Is it tosdr.org ?
- Comment on Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab? 4 months ago:
As a small homelabber I agree with this. I started with a baremetal and using Docker, and switched to Proxmox, and now over to Incus, actually currently I am using Debian with cockpit + cockpit-machines. I do like Incus, I keep hopping back and forth between cockpit, I need to settle on one.
- Comment on Do you encrypt your data drives? 6 months ago:
It’s a relatively low performance hit and it benefits me when having to replace a failing/old disk. I can just toss the drive without having to erase the data first, that is as long as the key is a secure length.

Quickly skimming the readme, it states:
- OAuth token spoofing: To circumvent rate limits imposed by Reddit, OAuth token spoofing is used to mimick the most common iOS and Android clients. While spoofing both iOS and Android clients was explored, only the Android client was chosen due to content restrictions when using an anonymous iOS client.
- Token refreshing: The authentication token is refreshed every 24 hours, emulating the behavior of the official Android app.
- HTTP header mimicking: Efforts are made to send along as many of the official app’s headers as possible to reduce the likelihood of Reddit’s crackdown on Redlib’s requests.

You can block instances. Go to settings, blocks, in block instance section search for the instance that you want to block.

Yeah, I originally was hoping for a singleplayer mode and realized that it didn’t have any way to reset player progress. Ubisoft needs to realize that MMOs aren’t meant to have sequals so often and are meant to support them for a long time and instead release expansions, look at Runescape, WoW, and Guild Wars 1 for examples.
- Comment on New home server: what hypervisor/OS? 8 months ago:
I recently switched from Proxmox to Debian Bookworm with Incus(LXD fork) as my primary setup, it’s been a pleasant experience. I also like the idea of using something like Cockpit to manage VMs though haven’t come to a need yet for a VM over a container.
Stéphane Graber, Project leader of Linux Containers is also on the fediverse and responds to questions often.
- Comment on From a previous thread it seems like a lot of you are running OpenWRT in some capacity. Here is the security advisory page. (Check it periodically) 9 months ago:
That’s a good recommendation, thanks!
There’s even an RSS feed for that page: openwrt.org/feed.php?mode=list&ns=advisory
- Comment on LinguaCafe - Confused why the provided docker-compose doesn't work. 9 months ago:
That error message says it the permissions of the
/home/user/Documents/Docker/LinguaCafe/logsdirectory. You can try changing it full r/w temporarily to test. - Comment on TrueNAS scale VMs unable to see/connect to the host and vice versa 10 months ago:
You will need to create a network bridge: www.truenas.com/docs/scale/…/accessingnasfromvm/
- Comment on Proper HDD clear process? 10 months ago:
While this wouldn’t work for you now, something to think about is encrypting new drives going forward so that you don’t have to worry about erasing/zeroing them, just toss the encryption key and your good to go.

According to them DuckDuckGo largely sources Bing, however they also have their own crawler called DuckDuckBot.
- Comment on Kids and teens are inundated with phone prompts day and night 1 year ago:
We can try to break it down a little. Work notifications are not very exciting, so it probably doesn’t give us a dopamine hit, however the notifications could be stressful if they are always about work and timelines. Study might be beneficial, it really depends on if it is a reminder or wants us to perform an action. Play varies widely, from a notification that a friend is or wants to play a game, to a developer has posted their weekly digest of what’s been happening, these tend to give us dopamine as well as they can be interesting to learn about what’s happening.

- Comment on Kids and teens are inundated with phone prompts day and night 1 year ago:
As an adult, we do too, and it also negatively impacts us. When I left the other social platforms I took the time to uninstall or disable many notifications, I now receive a total of 5 a day on average. It’s good to see these conversations happening though, whether we react and change though only time will tell.
- Comment on Focalboard administration 1 year ago:
I just spun a container up to test this, it disables the registration and only allows invites after the initial account has been created, it returns an error if someone accesses the registration page and tries to create an account, www.focalboard.com/guide/server-setup/#registerin…
There doesn’t appear to be anyway to manage users or non-owned boards, you can reset a user’s password through commands, www.focalboard.com/guide/admin/#resetting-passwor…
- Comment on Which domain name registrar should I use? 1 year ago:
I like that they show the team on the About Us page, always makes me trust companies more. I also like that they have fun with the branding and mascot.
- Comment on Which domain name registrar should I use? 1 year ago:
I’ve used Namecheap for several years, no problems experienced with it.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Since all of the Reddit changes happened I took the time to try and back away from social media as I had a sort of addiction and probably still do. Now I consume much of my social media in the form of RSS feeds, even took the time to add all of my YouTube subscriptions to a RSS feed reader and unsubscribed from channels that I felt were too clickbaity, don’t get me wrong there are a few I still follow.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
There are also some of us that are/were trying and experimenting with different types of the fediverse, such as Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Firefish, Pixelfed, etc. I have found myself gravitating toward Firefish, and Mastodon for the feed style, where as Lemmy, and Kbin are better as a forum or Pixelfed for image feeds.
- Comment on Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance? 1 year ago:
Take a look at RSS-Bridge and RSSHub. They provide feeds for many websites that don’t provide their own RSS feed.
- Comment on Is bit rot really a threat that I should worry about? 1 year ago:
Yeah, that’s kind of what I expected and I am now thinking of keeping my setup how it is currently and getting a mini PC for less important data and services to tinker with.
- Comment on Is bit rot really a threat that I should worry about? 1 year ago:
Thanks for the reassurance. What I currently have is exactly that, RAID for the local data, and a spare drive that is mounted and unmount when data is backed up, and that is rsynced offsite to a cloud provider. I figured that my current setup was really reliable as I had slowly been researching and working on this over a few years.
I have a sort of itch to play with a mini PC, I guess it would be best not to hurt any of my important data by downgrading the setup, however this is a good time to really sort and figure out what I need and is important and what isn’t as important and can be reobtained if something fails on the mini PC.
- Comment on Is bit rot really a threat that I should worry about? 1 year ago:
Thanks for that information about iSCSI, I hadn’t looked into it. I will probably just stick with my primary server for the moment, maybe rebuild it into a NAS, and than use mini PCs with it as the storage.
- Comment on Is bit rot really a threat that I should worry about? 1 year ago:
I guess, my primary concern was if I didn’t have the computer with ZFS(in my case btrfs but similar thing). Maybe it is for the best that I keep the raid setup to scrub and make sure important data is safe, and use the smaller single disk mini PC for services and data that isn’t as important.
- Comment on Is bit rot really a threat that I should worry about? 1 year ago:
That is a very good question, it makes me think of better organization for my data. Data such as task lists, and daily notes aren’t necessarily very important, while family photos and documents would be more important.

- Comment on that self hosted itch.... 1 year ago:
There was a point I had a minimum of one service from each category of the awesome-selfhosted repo. I’ve since scaled down to a more minimal approach, but still enjoy looking for new services to try out.
Monitoring is one that’s interesting, graphs can be fun to look at though, so Grafana for that, and it’s fun for family to see, even if they don’t exactly know what it means, lines and charts are pretty.
I have since setup most of my monitoring to only alert if there is something that is unusual or outside of some threshold. Previously I had it alert me when a process or script had finished, however it was too noisy, and instead now it checks to make sure the script succeeded and if it didn’t to alert me.
- Comment on Are people interested in multi-client stress tests on routers? 1 year ago:
Yeah, I spawn multiple instance of iperf3. Checking the latency would be a very useful metric, it should give a good result of what the connection will be like under load.
- Comment on Are people interested in multi-client stress tests on routers? 1 year ago:
When I run iPerf tests I almost always use multiple clients because of exactly what another comment said, it’s more realistic and a better representation.
