- Comment on Reevaluating my password management 2 hours ago:
If you’ve been using passkeys, you’ll need to generate new ones when you switch. AFAIK, they aren’t exportable from Google or Apple. Which, among other reasons, is why I’ll just stick to high-entropy passwords. I’ve had some sites like Amazon try to sneakily make me register passcodes, I’ve had to go back and tear them out before they screw me somehow.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 2 hours ago:
If you wanted to drive me insane, make me browse the internet using one stupid little screen. Sounds like hell on earth.

That was where my head went, too.
- Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation 18 hours ago:
How would this have compared to Calibre’s OPDS function? I’ve used that for years with no issues.
- Comment on Last year China generated almost 3 times as much solar power as the EU did, and it's close to overtaking all OECD countries put together (whose combined population is 1.38 billion people) 2 days ago:
it exports an insane amount of solar panels instead of keeping them for themselves
How altruistic of them.

This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet
That fucking drives me up the wall. How did your parents fail so badly that they couldn’t teach you to pick up your feet?

It’s got Radium! It’s what the body craves!

It’s about energy independence. The CCP doesn’t give a fuck about the environment, but not having to bring in energy from out of country is high on any governments priority list.
- Comment on Home surveillance set up 4 days ago:
Limit yourself to ONVIF enabled cameras, wherever they come from. Then if the opensource stuff doesn’t float your boat, there’s always Blue Iris. Well worth the $50-70 IMO

- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 1 week ago:
It doesn’t matter if you hide the number; at some point they deanonymized you when you signed up.
Want to be a dick about “hoops”? Get a number that isn’t traceable. It can be done, but it’s tough. I doubt its possible in the countries that really need anonymity of association.

Matrix
- Comment on wtf 1 week ago:
Bipedal running gains a lot of energy just by falling forward rather than pushing forward every step.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 1 week ago:
No clue. Never even tried to use it since it’s a Meta product. I was referring to Signal’s phone # requirement being a non-starter.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 1 week ago:
Matrix and Element. Run your own server if you want or use a server that’s not in the US.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 1 week ago:
Don’t ask me for a phone number and I’ll use it.

Water?
Never touch the stuff.
Fish fuck in it, doncha know?
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 week ago:
Same with Piped. Pinchflat downloads it so even if it were throttled when it fetches, it will play at local speeds
- Comment on Fed keeps rates unchanged after Trump floats appointing himself to chair 1 week ago:
That would be hilarious.
Do it.
Shorting USD right now.
- Comment on What's the e-reader you would buy if you were in the market? 1 week ago:
Nexus 7 with FBReader connected via OPDS to Caliber, and I get books via Usenet, most of which I’ve physically bought but hate reading physical books now.

That’ll be on the Internet’s headstone.
- Comment on What exactly is a self-hosted small LLM actually good for (<= 3B) 1 week ago:
It’ll work for quick bash scripts and one-off things like that. But there’s not usually enough context window unless you’re using a 24G GPU or such.
- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 2 weeks ago:
I have this talent as well; I use sriracha instead of ketchup on my burger and fries, with hot peppers.
But let me warn you, do not think this holds true when you have hemorrhoids. It will put you in a different universe of pain.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 2 weeks ago:
General strikes accomplish a fuck of a lot more in a shorter amount of time. When the owners of the administration can’t get their poptarts to the stores to be sold, the bank calls their loans and shit gets real.
- Comment on Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say? 2 weeks ago:
I love mine, but I wasn’t going to pay new price for them. But used, it’s worth the money. Like you say, it folds down to a very small block and fits in the pocket well. I just make sure I put the outside screen towards my chest (shirt pocket) and never had it fall out like other phones do, since I’m pretty actively moving most days.

Don’t get my hopes up.
- Comment on Is there a searchable table view for serverpartdeals by $/TB 2 weeks ago:
I must have been mistaken about the spreadsheet, but Joe Ressington (Alan’s cohost on 2.5Admins) came back with this:
Though it doesn’t target Serverparts it does give a good list to get part numbers. He suggested Seagates since you can check the SMART data on them and nobody has figured out how to spoof it yet on Seagate drives (supposedly).
Sorry about that.
