- Comment on Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab? 1 day ago:
I did it a week ago and it was just a case of passing through the video card. I came across a lot of guides and they were all in the CLI. I assume things have improved or maybe it differs per card. I was just using onboard graphics from an N100 CPU.

- Comment on OpenAI plans to announce Google search competitor on Monday, sources say 1 month ago:
Sticking with duck duck go. Not seeing advertising, news or video recommendations based on a one time search in Google is bliss.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 1 month ago:
Same old shit with everything. A company makes a move that users don’t like. The company just ignores all the flak they are getting online. The uproar calms down and then things continue.
We’re seeing this more and more. Windows with ads, Amazon adding ads to their prime account holders. Spotify moving lyrics to their premium subscription. The past couple of years are shit and companies continue to do whatever the fuck they want.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 month ago:
I started dual booting to Arch Linux and more often than not I boot more now into Linux than Windows 11. I’ve used Windows since 3.11. Microsoft really have fucked Windows recently.

Does that include cheap Bluetooth devices that need a password and use 0000?
- Comment on Why I ditched Gmail for Proton Mail 2 months ago:
Yes. I did it recently but the way I did it means moving all 300+ websites that I have logins for is now done in seconds.
I signed up for SimpleLogin and a custom domain. I then went around creating aliases for all these sites. Changing the sites is indeed the worst part. Still, this is the last time I ever do it. All my aliases were pointing to my Gmail account. Once I’d finished I settled on Proton. I just moved all my aliases to my Proton email address.
No one knows my Proton email address other than SimpleLogin.
I haven’t but can now ditch Gmail. I still keep the account for a number of reasons but none are for emails.
I’ve also been testing Tutamail. I can get aliases to go to multiple mailboxes. I have the ability to respond to the emails from either Tuta or Proton and the recipient is none the wiser of where my mailbox resides.
- Comment on Why I ditched Gmail for Proton Mail 2 months ago:
The sending mail server will keep trying for a period of time. Eventually though it will give up and return the email to the sender with an error message.

Proton allows you to export as eml or mbox. Seems fine to me?

Fake stamps were bound to happen. They’re so expensive now

- Comment on Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton 2 months ago:
The next question is does anyone actually let you import passkeys? I don’t think there is ☹️
I have a few keys in Bitwarden but before I go adding more I am going to play with Proton Pass. A lot of users were understandably annoyed when Bitwarden released passkey support but in such a limited manner.
- Comment on Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton 2 months ago:
I guess it’s a bit like a bank card with a PIN. You go to pay for something and your card stores your credentials on it. To allow those credentials to be read you need to unlock them using the PIN.
- Comment on Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton 2 months ago:
It seems no matter what new advancements we make in technology the big tech companies seek nothing more to implement it in a way that benefits themselves. Regardless if it means fucking over the consumer.
I really hate what the internet has become over the last couple of years.
- Comment on Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton 2 months ago:
We’ve also given passkeys and passwords equal priority so that you can use them interchangeably in our apps. This means you can store, share, and export passkeys just like you can with passwords.
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t say hot is great either. Just testing now and the third post is a NSFW post that’s 43 minutes old, has 5 votes and 0 comments.
Top seems to work best for me but I do have to pick 24, 12 or 6 hour.
- Comment on What are your complaints about Lemmy? 2 months ago:
I know it comes with more users. But the default filter on Sync for Lemmy (Active) means I see the same post at the top of my feed for 2 days! Previously on Reddit that would change like the wind changes direction.

- Comment on Nominating Valtteri Bottas for *compulsory* Aussie citizenship 3 months ago:
Bottas is awesome. It’s odd that for years he always seemed very straight laced. We saw glimpses of his inner beast when he started getting naked with Lewis. He then went full beast when he unveiled the mullet.
- Comment on Announcing lemmy-ui-next, an alternative Lemmy frontend built with NextJS! 3 months ago:
I really like it, much prefer this layout over the default one.
One question though, how do I respond/reply to the original post? I’ve had to go back to the old UI as I don’t see a Reply button or comment box. I can see a Reply link on other people’s comments, but not on to reply to the main thread.
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 is out now - player count on Steam explodes 3 months ago:
The dev is legendary. It boggles my mind how someone can be so talented in art, programming, music, story lines etc. Stunning.
Stardew Valley is one of a kind. I doubt we will ever see a game made this well, by a single developer and looked after for this amount of time.
- Comment on Can you un-smart a smart tv? 3 months ago:
No answering the question directly but I’m a large family and having the TV with no streaming services just won’t fly in this household. I pay for NextDNS but if you run a PiHole or AdGuard there’s a good filter for Smart TV’s.

I found this game very repetitive. I still enjoyed it though. Even got the Platinum trophy.
One to get when it’s on sale IMO
- Comment on Best way to dockerize a static website? 3 months ago:
I just use nginx in docker. It runs from a Pi4 so needs to be lightweight. I’m sure there are lighter httpd servers to use, but it works for me. I also run nginx proxy manager to create a reverse proxy and to manage the certificate renewal that comes from Let’s Encrypt.
