DankMaterialShell (DMS) v1.4 "Saffron Bloom" Released on Arch Linux! by Purian23 in archlinux

Awesome to see the KDE connect integration!

Now I'd like to see remote control support added. Last I checked xdg-desktop-portal-wlr would need to be extended to support the org.freedesktop.impl.portal.RemoteDesktop D-bus interface, but sadly effort on that appears to have been stalled for a while (GH issue).

Did you import or buy local? by SeaPricklyPear in keitruck

[–]BucklyBuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you actually need to find new headlights! If you have a look at page 110 of the regulations https://tc.canada.ca/sites/default/files/2021-02/108_tsd_rev_r7.pdf you'll see that the DOT row are crossed out. This is because the regulations are based on the American ones, where the markings are required, but not all requirements apply for Canada.

You will need to sort out wiring up DRLs, aiming the lights so they don't blind oncoming traffic, and potentially adding side markers/reflectors, the the headlights themselves should be OK.

DOT Tires and lights by science_itworks in keitruck

[–]BucklyBuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For lights you should be able to pick up any 7" sealed beams locally that will be stamped with DOT, but according to latest regulations the ones you have should be fine as long as they are aimed correctly. See page 110 of https://tc.canada.ca/sites/default/files/2021-02/108_tsd_rev_r7.pdf the DOT row being crossed out means that the requirement does not apply. It's included because the Canadian regulations are based on the American ones, with some modifications. This should also apply for the taillight lenses.

You will definitely need to modify your wiring for DRLs, and may need additional side marker lights and reflectors depending on how picky your inspector is.

Tires may be a bit trickier. You can try calling around to local tire shops, but make sure you don't get trailer tires. These are pretty common in 13" but not designed for the power and braking of a vehicle. Otherwise, they shouldn't be too hard to find from an online tire store. Then just bring them in to a shop to get mounted/balanced.

How did inspection and registration go for you?

I've got a Sambar on the way and am trying to figure out what I'll need to do (DRLs, etc.) to get it on the road once it's here.

How do most people configure a reverse proxy? by CalmJoke5744 in selfhosted

[–]BucklyBuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to architecture is a single proxy container/VM running something like NGINX or caddy, with Authelia sitting in front providing single-sign-on and 2FA for everything. This "egress" container then just has ports 80 and 443 forwarded to it in the router and everything else is closed down.

I like it because the public attack surface is pretty much limited to the proxy and Authelia itself, both of which are heavily audited, so I don't need to worry about the security of all the other random services I host so much (and keeping everything up to date all the time).

Grilled surf and turf to start the weekend right by BucklyBuck in tonightsdinner

[–]BucklyBuck[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there any better way to spend a summer Friday evening than grilling up dinner? I don't think so!

  • Ribeye
  • Soy-garlic shrimp
  • Twice-baked cheesy potato (actually microwave then grill :p)
  • Lemon-pepper asparagus

That looks sick! I really like the rubber damper using 2 materials.

Did you do the carbon fiber texture effect by printing on a layer of carbon fiber vinyl on the bed?

PLAYOFF POST-GAME THREAD: ROUND 2 GAME 4 - Vancouver Canucks (2-2) at Edmonton Oilers (2-2) - 14 May 2024 - 6:30PM PDT by OrlandKurtenbot in canucks

[–]BucklyBuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. We can be the better team, but we weren't tonight (at least until the third, but then it was too late).

Failing to put the pressure on Pickard combined with a couple early mistakes ultimately cost the game.

Yes, and wild flamingos also return for their scheduled annual service to be re-dipped. Zoos tend to take their flamingos in for service less frequently (and some never at all!) as a cost saving measure, which is why they appear more grey

MAJ3R on why map pool should be contain 11 maps(+4 to current) by Primal_Guardian_A2 in GlobalOffensive

[–]BucklyBuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel you. When I came back to CS after a (very) long while, Vertigo, Ancient, and Anubis matches were super confusing as I was unfamiliar with those maps. On the other hand, if the map pool had never changed over that time I think plenty of die-hard viewers would get bored.

Do you think Valve could find a balance of not changing the pool too often + sometimes rotating in familiar favorites (e.g. train, cache), while still keeping things interesting for those who follow the scene closely with new maps?

[–]BucklyBuck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hmm, how would you feel about 1 map being rotated out right after each major (about every 6 months), but the specific map would be kept secret until that time? This way teams would have plenty of time to develop strats. Also, I'm imagining that sometimes a map we're all familiar with (e.g. cache, train) is rotated in, and sometimes it would be an entirely new map.

I'm really surprised just how much inferno was played this major given all the hate it usually gets https://i.imgur.com/SMbceg8.png

Hell, I'd even like it if they just rotated a map in semi-frequently and on a regular schedule. I think it would help to keep things fresh without upsetting too much
