I think the web with all its shortcomings is the best thing to happen to tech industry and I want it to succeed. That does NOT mean it should be used for everything.
They sometimes do braindead moves like prohibiting no-expiry-date access tokens but otherwise it's pretty smooth sailing.
And with recent migration to an SPA GitLab feels quicker and quicker.
But instead we go with multiple moving parts all configured independently? CoreOS, Terraform and a dependence on Vultr thing. Lol.
Never in a million years I would think it's a good idea to disable SSH access. Like why? Keys and non-standard port already bring China login attempts to like 0 a year.
Better question is 'does it have any actual improvements in day-to-day operations'? Because it seems like it mostly changes up some ciphering which is already very fast.
Why does it have to be cheap? What if I want a killer panel without all the bs?

There is a missing piece for me here. A magic 'send my PC browser tab to this other PC connected to the TV' button. Not sure if something like this exists. It would be ideal to send all the browser context with cookies etc so that you are logged in too and can just start playing whatever you found on PC.
Any for of cast is not an option, rendering has to happen on the TV PC box.
all my services are always exposed for convenience but never on a standard port (except http)
I've never tested it without contacts permissions though.
But surely one can see how adding more idiotic rules and roadblocks for them just might make staying a more attractive option :)
Instead we get this... 0/2
Wtf? That sounds crazy, any sources?
without opening it up physically there is no way to make it stop or get the raw stream before it's displayed
