That guy is a tech reviewer on YouTube, it probably makes for good content, and he may not have even bought it.

Python would be, and yt-dlp is a Python app.

I think things still need to be compiled specifically for a-shell, you can’t just run a random binary. Also iOS is more closely related to BSD, so Linux apps wouldn’t work anyway.

Forky is from Toy Story 4, but I’m sure there’s still more original Toy Story characters to use, let alone more movies to come.

I actually made a similar thing a few years ago, and mostly relied on WebSockets with a HTTP fallback: https://github.com/Steve-Tech/My_Time

You actually seem to know what you’re doing with Workers though, mine was pretty much a half-assed attempt at porting my python code (which again could probably be better).

Also my desktop is PTP synced to a GNSS disciplined time server, and I’ve found the My_Time workers demo to be fairly accurate. I also feel Cloudflare should be reasonably accurate given they have database products you’re intended to use with workers, but yeah, there’s no guarantees.

Also,

it doesn’t run some major software, such as Adobe Creative Cloud or Microsoft 365 desktop apps.

I don’t use it, but I’ve heard Adobe CC can work now. Microsoft Office also still works for me with CrossOver, although they’ve just given up on support for it. Sure, these are much more nitpick things, but I think the author could’ve at least done some research.

Damn, you didn’t even need to fake it, it’s already happening: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/

Sure it’s still just a joke, but there is a follow up:

The date notwithstanding, I do actually think we should do most of this for real.

Currently I’m working on whatports.work in between my studies, basically its an outgoing port tester so that users can test their network’s firewall rules. It’s similar to portquiz.net, except it has a JS port check, UDP and IPv6 support, and hopefully HTTPS soon.

I’ve also thought about getting an ASN and doing some anycast stuff. Especially since it’s hosted in Sydney currently, which adds a bunch of latency for anyone not in Australia. Also there’s a lot of port scan bots, and the server is doing its best to respond to all of them, with some rate limiting of course, but it’ll be good to distribute the load anyway.

Interesting that PTP is on the roadmap. I find LinuxPTP a massive pain to configure properly since it’s split up into phc2sys and ptp4l, hopefully ntpd-rs can simplify things.

Someone would say something like ‘you can unlock a secret page on Facebook, just press F12 and paste this in’, and the snippet would upload the victim’s session token to the scammer’s server. So that they can use the account to promote a crypto scam or whatever.

Apparently Chrome, which i used on my work computer to get some game files, downloads images in .webp by default.

Some servers will serve webp to supported browsers to save bandwidth, even if the URL ends in .png. So its not Chrome’s default, its the website.

Google also has this little easter egg: https://www.google.com/teapot

Oh damn it’s a single ~2830 line powershell or python file depending on the OS. Neat idea, but I don’t trust it in the slightest.

I’ve been using a pay as you go plan (not the always free) for years and I’ve never had anything deleted. As it’s still got all the always free stuff I’ve also never payed a cent. I believe it just removes the barrier to paying, but you can add quota limits just in case.

I have 3 instances running (offsite motioneye [arm], wordpress [arm], wstunnel [x86]), but I have daily backups to my home server and plans in place if they get deleted.

Yeah and North Lakes makes no sense to be mentioned, especially when the ABS lists it’s population as 23k and there’s much bigger suburbs of Brisbane.

I wonder if the designer used an AI as their source?

A lot of distros have the logos disabled in the kernel config too.

The botnet’s code probably doesn’t support IPv6.

Is there something about it that makes it more resilient to DDOS?

While archlinux.org doesn’t do this, you can have multiple A and AAAA records which can provide DNS based load balancing, and IPv6 is easier to do that with since you usually get allocated a whole prefix. Of course that only helps to distribute the load, if your internet connection is the bottleneck then it won’t help.

If you’re interested, the guy that made the original scale of the universe has a YouTube channel with some interesting stuff: https://youtube.com/user/carykh

also allow responses from any established connection

You shouldn’t need to as iptables is stateful, you would need to for stateless firewalls though.

You’d also need to open UDP 123 for NTP, I see that mistake a lot.

I can find the official Pi Pico for $3.50, I’m sure clones are cheaper than that.
