Does this... help with chess?

I think that might have been the joke.

you can see the possible moves they're thinking of making

You can look into their minds? Don't think drawing arrows is a thing on the air line chess apps.

Super fun

Can you share more on this?

Yes, but this feels like the modern equivalent of wearing a tin foil hat :/

more like the equivalent of wearing a bullet proof vest

Same - and even replacing those that have left is a fight right now.

> Adding another device just requires adding a peer in the server's config file and can be accomplished very quickly

Do you need a client to be running on each device?

Even regardless "I just need to edit a config file real quick" is... Way more work than I want to do. Works for someone on hn but I'm imagining trying to show my dad how to do that.

That's the benefit of a travel router.

AWS Certificate Manager manages this all for you via DNS validation.

Granted, you're locked into their ecosystem, can't export PK, etc. so it's FAR from a perfect solution here but I've actually been pretty impressed with the product from a "I need to run my personal website and don't want to have to care about certificates" perspective. Granted, you're paying for the cert, just not directly.

I agree with your statement completely though.

How much does that end up costing? I'm interested to know for my own personal domain.

It works pretty well for me, but doesn't do nearly what I'd expect.

EG I can talk to it like I would chatgpt and it works well. But I can't be like "hey I want to get dinner with my wife on our anniversary, please book the best available option in my city for fine dining"

It's still way better than Siri, which feels like a voice CLI to me (same as Alexa, which is very low quality IME)

I don’t think I’d want to talk to a voice assistant like that. Maybe it’s a generational thing? Things like that are ambiguous enough discussing them with human beings and a big part of things like voice assistants is understanding how it’s going to interpret and execute a response based on what I say to it.

Yeah. Just like we do for smoking. I don't think I get your point. Are you agreeing with the prior commenter?

That sounds like a pain in the ass though. Explaining to my dad how to use Downloader on a FireTV is a lot easier than "hey dude buy a raspberry pi"

If there's a demand, someone will sell them ready to use, with preloaded microSD card, case, and cables.

There are a lot of Chinese devices out there with official android TV that do what firestick does and better with less ads and maybe even less tracking. People wanting to pirate will move to those. Raspberry pi is not cheap or the solution I agree.

I mean even among android tv sticks alone there are plenty of no name chinese options out there, these things are dirt cheap to make and are basically commodities.

any you would recommend that would compete with a fire-stick 4k Max level of hardware? and is open software, but that would also allow the installation of other media apps, like netflix, HBO max, etc?

Xiaomi has a really good one I've been using for years at this point. The 4K one. I'm sure there are more reputable chinese brands with alternatives as well!

I’m not in this market I have a plex server so idk.

My guess is that PT was chosen to highlight the fact that this happened in the middle of the night for most of the responding ops folks.

(I don't know anything here, just spitballing why that choice would be made)

Their headquarters is in Seattle (Pacific Time.) But yeah, I hate time zones.
