- Comment on Cloudflare plans marketplace to sell permission to scrape websites 5 days ago:
They’re already ignoring robots.txt, so I’m not sure why anyone would think they won’t just ignore this too. All they have to do is get a new IP and change their useragent.

Is there a reason to over AdGuard Home or Pihole?

Another lemmy echo chamber…
Sounds like you maybe just have a habit of entering conversations on topics you don’t know much about (and in this case self-admittedly don’t even care about), so you get a lot of people who are more informed and do care expressing their disagreement with you?
Have you considered just not doing that?

This is already implemented on a lot of the settings pages on 11.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 1 month ago:
There’s no EULA just like there’s no NDA. That pop up and a one sentence post about not sharing info about the game on the forum is all there is.
- Comment on The Verge Under Fire For Publishing Info About ‘Deadlock,’ Valve’s Secret Shooter 1 month ago:
There is no NDA for Deadlock, and anyone in it can invite anyone they want, as often as they want. It’s not like Valve has no idea how to privately test their game. I think they made these decisions deliberately.

lol I would open every port on my router and route them all to wireguard before I would ever consider doing this
- Comment on How to make my server reachable 1 month ago:
I use Nextcloud with Nginx Proxy Manager and just use NPM to handle the reverse proxy, nothing in NPM other than adding the domain to the config so it’s trusted.
I use Plex instead of Jellyfin, but I stream it through NPM with no issues. I can’t speak to the tunnel though, I prefer a simple wireguard tunnel for anything external so I’ve never tried it.

I have a feeling the people making fiber internet faster aren’t the same people installing it in neighborhoods.

The product was an LLM.
- Comment on Proton releases a self-custody bitcoin wallet | Proton Wallet is open source and has been audited by a third-party firm, the company said 2 months ago:
I never switched to Proton for exactly this reason. I’d much rather use a service that does one thing really well than one that does 20 things okay.
It’s all just to keep you locked into your subscription. Now they want you to keep other money tied up in it too.
- Comment on Proxmox bind mounts is a nightmare for user permissions 2 months ago:
The issue is that the docker container will still be running as the LXC’s root user even if you specify another user to run as in the docker compose file or run command, and if root doesn’t have access to the dir the container will always fail.
The solution to this is to remap the unprivileged LXC’s root user to a user on the Proxmox host that has access to the dir using the LXC’s config file, mount the container’s filesystem using pct mount, and then chown everything in the container owned by the default root mapped user (100000).
These are the commands I use for this: find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type f -exec chown username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type d -exec chown username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -user 100000 -type l -exec chown -h username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type f -exec chown :username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type d -exec chown :username {} +; find /var/lib/lxc/xxx/rootfs -group 100000 -type l -exec chown -h :username {} +
(Replace xxx with the LXC number and username with the host user/UID)
If group permissions are involved you’ll also have to map those groups in the LXC config, create them in the LXC with the corresponding GIDs, add them as supplementary groups to the root user in the LXC, and then add them to the docker compose yaml using group_add.
It’s super confusing and annoying but this is the workflow I’m using now to avoid having to have any resources tied up in VMs unnecessarily.
- Comment on Server HDD selction 2 months ago:
I’ve been doing this for at least a decade now and the drives are just as reliable as if you bought them normally. The only downside is having to block one of the pins on the SATA connector with kapton tape for it to work.
- Comment on Should I use a reverse proxy in a homelab? 2 months ago:
I like the workflow of having a DNS record on my network for *.mydomain.com pointing to Nginx Proxy Manager, and just needing to plug in a subdomain, IP, and port whenever I spin up something new for super easy SSL. All you need is one let’s encrypt wildcard cert for your domain and you’re all set.
- Comment on [Help] I can't make Radarr's hardlink work 2 months ago:
IIRC from running into this same issue, this won’t work the way you have the volume bind mounts set up because it will treat the movies and downloads directories as two separate file systems, which hardlinks don’t work across.
If you bind mounted /media/HDD1:/media/HDD1 it should work, but then the container will have access to the entire drive. You might be able to get around that by running the container as a different user and only giving that user access to those two directories, but docker is also really inconsistent about that in my experience.

lol Japan invents the three major optical disc storage mediums that became ubiquitous and their government says fuck that and just keeps on using floppy disks
- Comment on [Beginner] Proxmox & storage configuration 2 months ago:
If you want Proxmox to dynamically allocate resources you’ll need to use LXCs, not VMs. I don’t use VMs at all anymore for this exact reason.

How hard could it be to maintain a steam store page on your own? Seems like a weird reason to just completely stop taking in revenue for something you created.
- Comment on Remote IT management provider TeamViewer says it has been hacked, allegedly Russian state hackers from APT29 2 months ago:
RDP does not fill the same role as Teamviewer at all. The M$ alternatives would be Quick Assist or the older MSRA.
- Comment on China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report 2 months ago:
America didn’t drop anything because they weren’t saying it in the first place, the Soviets were. America also aren’t the ones that coined a new phrase for it, British royalists were, who probably had no knowledge of the Russian phrase. All of this was explained in the article you linked.
- Comment on China is attempting to mirror the entire GitHub over to their own servers, users report 2 months ago:
1.it’s a euphemism for “And You Are Lynching Negroes” - that’s literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism
lol who do you think was saying this, and how is “whataboutism” in anyway of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?

- Comment on OpenAI and Anthropic are ignoring an established rule that prevents bots scraping online content 2 months ago:
Am I missing something in this article? I’m not defending either company, but it doesn’t seem like they actually have any evidence to confirm either is doing this.
The world’s top two AI startups are ignoring requests by media publishers to stop scraping their web content for free model training data, Business Insider has learned.
It claims this, but then they say this about the source of this info:
TollBit, a startup aiming to broker paid licensing deals between publishers and AI companies, found several AI companies are acting in this way and informed certain large publishers in a Friday letter, which was reported earlier by Reuters. The letter did not include the names of any of the AI companies accused of skirting the rule.
So their source doesn’t actually say which companies are doing this, but then they jump straight into this:
AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic, are simply choosing to “bypass” robots.txt in order to retrieve or scrape all of the content from a given website or page.
So they’re just concluding that based on nothing and reporting it as fact?
- Comment on Indie games using retro graphics 3 months ago:
I’m playing through Turbo Overkill right now which has the high-poly model and smooth animations but gritty low-res texture thing going on, and I like it. I’d take stylized textures that are visually interesting over boring photorealistic textures in most cases.
Nightdive’s System Shock remake is probably my favorite example of that same aesthetic.
- Comment on A guide to passing GPUs through to Proxmox, XCP-ng VMs 3 months ago:
That I’m not sure of. My proxmox host is headless and none of my containers have a GUI so I haven’t tried.
- Comment on A guide to passing GPUs through to Proxmox, XCP-ng VMs 3 months ago:
You can also pass the GPU to multiple LXCs that will share it vs it being tied to a single VM. I use VMs as little as possible in Proxmox these days.
- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 4 months ago:
I’m not an expert on this by any means, but I think the issue is they would have to work out how to encode the audio for surround themselves, and then it would be up to all of the different AV receivers out their to decode it properly. Using Dolby just standardizes it to where if your receiver supports that format you know it’ll decode it properly.
- Comment on WTF is wrong with Killing Floor 2? 4 months ago:
I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt like this. I kept thinking maybe I just wasn’t giving it a fair chance but I loved KF1 and was immediately put off by KF2.
I felt the same way about Red Orchestra 2 to a much lesser extent. I was super hyped about Tripwire overall at the time and thought it was awesome a mod team was getting funding to make the full-scale games they wanted, and they basically just immediately lost all momentum after that.
- Comment on New Doom Game Could Be Announced At Xbox Showcase In June 4 months ago:
The lore and plot was ridiculous though. Way overdone, didn’t feel like doom.
As opposed to a screen dissolve followed by a wall of text? I thought it was fine.
I didn’t finish the DLC if it started going off the rails there, though.
