- Comment on Bounce launches a service for moving accounts between Bluesky and Mastodon 2 days ago:
Id love to be wrong, but much like how meta patched threads into AP, i see this primarily as a performative gesture to allow them to take credit for “federating” when they have no intention of allowing it to get out of there control.

Sure, and the 14b he gave was with no strings attached.
Its not like Jay Garber is any better

So how many people are doing that? I doubt more then 5% of their users are actually using a pds.
How many times do we have to watch venture capitalists enshittify services before people learn. Do you really think bluesky doesnt have plans to extract every drop of ad revenue and data harvesting at some point, decentralization doesnt work with that business model, sure its fine now in the honeymoon phase but wait till Jack decides ita time to cash out.

Must be nice to start a centrally controlled social network call it decentralized and then just let other people not on the company payroll do all the work for you.
Fuckin corpos
- Comment on localhosting: selfhosting to the min 3 days ago:
Great idea, i really hope we see more of that type of local/selfhosting for average folks, its really the only way to save the internet from just being another corporate censorship heavy advertising platform.
- Comment on What should I call the cable I need? 1 week ago:
There is no way they connected fiber to router with a freaking phone cord.
Either you misunderstood or they lied but what you need is a standard ethernet cable with the same connection on both ends.
Also if someone is professionally installing hardware they shouldn’t be reusing your existing cables anyway.
You have an XY problem. If what you need is to connect your phillips hue hub then just say that instead.
- Comment on Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server? 1 week ago:
I setup navidrome but never got around to using it much personally. It seems like a good option for a private collection, but im more about sharing mine these days.
I setup jellyfin with feishin and use finamp on mobile for music.
Im running the latest alpha of funkwhale which i recommend checking out the stable version for a better impression but the alpha is functional if a bit ugly at the moment.
I discovered mstream fairly recently and really like its simplicity.
I have MPD setup to stream as a radio on my homepage.
Overall i mainly just use jellyfin out of convenience because i already use it for shows and movies.
I think if you already have jellyfin working navidrome isnt really as useful unless you dont like the way jellyfin handles music (wich objectively jellyfin isnt the best interface for music). Its not really that much extra overhead though tbh so you shouldnt hesitate to give it a try if you want to. Really anything thats just focused on audio streaming isnt going to add much overhead.
- Comment on Need help for setting up a VPN project 1 week ago:
In that case you would need to add the peers to the wireguard node you have running in the home lab as well. Wireguard can route peer to peer and will take the shortest path available to it.
That said, i highly recommend first getting things working in a “spoke and wheel” style wireguard configuration with either your homelab or the vps as a central peer, then add peers as endpoints after you have everyone with working connections to the central peer. Its just a heck of a lot easier to trouble shoot and get your head around thatway.
- Comment on Need help for setting up a VPN project 1 week ago:
A central wireguard peer on your vps, connect from home to vps and direct the wireguard. Add friends as peers on the VPS like such:
[Interface] Address = 10.0.0.1/24 ListenPort = 51820 PrivateKey = <VPS_PRIVKEY> # Home [Peer] PublicKey = <HOME_PUBKEY> AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.2/32 # Friend [Peer] PublicKey = <CLIENT_PUBKEY> AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.3/32
Use iptables to Split tunnel traffic
For the home network ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 1. 0.2 dev wg0
And for the vpn To route google a .d such
Enable NAT for clients
iptables -t natw POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
You can set the iptables rules to run wjen
- Comment on Securing a 'public' service for family 2 weeks ago:
It sounds like you’ve got the right plan. I use Anubis and fail2ban along with some manual rules on nginx to block AI bots. In my experience Anubis helps a lot, and you can monitor nginx logs over time to for scans and such to make additional ban rules on.

Can your watch play mp3s? Most podcasts are available for download that way too.
- Comment on Your favourite piece of selfhosting - Part 1 - Operating System 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty happy with Debian as my server’s OS. I recently gave in to temptation and switched from stable to testing, on my home systems I run Arch because i like to have the most up to date stuff, but with my servers that’s a bit less important, even so debian testing is usually pretty stable itself anyway so I’m not worried much about things breaking because of it.

- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 4 weeks ago:
If taler uses the same banking systems as visa and mastercard, they can be pressured the same way. It sounds like taler shifts even more responsibility to the merchants and they would still comply with KYC which means you can expect stuff like submitting an ID scan for “Verification” in order to comply with laws.
I do hope it takes off, because fuck visa and mastercard, but im not gonna get my hopes up.

You cant buy grapheneos preloaded on anything and doing so would be pretty foolish since it could be backdoored. GraphenOS is aimed at people who value security and privacy, you dont let some rando flash your phone if you value those things.

I havent tried caddy but i might be able to help get it figured out if you wanna chat some time. My contact info is on my website.
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 2 months ago:
My goal was to have no ports exposed on my home network so the proxy is on the VPS. My home server connects over wireguad to the vps, then all the traffic is routed over wireguard to the home server which only listens on wireguard.
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 2 months ago:
I rent a cheap $5/mo VPS and use it to run a wireguard server with wgeasy and nginx proxy manager. Everything else runs on my home server connected by wireguard.

- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 3 months ago:
Yeah some serious boomer logic going on here:
“We thought that if we kept the foundation and the outer walls of the house and we just took the roof off, it was our understanding that we were going to preserve our Save Our Homes and our homestead,” says Debbie.”
“the renovations—removing the roof, adding a second floor—ultimately triggered a full reassessment of the home’s value. Under Florida law, once a property is deemed substantially improved, it can be treated as new construction, removing the protections that had capped the home’s assessed value for years.”
- Comment on Judges Are Fed up With Lawyers Using AI That Hallucinate Court Cases 5 months ago:
Why dont more AI services cite sources? Or just as a lawyer add that to your prompt and just check if they exist? I get fake sources on OpenAI sometimes but its obvious because the links are dead.
