- Comment on Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why 5 days ago:
This is what made me stop using Google Photos and start self hosting Immich. I lost a video from my house construction that showed where the cables were exactly laid.
- Comment on Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source 5 days ago:
Wow, I never thought about storing build data in an SQLite file. That’s quite clever.
- Comment on How are people discovering random subdomains on my server? 6 days ago:
Easily verified by creating another bunch of domains and using a browser that doesn’t do tracking - like waterfox
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 6 days ago:
I’ve been seeing articles like these for the past at least 10 years, it is always “New China brrakthrough, can make drinkable water from enriched uranium” or some shit. It is never scalable, sustainable, or usable, and is never really widely, used or adopted. It is always technology, pharmaceutics, construction, or energy related.
They like to fake their image to the world and have been trying for very long. The only thing they succeeded at larger scale is oppresion, tracking of people, and selling knockoffs. Of course, mass manufacturing cannot be omitted.

True, anyone can do anything, but try doing that while having a family and having to pay bills when living paycheck to paycheck. You gotta know when to join in and when to cheer.
- Comment on AI-generated code contains more bugs and errors than human output 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been using it to code a microservice as PoC for semantic search. As I’ve basically never coded Python (mainly PHP, but can do many langs) I’ve had to rely on AI (Kimi K2, or agentic Claude I think 4.5 or 4, can’t remember) because I don’t know the syntax, features, best practices, and tools to use for formatting, static analysis, and type checks.
Mind you, I’ve basically never coded in Python besides some shit in uni, which was 5-10 years ago. AI was a big help - albeit it didn’t spit out fully working code, I have enough knowledge in this field to fix the issues. As I learn mainly by practice and not theory, AI is great because - same as many YouTubers and free tutorials - it spits out unoptimized and broken code.
I am usually not using it for my main line of work (PHP) besides some boiler plate (take this class, make a test, make it look the same as this other test = 300 lines I don’t have to write myself).
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 4 weeks ago:
I don’t like honey much - the taste, that is. But I use it to sweeten tea or curd (with raspberries or banana, for breakfast)

Worst thing is, they don’t make that much more money than some repeatable manual labor, but instead of being useful to the society, they help destroy it.
Internet was a mistake.
- Comment on Tutorial series for self hosting beginners? 1 month ago:
I use a similar setup with Traefik instead of Nginx PM, and Headscale instead of Tailscale. It is almost the same kind of setup.
- Comment on Tutorial series for self hosting beginners? 1 month ago:
You basically never want to expose your local network to the internet. The most secure and simple way are either Tailscale or WireGuard combined with a VPS that is exposed to the internet and takes all the beating.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 1 month ago:
I do, and always will. Hopefully more studios will split into smaller ones and start making small, simple games for $15 that will sell like hotcakes. Creative talent is simply wasted on this AAA slop.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 1 month ago:
Oh it’s never about that. You can’t milk a game that lives for free. Although they pay for publicity (ads, etc.), getting it for free means less cash flow, means less numbers on quarterly earnings, means less investor money.
It is always about the number on their bank account, never about you, me, or anyone else. They don’t give a flying fuck, they’d happily let us burn in a house fire if it meant just a teensy bit more dollars.
Fuck Sony, Nintendo, EA, Ubisoft, ActiBlizzosoft, and the rest of them.

Kagi gang here. For whoever debating of it is worth the price - go for it. Worst thing that can happen is you lost like $5. Or, for tech savvy people, go for SearXNG.
- Comment on YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port. 2 months ago:
Use a knife to thin it. I used to have a box of thin ones, but had to buy larger sturdier round ones, so last time I just sharpened it with a knife and it worked like a charm.
- Comment on Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition 2 months ago:
Open-source and source-available are used interchangeably. Releasing the source does not mean the license will allow any form of redistribution or recompilation.
If you decompile the game yourself you can infinitely distribute the game as well. This is not an argument.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Super easy with Docker, and also quite portable. Usually is a copy paste and minor changes that irk me, but now I don’t have to explain my family what are torrents, how are torrents, what is a tracker, give them my credentials, and teach them to SSH to the server in order to copy a file let alone show them how to properly name it in order for Jellyfin to correctly recognize it.
All I have to do is log them in the app once, and tell them "If you want a movie, find it here, and it will probably be available in Jellyfin in and hour or two.
- Comment on Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia 3 months ago:
Their AI is pretty good, both assistant and search summaries. Been using it extensively as it actually provides correct and objective information (at least more often than others). It is also privacy-first, so you don’t get those annoying personality shifts as with like GPT.

- Comment on I see your canal, and raise you a water bridge 3 months ago:
Boat displacement is the amount of water the boat displaces while floating. It is equal to boat weight.
So, if you put a 100 ton boat in enclosed bowl, you will of course get 100 tons more on a scale. However, if you do the same with a large surface body of water (river, lake, ocean), the water will be displaced equally over a large surface area, thus distributing the weight. You still get 100 tons more, but less over the are “under” the boat.

Not gonna lie, he totally looks like someone who was picked up randomly on the street, given uniform, and told to “do as I say”.
- Comment on Reddit Mods Sued by YouTuber Ethan Klein Fight Efforts to Unmask Them 3 months ago:
Both sides have waaay over-exaggerated it. Ethan said there is shit everywhere while he probably meant that there is just poop on the floor because it is a puppy, and Denimz though there is uncleaned shit everywhere and did the first thing her tiny-ass brain though to do.
This is on Ethan for giving the other side a loaded gun and begging them to shoot him.
As far as I don’t think the CPS call should be suable, the copyright definitely is.

I said not necessarily, not that its impossible. Strive for gayness and ye shall be the gayest, albeit for a fleeting moment.
- Comment on If sexuality is a spectrum, does that mean one person is the gayest? 3 months ago:
Not necessarily. You might never be the gayest person on Earth (at one given moment), but there was (or will be) the gayest moment you ever were.
