Yeah I'm very lost on what this is supposed to do -- "Summon your site" is quite vague. "see it live", like a demo? or is this actually published somewhere? Is it forever?

Desktop mode doesn't show any more information either

Nearly 4 years from last notification and the password is the same; either thats real incompetence, or a hilarious power move

> If anything, then the 2.5-gig port is overkill.

Or 1 gig is underkill. My original reply was just pointing out that simply adding a 2.5g switch doesn't make it a 5 port 2.5g router, it makes it a 1 gig router with 2.5 internal, at best

I had suppressed my memory of Christmas Carol 3d in theaters apparently - super jumpy, really bad ghosting, let alone the bad animation

Ok, so your wan is 1gig, and your lan 2.5...handy but not much of a perk. Lets just call this an AP, which would clear up many issues people seem to have with it

It does raise the question that if it is for developers, what exactly is being developed? Especially if its not representative of hardware that is available or desired; is there some advantage targeting a very particular chipset? This seems to be the only device using it (from what i could find briefly)

2.5 is the WAN, so your lan is only getting 1g anyway

While glasses certainly sucked (I had a Samsung) I just couldn't stand that most content was essentially a technology demonstration -- throwing objects at the viewer for the sake of it, 4th wall be damned.

The Lion King is an example of good 3d imho, because they used it to improve the storytelling and art -- like adding depth to the water reflection of Simba

I see some kind of illumination from below/behind the display. Being from Gamers Nexus, I'd be shocked if it was manipulated. Maybe just a really steep sidelite

I appreciated it for my Google Takeout download - they seemed to cap per file speed, so I could get multiple going. Getting it done quickly was important since google would force 2fa re-auth if you waited literally 30 seconds between files, ~80 4G files

Besides that, my two housemates streaming 4k while I'm downloading an iso can definitely hit the cap. The extra headroom is nice, versus just falling over

Even thats slowly being depreciated for gestures as the default option. A bunch of Google's own apps won't play nice with it anymore on the flagship Pixel, drawing buttons underneath

On mobile this surfaced as trying to download a file called "viewer", couldn't see the url. Def weird

Edit: or is that the evil grin?

Frankly it reads exactly as a pitch - who you are, why you're the best, and whats wrong with whats presented, followed by 'so use us'.

And there was no misinformation here. You even use the lack of City data in GeoLite as a negative, yet you only offer City as paid. Personally, I'm already paying a VM cost, and I can get 1uS answers hosting locally, so this is a valid solution.

Im trying to be honest with you because I found the project on reddit, where you commented, only to share it here and find the same immediate reply with no constructive input to their project. Do you offer a community or offline version of your db for local use?

Beautiful, like I needed a new crossover of hobbies; btw could this fill a 220 format frame?

You also could save a lot of weight by boring out your plywood base and still be plenty rigid

There are a few reasons one could chose to not go with saas, but this is someone's small project which was neat; and upgradable to any GeoIP db, I might add...you guys don't need to advertise yourself everytime someone shares it -- https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1oa1pdh/made_a_...

I was thinking that if you preload your 50k list and override the min-ttl, the prefetch would let you relax the cron schedule a little

Unbound has "prefetch" which will refresh near-expired cached records, and various other cache/ttl knobs. "serve-expired" seemed to work well too

Any tricks to get Claude to actually use the CLAUDE.md consistently? Many times now its completely ignored it, despite being short, concise + generated by Claude itself, and I see bug reports about this that are over a year old
