- Comment on China hits 1 TW solar milestone 5 days ago:
Seriously. Is that a real photo? I’ve never seen a solar farm covering hills like that.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok 6 days ago:
This is just vibe written fantasy fiction.
- Comment on Docker is renaming a mounted drive 2 weeks ago:
That’s a good theory. This may be able to be investigated further with

Old enough, as in “my infant is old enough to eat solid foods.”
- Comment on “Piracy is Piracy” – Disney and Universal team up to sue Midjourney 2 weeks ago:
But if both sides are your enemies, they’re both your friends.
Yes. And both of my friends will weaken both of my enemies.
- Comment on “Piracy is Piracy” – Disney and Universal team up to sue Midjourney 2 weeks ago:
The enemies of my enemies are my friends.

If your TV OS is old enough there is an API you can use. github.com/ow/samsung-frame-art
- Comment on Good experience with neko remote browser 4 weeks ago:
This was my first thought.
Next in line is
ssh -D 9999 remotehostwhich opens a socks5 proxy on localhost:9999 that tunnels all connections through the remote host. This is especially rad with proxy.pac …mozilla.org/…/Proxy_Auto-Configuration_PAC_fileAnd next in line is
ssh -L 9999:target_host:80(or whatever) which tunnels 127.0.0.1:9999 to target_host:80. - Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 4 weeks ago:
Rich people at tech companies replace workers with AI, set up a security force that goes after immigrants, surveil the city with a camera network, try to remove the human from the equation, try to upload human consciousness to the cloud, lots of other AI tech dystopian stuff.

I’ve been playing Watch Dogs Legion so I know how this ends.
- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 4 weeks ago:
Oooh yeah, dust off the hotline auto clickers.
- Comment on What's your recommendation for a small NAS? 4 weeks ago:
Personally I agree. I don’t use the SFF. oP asked for something tiny though.
- Comment on What's your recommendation for a small NAS? 4 weeks ago:
Lil Nas X totally sounds like it would be a valid answer here.
Get an old optiplex SFF off Craigslist for $200 and be done with it. Those things last so long, and since it’s commodity hardware you can replace individual components that break for not much money.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 4 weeks ago:
It makes me miss Fark. Does something like that exist on Lemmy?
- Comment on I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation 5 weeks ago:
I had a boring manufacturing job with long gaps between batches of work, so I read every help file in Windows NT4.1. While reading it, I found a way around our IT limitations on which apps we could run, and learned how to write scripts. So I wrote a password protected launcher tool using a macro feature in a terminal emulator I had access to on my workstation, and then started reading the man pages in Unix sys-V.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
This is interesting. I haven’t heard somebody use “Apache” as a reference to httpd in a long time due to the rise of nginx and because Apache.org does so much more than just httpd.
But I agree. Apache httpd 0.x was one of the softwares that first showed me how much better Linux is than Windows. IIS at the time was an insecure confusing monstrosity. I wonder if it still is.
- Comment on The latest viral ChatGPT trend is doing ‘reverse location search’ from photos 2 months ago:
Yeah. How do you think they trained it?
- Comment on Fixing an expired SSL certificate remotely 2 months ago:
I’m not aware of a way for it to notify if the internet is down. An expired certificate would not create that failure scenario though.
- Comment on Fixing an expired SSL certificate remotely 2 months ago:
It has a built in alerting mechanism. Also
Uptime Kuma is integrated Apprise which supports up to 78+ notification services.
- Comment on Fixing an expired SSL certificate remotely 2 months ago:
uptime-kuma will monitor your https availability and automatically check your cert expiration.
- Comment on Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is? 2 months ago:
All my coworkers. Full volume.
- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 2 months ago:
My experience running several ssh servers on uncommon nonstandard ports for over 10 years has been that it has eliminated all ssh brute forcing. I don’t even bother with fail2ban. I probably should though, just in case.
Also, PSA: if you use fail2ban, don’t try tab completing rsync commands without using
controlmasteror you will lock yourself out. - Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 2 months ago:
Can you explain why it’s not possible to stabilize the voltage on the receiving side before the power is sent to the battery?

You’ve never had to chase down a 1up mushroom?
- Comment on Brazilian court gives Apple 90 days to allow sideloading on iOS 3 months ago:
That’s the fast lane to having every company that values their IP exiting Brazil. Apple would roll their certificates and quit signing whatever Brazil was building with and Brazil’s economy would be way worse off for nothing.

No, it’s authentic.
- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 3 months ago:
Hosting the server is free. I’m actually not sure about windows because I don’t use that. We actually play on our iPads. We have a family set up. Pay once for the app, everybody gets to install it on their own device.
For free stuff I think people run Java edition? Again, I’ve never done that. There is an itzg Java server container github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server
