- Comment on Is Twingate good for remote access to a selfhosted Nextcloud server? 2 days ago:
Honestly not having a static public ip address would be a dealbreaker for me, reason to change isp.
But thats not always an option.
My old isp got a new ip every full modem reboot and a way i used to circumvent this is with duckdns. It’s a free dns service i used before i had money to pay for my own domain.
If i recall correctly they have a desktop tool that connects to your account that scans for your current dynamic public ip and then updates it for your freesubdomainname.duckdns.org which is what you use to connect.

Well said.
Did they ever give any reason why they even consider it an acceptable thing to do?
Imagine making an art piece to be displayed in a museum only to find they allowed an interim with next to zero experience to paint over it.

Because people are not taught the basics off Lan network va Wan network.
During the aws outage i heard multiple people be upset with their isp because “the wifi is broken”

I never heard if twingate but i see no reason why not to selfhost Wireguard.
Its a proven open source vpn.
As far as a little research went. Tailgate is proprietary software and caters to enterprises, it has some open source alternatives that have a similar functionality. Most if them using Wireguard under the hood. Look for tailspin/headspin or netbird.

Supposedly Australian aboriginal groups have lived in the same region for 40k+ years.
They have regional consistency, genetic continuity over which culture gradually evolved each generation.
Does that count?
- Comment on Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug 5 days ago:
I don’t know the type of flashes causes by this glitch but the post specifically warns for epilepsy.
That part of the post might be wrong, that’s completely fair and i trust you have less to gain from lying.
Though my point is, if it is dangerous. What are they supposed to look out for? The “recommendation” should be google stop doing this shit.
- Comment on Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug 5 days ago:
If you have epilepsy, watch out so you don’t randomly see something that could potentially kill you.
Great job google.

My wallet was a gift and has way more sentimental value the money is relatively replaceable.
Also nice subtle advertising for the artists more “mature” work.
- Comment on The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds 6 days ago:
Ah i completely missed that context.
I thought we were just discussing consumer subscriptions. I don’t often think about corporate entities as customers because often the product is a complete different class i don’t qualify for and i have radically position on economic organisations
Interesting thing i just found out is my internet providers has a plan for business which is identical to the one i own except its cheaper and doubles the upload capacities.

Don’t worry, i still get trapped in the same biases at times.
I used to make fun of bottled egg liquids till someone accurately pointed out that for some cracking an egg is a real obstacle.

I don’t need one but i know plenty of old/disabled people for who a straw is a necessity.
I am happy we moved away from plastic straws being mainstream but i also feel like there should have been possible exceptions for medical use. The paper and aluminium alternatives are really not that good.

I get it but its rather ableist.
Also you never tried drinking from a fast food drink cup full of ice. Freezes your damn lips.
- Comment on The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds 1 week ago:
Must be different requirements indeed. But yours don’t sound like typical consumer requirements. Why do we need the same scale as a large corporation?
Me and a few of my friends all work in IT and each have a dedicated proxmox machine that runs all of these things just fine. Nextcloud has so far only failed me once when i needed it and it was actually a cloudflare issue.
Navidrome i use all day every day and need accessible from anywhere. I have not updated or checked the container since setup and it has been stable as a rock. Fuck spotify which doesn’t have the bootlegs i listen to anyway.
The endgoal, which i archived is that i have no need for subscriptions and actually own my data which is the point right?
My actual hobbyist goal is to create something that can persist locally if the internet one day disappears.

My jellyfin can stream 4K just fine, even remotely through a vpn so i am not sure what you mean.
Without transcoding you might require a gpu but still not a standard “gaming spec” pc cant handle.
Come to think of it, my internet provider does allow upload up to 25mb/s and this is the highest end available for consumers in my area. Technically thats a subscription but realistically its bill similar to water/electricity.
The upload limit is also purely and artificial cap, they could easily quadruple it if they wanted.
- Comment on The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds 1 week ago:
What kind of subscriptions require large infrastructure?
Music/media/cloudstorage can all run on a single pc/server costing maybe half a day of setting it up by most people at the level of having switched to Linux.
Acces to a big multiplayer game server is the only one that really comes go mind.
If it’s just for a few people there is very little need for maintenance, rarely any developer work.

- Comment on i enjoy using drugs and that will never change 1 week ago:
Few things are so normal and natural as a human consuming substances that change their conscious perception and mind.
Caffeine, often forgotten is by far the most consumed drug in the world being used by roughly 85% of people globally. “First coffee, then work” is a testimonial to how benign this fact is.
But what if you don’t like caffeine, what if you simply prefer the effects of something else? It’s your body, no one should be able to tell an adult what they can do with their own body and mind.
Just be conscious about it.
Know what you are taking.
Understand why you take it.
Study, learn what it actually does and how different doses/methods affect you.
Find how it does not affect you, what it can’t fix.
Look for help when you need it and don’t feel shameful for asking such. You are human after all.

Your not wrong that corporations win regardless of the party but how does a Trump appointee removing posts turn into an example of democrats being guilty of this?

That may have been his intention but the many worlds interpretation is still a valid theory considered by equally professional scientists.
Personally i think when we are dealing with proper unknowns its best to not make any assumptions of what is normal/absurd at all. Some answers may literally beyond our comprehension.

Fuck all intellectual property.
Monopoly on ideas is though police. Information that is not hidden for personal reasons should always be free.
All of human creativity is recycled from internal interpretations, interpretations from the real world that we live in that is increasingly blocked off with real punishment to conceptual crime.
- Comment on AI-powered CRISPR could lead to faster gene therapies, Stanford Medicine study finds 3 weeks ago:
I am not saying i understand it at all. My comment is genuine, not rhetorical.
On the contrary i express that i do not understand this to the point of deeming it strange or weird, triggering my curiosity.
I was hoping someone would chime in an explain how text generator techniques (which i do know alot about) known to have no capacity to use real world reason or logic can be used to help solve dna puzzles unless as a sub module of general machine learning. In which that later case would be within my understanding
- Comment on AI-powered CRISPR could lead to faster gene therapies, Stanford Medicine study finds 3 weeks ago:
Machine learning sure but an llm? For anything other then as a module to translate abstract data into words that just seem weird

- Comment on Seeing lemmy all over Google search results gives me hope 3 weeks ago:
I regret not including this as an option now but I contemplated adding this part:
The majority of our (subjective-my) internet nowadays follows patterns of the same places, new places are often found on the old places.
Most of my sites are bookmarked trusted websites. (Increasingly more self hosted also)
I find i rarely need a search engine anymore and when often when i do i can’t find anything anyway. Stuff has gotten so buried under search engine optimisation you are better of using ai for a first responds to obtain the terminology to search for how wrong ai got it then by searching for a question directly.
I am hoping to try this thing soon and if its good it might replace 90% of my browser activity. -> github.com/glanceapp/glance
