- Comment on Let’s Encrypt Begins Supporting IP Address Certificates 1 day ago:
Currently before establishing an encrypted connection to a webserver the domain is sent to the webserver unencrypted so that the server can choose the appropriate certificate to use for encryption. That is called SNI, Server Name Indication.
Of course that’s a privacy risk. There are finally protocols to fix this but they aren’t very widespread and depend on DNS over HTTPS.
I think issuing certificates based on the IP and sending the domain name encrypted based on that certificate could have fixed this issue ages ago.
- Comment on Let’s Encrypt Begins Supporting IP Address Certificates 1 day ago:
I never understood why we don’t use IP certificates to encrypt the domain with SNI.

Wasn’t that a stupid study where they didn’t cover the heads and then concluded that people lost most of their heat through the head?
- Comment on How do you even find companies to work with ? 2 days ago:
Is there some kind of employment (or unemployment) office from the government in your country? They could have their own job board. It might suck, but sometimes you’re lucky and find something.

- Comment on For people who want to play their favorite games but are unable to, what are you currently doing? 4 days ago:
Due to Long Covid I can only lay in bed and most games are too intense for me. So I actually do watch let’s plays.
I really like Welonz. She has a really nice mix of indies and big titles, regularly tries out a great variety of games. She is very thorough and while she might not find all the secrets she will go out of her way to show alternate endings and stuff. And she has an interesting voice, so rumor has it that she is actually a ten year old boy.

“Despite”?

I was once at some children party thingy where they had free cotton candy. My friend and I ate so much that we completely swore off of the stuff for all eternity.
Then I went and got married to a gal with a cotton candy machine…

She literally talks all the time about how she doesn’t get any offers all of the sudden. She probably did at least once in one of her last four streams. She just has become pickier with what she auditions for. But she still has to audition like everyone else.

Yeah, apparently the director and writer of E33 were actually playing BG3 at the time of the casting. But they didn’t recognise her voice at all. They just knew that they had found the right one for the role.
It’s also saying something that they cast Andy Serkis and didn’t use him for performance capture. That was all done before the voice recordings. Recording over already finished performance was an entirely new experience for him.

GPS and similar systems are just big atomic clocks flying around the earth, shouting their time down to earth. A GPS (or other) device just needs to know the current time and the position of the satellites to calculate its own position.
The most control the US ever exercised over GPS was to encrypt the more precise parts of the satellite’s timestamps so that only military devices could get really precise positions. They stopped doing that when other systems went online. That was for the whole world, including its own citizens.
- Comment on Iran Disables GPS, Joins China’s Beidou — The End of U.S. Satellite Dominance? [19:23 | JUN 28 2025 | GVS Deep Dive] 1 week ago:
China’s system can’t be used for spying. It’s as passive as GPS. These things are harmless. No amount of control can be enacted through them.

There’s a villain in the DC universe who is actually an immortal caveman. But he uses his immortality to learn the languages and customs of the area and era he is in.

I think Piefed supports that. Multicommunities. Was already a thing on Reddit that was calle Multireddit, I think.
- Comment on Iran Disables GPS, Joins China’s Beidou — The End of U.S. Satellite Dominance? [19:23 | JUN 28 2025 | GVS Deep Dive] 1 week ago:
It’s stupid to not just use all the available systems. Don’t just support Beidou. Use Beidou, Galileo (European), GLONASS (Russia) and GPS. Makes lock on faster, increases precision and helps if one doesn’t work for whatever reason.
The US cannot just shutdown Iran’s usage. That would impact all other countries as well. GPS consists of only about 30 satellites for the whole world. Starlink satellites are much much lower and can thus be more easily associated with one country.

How TF can you shut down GPS for just a country? That’s not how it works. And the US doesn’t get paid or sees your position or anything when you use their GPS. It’s an entirely passive system.
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 1 week ago:
Yes, I love giving other people access to my private pictures I explicitly don’t host on Google, Dropbox or other external clouds. I usually pay them from the hoard of gold that’s stashed away under my bed.
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 1 week ago:
Yeah, trouble is that it doesn’t really work well with Nextcloud together so I would have to migrate all of my devices.
And in the end it doesn’t work much better than NC.

Nice to see that the professionals have the same problems I have.
- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 1 week ago:
I actually want AI on my Nextcloud. As long as it runs locally. We’ve taken thousands of pictures over the years and desperately need some help in categorising them. Unfortunately so far I wasn’t able to find any reliable way to automate it.
