  They said if they PAY to use… and get ads. They are right, I ditched tv for streaming because less ads. Now they want to go full circle? I feel like I can’t even open up the fridge these days without having some agenda or ad start.

  We did this when I was between 7-9 years. Once they had us line up on one side, and we could only cross the room, using those. Some tried to push and got ‘stranded’ between. One kid, put one in front of the other then swapped. Then again. Using two to cross. Soon many were trying to. I still remember this decades later 😁

  Sorry, uh… I didn’t mean run them at the same time. I had to have a DHCP server stand in for it when I had to take that device itself down (the pi). That was ages ago. But I was still starting out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes especially if you’re using DHCP on Pi-hole

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wolf Reboot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How much of that was seeing what all those decades actually DID, and a generation later realizing it needed to be changed.

  Still it’s crappy we are so crappy with our home. I do think we should work exceptionally hard to fix things here. Find real solutions to problems. Else what’s the point of going to other planets? We need those same skills to survive, terraform, geoengineer, know the potential for ecology, etc.

  I dunno, he gets treated like a ‘normie’ but continually surprised people who underestimate him.

  It wasn’t the best movie but not the worse. It has some fun moments. Made me want to watch Mr. Robot (only seen pieces).

  I just saw this movie.

  Tap for spoiler

  He blackmails his superiors to get training… he isn’t offered to get revenge on his wife’s killers. They laugh at him…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When they monitor what you watch and how you share it with, it’s enshittified. Fuck Plex. I used to be a lifetime drum thumper. Stopped a few years ago.

  Plex doesn’t care about you, your comfort, ease. It wants your money and it wants to monitor and control what you do with your own data.

  Fuck. That.

• ⁨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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 🎭

  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.

  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.
