If you screencap, use Firefox - you may get a blank screen if you attempt to capture Chrome

Made even worse by Sony, the manufacturer, completely exiting that market. I wonder if/how Sony will fix this, are there even staff on hand there with the technical details for their projector's DRM anymore?

It speaks volumes about how silly DRM is when a massive game publisher like TakeTwo/Rockstar resorts to selling a pirated version of their own game 🤦‍♂️

The next time this happens those projectors may end up being $20000 bricks, and I'm not too sure how many independents will be able to afford dumping a quarter of a million to replace all their projector screens

350°C, although I occasionally turn it down to 325 when I don't need the extra heat.

When I was using my older, cheaper solder, I had the iron maxed out at 420 and that wouldn't melt or flow easily

Been a while since I've looked at CC stuff!

Do these files come pre-patched or are they clean? If they're clean, re-install, disconnect from the internet, and see if it is able to open normally. That way we'd then be able to isolate the issue to the patch painter.

If they come pre-patched, then aside from trying on another system or in a VM, i'm not too sure how this would be fixed. Have a look at the readme/description of wherever you downloaded it from, there could be extra steps needed that haven't been done yet. If the collection came inside an ISO file, mount it instead of extracting it, as Windows Defender can't delete things from ISOs AFAIK. If you extracted, then maybe something important was deleted by Windows defender

Also, at your own risk, disable Windows defender, it may delete the patched Adobe DLLs off your system the second it sees an executable loading them

That's halfway correct - I'll try and break it down a bit further into the various parts.

Your subdomains are managed in using DNS - if you want to create or change a subdomain, that happens here. For each of your services, you'll create a type of DNS entry called an "A record", containing your service's full domain name, and the IP address of your reverse proxy (in this example, it is 10.0.0.1)

The DNS records would look like the following:

• plex.example.com, 10.0.0.1
• octoprint.example.com, 10.0.0.1
• transmission.example.com, 10.0.0.1

With these records created, typing any of these domains in a browser on your network will connect to your reverse proxy on port 80 (assuming we are not using HTTPS here). Your reverse proxy now needs to be set up to know how to respond to these requests coming in to the same port.

In the reverse proxy config, we tell it where the services are running and what port they're running on:

• plex.example.com is at server.example.com:32400
• octoprint.example.com is at server.example.com:8000
• transmission.example.com is at server.example.com:8888

Now when you type the domain names in the browser, your browser looks in DNS for the "A record" we created, and using the IP in that record it will then connect to the reverse proxy 10.0.0.1 at port 80. The reverse proxy looks at the domain name, and then connects you on to that service.

What we've done here is taken all 3 of those web-based services, and put them onto a the same port, 80, using the reverse proxy. As long as the reverse proxy sees a domain name it recognises from its config, it will know what service you want.

One thing to note though, reverse proxies only work with web-based services

A reverse proxy takes all your web-based services, e.g.

• plex on port 32400
• octoprint on port 8000
• transmission on port 8888

and allows you to map these to domain names, so instead of typing server.example.com:32400 you can type plex.example.com. I have simplified this quite a bit though - you need DNS configured as well, and depending on your requirements you may want to purchase a domain name if you intend on accessing content from outside your home without a self hosted VPN.

Cloudflare is a DDoS mitigation service, a caching web proxy, and a DNS nameserver. Most users here would probably be using it for Dynamic DNS. You can use it in combination with a reverse proxy as a means to mask your home IP address from people connecting to your self hosted web-based services remotely, but on its own it cannot be used as a reverse proxy (at least easily - would not recommend attempting to). Do note that Cloudflare can see all the data you transmit through their systems, something to bare in mind if you are privacy conscious.

In my opinion though, it would be much better for you to use a self hosted VPN to access your self hosted services (can be used in combination with the reverse proxy), unless there is a specific need to expose the services out to the internet

Edit: fix minor typo, add extra info about cloudflare

Love to see i'm not the only one who puts visual emphasis on the word "warm", just to encapculate the feeling 😁

That makes sense! In my case I actually needed to turn down my iron temps for the lead-free solder, previously had it ridiculously high from when I was trying to work with the cheap no-name solder.

This new lead free stuff is great, it comes with a price tag but it's eons better than the no-name stuff IMO.

I have flux (syringe type) but I have no idea if I'm using it correctly, or if it's just not that great. Haven't noticed too much of a difference when soldering with it, apart from needing to brush off the circuit board with some contact cleaner to remove the residue

Hands up if you/someone you know purchased a Steam Deck or other computer handheld, instead of upgrading their GPU 🙋‍♂️

To be honest I stopped following PC hardware altogether because things were so stagnant outside of Intel's alder lake and the new x86 P/E cores. GPUs that would give me a noticeable performance uplift from my 1060 aren't really at appealing prices outside the US either IMO

Personally I use Stevenblack's default one, in combination with a personal one that i've curated since 2019. Previously I used to use MVPS, however that list's included in the SB default.

Stuff that tends to slip through the cracks with a lot of the common lists includes things like admiral 🤬, user session recorders, and app monitoring platforms like sentryio (useful for development, but I didn't consent my activity being recorded). There's also Bauer Media Group garbage that I've resorted to creating firewall packet inspection rules for, because they're using a subdomain technique that's even worse than Admiral's autogenerated domains - at least with those you can use DNS analysis tools like dnsdumpster to uncover the rest of autogenerated domains in that batch

They've got some pretty interesting stuff in the pipeline, like container tabs optionally being hooked up to their own independent Mozilla VPN connection.

IMO I think they're going to go all in eventually offering a kind of "privacy ecosystem" similar to Proton

That machine looks slick af 👌 I find linux distros are so much nicer to use when the hardware itself feels great. Enjoy!
