Ebay

I imagine their source code is such an unmaintainable mess that it’s impossible to modernize

Can’t speak for OP but I was also attempting this and couldn’t get it working. My use case is that CF tunnels make multiple of my self hosted services available on the Internet via HTTPS and without directly exposing my home IP.

It does however mean that even when I use a service on my home network, everything is being proxied through CF which makes things much slower than they need to be 90% of the time. So my idea is to use caddy in parallel to CF and have a local DNS server point to my homelab, thereby circumventing the proxy whenever I’m on my home network.

But like I said I could not get this working just yet.

Sort of. Google and Microsoft really weren’t on good terms back then (relatively speaking). Both were competing for the mobile OS market, and Microsoft ran this whole „Don’t get Scroogled“ campaign to demote Android.

Naturally, Google did not offer any of their apps for Windows phone - i.e. no Google maps or YouTube. Microsoft then made their own YouTube client for windows phone which was an okay app. However Google wasn’t happy with this and had them take down the app and replace it with their own version instead.

The problem is that Google’s YouTube app for windows phone was so embarrassingly bad that after countless 1-star reviews they decided to pull the app from the windows phone store, effectively leaving the platform with no YouTube app at all. There was at least one third party client which was decent, but there was never another official one after that IIRC.

I was actually using my own user account instead of root, but now that you mention it… I’m not sure how that would even work so yeah that makes sense.

I did rebuild the initramfs after every change but did not manually copy the key file anywhere other than etc.

Will check out the link tomorrow. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Edit: tried again with root and it worked flawlessly :D

As mentioned in another comment I haven’t quite gotten it working but it should be possible to do this via SSH

I‘m in the process of setting up a new NAS with Debian and disk encryption, and this is exactly what I’m struggling with. I’ve tried multiple guides for Dropbear but every time I try to SSH into the server to unlock it, I get “Permission denied”.

Literally everyone I know uses WhatsApp. It’s probably been over a decade since I last sent or received an actual SMS (except for 2FA codes).

It’s on my todo list I swear

I remember trying this as well but it didn’t help, and the problem also exists on Linux

Sure, please check the other reply in this comment thread

Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem. On the left is Firefox and on the right Thorium (Chromium). I’ve had this problem on Windows before but now I’m using Linux and it’s the same unfortunately.

Because bold fonts look weird in Firefox and I have not found a way to change that

I have both the Duo 1 and Duo 2. It is definitely a love / hate relationship.

The quality of the hardware is really good. But software has been disappointing since launch. While a lot of the bugs have been fixed, you kinda need to use Microsoft Launcher on this device. And in typical Microsoft fashion, it is worse on their own hardware than on any other phone. You cannot backup and restore your launcher configuration, cannot change the grid sizes, cannot change icons, etc.

Apps do generally work fine because unlike the Z Fold and Pixel Fold, they open on only one screen by default. You have to manually span them across both screens if you want, but very few apps are actually aware of there being a gap between the screens.

I don’t remember who, but someone described this device perfectly imo: Surface Duo is the most amazing piece of tech that I ever owned, but it is also the worst phone that I ever owned.

Well, if you visit Youtube to watch a video, it will serve both the video and the ads from the same website. Ads are not necessarily being loaded from another website. If they were, we could just DNS-block YouTube ads, and they would be gone in your entire home network, for instance.

Have you tried to start it from the terminal? Maybe there is some insight into which part of the startup process is taking so much time
