I saw some giant TV on LTT recently which has a DP port.


A DisplayPort Port you say?


As opposed to the DisplayPort cable, DisplayPort standard, or DisplayPort encoding that's sent over the wire, yes. This isn't a PIN number situation despite the stutter.


No, they said "DP port", not "DP Port".

DisplayPort is a standard. A DisplayPort port is a port that follows the DisplayPort standard.


And, they highjacked referral links, ensuring they got referral commission, not the original referrer.


I'm looking forward to the Go rewrite. Purely so it's less of a pain to declaratively install, and I can work it into my workflow.


I wonder why they haven't setup a pyinstaller build for consumers that just want to use it? Making people have python and faff with virtual environments feels an odd choice...

Would be nice to see a nix flake etc for tinkerers as well...


A perfect example of why one should use SSH over a mesh network like Tailscale, and don't expose over the public internet. No attack surface means no attack.


I love TS just for this reason. All ports are locked and ssh-ing is possible only via TS. And for public facing web apps I open only 80 and 443.

Does anyone have any experience with CF tunnels on free account? Is it actually free for smaller apps with less than 1TB of traffic per month? I was wondering about switching to CF tunnel which would mean I could also close 80 and 443 ports and block China (because I read somewhere that most of DDOS attacks come from Chinese locale botnets).


For some additional peace of mind, you could also use something like Authentik in front of your web apps, so you don't expose the apps themselves, only Authentik. You can then use the IDP of your choice within Authentik for authentication.


Thanks, I was thinking about small but public project.


Yes, CF tunnels are $0 for very small users. I have this, as do many others, as a reverse proxy for stuff like Home Assistant and it works great.


Thank you, I'll have to try them


Unraid is nice, and pretty easy to maintain. You get a web interface and can set up auto updates. There a many different applications in their app store, too, or you can make your own using plain docker.


It's particularly strange, given NixOS is recommended in the alternate (no systemd) list. NixOS does indeed use systemd.


Even easier is to use Tailscale. Run tailscale on your laptop and server, and then access the web UI by using <tailnet_server_ip>:<port>


I love your HR comment. It's HR's literal job to interview / hire people. It's not the job of the candidate to interview for a position. Deluded, self-important lunatics.


It's in the video.


I'm in Ireland, but have recently been diagnosed by a UK doctor as having ADHD. If you go privately, it's not a terrible process, and my local GP is willing to prescribe as my UK ADHD expert advises. Granted, medication has had no positive impact on me so far, but getting the diagnosis was pretty straightforward.
