- Comment on In 2024, 62% of all child sexual abuse webpages found were traced to an EU country, and the Netherlands remains the most abused global location for hosting CSAM. 1 day ago:
Taking this with a grain of salt coming from the UK. The same UK who really wants to backdoor encryption, and isn’t subject to the EU (Brexit).
It’s shitty that CSAM is a problem, but it’s not a solution to backdoor encryption and vacuum everyone’s data. This is what would happen. It starts with ‘protecting the children’ and moves quickly into abuse of privilege.
- Comment on Self-hosted PDF manager? 4 days ago:
I third this! I saw title and came to say.
It’s actively being developed still, I get emails like once every 1–3 weeks, sometimes more. Sometimes less.
I use docker desktop for this. I also lowkey learned how to set up a multi-database for this at one point, but kinda stopped after I got it working. More to see if I could.
I also tried bare metal building this, but had shit luck. It’s been a couple years though. Docker just makes it easy as hell.
I still keep all the originals separate just in case, and the tool can help you make multiple copies too (like PDF-A). I’ve never needed to go back and use those though, as Paperless just works so well once you get the hang of it and how you want your data stored.
I picked a structure that kind of lets me find stuff easily even if the tool is not running (like just by folder structures).
I’ve yet to make this online available for obvious reasons. But it would be nice to be able to pull up pretty much any document you need, any time.
Any suggestions on safe web access quickly from a phone might be helpful (WireGuard maybe?) if you have them.

Is the game worth the premium? I was thinking of this or Indiana Jones. Or what else is solid right now? Last game I got into was Baldurs Gate 3

Them probably.
- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 4 weeks ago:
You make fair points. I shouldn’t jest so carelessly. I don’t think it’s just Obama either though. Past administrations have all had hands toward what we have today.
That said; I do think you’re right really. Which also kinda makes me sad. I wish we had some real leadership, and actually hope 😅
We end up with a remixed reality of ‘King Ralph’ instead. Every day with Trump is eating away at whatever hope for some kind of check and balance to occur. It’s disheartening to feel so powerless in the face of such a FUBAR-POTUS clown show in the chainsaw wielding circus.
Anyway! Back to masking it 🎭

- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 weeks ago:
I’ve been using Plex many years. I abandoned it about 1-2 years ago when they began their enshittification journey. Now I see they are continuing to double down on being assholes.
They do not need any more resources to allow people to use what already exists. Most people run their own servers, and, they track all that by the way. Hence why people moved away from it.
Don’t give them your money. Let them rot. They fucked their user base who built them.
- Comment on Microsoft has pulled back on over a gigawatt of planned data center capacity, suggesting that they do not think there is a growth future in generative AI 1 month ago:
Yeah you echo my thoughts actually. That efficiency could be found in multiple areas, including deepseek. That perhaps too that some other political things may be a bit more uncertain.

I just dumped pcloud. Also a surprising increase in fake pcloud emails trying desperately for me to click them. My email provider flags them over real pcloud ones. Still. Someone is spamming the shit out of me for that. I’d say pcloud isn’t worth sticking with.

Wow, way to try staying relevant I guess? They had a huge following and the porn was flowing during the good times. They blew their chance and now it’s a shell of itself. Fuck Tumblr.

- Comment on Intel CEO Lost A 40% Discount For TSMC's Latest Chip Tech After Taiwan Remarks - Report 5 months ago:
Ever since Gelsinger took over the helm at Intel, the firm has focused on reestablishing its manufacturing technology leadership in the global chip manufacturing industry and setting up a contract manufacturing division to compete with TSMC. At the same time, Intel is also working with TSMC to outsource some of its production needs to the Taiwanese firm.
For fucks sake, he’s just into BDSM apparently. Wants to take it in the A while sucking the D. While of course pissing away billions the rest of the world could use for so many other things. Sigh.

Right?? What struggle did they face to come to terms with their sexuality or gender identity? It’s completely hollow.
- Comment on Radio station uses AI to interview the ghost of a dead Nobel-winner with 3 quirky zoomers who don't exist, seems baffled people don't like it 5 months ago:
These would be 20-year-old Emilia Nowa, “a journalism student [and] pop culture expert,” who is “passionately following the latest trends in the world of cinema, music and fashion”; 22-year-old Jakub Zieliński, who’s studying Acoustic Engineering at AGH (a Kraków university); and rounding out the three was 23-year-old Alex, a former psychology student who is “socially engaged, passionately discussing topics related to identity [and] queer culture.”
Do people even ‘bond’ with characters who are totally fake? How can you be into their life and story and everything, when none of it is real? It’s different when you’re watching a cartoon or something. It’s objectively not trying to pretend to be human. This above feels gross.
