Third party apps like AirGuard will track all BLE devices and beacons around you, recording the detection location on a map. I just checked mine and it's full of random iPhones, "Find My" tags, AirPods, and just 1 Tile

It also has a separate risk analysis section for tracking tags whose identifiers may be randomized for privacy

Nice. I currently play Enshrouded on the deck, and the framerate is just barely tolerable, really glad to hear improvements are on their roadmap ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I personally prefer Firefox's rendering, or even Edge's old and long deprecated EdgeHTML (Trident fork) renderer.

IME Chrome performs way too much antialiasing on graphics that are not to scale, and their default font hinting technique doesn't match Windows or even common Linux distro defaults.

It feels a lot like the enhanced speed and performance come from the shortcuts taken in the renderer, akin to Safari... except that Safari also opts to just refuse implementing new APIs and draft specs.

Text heavy sites in particular are not really that nice to read in Chrome for me personally.

It also supports some funky stuff like raw H.264 over UDP if you use ffmpeg to prepend special packets to the start of the video stream (Ideal for a DIY low latency video streaming solution ). If you decrypt digital OTA tv signals (DVB format), VLC will play the live underlying raw mpeg stream just fine.

Truly a swiss army knife of video playback, especially the underutilized network url file open option

Not exactly IMO, as containers themselves can simultaneously access devices and filesystems from the host system natively (such as VAAPI devices used for hardware encoding & decoding) or even the docker socket to control the host system's Docker daemon.

They also can launch directly into a program you specify, bypassing any kind of init system requirement.

OC's suggestion of a chroot jail is the closest explanation I can think of too, if things were to be simplified

Themes and DEs inspired by Mac tend to have a very clear and consistent design language IME

Gnome also falls into the clear and consistent camp too.

I value consistency a lot

I use certbot on only a single one of my oldest projects that has been going for almost a decade.

For everything else I use acme.sh because it works so well and integrates with a ton of DNS providers. The one time I had an issue, it was already fixed in a PR, so I just checked out that fixed version and used it for renewals until it was merged in.

Just checked the whois history on that and wow.... purchased for $6000. That is a lot of money for a domain!

It was $500 prior to Reddit's API changes, looks like another domain parking company purchased it around that time and hiked it up to $6000. Greed is one hell of a drug.

Quite curious about the current owner though, since it's been registered privately via a proxy company.

Install iptraf on the machine that's being troublesome, to see if the ping traffic even registers on the interface

I'd never imagine that the first time I'd encounter an in app purchase that outrageously expensive, would be on a wheelchair app.

F me, why do companies have to extort people like this! Glad you got it cracked in the end.
