- Comment on Earbugld question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 1 day ago:
I’m a FAM of silicone eartips for sure. Better seal, better fit, more comfortable.
I can’t stand the hard plastic earbuds man. Hurts my ears and they dont fit as well.
- Comment on Quidk! I need a chili recipe. What would you add to a pound of hamburger, diced jalapenos, chili powder and bloody mary mix? 6 days ago:
Agreed. Lentils can also be good if you wanna make it last longer but if you’re going all traditional chilli, its all beans dawg. Kidney beans, pinto and black beans are all good choices.

- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 1 week ago:
For me personally, fallout 4 requires mods to be enjoyable. I enjoyed skyrim without mods but fallout 4 did a terrible job with dialogue options which is always the first mod I add.
Other things like the unofficial patch, better settlement building mods, etc. just help make the game playable.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Ive seen the mods out there but nothing does quite what I’d like. I do appreciate that people are making mdos and that the devs are keeping modding in mind though.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I really enjoy timberborn, but the building mechanics and the amount of blocks, decorations, and buildings leave something to be desired for me.
The overall gameplay is fun, but I’d really like more blocks and decorations to use as everything you build in this game looks very much the same through different playthroughs.
Also there needs to be something else to do with science after you unlock everything. Upgrades for beavers or something.
- Comment on If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations? 4 weeks ago:
I use cloudflare for both my domains. $17 or so each.
Honestly you can spend as little as a couple bucks if you dont care about a name. I like cloudflare but almost any registrar is fine as long as you pay for the domain.
- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 1 month ago:
Typically the difference is that people with autism and or ADHD experience things more frequently or more intensely than others.
Yes, all these things are normal for most folks, but how often and the severity of these symptoms are diffrent.
For example, I have ADHD, and one of the symptoms of that is I’m easily distracted. For most people, this would sound fairly normal, but even when its something important, or something I want to do, my brain is moving on to a billion other things all at once rather than focusing on the task at hand. Medication helps immensely with this, but it still happens even on my meds at times. That is not normal.
Also the autism spectrum is a spectrum for a reason. Some people appear to cope better than others and some can’t cope at all. Masking is normal but for someone with autism it can be exhausting because some people with autism never stop masking. They are constantly aware they aren’t “normal” and it stresses them out.
Its hard to understand these kinds of feelings if you’re Neurotypical. Our brains work differently from others, which might sound like “I’m special” but honestly, I’d rather not have ADHD. Shit sucks dude. I fucking hate not being able to do things like a normal person. Its a curse.
People ive met with ADHD or autism, its just nice to be seen and feel like were understood which is why these memes are often posted or are popular with those crowds.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 1 month ago:
Older and or used hardware is gonna be a place to start for CPU and GPU. Used dell optiplex can get you most of the way there, then buy a decent GPU when you can. Just make sure it fits in the case and the PSU that comes with the optiplex can handle the power draw. I’d recommend a new PSU though. Dont buy used for PSU or storage is the best advice I can give.
Optiplex are not gonna get you top of the line performance or anything but it’ll be a lot better than nothing and you can always use it for something else later like a nas, a server, home theater PC, etc.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 1 month ago:
Yup was gonna say the same thing.
They can be removed with third party tools but they shouldn’t be there in the first place.
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 1 month ago:
Me personally, I’ll never pre-order a game. Pre ordering is different from early access because i actually get the game even in a unfinished state.
All that said, it depends on the game. Timberborn has been the only early access game I felt has been worth it. The Devs are still putting out regular updates and have vastly improved the game since i bought it. Its been very fun to play from the beginning and has only gotten better.
Compare that to something like cyberpunk, yea I’m good. Couldn’t imagine how that must of felt to preorder that and get that mess on release. I think the main difference is the studio. AAA games I rarely buy anymore. Indie games though? Thats where I’m at.

- Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel? 4 months ago:
I used a cloudflare tunnel for streaming music in jellyfin. Didn’t so much else with it and it worked pretty well. Anything high bandwidth you should use something else, but for stuff that doesnt consume a ton of bandwidth like music streaming in my case, it worked fine, at least when I used it a few years back.
- Comment on Ideas 5 months ago:
Cost, privacy, and control.
No matter what happens to stuff outside my network, I have full control over my data and hardware, without paying someone for thiers.
I still haven’t set up my self hosting stuff yet, still moving things in with my girlfriend and unpacking but I’ll be using my mini PCs for home assistant, nextcloud, immich, and Jellyfin to start with. May set up some arr services as well but I kinda like to just pay for things to own them if I can.
- Comment on 5 months ago:
I like the elitedesk PC for smaller services. My main reason being the power draw and or heat output. The ones I have use 60w of power which is pretty damn good for a whole computer.
Noise is another factor. Space saving is a plus, helps prevent ewaste since these are almost always refurbished. Its a good deal IMO.
And you can always buy or build a big honking PC or server for something else later on.
- Comment on How to relax and most importantly stop thinking about the things i could be doing? 5 months ago:
As someone who also has ADHD, definitely agree. Lists are a good way to get things out of your head where its jumbled unto a format that your brain actually can use and process with less noise.
On my meds I can keep things together a lot better, but lists are still something I use all the time.
- Comment on TIL about Android Translation Layer (ATL), a way to port Android apps to Linux Mobile 5 months ago:
I’m on a pixel 8 with GrpaheneOS and was hoping not to have to worry until 2027 or whenever the updates end. I would hope the devs at least consider a few years of updates for pixels after they release a me wphone but I guess time will tell.
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 6 months ago:
I feel that man. Right now I load balance between tmobile and starlink cause the towers near me suck. I work from home so having consistent internet is really important and in my area, the fiber build out is really slow and expensive. Luckily I’m moving here soon but its been a pain in the ass to say the least.
Starlink is great for what it is. Very important tech but yea, I’m sure most everyone would be happier with fiber.
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 6 months ago:
I say this as someone who actively pays for starlink out of necessity.
Fuck you, no. Fiber is much better for everyone. Eat shit muskrat.
- Comment on Final Fantasy X programmer doesn’t get why devs want to replicate low-poly PS1 era games. “We worked so hard to avoid warping, but now they say it’s charming” - AUTOMATON WEST 6 months ago:
Wow, Ive never heard that before but that is such a beautiful way of putting it. I love art that’s messy and weird. Music that sounds imperfect where you can hear mistakes or “imperfections”. Either intentional or not, I love those kinds of things in art. Makes it human.

Thats rad, thanks for the info. I may follow suit, been trying to degoogle myself lately.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 6 months ago:
Yea I’m aware but I appreciate the insight :) so far my local ai experience has been lack luster so I’m hoping
If you haven’t tried using RAG in some form, I would recommend giving it a go. Its pretty cool stuff, helps make models answer more accurately based on the documentation you give them though in my case, ive had limited success. Tbh, chatgpt has become my last resort when I just wanna get something done but I don’t like using it due to the privacy concerns, not to mention the ethical issues I have with ai training in general from big tech.
How is searxng BTW? Would you say its good to host or do you use a normal search engine more often? Or do you just use it for the AI search plugin?
Ive actually been thinking about using it rather than duckduckgo but was also hopeful the search index they are working on would be enough to satisfy my needs, or that a self hosted AI enabled search engine would work well enough when I need it.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 6 months ago:
Thats why i was considering training my own model if possible. Ive been toying around with kobold.CPP and gpt4all which both have RAG implementations.
My idea is to essentially chat with documentation and as a separate use case, have it potentially be a AI search engine but locally hosted. I do still prefer to search myself, but fuck man, searches have gotten so bad, and the kobold.CPP web lookup feature was pretty neat IMO.
So yea you’re not wrong, I’m just hoping that if in train it and or give it documentation it can reference when answering, it will be suitable. Mostly AI has been good for me as kind of a rubber ducky when troubleshooting and helping me search for things when I have some specific question and in don’t want “top 5 things vaguely related to your question” results.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 6 months ago:
Getting ready to move from out of the woods and back to civilization with my partner.
Not looking forward to having neighbors above or below me but I’m very excited to have internet that doesnt fucking suck.
Once were moved and a bit more settled, I’m gonna start really digging into to selfhosting things. I have the hardware, a couple HP mini PCs that will run home assistant and probably a server for various docker things. Nextcloud and immich seem to be the things I’ve found i wanna use so far. I already have a NAS set up, but was having am issue with it not booting if a monitor isnt plugged in. I bought a dummy plug for it but haven’t tried it out yet.
Will also be setting up an AI server for local LLM use. Hope to train one to fit my needs once I pull the trigger on 3060 12GB card but need to figure out what other parts I’ll use. Might upgrade my main rig and use the parts from that, or maybe I’ll buy a old dell and fix it up. Not sure yet.
Lots of ideas, so little time lol.

Yea not super thrilled with bambu lab for the privacy concerns but the printer itself is good. I just use it in lan only mode and block any outgoing network traffic on my router.
But there are other brands that are good. Ive heard prusa is nice but never tried them.
