You dont need a second computer, just replace the drive with an empty one.

It might be worth setting up a seperate Chromium extension store independent from Google

It does (they of course use their Azure Blob storage under the hood). Forgejo however does not (even though it supports it for releases and packages and Golang has this in their standard library).

I'll keep the idea in mind.

Technically unlimited, but you obviously need to have enough storage to cache the zip files (and RAM to cache the file index). My server is very small, so I needed to set the limit low.

 

I want to showcase the project I have been working on for the last weeks. GitHub and Gitea/Forgejo allow you to upload files and directories created during a continuous integration run (Artifacts). These can be downloaded as zip files. However there is no simple way to view individual files of an artifact.

That's why I developed a small web application that allows you to view the artifacts of any CI run in your web browser. This allows you to quickly look at test reports or preview your web projects.

I am hosting a public instance with support for GitHub and Codeberg under https://av.thetadev.de/.

Features

  • 📦 Quickly view CI artifacts in your browser without messing with zip files
  • 📂 File listing for directories without index page
  • 🏠 Every artifact has a unique subdomain to support pages with absolute paths
  • 🌎 Full SPA support with 200.html and 404.html fallback pages
  • 👁️ Viewer for Markdown, syntax-highlighted code and JUnit test reports
  • 🐵 Greasemonkey userscript to automatically add a "View artifact" button to GitHub/Gitea/Forgejo
  • 🦀 Fast and efficient, only extracts files from zip archive if the client does not support gzip
  • 🔗 Automatically creates pull request comments with links to all build artifacts

Examples

Here are some artifacts to try:

SveltePress documentation site: https://cb--thetadev--artifactview--28-2.av.thetadev.de/

A bunch of test files: https://cb--thetadev--artifactview--28-1.av.thetadev.de/

Artifactview's own test report: https://cb--thetadev--artifactview--65-1.av.thetadev.de/junit.xml?viewer=1

Automatically created pull request comment: https://codeberg.org/ThetaDev/artifactview/pulls/2

 

or why it is not a good idea to use your birthday as your pin

Spotify does not have the power to lock your credit card or paypal account. Account bans might happen and I have seen E-Mail screenshots of people who got banned. I am not sure if they would take down an entire set of family accounts.

If you care about the content of your Spotify account (playlists, listening history) you should not use it for piracy. Just create a new one. If you are fine with 160kbps OGG files, you dont even need a paid account.

Do not create Spotify accounts with trash mail addresses, they may work at first and get banned the next day (happened to me after I created some accounts for scraping their API).

You can also export all your Spotify data as a precaution (GDPR export from the account page, they send you an email with a link to a zip file after a couple of days).

What is a CD player plug?

And the weight. A recreational glider weighs about 600kg. They want to build one that carries 3 and later 10 tons.

If a recreational glider crashes into a house, it usually does not cause a lot of damage except to the pilot, see here:

Now make that thing 20times heavier. There is a reason drones are regulated by weight class.

First thing I was asking is the model of toothbrush that supposedly got hacked. AFAIK there are no mainstream electric toothbrushes with onboard WiFi. Both OralB and Philips use Bluetooth for their smart functionalities.

If the story was about smart ovens or washing machines I would have believed it.

Bad bot, you should verify whether Piped can accept an URL and not simply link all YouTube URLs to Piped.

RSS feeds are XML files which contain a list of documents hosted on the internet (articles, audio/video). The feed entries contain basic metadata (title, date, author, summary) and a link to the original website (or audio/video file in the case of a podcast).

Feed readers send a simple web request to the website hosting the feed, downloading it if it has changed since the last update. The content is then combined with other feeds and displayed. This way you can have a personalized news reading experience without needing to create an account at a a central provider or open every individual site.

Alternative YouTube clients use RSS feeds provided by YouTube (example: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC2DjFE7Xf11URZqWBigcVOQ), but they are only used to update subscriptions. All other requests (search, watching videos) are handled by the same web interface as the YouTube desktop application. Fetching the RSS feeds is a lot faster than opening the channel page, so the RSS featuee allows you update 100 or more channels in a few seconds.

The way podcast ads work is either just like YouTube sponsorships (the podcaster gets paid by a company to speak an advertisement themselves) or they are dynamically inserted by the podcast provider (these are the interrupting ads). Since most podcast apps dont store cookies, there is no way to track users and personalization is done only via the IP-based location and topic of the podcast. RSS-based podcast players have no way of directly reporting back playback telemetry. The server hosting the podcasts can only count the number of downloads/playbacks. So there is no way to count the amount of watched ads when using a RSS-based podcast player like AntennaPod or Kasts. Note: this does not apply to podcasts on Spotify, Apple Music or similar platforms. These platforms absolutely track your listening activity. I have no idea whether this affects ad/sponsorship earnings.

One important thing if you are building a RSS application is that the server should support conditional requests (the If-Modified-Since header). This way, a client does not have to download the entire feed on every update. It simply sends the last update date with its request and the server returns an empty response if the feed is up to date.

There are some applications (for example YouTube) which dont support this, resulting in higher-than-necessery data usage, especially on mobile.
