Strategically let someone pass you? (lemmy.world)
 

Say you are in the lead of a race and there is like two laps remaining, and you have someone close behind. Like Max and Lando. Has it ever happened, or has anyone ever considered letting someone pass them on the second to last lap, with the expectation that they would have DRS on the last lap and get the lead back and win?

Front Tyres Defy Physics in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

When you watch the video at the 7:17 timestamp, the front tyres are moving faster than the ground under them. This can easily happen with rear (powered) tyres (i.e., "burning rubber", "peeling out", etc.). But how can the front tyres go faster than the ground is making them move?

When you watch the front tyres of these cars in slow motion, it sure looks like they are rotating faster than the ground would have them rotate. Makes no sense! Any physicists in here that can explain?

What does the "S" mean after each driver here? (lemmy.world)
 

Don't think I've ever seen those "S" before. And I think it was only during Q3.

Where to put reverse proxy? (lemmy.world)
 

I currently have my reverse proxy on my NAS. That means I forward all of my 443 HTTPS traffic to my NAS. I am using OpnSense for my router, and there are several options for reverse proxies on that. Everything works the way it is now, but I do wonder if it would be "better" if I moved all of the reverse proxy stuff to my router. I don't know that anything would be simpler to manage one way or the other, so I think it comes down to best practices and security. If I move the reverse proxy to my router, I would be able to remove that forwarded port, but is that really any more or less secure?

Proxmox Ubuntu VM has "graphical" console (lemmy.world)
 

This is kind of hard to explain, but hopefully it makes sense. I don't think a screenshot would help because everything "LOOKS" fine. But the characters in my Ubuntu VM console look funny. And I can't drag my mouse across the text to select it. Nor cacn I right-click. The console works fine, and I can run commands. I don't see the Ubuntu desktop, just this console. I don't even really need the desktop, but if it's there and I can start it up when I want it, that will be OK, but for now I would like to figure out how to get a regular console for this VM. Any ideas? Thanks, and sorry for the newb question!

pfsense: Who needs AES-NI? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm thinking about building a box for pfsense. Looking at hardware options and I see a pretty significant difference in price when comparing hardware with and without AES-NI. I don't necessarily think I'll need AES. The way I understand it, AES is for using VPN that is somehow running on the router??? I mean, my wife and I both use VPNs on our work computers so we can reach our work networks, but that isn't using any encryption features on my router, is it?? Or am I not understanding?

Google Meet... does it not make video calls like all the other apps? (lemmy.world)
 

When I try to use Google Meet to call my wife, daughter, mom, whatever, it always wants me to send an email to them to schedule a meeting. They all have gmail accounts, and that's what I am trying to call them with.

Is Meet supposed to be an alternative to Zoom? As far as I know, you can't just call someone on Zoom and their computer/phone rings (like MS Teams).

Does Meet not place on-demand calls (like WhatsApp), or am I doing it wrong?
