    Homeowner Baffled After Washing Machine Uses 3.6GB of Internet Data a Day

    Jump

  • It's 3.6GB upload though, which doesn't make much sense for a firmware update. The download usage was 96MB. But I agree that's it's probably something failing and retrying.

  • My Mikrotik routers and switches also reboot in seconds (even for upgrades), which I've never seen consumer gear do!

    Even my Ubiquiti switches seem to take a minute or so to start forwarding traffic after a reboot; whilst my Mikrotik switches reboot faster than any of my unmanaged switches start up.

  • Cloudflare usually blocks 'unknown' bots, which are basically bots that aren't search crawlers. Also I've got Cloudflare setup to challenge requests for .zip, .tar.gz, or .bundle files, so that it doesn't affect anyone unless they download from their browser.

    There's also probably a way to configure something similar in Anubis, if you don't like a middleman snooping your requests.

  • It shouldn't be because you're not actually the owner of the IP address. If any user could get a cert, they could impersonate any other.

    They're 'shortlived' 7 day certs, verified using a HTTP challenge. It doesn't matter who owns the IP, it's just a matter of who holds the IP.

  • You can setup a Forgejo Action that deploys the site using Cloudflare Wrangler. Codeberg uses Forgejo, and GitLab CI/CD should work too.

    If Wrangler is too hard I think there's a webhook thing, but I'm not too sure.

  • We don't talk about IPv5

  • Question about traffic using Cloudflare tunnel

    Jump

  • Cert pinning is pretty uncommon in the self hosting community though, especially when both Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt have a 90 day validity period and often renews after 60 days.

  • Question about traffic using Cloudflare tunnel

    Jump

  • Uhh, this might be true for WebRTC, except not much uses WebRTC other than for realtime streaming/calling. Jellyfin for example is just an mp4 stream over http; and http(s) will only use the IP in the DNS record. I'd like to see a packet capture if you are certain something is switching IP.

  • TIL the QWERTY keyboard was not designed to intentionally slow down typing

    Jump

  • I’m pretty sure QWERTY telegraph keyboards post-date typewriters.

    Yeah they do! Actually a Japanese research paper (and this video) also theorises that they also grouped similar sounding letters in American Morse Code together (e.g. Z ∙ ∙ ∙  ∙ & SE ∙ ∙ ∙   ∙, or C ∙ ∙  ∙ & S ∙ ∙ ∙)

  • Error 1033 Cloudflare

    Jump

  • Yeah, YunoHost explains why http://localhost:8536/ wouldn't be working. If cloudflared and Lemmy are in separate containers you have to put an actual IP in, since localhost points to the container itself.

  • Error 1033 Cloudflare

    Jump

  • How are you accessing it without Cloudflare? How do you know that Lemmy is actually listening?

  • Error 1033 Cloudflare

    Jump

  • What's the URL you using to access it without Cloudflare?

    Edit: Also that curl tells me it's not listening on that IP/port.

  • Error 1033 Cloudflare

    Jump

  • Can you access it without Cloudflare?

    Does curl http://localhost:8536/ work?

    You are using cloudflared right? Because normal (non-cloudflared) Cloudflare doesn't support port 8536.

  • Let’s Encrypt Begins Supporting IP Address Certificates

    Jump

  • With dynamic DNS? Yeah it always has, as long as you can host a http server.

    With a dynamic IP? It should do, the certs are only valid for 6 days for that reason.

  • xkcd #3106: Farads

    Jump

  • No it's real! I can't verify the exact rating since it OL's my meter, but with some circuitry it can power my Pi for a few minutes. I got them from element14, so it's unlikely to be a fake product.

  • Hosting services on GitHub pages URL

    Jump

  • You can host a page with an iframe, but you can't directly change the DNS record to point to something that isn't GitHub.

  • Guys you're not gonna believe this:

  • Disabling Intel Graphics Security Mitigations Can Boost GPU Compute Performance By 20%

    Jump

  • The common sketchy performance advice is to disable mitigations in the kernel, this post is about disabling mitigations in Intel's userspace graphics stack because it's already checked in the kernel.

    Assuming you meant disabling kernel mitigations, since AFAIK audio stuff doesn't usually use OpenCL:

    Has anyone else here disabled it?

    Nah, my understanding is it's not worth it on newer CPUs, and in some cases, the microcode expects things to be mitigated for best performance. Older CPUs (pre-2019ish) it does make a difference though.

    But you're welcome to benchmark it, and see if it makes a worthwhile difference on your CPU. Kernel mitigations are easy enough to turn on and off.
