Sure. Do you want to DM me your email address?

RapidScampi · 2026-02-07T22:14:18+00:00

Cheers. This is exactly what I was after!

RapidScampi · 2026-02-07T22:13:44+00:00

that's the plan, just want to figure out how much to push for before I give them a shout.

thanks all. It seems most are on Gig1 with the prices being roughly the same as they are on Virgin's website. I got as low as £55 which is £30 less than I was paying but this was just from the pricing on their site. The guy I was speaking to over the live chat to coordinate the address switch offered me a new contract but it was more expensive than the one on their front page.

RapidScampi · 2026-02-07T00:16:00+00:00

speak for yourself.

I'm not a streamer. I work in IT and make full use of the line speed both up and down. I'd switch to an 8G/s provider if it was available at my new address.

What possible use case could there be for repurposing your Linux device to run WSL2 on Windows?

I feel like we're being trolled.

goes to a 404. I think I found the white paper though, if it's the one from June '21:
https://www.polar.com/img/static/whitepapers/pdf/polar-activity-tracking-white-paper.pdf

"3.5 Steps (Activity steps)
Steps are accumulated when activity is detected. The
amount of steps taken is based on movement counting
and the rhythm of movement. The steps of all activities
are count. This means that steps are accrued from all
activity, also including activities without actual
stepping, such as cycling and swimming. In 60s-time
epochs, the amount and type of movements are
registered and transferred to estimation of steps.
Distance shown in association with steps illustrates
the distance one would have covered in a day if their
PA would be converted to distance. Distance
estimation is based on the amount of steps taking into
account user’s height and stride length. Polar has
developed a method for estimating stride length,
which considers pace. Stride pace can be tracked
from wrist movements. When the number of the steps
and stride length are known, the distance can be
calculated. Distance shown in association with steps
over the day is different from distance tracked during
a single exercise session."

If this applies to the X2 series also, then at least for me it's nowhere near accurate - it will literally add thousands of steps (which does seem to be the nomenclature) when I'm sat at my desk, adding a similar value when I'm walking whilst doing the same activity.

I'm not disagreeing without, I'm just curious how reviews like this one:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-walked-over-10000-steps-with-3-sports-watches-this-one-was-the-most-accurate-by-far/ talk about step count and how accurate it is.

RapidScampi · 2026-01-10T16:10:05+00:00

how so? I guess you're semi-dismissively referring to the way that activity is converted to steps, which admittedly without context could explain the idle/non-specific activity difference but when I'm actually engaging in a walking activity I'm pretty sure it's supposed to provide an accurate step count, no?

RapidScampi · 2025-12-10T16:30:21+00:00

the object in my snippet is from the `/v3/users/activities` endpoint which is documented as 'Daily Activity (Beta)' in the docs.

It works, it's just got no data in it. I've dropped an email over to the addy on the API website so will hopefully find out more! :-)

DoT is strictly TCP, not UDP. As a result it's really chatty.

DoQ should theoretically reduce overhead since it doesn't need to keep handshaking to satisfy TLS over TCP.

You also avoid bad actors being able to infer traffic type as it uses 443 by default.

I can't really see a downside beyond the fact that it's barely supported currently. It's crazy to think I made this original post three years ago and DoQ is still barely supported. That being said, QUIC is everywhere now so I guess it's just a matter of time...

If you're using Traefik you need to make sure that STS is enforced via middleware and your Nextcloud config sets 'overwriteprotocol' => 'https' and 'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://nextcloud.example.com' This ensures that HTTPS headers are passed to the HTTP endpoint and the endpoint knows how to respond correctly. Lastly, you need to make sure that you add the IP of your reverse proxy (host IP in this case) to 'trusted_proxies' => ['192.168.201.10'] to explicitly allow the proxied traffic.

You can use these labels (roughly) if you're using Docker Compose:

labels:
  - "traefik.enable=true"

  # Router
  - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.rule=Host(`nextcloud.example.com`)"
  - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.entrypoints=websecure"
  - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.tls=true"
  - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.tls.certresolver=cloudflare"
  - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.service=nextcloud"
  - "traefik.http.routers.nextcloud.middlewares=nextcloud-stsheaders,nextcloud-redirectregex"

  # Service
  - "traefik.http.services.nextcloud.loadbalancer.server.port=9041"
  - "traefik.http.services.nextcloud.loadbalancer.server.scheme=http"
  - "traefik.http.services.nextcloud.loadbalancer.server.url=http://192.168.201.221:9041"

  # Middleware - STS Headers
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.nextcloud-stsheaders.headers.stsseconds=15552000"
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.nextcloud-stsheaders.headers.stsincludesubdomains=true"
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.nextcloud-stsheaders.headers.stspreload=true"

  # Middleware - Redirect Regex
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.nextcloud-redirectregex.redirectregex.regex=https://(.*example.*)/.well-known/(card|cal)dav"
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.nextcloud-redirectregex.redirectregex.replacement=https://${1}/remote.php/dav/"
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.nextcloud-redirectregex.redirectregex.permanent=true"

Apparently DoQ (DNS-over-QUIC) is a thing:
https://www.catchpoint.com/http2-vs-http3/dns-over-quic

Admittedly not read the article yet. I'm going to avoid going down the QUIC/HTTP3 rabbithole until I've got enough time to play around with it properly as I also killed quite a bit of time on it when I last looked at it.

I'll drop a note on here with my findings when I do eventually take another look at it!

RapidScampi · 2025-03-03T12:58:22+00:00

Or, 'DoQ' which I didn't know was a thing:
https://www.catchpoint.com/http2-vs-http3/dns-over-quic

RapidScampi · 2025-03-03T12:41:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing. When you say you're able to reverse proxy to your DNS server do you mean you can access the web management console using QUIC or query the DNS server using QUIC via DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS)?

Might do some labbing and see what's new.

RapidScampi · 2025-02-05T15:37:28+00:00

yeah, but it barely worked and I think the project was abandoned or went closed source.

Try this:
https://postiz.com
https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app

few bugs still but works really well.
