fine. All images load, all links work etc.

I definitely get a limited set of features compared to a modern browser with JS enabled, but everything that is there is functional otherwise.
