- Comment on Google To Allow Double Serving Ads. 3 days ago:
No advertising platform has any incentive to prevent bot traffic; they actively profit from ‘failing’ to prevent it.
- Comment on Best Back Up Solution For Multiple Servers 4 days ago:
I will always recommend Borg backup just because of it’s compression+de-duplication algorithms:
550gb of raw data, 18 historical backups going back over a year, only 400gb of disc space used to store them all…
You can backup directly to remote servers via ssh, nfs, or directly between two borg instances, optionally encrypted in transit and at rest.
Borg is a CLI tool normally, but there are a number of GUI frontends you can use if you really want: Vorta, BorgWeb, and BorgWarehouse for example. (I’ve not used any of these, just examples from a google search)

I don’t suppose you’d be up for a political assassination or two…?
Maybe go visit the Statue Of Liberty, before it gets melted down.
- Comment on How exactly are people lighting Teslas on fire? 1 week ago:
Sentry mode records to local storage. It’s pretty difficult to recover data from a pile of ashes.
- Comment on How do you like to transfer large files between friends across the internet? 2 weeks ago:
Create share links allowing anyone with the link (+ optional password) to browse and download individual files, or whole folder contents.
If someone needs to send me a file, I can create a user for them in a few seconds; so they can upload to that as well.
- Comment on Tesla Autopilot drives into Wile E Coyote fake road wall in camera vs lidar test 2 weeks ago:
No. He explicitly says ‘without even a slight tap on the breaks’ in the youtube video.
Then:
Here is the raw footage of my Tesla going through the wall. Not sure why it disengages 17 frames before hitting the wall but my feet weren’t touching the brake or gas.

- Comment on Tesla Autopilot drives into Wile E Coyote fake road wall in camera vs lidar test 2 weeks ago:
From the twitter footage:
This is from the first couple frames showing that Autopilot is enabled, just as the blue lines appeared on screen: 42mph displayed on the center console.
And from the youtube footage:
Again, from the first couple frames as Autopilot is enabled, just as the blue lines appear: 39mph displayed on the center console.
They are very very similar, but they do appear to be two different takes.
- Comment on Tesla Autopilot drives into Wile E Coyote fake road wall in camera vs lidar test 2 weeks ago:
As much as I like Mark, He’s got some explaining to do.
At 15:42 the center console is shown, and autopilot is disengaged before impact. It was also engaged at 39mph during the youtube cut, and he struck the wall at 42mph. (ie the car accelerated into the wall)
Mark then posted the ‘raw footage’ on twitter. This also shows autopilot disengage before impact, but shows it was engaged at 42mph. This was a seprate take.
- Comment on The ESP32 "backdoor" that wasn't | Dark Mentor LLC 3 weeks ago:
Potato, potato…
Whether we call them ‘undocumented commands’ or a ‘backdoor’, the affect is more or less the same; a series of high-level commands not listed within the specs, preventing systems engineers/designers from planning around vulnerabilities and their potential for malicious use.

I used to like KFC, particularly the popcorn chicken, but it’s declined quite a bit in the last 5-10 years.
- Comment on This speaks for itself 4 weeks ago:
I stopped when I got old enough to realize the only thing I actually liked about McDonalds was the play place.
Now I give it a try like once every 3-4 years to remind myself how much it sucks.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread 4 weeks ago:
I definitely recommend it, particularly using docker compose. It’s made it incredibly easy to add, remove, and modify software installs; keeping everything independent and isolated from each other.
This also makes backups and rolling back updates to individual projects much easier when you do run into problems.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread 4 weeks ago:
Hmm, I wonder if the failed updates are only direct installs vs docker.
I run two piholes, a primary on a rpi 3b running pios, and a secondary on my main server. Both are installed via docker and both updated without issue (besides the password thing).
I like having the primary DNS on a separate machine; it’s kind of important and I like to mess with the main server a lot…
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread 4 weeks ago:
Interesting; I’ll definitely have to keep that in mind. Much cheaper than getting basically a whole new set of hdds at almost $30/tb (new nas-grade drives, not referbs).
Thanks!
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread 4 weeks ago:
What hardware are you using to read/write tape, and what does that cost you?
I’ve got around 30tb that I need to shift off of a Drobo at some point so I can repurpose the drives into a proper RAID setup that isn’t a closed source black-box from a dead company (that was a poor choice, 6 years ago 🙁). Keeping an eye out for solutions for when I get around to fixing that mess.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread 4 weeks ago:
I wonder why so many people had issues with the v6 pihole update.
I pulled the new docker container and it ran overtop the previous version just fine. The only issue I had was I had the admin password set to empty via an env variable and that variable name changed. Took like 10 min to find and fix. The rest migrated perfectly.
Now I’m just waiting on orbital-sync to add v6 support, but that’s just around the corner and not that critical.
- Comment on How do you keep track of vulnerabilities? 4 weeks ago:
95% of things I just don’t expose to the net; so I don’t worry about them.
Most of what I do expose doesn’t really have access to any sensitive info; at most an attacker could delete some replaceable media. Big whoop.
The only thing I expose that has the potential for massive damage is OpenVPN, and there’s enough of a community and money invested in that protocol/project that I trust issues will be found and fixed promptly.
Overall I have very little available to attack, and a pretty low public presence. I don’t really host any services for public use, so there’s very little reason to even find my domain/ip, let alone attack it.
- Comment on Is this massive difference to be expected? 4 weeks ago:
Looking at openspeedtests github page, this immediately sticks out to me:
Warning! If you run it behind a Reverse Proxy, you should increase the post-body content length to 35 megabytes.
- Comment on which softwares can I self host without public IP? 5 weeks ago:
Should check which ports.
Mine blocks 80 inbound and 24 outbound, but everything else I’ve tried works.
I only really want 443 for simplicity, everything else can be random ports.
- Comment on which softwares can I self host without public IP? 5 weeks ago:
Public IPV4 here. It’s not static, but very rarely rotates. DDNS ftw.

- Comment on Pi-Hole question regarding unbound and cloudflared 5 weeks ago:
DoH on the lan between devices is completely pointless; I’m talking about DoH between the lan and external dns which unbound does NOT do.
- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 5 weeks ago:
This part always confuses me, so I won’t be able to give specifics; just a general direction. Most guides explain how to route traffic from a vpn client to the lan of the vpn host. You need to route traffic from the vpn host/lan to a client of the vpn.
You need to change the routing table on the VPS, add8ng a static route to route traffic for your VPNs subnet to the VPN network interface instead of the default gateway.
How exactly to do that I’ll have to leave to someone else unfortunately. Network config confuses the hell out of me.
- Comment on Pi-Hole question regarding unbound and cloudflared 5 weeks ago:
I prefer cloudflared myself.
While unbound requests its answers from the authoritative servers for each domain; it does so using regular DNS queries, so it’s susceptible to monitoring and modification like any other DNS request. While adding latency by extending that request to several servers, instead of a single trusted provider.
That doesn’t really seem beneficial to me. I’d rather use DOH.
- Comment on Pi-Hole question regarding unbound and cloudflared 5 weeks ago:
Many people advocate for Cloudflared as a tunneling solution, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all tool. Personally, I avoid it. Your VPS already functions as a firewall for your connection. Using Tailscale is also self-host and avoids reliance on third-party services like Cloudflare while maintaining security and the same functionality.
OPs not using cloudflareds tunneling or services at all; in this application, it’s purely a local tool for translating regular DNS to DOH using the chosen DOH provider. Mullvad in this case.
- Comment on Immich: opinion revised 5 weeks ago:
How well does it do with text in images?
I often find searching for things like ‘horse’ will do a decent job bringing up images of horses, but will often miss images containing the word ‘horse’.
- Comment on Immich: opinion revised 5 weeks ago:
I’m curious;
Which ML CLIP model did you go with, and how accurate are you finding the search results?
I found the default kinda sub-par, particularly when it came to text in images.
Switched to “immich-app/XLM-Roberta-Large-Vit-B-16Plus” and it’s improved a bit; but I still find the search somewhat lacking.

- Comment on Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations 5 weeks ago:
That is one beefy fan for a rpi.
I’ve just got a case similar to this; but all snap together, no screws: Image
The fan runs off the pin headers. Meant for 5v, but I use the 3.3v line to run it a little quieter/slower.
Even that makes a good 10°c difference.
- Comment on Docker Hub limiting unauthenticated users to 10 pulls per hour 5 weeks ago:
I’m running ~30 containers, but they don’t typically all get new updates at the same time.
Updates are grabbed nightly, and I think the most I’ve seen update at once is like 6 containers.
Could be a problem for setting up a new system, or experimenting with new toys.
