refaloto Web Development•Question: Can I create a CNAME record to point a subdomain to a webpage e.g. blog.example.com -> example.com/blog?2·3 days agoThere is, just google something like “url redirection service” and you’ll find lots. Your domain/DNS provider may already offer one as well.
refaloto Web Development•Question: Can I create a CNAME record to point a subdomain to a webpage e.g. blog.example.com -> example.com/blog?5·4 days agoNot strictly within the normal way DNS works, no. A CNAME record response can only contain another domain or subdomain name. You would have to run a webserver that listens on the IP that the CNAME record eventually pointed to, in order to handle redirections to a specific URL.

refaloto Technology•Some Reddit users just love to disagree, new AI-powered troll-spotting algorithm findsEnglish2·7 days agoWhat frustrates me is that it’s almost impossible to find a platform for real-time chat for technical subjects that aren’t completely dominated with this type of person filling the logs 24/7 and just making the whole experience exhausting.
refaloto Technology•Some Reddit users just love to disagree, new AI-powered troll-spotting algorithm findsEnglish3·8 days agoI think this applies to every person on Earth. Some just want to watch the world burn, or they don’t even realize that they have no idea what they’re talking about.
Usually when I see someone with a horrible take, I check their post history and it’s nothing but the same attitude over and over. Dogmatism, egotism and otherwise straight up incompetence, Dunning-Kruger style.
I’m a huge fan of bootstrap and I feel that writing CSS from scratch is much harder.
many native elements either do not function like people want or cannot be styled the same
This is like asking for people to stop engaging in capitalism. Good luck with that.
Appreciate you adding the ability to manage STUN and especially TURN servers because this is sorely lacking in so many tools.
The unfortunate reality in my experience seems to be that a very large percentage of users are behind symmetric NAT on both ends, making TURN necessary for WebRTC to work at all.
refaloto Technology•Cash-loving Japan reluctant to switch to app-based salary paymentsEnglish2·10 days agoPayPay’s server fell victim to a hacking attack, originating in Brazil, on November 28, 2020. As per the operator of PayPay, a server containing personal and financial information of its entire userbase was compromised. The company acknowledged that configuration flaws led to unauthorized access to information. The service operator was later notified of the incident and preventive measures were taken.
Japanese consumers are historically very privacy-conscious and afraid of identity theft, so it’s no surprise to me that they don’t want to use services like this. Even credit card usage in Japan is extremely low compared to the rest of the world.
Their usual cashless payment methods like Suica/etc. are anonymous and have been in widespread use since the early 2000s, so I predict that will continue to be the preferred payment method (besides cash) for the forseeable future.
potentially escaping the notion that because Qt is C++, it is not as safe to use.
How does this even potentially escape the notion? Qt is still C++, and still unsafe, no matter what you use for the rest of your application. And the fact that Widgets is being left out in the cold doesn’t sit well with me either.
They still won’t even say what these “bridges” are, other than it “does not necessarily replace existing bindings”. Does that mean it’s still yet another binding?
What would have been really nice IMO are some plain C bindings, for both widgets and QML.
refaloto DevOps•Stategies for scaling out MySQL/MariaDB when database gets too large for a single host?2·15 days agoWell general strategies are going to depend on where the bottleneck is, so the main general strategy is simply to find the bottleneck. From there, there may be other general strategies one would use for those, but there’s so many possible starting places, it’s hard to give any specifics as they all depend on what the bottleneck actually is.
I would argue TRON OS and its variants are in more devices on the planet than Linux is.
