I swear Lemmy comments for YouTube had a feature that let you open it for any page, but it seems the GitHub and Firefox page been deleted.

Edit: Looks like I've still got a fork: https://github.com/Steve-Tech/Reddit-Comments-for-YouTube (it says Reddit, but works for Lemmy too)

There's The Serial Port, It's not really 'home networks', but he finds and sets up very early (~80-90s) ISP gear and explains how it works and the history of it. Similar to how Ben Eater uses an 'old' 6502 to explain stuff.

I've seen some that activate an insane number of breakpoints, so that the page freezes when the dev tools open. Although Firefox let's you disable breaking on breakpoints all together, so it only really stops those that don't know what they're doing.

I have no idea how CoW interacts with NTFS

With btrfs you can disable COW for specific files, that might give you a little performance boost.

To their partners*. Which I believe are companies that help out with support or something.

Cloudflare tunnels uses a QUIC connection between the cloudflared on the server and Cloudflare itself, which is encrypted similarly to HTTPS.

Whatever protocol cloudflared uses to talk to your webserver locally is configurable through the Cloudflare access web UI (just change http to https). I've actually got it configured to use unix sockets, which lets me treat it differently in my nginx config.

The HTTPS certs are designed to prevent MITMing, but if it's still a worry or the domain is blocked by DNS, you can manually find the IP and add it to your hosts file instead.

It's probably blocked for whatever reason (maybe less than 90 days old?)

My work and Uni do the same thing, they don't do full SSL inspection, so most websites don't need a custom certificate authority; but if the SNI is blocked then they need a custom certificate to hijack and display a blocked message, most browsers will detect this as a MITM and display a not secure message instead.

For ergonomics, the plugin should be able to spot cuts in the video so you can easily select the correct frames.

This shouldn't even be too hard, I doubt YouTube is completely rerendering every video with ads, they'd just insert the ad in before an I frame in the video. So each ad will start with an I frame, and the video will resume on an I frame, meaning just let the user select all the I frames, no fancy cut detection algorithm is needed.

I have no idea how to do this from JS though.

Also I mean video I frames, not HTML iframes.

IIRC the RTL chip inside them was originally designed for TV, so it works great! I'm actually using very cheap AliExpress clones for the TV ones, because they otherwise don't work very well.

I'm also using the outdoor TV antenna on my roof (common in Australia, idk elsewhere), and a splitter and adaptors. And with that I get every channel with no artifacts, at 30% strength, but that'll probably be higher with not awful SDRs.

I've got an interesting setup I'd like to share:

So I've got a Raspberry Pi with 4 RTL-SDRs, 2 for TV, 1 for radio, and 1 for plane transponders. That runs SatPi for the 2 TV SDRs, which TVHeadend running on my main server connects to, to record and stream. Jellyfin also connects to TVHeadend to properly index everything and for easy access to recordings and live TV.

Looks like 2x 4 pin fan headers:

But yeah I've got an AliExpress X99 board, which threw all sorts of hardware errors, had no fan speed control (100% all the time), no working hwmon sensors, and I ended up buying a used Supermicro board instead.
