Pangolin officially says on their site :

Pangolin generally requires minimal resources to run effectively. A basic VPS with 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, and 8GB SSD is sufficient for most deployments.

If you choose a VPS with only 1GB RAM, you may need to create swap space to avoid memory pressure during installation, updates, or periods of higher traffic.

I’ve got a 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, 25GB Disk droplet for $6/mo and have no issues for my limited home use. Updates don’t really take a noticeably long time or anything, it takes maybe 45 seconds to fully bring up the docker container again after an update. But it runs just fine.

Yeah but that’s again one the many many background easter eggs that are included in episodes all the time. Like all the easter eggs that in the Master Systems Displays. Here is a collection of MSDs to peruse for some examples. Pretty sure the label for “Here be Moonshine” on the Enterprise-C, the spider and duck on the Defiant, and the duck, plane, mouse, car, etc. on the Enterprise-D aren’t canon accurate despite it technically being on-screen. There’s a whole section for in-jokes on Ex Astris Sciencia with examples.

A primary character directly mentioning something is an entirely different level of referencing other works.

Somehow everyone in this thread talking about the price on the can out of blind habit… ignoring the Circle K logo ON THE CAN.

These are obviously not the standard Arizona cans with the price printed on the label. These are made by Arizona specifically for Circle K so they can do this.

Similar here. Just a Digital Ocean droplet running Pangolin. Functions basically the same as the cloudflare tunnel it replaced.

Can expose the service directly if needed, or from behind a login page.

Let’s not forget that The Doctor is basically Trek canon thanks to Pelia’s very direct statement in SNW S04E01

"I’ve seen one [interstellar storm] once a long time ago but not from this close. I think I was in a phone box at the time.”

Small inconsequential easter eggs as nods to other properties are one thing, like R2D2 in the Kelvin movies, or even the Tardis showing on the background behind the Enterprise in the SNW S03 episode “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail". But a direct reference by a main character, during a major plot point, is a totally different level.

It’s very likely default User Agent strings pull from the system they run on.

He points out a very odd anomaly with OSX vs macOS numbers too that highlight the problem even more.

Is it an anomaly? His point is that “OS X” refers to macs pre-2016 and “macOS” as the newer devices. But that’s not accurate, at all.

OS X at 21.14%, and macOS at 8.6% . This is where I stopped reading. We’re looking at OS X, which was replaced by macOS in 2016, at 21.14%, while macOS itself sits at 8.6%.

Even if you consider OS X and macOS separate operating systems, it does not make sense for the decades-old ‘OS X’ to have more users than macOS.

Someone in another thread elsewhere said:

The OS is the same but the browsers report it differently via UA. For example, Chrome reports it as “Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7” with the usual extra compatibility shit mentioning other browsers/engines (KHTML, Gecko) while the modern Safari dropped all of that shit and reports “com.apple.WebKit.Networking/*** Network/*** macOS/15.7.8”, just tested with nginx.

I can’t confirm those results, in fact, I can’t confirm the “macOS” bit at all. On my Macbook Neo (obviously a current modern Mac, running macOS Tahoe 26.5.2), I get these results:

Librewolf: “Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:151.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/151.0”

Safari: “Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/26.5.2 Safari/605.1.15”

Notably The Macbook Neo is not an Intel Mac, and it is not running version 15.7 which was the previous version macOS Sequoia, but that is what it reports to websites. It should report as “macOS” according to that one dude, yet it doesn’t in either Librewolf or Safari (I don’t have Chrome installed, and I’m not going to just for this shit). The User Agent is actively reporting to websites that it is an older device, even in Safari which does also mention the actual current OS version at near the end.

So if they are relying solely on User Agent reporting, it’s obviously not accurate at a granular level. But at a general-OS level it could be depending on exactly how they’re handling it.

Either way, simply saying “macOS” and “OS X” reporting refers to old and new devices… is plain wrong. And if he’s wrong on such a basic assumption right at the top of his opinion piece… why would I trust any of the rest?

It’s probably not. But that requires going through the courts to have that determination made.

It’s an employee versus the power of the State. In the meantime anyone that tries to fight it, will be fired, and have to survive while fighting all of it in court.

The rich don’t stay that way by spending their money.

Possibly, but unlikely.

Singapore has a lot of very strict laws, and they apply them rigorously. Famously their drug possession laws have a ton of prison time, and often the death penalty for trafficking.

From the article, it is a very narrow but all encompassing law, originally passed in 1949 and the last update in 2021 predates the most recent conflict…

The decision is tied to Singapore’s policies on public speech, which prohibit publicly displaying foreign national emblems without a permit or exemption.

Philadelphia has to grease the light poles because Philly fans riot after basically every game, especially when they win.

You’re not wrong… But the crossover age range of the vast majority of billionaires and seniors is a damned circle, it’s both a class and age thing simultaneously. Boomers are usually defined as those born between 1946 and 1964, so that age range would be 62-80 as of 2026.

Nearly half of the 3,323 billionaires worldwide in 2023 were between 50 and 70 years old. Moreover, more than 40 percent were above 70 years, whereas around 10 percent were below 50 years.

And that ignores the much larger number of them that are under a billion but still well on their way up towards it. In practicality, there’s little difference between 100 million and a billion despite it being 90% less.

Don’t discount indirect thing like Sony announcing plans to abandon discs on the Playstation right as the Steam Machine launches with Linux and wide game compatibility via Proton. Even at its inflated price due to the Rampocalypse, it’s selling out constantly. It’s a perfect storm right now.

The stress test I did had 6 transcoding streams going on my Emby server with an Intel Arc A310, without breaking a sweat. It never has more than 3 streams going at a time in normal usage though so I stopped testing at 6.

This channel is run by a real civil engineer, he’s released some great videos about the challenges of maintaining an electric grid.

Practical Engineering is awesome. For those that don’t want to deal with YouTube, his content is available on Nebula as well.

Prop maker Sean Schofield, who has worked on productions such as The Witcher and The Rings of Power, posted on his Instagram account news of the film’s status on Thursday.

I know he isn’t the problem with those shows… But when the previous works are known by the respective fan communities as being terrible adaptations, you start to be wary.

Oh buddy… You don’t want to research about that. Something happening at a furry convention could destabilize large sections of the global IT industry.

A LOT of the developers and engineers keeping global tech infrastructure operational are furries.

Damn, none of my accounts are on the list. Even the ones banned from .ml
