The underlying software is free and open-source: https://github.com/nikopueringer/CorridorKey2.0

The commercial package primarily consists of commercially supported plugins.

david_van_loonon Backrest – a web UI and orchestrator for restic backup

Backrest has been working well for my use-case. I appreciate having a UI to manage backup configuration (exclusions, etc.), and the command hooks have been useful when combined with Uptime Kuma to let me know if a backup fails or is otherwise missed.

david_van_loonon Show HN: I built an interactive HN Simulator

It's uncanny. Nice work capturing so much of the attitude and conversation style, amped up just a little for effect.

david_van_loonon Gmail AI gets more intrusive

I've seen no indications of this supposed feature in my own experience or other sources. The article does not provide any evidence to support its claims.

david_van_loonon Tailscale Services

I'm happy to see this feature added. It's a feature that I didn't quite realize I was missing, but now that I see it described, I can understand exactly how I'll put it to use. Great work as always by the Tailscale team.

david_van_loonon Tailscale Services

I've found that using Tailscale on my Android phone became worlds more reliable (as far as the issues you've described) once I stopped using a custom DNS resolver on my Tailnet.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

Update: my appeal of the false positive has been accepted by Google and my domain is now unblocked.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

Thank you for the "welcome message" suggestion! I'll implement that in the hope it may help in the future.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

I have my own domain, and Immich is hosted on an "immich" subdomain.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

Immich is a great software package, and I recommend it. Sadly, Google can still flag sites based on domain name patterns, blocking content behind auth or even on your LAN.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

Indeed. Thankfully, this isn't the first time Google has caused an issue like this, so I'm familiar with the appeal process.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

The subdomain is "immich", which has crossed my mind as a potential flagging characteristic.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

Yes, it's on the "immich" subdomain. This has crossed my mind as a potential triggering cause, as has the default login page.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

Since other browsers, like Firefox, also use the Google Safe Browsing list, they are affected as well.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

Yes, my own domain.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

The issue isn't the user-hosted content - I'm running a release build of Immich on my own server and Google flagged my entire domain.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

I'm in a similar boat. Google's false flag is causing issues for my family members who use Chrome, even for internal services that aren't publicly exposed, just because they're on related subdomains.

It's scary how much control Google has over which content people can access on the web - or even on their local network!

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

Yes, my family Immich instance is blocked from indexing both via headers and robots.txt, yet it's still flagged by Google as dangerous.

david_van_loonon Google flags Immich sites as dangerous

I'm fighting this right now on my own domain. Google marked my family Immich instance as dangerous, essentially blocking access from Chrome to all services hosted on the same domain.

I know that I can bypass the warning, but the photo album I sent to my mother-in-law is now effectively inaccessible.

david_van_loonon WireGuard topologies for self-hosting at home

In my opinion Tailscale is the realistic option for most people. The author is familiar with Tailscale having worked with it previously, but my interpretation is that he wanted to get more familiar with the underlying Wireguard technology.

david_van_loonon Anti-abortion group's studies retracted before Supreme Court mifepristone case

It's interesting how confirmation bias can lead to a case based on a faulty premise. The objection always seemed like a long shot. I wonder if additional research will find anything of interest. Of course, the suggestion that the drug is "safe" is not at all accurate, since it is intended to be deadly to the child.

david_van_loonon Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android

Great work, this looks very cool and seems to work well. I hope one day to see a local backup option, as it's important to me that my chats are not lost.

david_van_loonon Samsung Remote Test Lab: Run Emulated Samsung Phones from the Browser

It is actually a remote connection to a real phone, so since the resources are quite finite, requiring a second factor makes a bit more sense.

david_van_loonon We need scientific dissidents

It is also a Cloudflare loop for me. I stopped attempting to exit the loop for fear of getting blocked.

david_van_loonon Notes on Vision Pro

Index finger, wrist, and head are supported as alternate pointers.

david_van_loonon Notes on Vision Pro

His comments on anchoring virtual tools in physical space reminds me of the work Microsoft was doing with Hololens and Windows Mixed Reality. If I recall correctly, there were APIs for anchoring things in space.

Isn't Firefox on Android using the Chromium engine?
