It’s not like gtk3 is suddenly out of use.

That’s true, however the GNOME maintainers will drop support for it at some point. I guess Cinnamon or xfce could maintain their own forks, however the majority of apps target what GNOME is currently using given it’s the most popular desktop environment.

Out of all the shitposts in the world, this is certainly one of them.

consumers almost certainly will see none of the refunds.

The only company I could maybe see doing this, though still unlikely, is Costco. Membership fees are ~2% of their revenue but ~70% of their profit, so they really do try hard to keep customers happy (since losing customers has the biggest impact on their profit). If there’s any risk of customers canceling their memberships over something, they’ll do what it takes to make the customers happy.

I’m not familiar with this app, but what do you mean “gnomed”? Do you mean the UI started using Gtk4 and Adwaita components?

Gtk3 is considered legacy now, so most apps that use Gtk will be transitioning to Gtk4 (and Adwaita) at some point.

Mediawiki does have a WYSIWYG editor, but it’s a separate extension (preinstalled, but you need to enable it): https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor

The benefit of Mediawiki is that anyone that’s edited Wikipedia before will know how to use it. It’s a pretty heavy piece of software though, and the learning curve is relatively high if you’ve never hosted it before.

I used Dokuwiki at my previous job, maybe 15 years ago. It worked well. It doesn’t need a database as it stores all wiki pages as plain text files on disk. I don’t know if it has a WYSIWYG editor though. I’ve never used it on a public-facing site so I’m not sure how authentication works (at my previous job, we hooked it up to Active Directory for auth).

BookStack and wiki.js are two newer ones that have good reviews, but I don’t have any experience with them.

I don’t use it since I use a paid service.

I also use an antenna with a HDHomeRun network tuner for local shows. Have you considered that? It’s only over-the-air channels of course, but combining it with something like Plex or Jellyfin lets you stream and record live TV from anywhere.

https://thetvapp.to/ is probably the best you’re going to find for free.

All the best IPTV services cost money and are hidden away, usually with just a private Discord or Telegram. The one I use is around $40/year but they’re not taking new customers (they’ve been closed to new customers for 3 or 4 years now).

There’s some well-known services you can find via Google, like Apollo TV, but they’re usually overpriced and just resell streams from a cheaper provider.

A lot of these devices are Ethernet-only to simplify things. Ethernet is more reliable, people that use KVM/IPMI for remote management usually use it via Ethernet, and it means they don’t need to bundle wifi drivers with their OS. Also, some of them are powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet) to avoid needing a separate power cable.

You could plug it into a cheap wifi bridge to make it wireless.

It might be your ISP trying to block it. I’m surprised they’re not using HSTS to force HTTPS.

wait for a Steam sale.

Not sure why someone in this community would suggest Steam over GOG. Every game on GOG is DRM-free, so you own it forever and the installer will keep working even if GOG goes away.

Games on Steam are a license they can revoke at any time. You don’t actually own the game. Some games are DRM-free, but there’s no way to get a standalone installer for them.

Some people pirate or crack games they legally own, just so they have more flexibility and aren’t treated like a criminal by DRM systems. You don’t need to worry about that with GOG.

Haha good point - maybe “generated by” is a better description?

I hate to say it, but there’s a lot of “vibe coders” that use AI to write their code, then they (or someone else) use AI to review it. No human brains involved.

The article says:

None of the tools produced exploitable SQL injection or cross-site scripting

but I’ve seen exactly this. After years of not seeing any SQL injection vulnerabilities (due to the large increase in ORM usage plus the fact that pretty much every query library supports/uses prepared statements now), I caught one while reviewing vibe-coded code written generated by someone else.

Why not use a provider like AirVPN that lets you use the same port number all the time?

Mine does this for the fridge but not for the freezer, which is confusing.

The issue with that is that all of them require internet access for that, and there’s no way I’m connecting my fridge to the internet.

I got a new fridge last year and the whole back of it (behind the shelves) is lit evenly, I guess with LEDs. Far nicer than a bulb.

How does this differ from every other distribution method, though? You can just as easily do something malicious with an Appimage or Debian/rpm package.

If you want to share something with just some people, they can create a Tailscale account and you can share it with them that way.

For public access, accessing it using a domain that uses your public IP should work. Most routers let you do that (“hairpin NAT”). Although to be honest, most of my public facing things are on a VPS rather than on my home server. More reliable and a higher quality internet connection for a fairly cheap price per month.

third party cameras won’t support detection unless you also add a Unifi AI Port.

Does Unifi not support ONVIF events? Seems like a pretty major missing feature if so. I guess they really do want to lock you into their ecosystem.
