I like it :) Can you provide a link to the sensors you used?

You‘re supposed to host this yourself.

Set the DNS cache time to 60 seconds.

Set the script to run on every host delayed by some time to avoid simultaneously accessing the API (e.g. run the script every other minute).

With this approach, you get automatic failover in at most 3 minutes.

I’d host it on both webservers. The script sets the A record to all the servers that are online. Obviously, the script als has to check it’s own service.

It seems a little hacky though, for a business use case I would use another approach.

If it’s a civil and interesting discussion, why not?

OP said that they have a static website, this eliminates the need for session sync.

Your challenge is that you need a loadbalancer. By hosting the loadbalancer yourself (e.g. on a VPS), you could also host your websites directly there…

My approach would be DNS-based. You can have multiple DNS A records, and the client picks one of them. With a little script you could remove one of the A Records of that server goes down. This way, you wouldn’t need a central hardware.

Looks like a small release, but has some IMO pretty interesting changes, like

Allow users to view their own removed/deleted communities

and

Add backend check to enforce hierarchy of admins and mods

This kind of spam is luckily pretty rare in europe, I get maybe one or two spam calls a year.

There is an interesting Tom Scott video about this area.

True. I really wonder why they’re not tackling the issue more. It seems that there are several different areas to adress, from farming to industry to vehicles.

The “more toxic than ever” part seems to be based on subjective opinions, not on data.

No cure has been found yet for factorio.

I’ve started Cyberpunk 2077 recently. Runs pretty flawlessly now with patch 2.x, I’m glad that I waited a few years

The article says that the influence on battery usage is low. But the higher resolution might result in a higher power draw.

No USB power plug operates at 5 V when providing 65 Watts. That would be 13 Amps. Both power plugs most likey use 15 or 20 volts internally. 19 volts is not allowed over USB.

Edit: Here is a short summary of the USB-PD spec from Wikipedia

Fleet is an open source device management software. Calling it literal malware seems odd to me.

How would you manage hundeds or thousands of devices without Intune, SCCM, Ivanti, Ansible or whatever tool your org uses?

I would be more worried if the company had no means of controlling their devices, keeping them updated, secure and compliant.

When it comes to protect the rights of thw users, there are typically laws in place (at least where I live).

You can trim it even further:

For a start, try hosting something in your own home. A raspberry or an older PC or laptop should be enough.

My first projects were a print server (so I can print via wifi) and a file server. Try to find something that is useful for you.

Only start hosting on the internet when you’ve learned the basics and have more experience.

Maybe do a trace with wireshark and compare the connection attempts?

Most website blocks are done on a dns level, maybe vivaldi doesn’t accept the “wrong” dns replies, uses DNS-over-HTTPS or doesn’t query any affected dns servers.
