unixfox··on OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent
I guess you could look into my plugin for that use case of CC inside opencode: https://github.com/unixfox/opencode-claude-code-plugin
unixfox··on Cloudflare was down
Tailscale's control plane uses Cloudflare.
unixfox··on Uncloud - Tool for deploying containerised apps across servers without k8s
Awesome tool! Does it provide some basic features that you would get from running a control plane.

Like rescheduling automatically a container on another server if a server is down? Deploying on the less filled server first if you have set limits in your containers?

unixfox··on Unlocking free WiFi on British Airways
Almost impossible task. The public IPs change every time. Usually they are on CDN that have a very large IP range.

And if they allow large IP ranges, one could try to spin up a virtual machine on the same cloud provider as the messaging platform.

unixfox··on Fighting Email Spam on Your Mail Server with LLMs – Privately
Give your opinion, what you think about the post. If this could be useful for those of you that self-host mail servers.

Thanks

Is it possible to have the source code? I see that there is a github icon at the bottom of the page but it doesn't work.

unixfox··on Show HN: Ten years of running every day, visualized
How do you manage to always find the free time for run even though the conditions doesn't allow it? Like for example if you take a flight of 16 hours.

Yes found one: https://altcha.org/captcha/

You could do that with browser-use: https://browser-use.com/

The extension enable debugging in your browser (a banner appears telling you about automation). It's possible to detect that in JavaScript.

Hence why projects like this exist: https://github.com/Kaliiiiiiiiii-Vinyzu/patchright. They hide the debugging part from JavaScript.

unixfox··on An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server
No IPv6 though. Which is real deal breaker: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/46
unixfox··on YouTube DRM added on ALL videos with TV (TVHTML5) clients
For now, it only concerns the YouTube app for TV.
unixfox··on YouTube DRM added on ALL videos with TV (TVHTML5) clients
Has always been a cat and mouse game for more than 6 years. There will always be a way as long as google doesn't implement something like "device integrity" in order to watch youtube videos.
unixfox··on Ask HN: Tool show your appreciation to an open source project with just text
Yeah but it's hard to find such specific stuff on social media.

This tool is like a guest book that people can write when they leave the guest house. These messages can be read by new guest and give inspiration or joy.

But maybe it doesn't exist and I should create it.

They can't tell it because that would make the life easier to spammers.

Or cities in wallonia too. Like louvain-la-neuve or wavre.

Piped also require JavaScript.
unixfox··on Invidious – An open source alternative front-end to YouTube
You can try, invidious support old devices.

There is an helm chart: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/tree/master/kubernetes

You mean when compiling? It's normal.

There are recommendations about the memory needed for compiling.

If you do not have enough RAM just use the docker image which is already precompiled.

unixfox··on Invidious – An open source alternative front-end to YouTube
Because bandwidth is not cheap and there are better tools for downloading.

Either youtube-dl or newpipe.

Not true, please consult the documentation: https://docs.invidious.io/faq/#table-of-contents
unixfox··on Searx is no longer maintained
Maybe I'm biased because I'm a SearXNG maintainer, but I don't fully agree with the comparison done by SearX team.

Not reporting the problems in the engines do not benefit to the users, if nothing works why use SearX in the first place then? I would even say it's a major advantage to have the ability to quickly and easily report the issue, this way the users are all getting quick fixes as soon as something break. We rely on unstable API or ways to extract the results from the engines, it doesn't make any sense to not have a system that allow to report the instabilities.

It is true that SearXNG code base change a lot faster than SearX one when it was still actively maintained, but that's because our users want to see the software evolve to new needs, and like I said above relying on unstable ways to extract the data require us to improve the software so that it still works with the engines we rely on. A major feature we added is the new anti bot available on the public instances, it allows having public instances that work with almost all the engines instead of getting errors all over the place because bots were abusing the instance.
