- Comment on Thank G*d I grew up in the 90s. Everything is woke now. Smh my head 2 days ago:
Idk, I think it’s lupus.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 5 days ago:
I came to the same conclusion. I don’t doubt that sex is on the decline but whatever data this “Family Studies” collected to graph this is dubious at best. I think I saw a sample size of 2,000, but knowing this has some religious angle, they probably polled at church or something and are only interested in the procreation of the “right” people.
- Comment on Pentagon Warns Microsoft: Company’s Use of China-Based Engineers Was a “Breach of Trust” 5 days ago:
Totally agree, but at this point Microsoft is so ingrained in the US federal government that it’s practically a branch of it.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 6 days ago:
That sounds like a very functional and rational solution to the problem of age verification. But age verification isn’t the ultimate goal, it’s mass surveillance, which your solution doesn’t work for.

Lol, thanks for reminding me to make an auto apt tomorrow.
- Comment on how do you slice it?? 1 week ago:
I let one cut and the other gets to pick first.

Ya know my 2014 Chevy Cruze may be a shit box, but at least I don’t need a subscription to drive it. Plus it has physical buttons.
- Comment on Looking for an RSS aggregator/summarizer/maybe-LLM thing 1 week ago:
I’ve been really happy with fresh-rssFresh-RSS. Someone else on here put me onto about 6 months ago and it’s changed how I consume news.
I find the most time consuming part was/is curating my feed but with tools like RSS-Brige I can really get fine grain control on what makes it through.
On your LLM summarizer question, yes they have several plug-ins. I’ve recently started piping the whole feed into Gemini and telling it to pick the top 5 and summarize. But I do that in bash.
- Comment on Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server? 2 weeks ago:
I build smart playlists for Navidrome with Symfonium on Android or Feishen on desktop, then export to server to get them into Navidrome. I also have been playing around with local AI generating smart playlists with mixed success. The file structure is very simple.

Viruses, as far as the eye can see.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never heard of h2c but it seems useful. I use docker swarm with a few nodes. But for internal communication all the containers can communicate with each other using docker’s built-in DNS.
I run Traefik in front of Caddy for a few different applications including Nextcloud.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I also use Traefik, and once you have it set up it’s really great. Getting it set up is a different story. My advice would be to follow the install guide as closely as you can and don’t start adding to it until it’s stable.
You don’t need to own a domain to use a reverse proxy by the way, you just need to configure your router to recognize whatever domain you choose and route it to the container.
Lately, I’ve been playing around with Tailscale and you don’t even need a domain or open ports to connect to your containers from outside your local network.

- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 2 weeks ago:
Damn that hits the nail on the head. Especially that analogy of watching a robot lift weights on your behalf then claiming gains. It’s causing brain atrophy.
- Comment on Worst part about living in Europe 3 weeks ago:
As someone who’s lived on a cobblestone street before, it’s nice to look at, but a lot less functional than asphalt or concrete. Especially trying to walk home from the bar with a few drinks in you.
- Comment on Backblaze is slow for Nextcloud. Any recommendations for faster s3 compatible storage? 3 weeks ago:
Well I would recommend Akami/Linode because I’ve had some form of an instance for close to a decade and any downtime has been my own fault. I did just start playing with one of their premium compute linodes for some experiments. I have had Nextcloud in a shared resources node and it wasn’t bad, but it was slow. Currently I just run AIO on my home server mapped to the NAS for storage. If I set it up again I think I would do the same on Linode but it is pricey.
- Comment on Router suggestions for a complete noob 3 weeks ago:
Did you know openwrt makes their own router now. It’s called the openwrt one. They’re not had for the price, mines been pretty solid. And they have a bunch upgrade options.
- Comment on So long suckers! 5 weeks ago:
It was actually. You could see the Milky Way, I wish I had got pics. That same cruise we went directly over the Mariana trench as well.
- Comment on So long suckers! 5 weeks ago:
Been there, not much to see, honestly.
- Comment on Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slower 1 month ago:
I’m not really sure why it was such a small sample size. It definitely casts doubt on some of their conclusions. I also have issues with some methodology used. I think a better study that came out a week or two ago was the one that showed visible neurological decline from AI use.
- Comment on Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us? 1 month ago:
I think you’ve got a point. My initial thought was that because this platform is decentralized and there’s no Elon or Zuck at the helm, this isn’t applicable. But as you pointed out, the vast majority of users don’t interact or post anything, so that naturally amplifies the users who do, particularly if they have an agenda to push.
- Comment on came across some family heirlooms today, hahaha! 1 month ago:
Yeah, I guess if they would have framed it as one month free it wouldn’t sound as good. I remember using it and completely ignoring everything but the actual Internet. Trolling on AIM back in the day was pretty fun.

So they were just giving away America Online by the 700 hour quantity? I now blame AOL for more than I had previously considered.

- Comment on The System Wayfinder - (looking for feedback) 1 month ago:
Hey, cool idea! I’ve also got a bunch of dockers and services running on a swarm on multiple devices. Like any good project, it’s on it’s like 3rd or 4th iteration now, having run into some roadblock each time. I structure most of my services into stacks. For example, I have a stack for proxy, www, monitoring, and of course the 'ol arr stack. Anyways, I keep all my notes on the stack compose yaml files that seems to work for me. I only interact with docker on the cli because portainer wants me to pay to use docker swarm. But because I’m so adept at docker on the cli, I have recently stumbled across gemini-cli. Dude, having that to help trouble shoot docker stuff is amazing. It’s really good, but I’d keep it on a short leash.

Might be my imagination but I think Kirkland stuff has been declining in quality lately. The paper towels seem worse now, but I’m not sure how.
- Comment on We did it everyone, the future is here! 2 months ago:
Oh look it’s only $47,000 and not a monthly subscription, that’s quaint.
- Comment on xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier 2 months ago:
I have a separate IoT network. It’s basically just a guest wifi for IoT. Anything coming in on that network gets a VLAN tag and only previous & established connections can get out. Honestly, it’s kinda a pain in the ass with homeassistant because I keep HA on the other network so I have to manually find devices. It might be easier to just block it at the ip level or blacklist outgoing ip ranges to Tuya or whatever.
