  • You can do anything at Zombocom

  • I developed my own scraping system using browser automation frameworks. I also developed a secure storage mechanism to keep my data protected.

    Yeah there is some security, but ultimately if they expose it to me via a username and password, I can use that same information to scrape it. Its helpful that I know my own credentials and have access to all 2FA mechanisms and am not brute forcing lots of logins so it looks normal.

    Some providers protect it their websites with bot detection systems which are hard to bypass, but I've closed accounts with places that made it too difficult to do the analysis I need to do.

  • I scrape my own bank and financial aggregator to have a self hosted financial tool. I scrape my health insurance to pull in data to track for my HSA. I scrape Strava to build my own health reports.

  • Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux

    Jump

  • Can't be a passive adapter or else that would mean DisplayPort and HDMI have to protocol compatible. If they were then we wouldn't have this issue. Apparently I was wrong.

  • Low FPS in Firefox on one monitor

    Jump

  • Just an update. Firefox 146 just dropped with:

    • Firefox now natively supports fractional scaled displays on Linux (Wayland), making rendering more effective.

    After upgrading to 146 and natively using Wayland, it feels faster. Some fade animations are still choppier, but on average it's at least tolerable.

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

  • Low FPS in Firefox on one monitor

    Jump

  • Interesting. I played around with X11 vs Wayland settings just to see what different configurations give me

    • MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 /snap/bin/firefox - Exhibits low FPS issue
    • MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 /snap/bin/firefox - Actually feels fast like it should be. Most animations feel faster, some are still choppy though. It's hard to tell.

    It seems like running with X11 sort of the problem? Which seems unexpected and concerns me since I know distros are starting to default to Wayland.

  • Yep, both are plugged into the graphics card. Other programs and games are a lot faster.

  • Anubis is awesome and I want to talk about it

    Jump

  • If the app is just a WebView wrapper around the application, then the challenge page would load and try to be evaluated.

    If it's a native Android/iOS app, then it probably wouldn't work because the app would try to make HTTP API calls and get back something unexpected.

  • Do you think standard batteries like A, AA, AAA, C, and D, 9V etc will eventually become obsolete?

    Jump

  • Putting the charger circuit inside the battery takes away battery capacity, so I still buy the external chargers

  • DFRobot router board with a CM4

    Jump

  • Unless you're running VLANs, in which case the inter VLAN is normally handled by the router. I also expose my home lab services over BGP so all my traffic hits the router then comes back to my lab services.

  • It's your fault my laptop knows where I am

    Jump

  • Every WiFi router and network has something called an SSID and a BSSID. The SSID is the friendly name that you use to show off your puns to your neighbors. The BSSID is a 6 byte MAC address. All devices use the BSSID when connecting and communicating.

    With a non hidden SSID, your router broadcasts the SSID and BSSID.

    The BSSID doesn't change even if you change your SSID (Though APs with support for multiple SSID create a different BSSID per network) and it's what is actually used for geo location.

    When it's hidden, it doesn't send the SSID out, but sends out packets with the BSSID. Clients then scream out to the void "anybody know the SSID 'My Secret SSID??'" Then it'll respond.

    So basically hidden networks still send out the unique identifying address and then when you take your phone with you, you're just telling everybody what your home WiFi is called.

    Hidden SSIDs are not that useful.

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002

    According to this post, it was partly that and lack of maintainers. Given there's maintainers for a fork, I'm curious why they didn't bring them into the main project.

    Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

  • PSA syncthing-fork has changed owners

    Jump

  • We're sort of in this situation because the official project decided not to continue providing an official Android app, yet people want to use it on Android forcing unofficial versions to be created and maintained.

    I get that they don't want to deal with Google Play anymore, but somebody has to deal with it and them not owning the app is putting users at risk.

  • Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

    Jump

  • How would that work? The use case is for previews for pull requests. Somebody submits a change to the website. This creates a preview domain that reviewers and authors can see their proposed changes in a clean environment.

    CloudFlare pages gives this behavior out of the box.

  • Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

    Jump

  • It is for pull requests. A user makes a change to the documentation, they want to be able to see the changes on a web page.

    If you don't have them on the open web, developers and pull request authors can't see the previews.

    The issue they had was being marked as phishing, not the SSL certificate warning page.

  • Linux Now Disabling TPM Bus Encryption By Default For Performance Reasons

    Jump

  • That probably makes sense. Most people don't have the risk of a malicious actor sniffing their TPM bus and those that do can opt in. Everybody else can still benefit from a TPM

  • Just Let Me Select Text

    Jump

  • That would appear to be intentional. If you go to any other page user select works fine

  • What do you think: should all government software be open source?

    Jump

  • Even if an external company makes it, they can add an open source mandate if they want. The US DoD is starting to mandate the usage of open standards for their contractors to increase inter compatibility and ability to extend those systems.

    Open source software has some value like making it easier for analysts to find security issues and the act of open sourcing software usually leads organisations to raise the quality because they don't want to be ashamed of the code. Plus imagine the clout gained by a dev who got a bug fix merged in that millions of citizens get to use.

  • These days, systemd can be a cause of restrictions on daemons

    Jump

  • systemd-analyze security {service} gives you a nice print out of what flags are able to be set. Note it doesn't actually check what flags are compatible. I use it as a starting point of what to try.
