Yep, documentation and a good base level default installation configuration/guide with minimal friction.

I’m perfectly willing to play around once I know at the basic level that the core flow is going to work for me. If it takes me digging through a stack of documentation (especially if it’s bad) to even get something to experiment with on my own system? I won’t bother.

I never once got a useful result from their search. It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

To be fair there’s no possible way they could downgrade from the old version.

Yes, it is?

Your rant doesn’t make sense. Asking for suggestions because you’re not OK with being spied on (especially when you’re perfectly willing to absorb the hosting costs yourself or pay for a service that isn’t hostile) is perfectly valid behavior.

You can’t.

Age verification is not compatible with any remotely acceptable version of the internet. It’s an obscene privacy violation in all cases by definition.

Any implementation short of a webcam watching you while you use the site is less than trivial to bypass with someone else’s ID while opening numerous massive tracking/security holes for no reason.

I could get the “default” to facilitate setup, but as far as I’m concerned it’s seriously fucked not to have the first step of your script be replacing it with the user’s own choices. It’s really hard for me to trust the security as a whole of a project that does that by default, especially because it’s intended to be for inexperienced users and there was no indication during the setup process or other included information that that was the case.

Serious question: last I looked at casaOS (because I liked the hardware), they had SSH open and accessible to default passwords by default. This scared me off hard.

Is this still a thing/are there other glaring security holes?

Laptop means an emissive display, which generally results in excessive brightness in lower light scenarios and inadequate contrast in very bright ones, because it needs to power through the ambient light. Epaper is way easier to read because it inherently matches the lighting of your environment (or you can use a front light to boost it slightly in the dark) by being reflective instead. There are interesting efforts at reflective LCD screens, but they’re even more expensive and limited to monitors and TVs for the most part. For text based content, eink and other epaper devices read like actual paper, and you can’t match that with other display tech currently. The display is most of the cost of those devices, though, because they’re still pretty low volume and hard to manufacture.

I’m not sure the distinction you’re making with “big phone”. The bigger ones support pens for you to write on them, and it feels similar to using my iPad to read, just without animations and with a more paper like display that doesn’t get blown out in the sun. (The current version would be the tab x, just to clarify.) I think Apple’s tablet experience is a lot better than android’s, and there are a bunch of apps that I like that aren’t on Android, but I wouldn’t say it doesn’t feel like a tablet.

There’s a 13.3" boox that’s pretty decent. I have the older max 3, and I’m waiting for them to get a color version that size to replace it.

The hard math is figuring out the path (because small imprecision in the guessed location of the object over time can pretty easily cause meaningful errors.) If you control the engine and know the real vectors, projecting their path out isn’t super complicated.

But I’m all for the idea that knowing a variety of math allows you to solve a lot more problems.

Just FYI, this is only the additional “live books” thing.

The actual books are all there as normal downloads.

You shouldn’t be taking ownership of files and then deleting them without communication a hell of a lot better than that.

I understand what happened. I’m saying that if you’re going to delete stuff that was there before the software was, your flow to adding a project should include suggesting a base level commit of everything that’s there already.

I wouldn’t assume “discard changes” means “delete files that existed before the editor did”.

He wants all of his books in one index.

Can you lock it so only you can upload?

It sounds like a useful way to share stuff with friends, but not if any random person can upload stuff.

This is stupid as hell.

As much as I don’t like framework spam, especially when a lot of them are bloated and insecure or need bloated and insecure plugins/extentsions/whatever to do basic things, I have less desire than that to go to C.

You can run Python reasonably well with pythonista or Pyto (I like pythonista, but Pyto supports some PyPI libraries). Apple’s Swift playgrounds is pretty decent for Swift. They’re all only up to a point, but you can do plenty of actually interesting stuff with them. I use them on my current iPad (and run the Python scripts on my phone).

But 4th gen is old, so it’s quite possible none of that works. Maybe web stuff with something like Textastic if you pay for shared hosting somewhere, or a low end VPS isn’t crazy expensive and lets you run code. If it’s consistent power that’s your concern, raspberry pis can be paired with one of those portable USB batteries if it can be charged and send charge at the same time.

If those options are still too expensive, really no clue. It’s hard with no money at all.

Old works lol.

You should be able to set it up, which seems to be the crux of your question.

The reason for the conflict is likely that the traffic is encrypted through the tunnel, but cloudflare holds the certificates needed to verify the identity of your site and can see all the traffic.

But tunnels are done by having your server initiate the connection with cloudflare, so it behaves like a client in terms of networking, and it should work in most cases.

(Worth noting that video was against their policies for using at least the free tunnels last I was aware, so if that’s part of your use case you might not be able to use it.)
