No trolling of Wallonia please.
- Comment on Suggestions for Community Organizing 1 week ago:
Wouldn’t they especially want a working communication channel in case there is an extended power outage?
- Comment on Suggestions for Community Organizing 1 week ago:
As a start it might be better to rent a VPS or so with a service that does backups etc for you. It will be hard to convince people to use it, and and issue like dataloss or longer downtimes will kill it for sure.
Also, a large rack server is total overkill for what you want with a few hundred members at most.
- Comment on 25.2% of energy EU used in 2024 came from renewables 1 week ago:
For total gross energy and not only electricity that is already pretty good 👍 Of course much more still needs to be done.

Cloudflare tunnel error 🤦
- Comment on How do you healthcheck your containers? 1 week ago:
With Podman and Quadlets you can use the same command to check on containers as well. The Systemd integration of Podman is pretty neat.
- Comment on Selfhosting with a seven year old 1 week ago:
No, Luanti is a platform for Minecraft like games, like a place to find lots of user generated games and such, I guess Roblox is a bit similar to that (I never tried Roblox, so I am guessing). It is also fairly easy to make your own games with it.
There are however games for Luanti that are very similar to Minecraft such as Voxelibre and Minecloina.
- Comment on Windows Marketshare since 2010 1 week ago:
Even if they sell like hot cakes relative to their intended audience of Steam users, it will not make much of a difference in overall market share. Steam might be relatively big with PC gamers, but overall they are rather tiny.
- Comment on How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P? 1 week ago:
While it isn’t easy for Matrix, running an quivalent XMPP server on Tor, I2P or similar is fairly well documented, and there are multiple such servers accessible both on the clearnet and Tor.
- Comment on Selfhosting with a seven year old 1 week ago:
I don’t get why people continue to recommend Minecraft when there is the much better open-source Luanti project: www.luanti.org
- Comment on Guarding My Git Forge Against AI Scrapers 2 weeks ago:
This is depressing. Profoundly depressing. i look at the statistics board for my reverse-proxy and i never see less than 96.7% of requests classified as bots at any given moment. The web is filled with crap, bots that pretend to be real people to flood you. All of that because i want to have my little corner of the internet where i put my silly little code for other people to see.
From the conclusion, and I feel exactly the same looking at my server logs.
- Comment on Nuclear and Fossil Fuels Join Forces to Undermine Renewables 2 weeks ago:
There arn’t really a lot of fossile fuel plants that are decomissioned before the end of their lifespan, so this is more more of an hypothetical solution for maybe sometimes in the future, all the while we continue burning fossile fuels. So basically it is an distraction from doing what is needed now.
And once a fossile fuel plant reaches the end of its lifespan the only usable things that are still there and can be reused is the electricity network connection. So those sites are good locations for cheap grid level battery storage (and maybe novel geothermal), but not small nuclear reactors that still need turbines and cooling towers etc.
- Comment on A Geothermal Company Wants to Use New Technology to Heat an Old German Town 3 weeks ago:
Nice to hear that they started operations now.
I found this bit interesting:
The Geretsried project will ultimately provide, in annual terms, 8.2 megawatts of electricity to the grid or about 64 megawatts of heating to the nearby town.
Emphasis mine… so I would guess they focus on electricity production during the summer months?
Such a close loop system has a bit of a low-grade waste heat problem during summer months though, even when using it to produce electricity. I guess we will see more heated public outdoor swimming pools again if this technology takes off.
- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 3 weeks ago:
Because there exists only one place in the world and that is called US of A? 🙄
Saudi Arabia is still the biggest oil exporter in the world (as of 2024). If you drive an internal combustion car anywhere, chances are high that you paid the Sheiks at least some money for doing so.
- Comment on Would a cheap, used raspberry pi 3 make for a good test server for following random self hosted tutorials? 3 weeks ago:
Don’t look online, ask friends and family if someone has an old laptop you can get for free. Very likely someone does, especially if you are ok with a bad battery and/or a broken screen.
A RPi3 can work, but it being ARM based will cause various headaches when learning compared to something x86.

I have bad news for you if you drive a non-electric car 😏

- Comment on Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing? 3 weeks ago:
Typically a video-chat server does no transcoding so this isn’t a major issue. But for hosting a Peertube or Owncast server it would.
- Comment on Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing? 3 weeks ago:
The old A/V chats in Matrix were just Jitsi-meet in disguise, but this has been largely deprechiated now with Element Calls.

- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 3 weeks ago:
Bitcoin and Ethereum only have liquidity in the market because scammers use it for their pig butchering etc. scams. And all the major exchanges are complicit in that. Many Banks are scammy, yes, but not that scammy by a long shot. Sorry to burst your bubble 🤷
- Comment on Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing? 3 weeks ago:
movim.eu can do that AFAIK, but for now the A/V calls don’t go through an SFU distribution server yet, so it will not scale to many participants. But if you want to only stream to a few people (like max. 5 or so, depends a bit on your and their internet speed) it should work.

If 99.9% of PCs were solely made to steal your credit card info, then yes.
- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 3 weeks ago:
I have high hopes for GNU Taler in that regard, as it is in theory super easy to include in any website and makes tipping small sums very feasible.
But in reality it is bogged down by bureocractic hurdles on the banking side, and I am starting to lose a bit of hope due to perpetual delays even after some banks promised to support it as part of an EU grant via Nlnet.

Open minded to being scammed? No thanks.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 3 weeks ago:
Lol, wat? I have not seen Anubis even once in front of a static page. You are either making shit up or don’t understand what a static site is 🤦
- Comment on The cloud is just someone else's computer, but the internet is just someone else's network 3 weeks ago:
Well… you found your problem then. It is neither my problem, nor a problem of apartments in general 🤷
- Comment on Self-hosting a Matrix server for 5 years 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that is a pretty realistic assessment, and the author should definitely try out Snikket (XMPP).
- Comment on Conntrack question 3 weeks ago:
You could enable Suricata on OPNsense, which will allow you to subscribe to some known attacker lists and so one. But the problem these days are mostly AI scrapers that usually don’t show up on these lists as they are not attackers per se, but just cause a lot of database load by probing every part of your web-applications.
