would there be any difference if the webpage has a JS button to put something in the clipboard, or it having code running in the background that puts things into the clipboard at page load?

Clicking a button shows user intent, whereas a page load doesn’t. No user expects loading a page to overwrite their clipboard, but every user that clicks a “Copy to Clipboard” button does expect it.

Not sure what you mean by “controlled” given it’s open-source?

I really do enjoy that the web development community is finally getting excited about faster development tools, but…

written in Rust

It seems like there’s a new version of the old joke about vegans.

Q: How do you know someone is a vegan writes code in Rust?
A: They’ll tell you

I don’t understand why the developers of these tools have to point out that they’re written in Rust in the first few sentences about the project, as if that’s the main feature? Programming language is an implementation detail, not a core feature. I don’t care what language my developer tools are written in as long as they’re fast.

As an alternative to Webpack, I like esbuild. Not as powerful, but way simpler to use, and handles maybe 85% of common use cases.

At least back then, snaps wouldn’t work if the home folders were not under /home/<username>,

Do you mean that it literally had /home/ hard-coded instead of using $HOME? That’s crazy if so.

But why deal with separate software like dnscrypt-proxy when AdGuard Home has it built-in?

A recursive DNS server and a local DNS cache/forwarder/are two different things with two different purposes. You will always need both.

Why do you need two separate ones though? Recursive DNS servers also cache responses. Usually the only reason you’d run a local forwarder/cache is if you’re not running a local recursive server.

Yeah it’ll use the local copy if it exists.

I use a wildcard cert in some places, but most of them are individual certs. You can have multiple ACME DNS challenges on a single domain, for example _acme-challenge.first.int.example.com and _acme-challenge.second.int.example.com for first.int.example.com and second.int.example.com respectively.

The DNS challenge just makes you create a TXT record at that _acme-challenge subdomain. Let’s Encrypt follows CNAMES and supports IPv6-only DNS servers, so I’m using some software called “acme-dns” to run a DNS server specifically for ACME DNS challenges. It’s just listening on a IPv6 in one of my VPS /64 IPv6 range.

IMO it’s easiest to just use a real domain for your local network. For example, I use subdomains of int.example.com, where example.com is my blog.

Then, you can get Let’s Encrypt or ZeroSSL certificates for all the hosts. Systems do not need to be accessible over the internet - you can use an ACME DNS challenge instead of a HTTP one. Use something like certbot or acme.sh and renewals will be automated.

The only cost is for one domain, and some TLDs are less than $5/year. Check tld-list.com and sort by renewal price, not registration price (as some are only cheap for the first year).

Yeah this is strange. People need to stop vilifying sex work. If the person is doing it willingly, they’re not hurting anyone, and they enjoy doing it, what’s the problem?

I have Plexamp on my phone configured to automatically download the “loved” album (songs I’ve rated 4 or 5 stars). It automatically downloads songs I add to the playlist. My library is too big to download it all to my phone (most songs are in FLAC format) so I’d need to download a curated list anyways.

This seems to work well. I’ve used it a few times on flights or when I’m in a hotel room with spotty phone coverage and no wifi.

Hot take: If you don’t like ads, then don’t use services/sites that are funded by ads?

Throw Unbound on there too as your upstream recursive resolver

If you want to run your own recursive DNS server, why would you run two separate DNS servers?

You don’t even need to worry about an encrypted session to your upstream anymore because your upstream is now your loopback.

Your outbound queries will still be unencrypted, so your ISP can still log them and create an advertising profile based on them. One of the main points of DoH and DoT is to avoid that, so you’ll want them to be encrypted at least until they leave your ISP’s network.

You can download all your playlists.

AdGuard Home is a better choice than PiHole since it uses DNS-over-HTTPS by default. There’s also an app called AdGuardHome-Sync to sync settings between multiple instances.

I’d recommend running two DNS servers, and at least one of those separately from the rest of your infrastructure like on a Pi. That way, if you need to pull one of them offline, the internet still works.

Surely you mean WS_FTP LE.

Put all songs in a playlist and then download that playlist?

Their main product is a server that you run on a computer and lets you stream your own content.

It’s also the only desktop OS that’s actually Unix. MacOS gets official Unix certification with every major release. All other “Unixy” OSes are just “Unix-like”.
