TLS termination is neither required nor enabled by default, right?

Has all to do with solar flare energy levels and how/where it interacts in the atmosphere. [1][2]

This is one of the core usecases of cloudflared (https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared)! Without having a static IP address or dynamic DNS, you can establish a connection between your machine in a private network with Cloudflare. And once a resource is on the Cloudflare network, you can pretty much do anything with it, including routing your visitors to that server and using the full Cloudflare stack including its CDN, firewalls, and Anti-Bot protections.

What does Gandi provide wrt DNS that is worth a premium? What do they offer that at-cost domain registrations & free DNS management from Cloudflare do not?

In regards to your last question, it’s “an LLM”.
The distinction between using “a” vs “an” is one based on the immediately proceeding syllable sound rather than the letter. If it’s proceeded by a vowel, then use “an”, and if it’s proceeded by a consonant, use “a”.
Because “LLM” is pronounced “el el em”, the first syllable sound is “eh”—a vowel.
The same letter may need different “a”/“an” article based on how the word is pronounced. For example “an LLM” vs “a layer”.
See this for someone smarter than me explain it: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/is-it-a-or-an

The parent comment referred to "keyframes" instead of just "frames". Keyframes—unlike normal frames—encode the full image. That is done in case the "delta" you mentioned could be dropped in a stream ending up with strange artifacts in the resulting video output. Keyframes are where the codec gets to press "reset".

Along with the other commenters, I'd be interested to know what you used. When I built my home, I took hundreds of photos of all wall and ceiling surfaces. I then later annotated those photo file names to the right places on the blueprint/schematics. Now I look up the photo file name from the schematic and pull up the right photo.
I would love to be able to just "walk through" and look around in 3D my house before the insulation & drywall went up. I wouldn't want to pay for those 3D house tours that realtors are using now if I built another house and wanted to do something similar.

If you primarily listen to classical music, Apple's new Classical Music app (part of its Music subscription) is *fantastic*.

I use three-finger drag on Mac (with a magic trackpad) and find that better than any combination of click & drag. Have you tried it?

Not publicly that I have seen, but I can assure you networking and cybersecurity companies (and others) saw this pretty quickly when the bug was first released. I was just glad to see a relatively big company calling out this rather egregious issue.

I'm glad Mullvad is raising the public temperature on this! This one has definitely been noticed and been very concerning.

It's weird how much I've come to like this font. And like @tentacleuno, I use it pretty much anywhere and everywhere I can get away using it.

This might come off as quirky or weird but one of the things I miss the most about "iCal" (Calendar.app in macOS) is the infinite scroll (year, month, and week views). Fastmail's calendar has the infinite scroll on the month view, but not any other views.
I usually hate "infinite scroll" on say a timeline feed, but for calendar, it is exactly what I need as I very often move between months when I'm looking at my calendar.
Is there an extension in Firefox that'll bring the infinite scroll to calendar? Anything on the roadmap officially for that UX?

My absolute favorite is KNOW -- the news channel of the Minnesota Public Radio network. I think it's just about as perfect as you can get for a news channel.
