I bought an Aula F65 off Ali Express. By default it didn't work with VIA. I had to download the Aula F65 firmware first.

The firmware was a single EXE which I'd run which gave almost no information about what it was doing except that it had set my keyboard to "Code Version 0000". Rerunning the exe multiple times would result in different codes, including a "Code Version 1005" which made the keyboard unresponsive, bit of a scary moment. I ran the exe again and it set the keyboard back to "Code Version 0000".

Once the keyboard was at "Code Version 0000", it was then VIA compatible. I reconnected the keyboard, then on the UseVIA website, I was able to authorize the keyboard and it showed up in the keyboard selection list.

But that wasn't enough, even after authoriz

With Playwright in a container, I want to have it call 'example.com', and when it does, reroute that request to some other domain, such as httpbin.org. In my case this would be a load balancer.

How it works - Playwright uses its proxy feature and calls Squid.
The Squid container has been configured to think that example.com is on the nginx container's IP address.
Nginx just uses TCP forwarding and sends the request on to httpbin.org.
Nginx doesn't use HTTP proxying because then it would need to host a certificate.

Bring up the nginx and squid

Basically I want a container to call 'example.com' and when it does, it should go to Nginx which in turn forward the request to some-other-domain.com

This worked with curl and other basic applications.

This doesn't seem to work with Playwright though, for some reason Chrome just ignores the 'DNS' being set up here. For Playwright, I used this method with Squid.

Bring up the nginx

docker-compose up nginx

Remapped the rightmost keys to delete, home, end. (Instead of Home, pg up, pg down).
