- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse
TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern “social” media works, it’s the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon
Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can’t really get addicted to fedi
I wasn’t really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn’t like it much.
I don’t know why but “the algorithm” is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely “fake”. Other sorting methods like “new” or “by most active” just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard

- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 1 month ago:
Yeah that sucks. Mine has 128 GB internal and I added a 128 GB SD to store my music and (temporarily) store my movies which are normally stored in a HDD
I like the freedom of streaming anywhere without buffering while not worrying about mobile data quotas

I do have a jellyfin server but I just store my FLACs on my phone. They are 15 GBs anyways which is pretty much nothing

- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 1 month ago:
I love big phones though. Smaller ones feel too claustrophobic to me
Also, from a usabity point of view, bigger screens are better for watching videos in landscape, editing text and it’s easier to use the gestures and the keyboard (I don’t even have fat fingers). I think only downside is ring and pinky fingers hurting after a while because of the weight

ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works
I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3. Some of them even contained function names which didn’t exist in any version of GTK
- Comment on Firebrick thermal energy storage could reach 170 GW in the U.S. by 2050 1 month ago:
This seems like a stupid idea at first but it’s actually amazing. They mix high resistance metals into bricks so the bricks can conduct electricity and heat up while doing that. I’m gonna drop these papers here. First one is more of a brief intro and the second one is about practicality of such systems
- Comment on Which Countries Have The Most Data Centers? 1 month ago:
I think rMax is the maximum stable speed (or average speed) and rPeak is the maximum short “burst” speed?
Though I’m mostly speculating based on how most silicon chips behave under load

- Comment on Free encrypted read-only cloud storage with cancelled google drive and rclone? 2 months ago:
I made a 100GB alt account and uploaded 25GB of files through an encrypted mount. We’ll see what happens when I cancel it tomorrow
- Comment on Free encrypted read-only cloud storage with cancelled google drive and rclone? 2 months ago:
Yup I know I am the product. That’s why we are encrypting everything with AES256 before upload using rclone’s crypt remote
I just don’t trust any cloud provider tbh. Performance hit from AES256 is very insignificant and it provides solid privacy regardless of provider. Might as well get the cheap one
Possibility of Google keeping API access up after cancellation is why I asked this question. To learn what happens when to rclone Google drive mount after an expiration
- Comment on Free encrypted read-only cloud storage with cancelled google drive and rclone? 2 months ago:
Well, my VPS is used mainly by my friends for Minecraft servers, collaboration, file sharing, streaming and pretty much everything cloud related
Most of them live in Istanbul and my VPS provider is one of the most reliable and affordable providers located in Istanbul.
Unfortunately, Hertzner doesn’t work for me because their prices are astronomical for me compared to Google’s regional pricing for Turkey (40TL/mo = 1.1USD/mo for 2TB)

For this to happen, everyone using the internet should know HTML or there has to be a easy to use, MS Word-like web designer. And there should also be easy to use, free web hosting providers (neocities exists).
Owning a website as a non-techie should be normalized and be portrayed as “cool”
- Comment on GitHub - timelinize/timelinize: Store your data from all your accounts and devices in a single cohesive timeline on your own computer 2 months ago:
It is dockerized but that doesn’t really matter since the DB which is probably one of the most private things on your server is also stored in the container. So a hacker who got into the container can steal your timelinize DB
Your best bet is running this LAN-only but that kind of destroys the whole point of it. This thing should never be connected to the internet
