- Comment on To install a new outlet with a dedicated circuit do they have to cut the drywall all the way from the electrical panel to the outlet? 3 days ago:
That’s not a simple question to answer.
The electrician will have to fish wire through the walls between the new outlet and the panel.
Depending on the construction and the specific path, they may only have to cut a couple small holes and feed wire between them, or they may have to cut several to get past studs and navigate obstacles; but generally they shouldn’t need to open the entire wall/path. There will definitely be some cutting, it just depends on the job how much exactly.
Retrofitting new circuits can be super quick and easy, or it can be a massive headache. It’s varies quite a bit.
- Comment on Searching through a bulk of pdf files 1 week ago:
That’s a neat little tool that seems to work pretty well. Turns out the files I thought I’d need it for already have embedded OCR data, so I didn’t end up needing it. Definitely one I’ll keep in mind for the future though.
- Comment on Searching through a bulk of pdf files 1 week ago:
That works magnificently. I added -l so it spits out a list of files instead of listing each matching line in each file, then set it up with an alias. Now I can ssh in from my phone and search the whole collection for any string with a single command.
Thanks again!
- Comment on Searching through a bulk of pdf files 1 week ago:
Interesting; that would be much simpler. I’ll give that a shot in the morning, thanks!

- Comment on Plex server patching required 1 week ago:
Yeah, you’re home server is still able to reach plex.tv so there’s no problem there.
It’s people actually hosting there that got screwed over.
- Comment on Plex server patching required 1 week ago:
Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can’t reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 2 weeks ago:
A smart TV is primarily a surveillance device that also happens to display video.
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, thermodynamics are a thing. I’m not trying to claim some free energy system saying you could power the whole data center; but if you could re-capture some of the waste heat and convert it back into electricity, putting that energy to work instead of just venting to atmosphere, it could potentially help offset some of the raw electrical needs. An efficiency improvement, that’s all.
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 3 weeks ago:
Collect and condense the hot water vapor, concentrate the heat until you’ve got steam; then pump it through a steam turbine recapturing that energy as electricity.
I’m sure there’s some difficulties and nuances I’m not seeing right away, but it would be nice to see some sort of system like this. Most power plants generate heat, then turn that into electricity. Data centers take electricity and turn it back into heat. There’s gotta be a way to combine the two concepts.
- Comment on Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber. 3 weeks ago:
Intentionally defacing/altering currency is a federal offence in itself. Though rarely enforced unless particularly egregious or you intend to defraud someone with it (like altering a 10 to be a 100 for example).
Aside from that, any business you attempted to spend it at could and likely would simply refuse to accept it.
At best you’d be left with a bunch of bills that can only really be exchanged for new ones at a bank. At worst you could face roughly $100 in fines+6mo in jail for each bill defaced.
- Comment on Password manager by Amazon 5 weeks ago:
You’ve always got the human element, bypassing security features; but extra little hurdles like a password manager refusing to autofill an unknown url is at least one more opportunity for the user to recognize that something’s wrong and back away.

- Comment on VERY simple web-based reliable file browser/hosting 1 month ago:
Note; that project is no longer being maintained.
github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/…/4906
There is a fork working it’s way out of beta though.
- Comment on VERY simple web-based reliable file browser/hosting 1 month ago:
You have to explicitly enable directory indexing; but then it will automatically generate simple http pages listing directory contents.
- Comment on 7-Zip for Windows goes massively parallel with first ‘Threadripper Edition’ — five years after Threadripper debut, Version 25.00 the first to support more than 64 threads 1 month ago:
What in the fuck are you (un)packing that needs 64+ threads???
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 1 month ago:
An $11/yr domain pointed at my IP. Port 443 is open to nginx, which proxies to the desired service depending on subdomain. (and explicitly drops any connection that uses my raw ip or an unrecognized name to connect, without responding at all)
ACME.sh automatically refreshes my free ssl certificate every ~2months via DNS-01 verification and letsencrypt.
And finally, I’ve got a dynamic IP, so DDClient keeps my domain pointed at the correct IP when/if it changes.
There’s also pihole on the local network, replacing the WAN IP from external DNS, with the servers local IP, for LAN devices to use. But that’s very much optional, especially if your router performs NAT Hairpinning.
This setup covers all ~24 of the services/web applications I host, though most other services have some additional configuration to make them only accessible from LAN/VPN despite using the same ports and nginx service. I can go into that if there’s interest.
Only Emby/Jellyfin, Ombi, and Filebrowser are made accessible from WAN; so I can easily share those with friends/family.

You can use cloudflares DNS and not use their WAF (the proxy bit) just fine. I have been for almost a decade.

- Comment on Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weapon 2 months ago:
The thing is, until someone actually faces any consequences in modern times for atrocities such as these; simply saying how bad they are has become meaningless.
- Comment on PSA: filebrowser is no longer being actively developed 2 months ago:
I’m not sure whether this is specific to this project, docker, or YAML in general.
Looking through my other 20 or so compose files, I use the array notation for most of my environment variables, but I don’t have any double quotation marks elsewhere. Maybe they’re not supposed to work in this format, idk.
Good to keep in mind I guess.
- Comment on PSA: filebrowser is no longer being actively developed 2 months ago:
Dev replied to my github discussion.
Apparently it’s an issue with array style env variable layout.
environment: key:"value"
Instead of
environment: - key=value
- Comment on PSA: filebrowser is no longer being actively developed 2 months ago:
Trying to set that up to try out, but I can’t get it to see/use my config.yaml.
/srv/filebrowser-new/data/config.yaml
volumes:
- /srv/filebrowser-new/data:/config environment:
- FILEBROWSER_CONFIG=“/config/config.yaml”
Says ‘config.yaml’ doesn’t exist and will not start. Same thing if I mount the config file directly, instead of just its folder.
If I remove the env var, it changes to “could not open config file ‘config.yaml’, using default settings” and starts at least. From there I can ‘ls -l’ through docker exec and see that my config is mounted exactly where it’s supposed to be ‘/config/config.yaml’ and has 777 perms, but filebrowser insists it doesn’t exist…
My config is just the example for now.
I don’t understand what I could possibly be doing wrong.
- Comment on Syncthing alternatives 2 months ago:
FolderSync selectively syncs files/folders from my phone back to my server via ssh. Some folders are on a schedule, some monitor for changes and sync immediately; most are just one-way, some are two-way (files added to the server will sync back to the phone as well as uploading data to the server). There’s even one that automatically drops files into paperless-ngx’ consume folder for automatic document importing.
From there BorgBackup makes a daily backup of the data, keeping historical backups for years with absolutely incredible efficiency. I currently have 21 backups of about ~550gb each. Borg stores this in 447gb of total disc space.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 2 months ago:
That’s another option. Sometimes there is no valve immediately beside the toilet, sometimes it’s crusty af and won’t turn or seal. This can be quicker.
- Comment on If I donate my testicles as a donor for whatever reason, and they have a child, is that child mine? 2 months ago:
Genetically, yes technically.
Legally and Morally, no; and you’d be a complete asshole for trying to insert yourself into the childs life in any way. You gave up that ‘right’ when you donated your sperm/testicles.
