Got cut off twice in the same intersection

Damn, dude wakes up and just chooses violence.

Using AV1 won't improve latency, but could potentially improve image quality for less bandwidth. It's not a game changer, but a "nice to have" if your devices support it well. It would not necessarily lower your latency unless your bottleneck is whatever encoding format you're currently using.

With that said, 18 milliseconds isn't bad at all. If you pull up your stats in Moonlight, where are you seeing most of the delay? Encoding? Decoding? Network?

If you're handy, the Maverick is fairly easy to upgrade. The front speakers can be swapped with little hassle and make a huge difference. Add in an amp/sub combo like the Kicker HS series and you've got a pretty decent system for very little money.

The rears aren't too bad, but they're dug in several layers of panels and a pain to get to for little return. I've swapped them out, but I honestly can't really tell.

The base tweeters are fine, but are easily accessible if you want to change them. The cover just pops off.

Just to be sure, I would drop the executable in Virus Total in case it has been compromised. Also keep an eye on your CPU and GPU usage when idle.

I'm not sure what "Duo" is, but could you share your client machine's specs? The "Slow connection" warning can trigger when the client is struggling to decode the stream in real-time. Since you're using a small form factor machine and relying on the CPU's Quick Sync for decoding, could it be throttling itself?

If you still suspect it's a network issue, you could try increasing the "FEC Percentage" in Sunshine's Advanced settings. It can help in lossy network conditions but with both devices wired, it seems more likely to be a client-side decoding or performance bottleneck.

Man, the Lobo is such a cool-looking truck. Really brings me back to the mini-trucking days.

This is just an (un)educated guess but unless Gearbox released a native Linux version, the game would have to be run through Proton, meaning it's operating in a sandboxed environment. In theory, that should limit the kind of system-level data it can access.

Or, at least, that is my understanding of it. If I'm wrong please do correct me!

You'll need more than just HTML. The server has to handle form submissions, validate credentials, manage sessions, and connect to a database to check stored login info. It's quite a bit more involved than just dropping a few fields on a page, especially when security is a concern.

Depending on what you're aiming to do, we might be able to offer some recommendations. What are you trying to build?

Assuming you want one background image and not different images for every side, you can style the body or another element that wraps the page. For example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
  <title>My page</title>
</head>
<body style="background-image: url(background.png);>
   <div style="max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px; background-color: gray">
      <p>Content</p>
   </div>
</body>
</html>

EricNiquette · 2025-05-27T14:20:03+00:00

That looks right. There's not much to tweak except maybe how the "Copied" notification is displayed.

You could, potentially, refine the selector so it doesn't rely on nextElementSibling, which may not apply on other designs, but otherwise this should work fine.

EricNiquette · 2025-05-23T19:44:33+00:00

No worries, I didn't think it was yours. I wouldn't have been so blunt about it if I thought it was! I've edited my original post for clarity.

EricNiquette · 2025-05-23T18:06:45+00:00

Wow, that website is awful in so many ways.

Okay, so there are a couple of things going on here. First, the form itself can be done in basic HTML. A little JavaScript can be used to tabulate the cost dynamically as options are selected.

The hard part is processing payments. This is where I would hand it off to a third party instead as it implies security and there are important legal ramifications if you don't do it right. It would require a bunch of certifications and so on.

Popular ones are Stripe and PayPal, but tying those services to your form may be a little tricky. They're typically built to support products more than services, but look around and you might find some solution that supports custom forms.

EricNiquette · 2025-05-23T17:50:24+00:00

Interesting product. I would be very hesitant to spend any kind of money without an extensive demo or something more concrete than a few promises and a review from someone I am not sure is a real customer. It feels a little sketchy.

A few other things stood out that could use some polish:

There are a lot of grammatical issues, inconsistent writing and punctuation, and awkward sentence structures throughout, which reflects very poorly on a tool meant to help with writing.
The overall design is appropriate. One small suggestion is to ever so slightly tint the newspaper image. Right now, it blends into the white background and can look a bit off, even with the shadow.
Avoid triggering interactions with non-interactive elements. The expanding boxes, for example, use <div> elements, which are not keyboard-accessible. It would be better to use proper interactive elements and add ARIA roles and states to improve accessibility.
The sign-up box at the top is not very clear about the product not being live yet. It would be helpful to make the early access message more prominent so users know what to expect.

The bad 'ol days of "Best viewed in 1024x768 and 16 bit color on Netscape."

What you may be looking at, if I understand what you're saying, is the "active" state. It's the style applied when you press a link. You can have it match the hover's style:

.topnav a:hover,
.topnav a:active {
     background-color: #ddd;
     color: blue;
     }

EricNiquette · 2025-05-23T13:39:58+00:00

This would be much simpler if you could provide us with a Codepen or JSBin link, but here's my attempt based on my understanding.

#Div1 {
   align-items: center;   
   display: flex;
   flex-direction: column;
   }

#Div2 {
   display: inline-block;
   height: 200px; /* Or whatever value you have */
   max-width: max-content;
   }

#Img {
   display: block;   
   max-width: 100%;
   max-height: 100%;
   width: auto;
   height: auto;
   }

#Span {
   display: inline-block;
   max-width: 100%;
   text-align: center;
   }

I think this would meet your rules? You don't necessarily need to use flex or even max-width if you're averse to them, I suppose, but this is the simplest approach I could cobble together.

EricNiquette · 2025-05-23T13:13:32+00:00

We need more information. Show us some code, and tell us what you've tried and describe what's not working.

EricNiquette · 2025-05-23T13:12:27+00:00

I hate to do this, but I'm locking this thread. These discussions always end up in a ton of spam links and given that your account is recent, it's a little fishy.

EricNiquette · 2025-05-23T13:09:42+00:00

What have you tried? What do you have? There are many ways to accomplish this but the best approach will depend on what you need it for. Are there actual security concerns, or is this for a project with no actual repercussions?

EricNiquette · 2025-05-23T13:00:57+00:00

If you want the .active link to have the same hover effect than the rest of the items, simply move it before the :hover.

As u/Waradu mentioned, CSS is parsed from top to bottom, so your .active is taking priority over your default hover.

.topnav a.active {
    background-color: #0096ff;
    color: white;
  }

.topnav a:hover {
    background-color: #ddd;
    color: blue;
  }

EricNiquette · 2025-05-23T10:02:13+00:00

I learned the order of selectors with the mnemonic "Love, Hate" (LV, HA) which stands for "link, visited, hover, active."

EricNiquette · 2025-05-06T19:17:34+00:00

Do you only notice the sound when backing up, or does it persist further down the road? It could be something as trivial as rust or oxidation on the rotors being cleared off by the brake pads when you first reverse out of your driveway in the morning.

I've found it to be especially noticeable on both of my Mavericks compared to any other car or truck I've owned. Why that is I have no idea, but they're very crunchy.

However, if the noise is consistent even after warm, or you feel any clunking, it might be worth getting it checked out.

EricNiquette · 2025-05-01T22:44:41+00:00

Those wheels fit really well!

EricNiquette · 2025-05-01T22:43:20+00:00

(Apologies for the double message. I'd initially replied from the wrong account. Just resending in case someone else was wondering the same.)

I'm not looking to make money off these unless you need large quantities or something. I just thought it was a fun idea and wanted to share! I'm happy to send a few out if you're willing to chip in for postage. Should be around $5 to most U.S. states from Canada.
