I think any app for text input should have word prediction. It’s mostly for phone users but I’ve found it so handy since getting a phone where it’s well implemented (Pixel 8) I’ve quickly come to think of it as an essential component that should be available to any app.
Thanks, I’ll lookup pfSense. But straightforward host mapping has worked for me in the past with this router and others. It worked great on my old Cisco DSL router 25 years ago. So simple and straightforward, it should just freaking work. sigh
When somebody says they “just” reverse the polarity of the navigational deflector array and channel power directly from the warp core.
I can’t even get host mapping to work on my Centurylink router - the name is defined for the IP address but nothing else on my network can browse to it by name, only by IP. - software dev who has never understood networking.
Dammit, my friend just said he would give me access to his file server, all I have to do is install Plex. Presumably this announcement means that will become impossible without a subscription.
When I run out of the solar system I’m going to move on to Star Wars.
I’ve named my last few computers after planets, with disks named after moons.
When I worked at Microsoft they had all kinds of clusters - OurGang with Spanky, Darla, Alfalfa… Addams with Gomez etc, Disney with Mickey, etc.
I installed Mint last week and haven’t addressed media players yet… strokes chin. Thanks for the info!
Company: Yes we’re charging you more… but on the other hand we’re giving you less, so it all evens out. Besides, changing hosts is a pain.
Customers: Changing hosts is such a pain.
I think you pretty much just now wrote a landing page, you just need to turn those into links and host that page somewhere.
Sure, you could create a database or JSON file with attributes of each thing and use React or Node.js to generate the UI, but that doesn’t seem necessary for a need on this scale - when things change just edit the landing page. I’ve been keeping links to my soft copies of D&D books and stuff with a simple HTML page for years, and I’m a web dev. No need to do work the requirements don’t demand.
Somewhat, but I’m thinking of the future of federation as a torrenty mesh of peers with no actual hosting “service” that can be turned off. That’s how I picture the Cortex in the Firefly universe. When Simon as a boy is excited about getting a “source box” I imagine it’s a participant as opposed to just an endpoint.
Federated as opposed to using a Wordpress hosting service etc that can be turned off by someone’s business decision.
I signed up for early access, but tbh based on the signup page it’s hard to have a lot of confidence in anyone who thinks really light gray text on a white background is a sensible idea.
Same principle as, “A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client?”
Might get around to tidying this 20-year-old mess up a bit - tho I’m not sure where to start lol.
I am not a proud man.
One thing I really do hate is a download page with a giant green DOWNLOAD button that’s just an ad link, and the thing I went there to download is a tiny text link.
I imagine it’s like me trying to watch a TV show with commercials after 20 years of Netflix. Holy crap, I don’t know how I ever grew up with all that noise.
LOL yeah I actually understand that last part LOL (former web dev, retired). Sites jinking around while the ads load and I’ve already started reading the content are super annoying.
If pi-hole blocks all ads how does the web look? Do pages have a lot of blank areas on them or what?
Let’s go for a walk in the park - they just cleaned the algae tanks!
