Unattended import would be downright impossible, as most financial institutions require 2FA (usually SMS, gross) to login. Plaid is often given the privilege to bypass this, either through special APIs or through very long lived session tokens.

The NexDock came with an HDMI (output) to mini-HDMI (input) cable, and a USB-B to USB-C cable (for mouse/keyboard), which is all you need to connect to anything modern. I bought an $8 VGA to HDMI adapter for use with my older enterprise equipment without HDMI. I just keep all of them next to my rack, and connect the HDMI and USB as needed. The NexDock has a basic OSD that let's you switch between USB-C or HDMI video inputs.

I already owned a NexDock so this is just what I've stuck with. These days I'd probably recommend a PiKVM with a networked KVM switch, if you have like 4+ physical servers it can be cheaper + give networked access. With added complexity and failure points.

I've been bothering them about this since Steam Deck first launched, if it could actually pass thru full USB-C PD it would be insanely useful. Portable gaming device that can be converted into a fully functional laptop easily (with a second screen!) is a long time dream of mine. But it can't do the ~40w charging the Deck needs. Also the touchpad is complete garbage as it was designed for use with phones.

Sadly, NexDock doesn't design their own products and has little influence over engineering decisions of their partners. They're just slapping their logo on it and reselling it. There's a dozen other brands selling the exact same product on Alibaba/Taobao.

These make great KVMs for homelab solutions. You'll need a VGA to HDMI adapter, but I am very thankful I no longer have to lug a monitor/keyboard/mouse into my closet when a server without IPMI won't boot.

Still have my DSTWO. Heat was an annoying issue too. But for the longest time it was the only way to play SNES/GBA even on the 3DS.

Gonna go out on a limb and agree with the archive.is owner -- the reason he blocks it is bc cloudflare intentionally doesn't support edns client subnet. They cite privacy reasons, but it comes at the at the cost of performance -- most cdns use DNS based routing, so using cloudflare DNS means you connect to random server for a lot of websites. CloudFlare on the other hand uses anycast routing for their CDN, so they don't suffer at all.

I hate Google but my pihole is configured to use their DNS resolvers. Lesser of two evils.

Works for me. Do note that archive.is blocks CloudFlare DNS.

The site is down so I can't read the full post, but going off of what's been said in this thread, I generally agree w you. This doesn't stop your casual Plex user from using OpenSubtitles. Viewers all download their subtitles from their own IP, and can authenticate/pay if they want more. It does punish pirate streaming websites from taking thousands of subtitles per day while illegally publishing content.

It's because the cup is insulated to hold in boiling water long enough to properly cook the noodles. The "cover" instruction is again to retain heat. It's probably? microwave safe if you completely remove the cover. But college dorm rooms don't allow microwaves, they do allow electric kettles.

My memory may be rusty, but iirc he already gave away the uBlock project (sold?) once. The new maintainer immediately started pulling shady moves so gorhill forked uBlock into uBlock Origin and has maintained it to this date (7+ years).

Sadly not the case, as much as I love ASL the scene has zero new blood. SC2 really killed the Brood War scene, and League of Legends really killed SC2. The days of packing an aircraft hanger with 30,000+ fans for OSL finals are long gone.

I was invited to the Stormgate alpha, and while I can't say anything about it (NDA), I am hopeful it will bring new life into RTS esports.

I miss the days when computing was focused on trying to protect the user from developers. These days it's more and more protecting the developer from the users.
