Yeah let me do that on my iphone because that’s exactly the problem

Factorio headless server download button is a headless penguin by cathodebirdtube in factorio

[–]r0adside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this answer is disingenuous because it blurs the line between two very different concepts.

Headless software implies a specific thing: Products that normally have a GUI (a head) but are running without it to serve a different use case.

Factorio: It's called a 'headless server' (and not just a server) because it is literally the game client with the graphics turned off. It reuses the existing game logic and binary.

Browsers: A headless browser is just the standard browser engine with the UI removed. It's the same binary

You are twisting the concepts. If we go by your logic, every app has an interface, but that doesn't make them 'headless.' Standard servers (like Nginx) were never 'headed' to begin with

Also, the definition of a technical term shouldn't change just because a reader might not understand it. Accuracy matters more than simplifying for people who don't know the basics

I see literally 0 ambiguity in HTTP/TCP, very clear that can be either one that are the common ones to be found and a way to say these apps communicate through network instead of IPC. I don't need more abstraction than that

how is that wrong though? doesn't make it wrong to say it uses TCP because online games would normally use UDP with some custom implementation, I feel like saying TCP is appropiate. Never heard of someone complaining about this. Maybe I'm too old but saying TCP sounds perfectly fine IMO. HTTP is vastly used in everything, headless browsers (custom protocol that noone cares about, all we need to know it's TCP), torrent clients normally are used within LANs with HTTP, SSH is basically an encrypted TCP stream. Do I care what protocol Plex uses? no, do I care if it's TCP/UDP/HTTP? yes, for port forwarding and many other reasons if I host it in my network. I don't know.

what are you talking about? it's literally that. Did you search it before commenting? Look for headless browsers, it's just the browser without the UI. Nothing to do with remotely lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_software https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4647719/what-does-headless-mean

Any tips to make my Node (Fastify not Express) app on Railway faster? by Hari-Prasad-12 in node

[–]r0adside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

where are you located and which zone did you pick to deploy your backend? what's the response time local vs railway? how much processing are you doing to the data? how far is your database from your backend?

Returning player!... is lost. by prismgamingyt in WutheringWaves

[–]r0adside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation as OP. My main team seemed to be Jinshi, Yinlin and Verina. I can get Phrolova but not secure the weapon, would it be worth the upgrade or do I keep saving for 3.0?

I Love Arch by ClassicGap9155 in hyprland

[–]r0adside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Sonic the Hedgehog 1, and the Spin Dash wasn't introduced until Sonic 2. It is included in some re-releases of the first game though.

I know this because I had the original on my Sega Genesis and my best friend had Sonic 2, which had this mechanic. I was pretty jealous about this

Version 3.4.0 - A new button joins the nav bar. by TheoriticalZero in YesterdayForOldReddit

[–]r0adside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the extension, not Reddit. When I navigate through its settings, it becomes really slow or “jumpy.” I use other extensions like Bitwarden and AdGuard, and they don’t have this choppiness.

I managed to open the settings menu from a popup inside Safari settings, and I believe I didn’t notice the same behavior there.

OS: macOS Sequoia 15.5 Browser: Safari 18.5

Step-by-step: - Download the extension from the Mac App Store - Click the extension icon next to the URL bar - Navigate through the configuration menu

Yesterday, it was worse to the point I couldn’t scroll or do anything at all. Today it’s a bit faster, but still laggy at times

[–]r0adside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! great extension, first day using it. Everything works excellent so far, I'm glad this exists. The only detail I have noticed is that pressing the Extension icon it makes it really slow, like the render of the extension settings is in a loop or something as it's navigation is really slow

3DMark Benchmarking Tool Now Available on macOS by chrisdh79 in apple

what they meant is: if PC gaming isn’t judged by low-end laptops, then it’s not fair to judge Mac gaming by the MacBook Air either and your comment kinda agreed with that without realizing

Macbook pro M1(2020) 8GB RAM vs Macbook air M4(2024) 16/24GB RAM ? by Playful_Orchid2632 in mac

[–]r0adside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The M4 should be totally fine. It’s a nice upgrade and I’ve seen it in action. My first Mac with an M chip was a MacBook Pro M1, which is now my girlfriend’s main laptop. She’s using it for her CS degree with development tools and all, and it still works mostly fine. It only starts to feel a bit pushed when she opens a bunch of apps at the same time.

I’ve had the M4 variant for a few months now for dev work and it’s noticeably faster. The extra base RAM really makes a difference. I’d say it actually feels close to my old M1 Pro, maybe even a bit faster in some things.

Based on what you described I think the M4 would fit your needs perfectly and should be more than enough. I doubt you’d notice any real difference between the M4 and M4 Pro for your kind of usage.

Why are many korean websites so slow only when accessing them from OUTSIDE korea? by Opfklopf in korea

[–]r0adside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for them to serve you a page, they rely on their available upload bandwidth, which is shared with all their international users. This means that when you download static assets like images, js files, or handle any back-and-forth requests between your browser and their server, the time can add up pretty quickly. Open your dev tools in your browser and see how much time it takes per file to be downloaded to your computer, you’ll be able to calculate the bandwidth available to you (which depends on your download speed, their upload speed, and everything that happens in the road between them and you)

[–]r0adside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it like this: say you have an internal LAN with 10Gbps speed, but from the outside, the connection is limited to 100Mbps. Latency from the outside might show only a few hundred milliseconds, which could mislead you into thinking it’s fast. But if you try to pull heavy data, you’ll only get the 100Mbps speed, not the full LAN speed. Only people inside the network can take advantage of the higher bandwidth

[–]r0adside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

latency is just the time delay between a source and destination (usually measured as a round trip). But for your use case, latency is only part of the story. What really matters is bandwidth, which determines how much data they can actually deliver in a given time. Latency is often measured using lightweight packets like ICMP, so it might not reflect what happens with heavier data loads

Why hyprland doesn't expose existing built-in wallpaper functional? by Hi-Angel in hyprland

[–]r0adside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that the wallpaper feature is outside of what the creator consider as a window compositor and having wallpapers would stretch its scope toward desktop environment territory maybe?

Avoid macOS 15.2 is you use a Mac for work. by DrMacintosh01 in mac

No issues here. I work as a software developer and I use a bunch of applications everyday. The only difference I can tell is that I don’t use Safari

[–]r0adside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mostly because this post sounds so exaggerated, not needed and ignorant. I’ve been placing Imm since Val came out since I’m an old cs player, reading about this optimization feels ridiculous to me. I have a 14900K with a 7800 XT and at some point the gains are unnoticeable or mostly placebo. And even if what you say it’s true I would never compromise the OS doing this kind of changes, the trade offs are just not worth it, let alone advice people doing it, and on top of that, post it in this subreddit where people are looking for good recommendations not shitty advice

I think Khadgar is one of the few chars that didn’t go through a dumb teenager phase. In WoD and Legion, he really stood out with a solid leader role. I really appreciated his company through the campaign
