Privacy@lemmy.ml•Question for those knowledgeable about alternative web protocols (gopher, gemini, etc): Would it be possible to create a tool that translates http sites to those formats, on demand?
171·1 year agoThe simple answer is yes.
It’s possible to encode or tunnel anything over any protocol.The next question is why isn’t it done more?
- http has basically become the defacto internet protocol for all media content. This has resulted in a lot of other protocols from becoming blocked due lack of support or due to firewall rules.
- efficiency. http (and all the other protocols it runs atop) have become highly optimized for doing what it does. To layer something like http over another protocol, would certainly be possible but it would likely be slower, less responsive and lack a lot of the niceties that make http work as well as it does.
For the above reasons it’s actually more common to see other protocols run on top of http. This is especially common to prevent blocking and censorship by making the traffic look like normal http traffic when it may actually be private messaging apps, file transfers, VPN, etc.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Klingons make fantastic allies
19·1 year agoOh wow. You have so much more wonderful DS9 ahead of you still!
I think we’re saying the same thing?
You have your end grain slab laid on a table in front of you. From left to right divide cut it into parallel pieces (width of these is up to you 2" or 3" is probably fine). With them all laid on the table on their original pattern, rotate or flip alternating slices. Glue it up.
The bigger the wood the more movement it will have. End grain boards like you describe often have their pieces oriented in opposing directions to manage the warping due to expansion and contraction. Plus the more pieces the more glue jointing holding it together.
To provide more stability, you could cut a series of slices and flip every other one such that the curve of the grain is alternating.

Also, I lied about being American and participated in this thread anyways.

When I discovered the truth, I learned an important lesson about betrayal.
The addAddress call may just be configuring the local side of the VPN. It’s hard to know without looking at the rest of the code.
The general workflow when establishing a VPN connection is:- open a socket to the destination VPN service (ProtonVPN, or whatever suspect service).
- configure parameters such as DNS, split tunneling, and which networks to route over the VPN (generally everything from your local system, except the VPN connection itself).
- update the local routing so traffic starts flowing over the VPN.
addAddress may just be part of the configuration. A very cursory search suggests that OpenVPN may be being used as the underlying VPN implementation framework (not uncommon).

Woodworking@lemmy.ca•How to best oil wooden cutlery and kitchen tools?
9·2 years ago5:1 (mineral oil:wax) To add to the above comment, this is effectively what’s sold as “cutting board wax/oil”.
Paraffin, soy or bees wax would all be fine. In my experience buying bees wax flakes is the cheapest way to get bees wax, it’s often sold for use in cosmetics.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Good recommendations for documentaries that can be watched on YouTube?

Aaron created RSS, and was an early developer of Reddit. A visionary of accessible information and information technology.
Since his death, the direction the internet has gone has been in ways that he would very much be taking issue with.
You are correct, I had not noticed they did away with that icon until you mentioned it now.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People of Lemmy, I dare you to name ONE billionaire that's done anything good.
9·2 years agoThere’s nothing that indicates he was coerced.
My point is that people portray a father taking a 4 year old to his death. I’m just pointing out that he wasn’t a child but an adult who chose to go on the trip.
