I followed this guide. It was really easy. I just need to make the automation to renew the certificate. I have emailed the author to ask if I can reproduce it. I will of course link to it and give credit.

@bazcurtis I think you should rather try doing clouflared if you’re about to expose your instance externally.

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis Oh, just for the local traffic. That’s fine then. How are you accessing it remotely? Some VPN like tailscale?

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis Is this for the same house/local network?

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis So that goes over VPN?

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis Looked at this video, and I still don’t understand what channel are they communicating over. Cause they have to see each other somehow. If they’re not on the same local network I’d imagine you’re exposing one (or both) to the internet, or connected them with VPN (i.e. Tailscale, Wireguard, OpenVPN).

I am going to try to setup Let’s Encypt on my Home Assistant server this weekend.

This article looks very helpful.

@bazcurtis The guide you’ve described here seems to expose your HA to the internet. I’d take additional precautions and use multi factor authentication for accounts on that instance, and clodflared (which can block some unwanted traffic) instead of just SSL port exposed to the internet.

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis This guide seems like it does just that. Can you try connecting to your HA address (the one set for Dynamic DNS) using cellular on your phone?

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis Ok, if they’re communicating directly, then how are they doing it if they’re not on the same local network then?

Every few weeks the same thing with Signal for Mac. Same for WhatsApp. Only iMessage gets this right and treats non-phone devices as first-class clients that can actually log in on their own.

@nohillside @gruber Probably because you’re using it daily. I’m using it occasionally and it happens to me once in a while

I’ve got a great product idea for Apple. It’s a market that can bring in recurring revenue through consumables. One that has a variety of existing poor products with bad user interfaces, buggy software, and privacy issues.

Printers.

The vertical alignment of this text bothers me every time my watch gets unlocked.

@jamesthomson The top instead of bottom alignment is the issue here (or so it seems).

Spent some time today redesigning TextCorrect, my app that uses OpenAI to correct texts and then highlights the differences between the original text and the corrected text. I think this design refresh makes the app way more coherent.

The macOS app has received to configure a global hotkey that brings the app to the foreground in order to quickly correct a text.

And lastly, both apps now have two Shortcuts actions: Correct Text and Diff Text 😀

@simonbs Would it be possible for you to release for testing if users would provide their own API key?

@simonbs @michael Well that seems like something that is hard(er) to test :)

I’m 99% positive this is just a bug related to default browser changes and not an intentional decision, but ok let’s keep the clickbait headlines https://www.macrumors.com/2024/02/08/ios-17-4-nerfs-web-apps-in-the-eu/

The genocide continues unabated and with a juicy 17.5 billion dollars of my tax dollars with no strings attached.

And they managed to kill 10,000 children with just a fifth of the budget.

Those additional funds are a welcome addition by Israel to blow up innocent children, their hostages, women, men and a dozen Hamas operatives.

@Migueldeicaza And yet supporting Ukraine is somehow controversial.

The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.

Here’s the original source of the story: https://archive.is/2024.01.30-203406/https://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/wirtschaft/kriminalitaet-die-zahnbuersten-greifen-an-das-sind-die-aktuellen-cybergefahren-und-so-koennen-sie-sich-schuetzen-ld.2569480

It’s simply a made up example. It doesn’t exist. It starts talking about NoName Ddosia, too, which also isn’t toothbrushes.

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@GossiTheDog @SwiftOnSecurity Just as expected. But it sure was a clockbaity “exciting” story. For people who have no understanding about technology.

There's a lot to Apple's DMA response and even more misinformation and FUD floating around about it.

I spent a couple of days reading everything from the press release, to the developer documentation, and the DMA and talking to Apple and have put it all into plain English on @macstories: https://www.macstories.net/stories/understanding-apples-response-to-the-dma/

@stroughtonsmith @johnvoorhees Some of the privacy/consumer laws haven’t been perfect either, so it might go either way.

The issue is that these developers wanted one thing (lower fees), but lobbied for “freedom of stores” and “external payment systems”

They got what they asked for, which is not what they wanted.

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@Migueldeicaza What they should do is look at how fair their attitude towards artists is (and how little they’re paying them).

ElevationLabs made “the best AirTag mount for kids” – the low-profile Pin: https://matthewcassinelli.com/airtags-mount-kids-safety-pin-elevation-labs/

I recently bought a Nintendo Switch OLED (yeah I know new one will come out any year now). Really boggles my mind that Apple doesn't make a competing device, they already have just about every part to make a compelling handheld gaming device. Yeah its not going to be a trillion dollar project, but at least to me seems like super easy money.

@rileytestut @paul The issue is not with 1st party controller, it is with a dev relations story for actually good (not just mobile) games.
