Nginx was the easiest to setup for me at the time and I’ve no reason to fix what isn’t broken.

- Comment on How do you handle family requests that you disagree with? 6 months ago:
I’d just host them in a library only visible to mom and members that would want to view it.
Also consider the unintentionally comedic value of such films, they’re sometimes fun to watch just because of how bad they are.

Linux Mint Debian Edition if you find Debian itself too intimidating.
- Comment on What's a good graphics card for jellyfin? 6 months ago:
The nvidia 1650 can’t do AV1 but it can handle hevc just fine, I’m currently using a 1660 on mine and before that it was a 950. Unless you need more than 3 steams at a time you should be able to get it working.
- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 6 months ago:
Interesting to hear, and yeah one of the main issues with garnishing someones wages is, even the government has to do a bit of work to actually track down your employer and people who default on student loans don’t tend to have very good employment (i’m not at all arguing you shouldnt pay them if you can actually afford to, just that you shouldnt go out of your way for it if you’re struggling).
I wonder how much they got from 15% of that one employees wages, I’ll bet it was less then they’d have to pay to actually pay off the loan… and of course if that person ever changes jobs they have to track down the new employer each time. also wonder how common it is for wages to be garnished over say child support compared, or back taxes to student loans…
- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 6 months ago:
thank you! Ive yet to hear a single story from anyone who’s actually defaulted and had wages garnished for student loans. Sure it can happen but its pretty rare.
- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 6 months ago:
I know people who’ve defaulted on student loans, I’m not making anything up, you are assuming a lot
- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 6 months ago:
Okay but what I’m saying is, why take a second job? Why not just make a single minimum payment every 270 days to avoid them moving to the next steps? There are just so many other options besides working a second job to pay them, and so many delay tactics you could employ to avoid getting to the point of garnished wages.

By default I just mean stop paying. You can’t get rid of the debt by bankruptcy or anything, but it also doesn’t affect peoples credit score as much as many seem to think it does.
- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 6 months ago:
I’m saying you can stop paying, Im not saying you won’t still owe them, but I know people who owe tens of thousands in student loans and have not paid them a cent in over ten years, they have a credit score of around 800, its never affected their ability to get any kind of credit or housing.
I think people over estimate how important they are or what kind of consequences there are for not paying as if it ruins your credit score forever or something.
- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 6 months ago:
You’re thinking of bankruptcy, you can absolutely stop paying student loans, you’ll still owe them but they can’t force you to pay them.
- Comment on 40-year-old delivers for DoorDash to help pay down her $100,000 student loan debt—on top of her full-time job 6 months ago:
I will never understand why people work so hard to pay off student loans… I know people who do and people who don’t and it seems like the people who don’t pay them tend to actually have much better credit or at least are better at managing their finances. If you’ve been paying off a loan for years and the balance just keeps going UP, the sensible thing to do is default on the loan, accept the consequences of that (which is minimal with student loans) and move on with your life

Yeah my thoughts exactly, I don’t see what the problem is here… Are people under the assumption discord is somehow private? What do they think discord themselves are doing with all that data?
- Comment on NUC, Proxmox and HA (a noob seeking for help) 7 months ago:
Oh right, so the NAS you can setup with the addon Samba NAS.
DuckDNS will mitigate your issues with not having a staic IP (alternatively theres any number of DynDNS programs you can look into if for example you already own your own domain name)
Nginx-Proxy-Manager allows you to forward ports based on the domain used to connect so, you might not even need it really but if you wanted for exmple to have an address like mysupercoolnas.duckdns,org rediect to one proxmox vm and mycoolassitant.duckdns.org to reditect to HA you could do that. Or you could just have one DynDNS setup and use port forwarding on your router to handle what ports direct to which VM.
- Comment on NUC, Proxmox and HA (a noob seeking for help) 7 months ago:
how to access the NAS and HA separately from the outside knowing that my access provider does not offer a static IP and that access to each VM must be differentiated from Proxmox.
HA has add-ons for duckns and nginx-proxy-manager which should solve your first question.
is Coral really useful with 3 cameras?
Yes if you want object detection
- do you need a Coral in USB or M.2 version? I’ve only used a USB, I don’t know how to pass M.2 through to the VM but I’m sure theres tutorials out there if you want to.
- are there affordable NUCs with free M.2 slots?
Can’t answer that one.
- won’t proxmox add a layer of complexity with Coral/Frigate/a Zigbee dongle?
Yes, you’ll need to know how to pass through the devices to their respective VMs.

Namecheap since I have been using them since the 00s and never had any problems.
- Comment on How do you manage your server files? 8 months ago:
For automatic stuff I use synching to keep my home an documents in sync.
I don’t normally use samba remotely but I have a wire guard VPN that I connect to if I’m not at home and that gives me access to samba or any other “local” services I might need when away
- Comment on How do you manage your server files? 8 months ago:
I use samba for normal usage and rsync for backups.
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years 8 months ago:
That title sounds like what you’d say running a Kickstarter scam… yeah sure its not good yet but if enough people keep preordering our not complete product eventually it will be good.
- Comment on That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says 10 months ago:
So because it depends on Nintendo libraries, valve wanted it taken down, but valve doesn’t represent nintendo and the project isn’t by them or on steam, so who’s actually at risk of being sued and why?
If Nintendo asked the developer to stop using Nintendo stuff I’d get it, but in that case it was never legal to begin with and the developer knew they had no license to use those libraries, so why all of a sudden does the developer not want to continue at the request of valve, are they an employee of valve or something? This is super weird, its not even a nintendo IP

Well if the title is for just 2023 I think musk has it, if we take overall negative impact in a lifetime then I’m not sure but musk is probably not as bad.

Zuck is bad sure, but he’s not a jackass, at least not publicly, he might not have made the best decision for meta but the company is by no means failing, Elon is just so much worse on every level.

Kodi doesn’t supply streams and the addons that people make to try and integrate them are pretty much all garbage. Now if you have your own local media library, that’s where kodi can shine…

- Comment on What's the point on hosting RSS reader's? 11 months ago:
Maybe you don’t run anything worth subscribing to for yourself but if youre running services that have any kind of updates you want to notify people of RSS would be a way to do it. Any kind of blog can have an RSS feed of new posts, you could have a feed of the newest files uploaded to a site.
- Comment on Obligatory "You will own nothing and be happy" 1 year ago:
these types of “rent-a-center” businesses don’t exactly target people with credit scores that can be damaged much (it can only go so low), these are the kind of places people who are extremely irresponsible with their money go to get things because they literally have no other option.
