Ebay
I imagine their source code is such an unmaintainable mess that it’s impossible to modernize
- Comment on I cannot seem to figure out how to get caddy automatic HTTPS to work behind cloud flair proxy. 2 months ago:
Can’t speak for OP but I was also attempting this and couldn’t get it working. My use case is that CF tunnels make multiple of my self hosted services available on the Internet via HTTPS and without directly exposing my home IP.
It does however mean that even when I use a service on my home network, everything is being proxied through CF which makes things much slower than they need to be 90% of the time. So my idea is to use caddy in parallel to CF and have a local DNS server point to my homelab, thereby circumventing the proxy whenever I’m on my home network.
But like I said I could not get this working just yet.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 6 months ago:
I keep hearing this from people but it runs terrible on my SD. Cannot get more than ~27 fps and it regularly dips below that.
Did you tweak the settings somehow?
I previously played it on my Xbox and had a great time. Would love to play it again on the SD eventually.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 6 months ago:
Sort of. Google and Microsoft really weren’t on good terms back then (relatively speaking). Both were competing for the mobile OS market, and Microsoft ran this whole „Don’t get Scroogled“ campaign to demote Android.
Naturally, Google did not offer any of their apps for Windows phone - i.e. no Google maps or YouTube. Microsoft then made their own YouTube client for windows phone which was an okay app. However Google wasn’t happy with this and had them take down the app and replace it with their own version instead.
The problem is that Google’s YouTube app for windows phone was so embarrassingly bad that after countless 1-star reviews they decided to pull the app from the windows phone store, effectively leaving the platform with no YouTube app at all. There was at least one third party client which was decent, but there was never another official one after that IIRC.
- Comment on Do you encrypt your data drives? 6 months ago:
I was actually using my own user account instead of root, but now that you mention it… I’m not sure how that would even work so yeah that makes sense.
I did rebuild the initramfs after every change but did not manually copy the key file anywhere other than etc.
Will check out the link tomorrow. Thanks a lot for sharing!

As mentioned in another comment I haven’t quite gotten it working but it should be possible to do this via SSH
- Comment on Do you encrypt your data drives? 7 months ago:
I‘m in the process of setting up a new NAS with Debian and disk encryption, and this is exactly what I’m struggling with. I’ve tried multiple guides for Dropbear but every time I try to SSH into the server to unlock it, I get “Permission denied”.
- Comment on What do you use to mount encrypted drives on boot? 11 months ago:
Thank you! I had no clue what to even search for but your comment pointed me in the right direction.
I spent the past hour setting this up and it almost works, but for some reason when I boot I only see something like “Loading initramfs” and then just a black screen and nothing happens. If I mash the escape key before I reach the black screen then plymouth works and I see the logo and LUKS password prompt.
- Comment on What do you use to mount encrypted drives on boot? 11 months ago:
In the past I wanted to use auto unlock via TPM, however it seems quite complicated to set up and the Arch wiki advises against it anyway, so I just enter the password during boot.
The one improvement I would like to make here is to have a nicer input (visually) like Fedora but I’m not sure how this is done and how I could replicate that on Arch.
- Comment on Apple has seemingly found a way to block Android’s new iMessage app 11 months ago:
Literally everyone I know uses WhatsApp. It’s probably been over a decade since I last sent or received an actual SMS.

It’s on my todo list I swear
- Comment on Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024 11 months ago:
I remember trying this as well but it didn’t help, and the problem also exists on Linux
- Comment on Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024 11 months ago:
Sure, please check the other reply in this comment thread
- Comment on Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024 11 months ago:
Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem. On the left is Firefox and on the right Thorium (Chromium). I’ve had this problem on Windows before but now I’m using Linux and it’s the same unfortunately.
- Comment on Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024 11 months ago:
Because bold fonts look weird in Firefox and I have not found a way to change that
- Comment on YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge 1 year ago:
Well, if you visit Youtube to watch a video, it will serve both the video and the ads from the same website. Ads are not necessarily being loaded from another website. If they were, we could just DNS-block YouTube ads, and they would be gone in your entire home network, for instance.

Have you tried to start it from the terminal? Maybe there is some insight into which part of the startup process is taking so much time
