But you can just do that with a normal VPN? What’s the advantage doing it like this?




I’d assume it’s got something to do with the system you’re using them on, some issue with power or something that better quality drives are able to handle, but not these.

These are cheap, yes, but if everyone ordering these was failing just outside the return period, they’d have far more 1 star ratings.


If you have regular backups, not an issue. I use bitwarden self hosted through home assistant, which makes daily backups trivial.


There’s a forum I think, discord seems to be, as it clearly says, for real-time support and discussion.

I despise Discord as an alternative to a proper support forum, but having both options like this is great.




Ah you mean Razor then. Blazor lets you run C# in the browser, but Razor is the one that needs a server and streams changes to the client using signalR.


Bundle size is my only complaint with blazor, has to send the .net runtime in webassembly to the client.

Aside from this, C# on the browser is an absolute joy to use. I’d use for everything if I could.



Super interesting read. We get to experience apple’s incredible engineering, but we don’t often get the chance to see how things work under the hood. This was probably the most interesting article I’ve read in the past month.


.com domains recently got more expensive. Almost double in price compared to CloudFlare (who sell domains at cost).


There’s a project called Tabby that your can host as a server on a machine that has a GPU, and has a VSCode extension that connects to the server.

The default model is called starcoder, and it’s the small version, 1B parameters. The downside is that it’s not super smart (but still an improvement over built in tools), but since it’s such a small model, I’m getting sub-second processing times.


And power, that’s a pretty important metric if you plan on running something 24/7.



Haha punk it’s actually 192.168.1.1. you dun goofed


Wow Change Detection seems like a much better alternative to curling a webpage and using grep to search for particular elements… :/




Have you tried making a desktop application?


Idk but pricing in Australia is fucked. The fibre network isn’t that large to begin with afaik, and even if you do have fibre you have to pay an arm and a leg for good speeds.

E.g. I pay like $70 USD a month for 100/40.

Symmetric gigabit costs several hundred a month, they’re not intended for residential customers.


Man it’s not lightweight, but damn, if CSS and JS isn’t a really easy way to build cross platform UIs than other options like Qt. There’s a reason why electron is so popular.
