- Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began' 3 days ago:
I didn’t say he was a political figure. I listed but one example of him being a cockwomble, one you agree with.
There are more, the “what’s wrong with Clarkson” question was answered.
- Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began' 3 days ago:
Climate change denial for a start? Of course he walked it back after started to affect him personally, typical conservative really.
To ask “What’s wrong with Clarkson?” you’d have to know nothing about him.

Who’s setting up a lettuce stream? If lettuce streams become a tradition of unwelcome politicians I wouldn’t be mad.

We had the most family run farms when we had the inheritance tax on them.
- Comment on Reducing buffering when accessing Jellyfin via Tailscale 5 days ago:
Sames, I have a bunch of users(2) all streaming jellyfin fine over tailscale, except one house which buffers sporadically over the day.
Their internet speed is fine. It could be WiFi being saturated in their area. It could be the relay being a very old rPi3 just isn’t up to it (The pi, captures their requests through Pi-Hole and proxyies their traffic over tailscale). It could be the laptop they’re using as a client isn’t up to it. Or it could be some setting somewhere.
It’s annoying whatever it is.

Not too close. My Proxmox server is basically set up, I can’t fit anything more on it, so it’s just back end and tinkering now. I’m comfortable with Proxmox.
That said, new box and a large windfall I’d have a look at Unraid. After donating to Proxmox at least that much first.
If Proxmox didn’t exist (and TTeck didn’t exist) I think I would have at least tested Unraid. I was comfy in Debian with Docker as a virtualisation host before moving to Proxmox anyways.
I’m sure it’s good, I would like to give it a go. I’m happy where I am though.

It was more a plea to cat owners that know their cat. The cats I know don’t tolerate cats on the street outside their house, let alone inside, plenty of people around though. I’m sure there’s exceptions, I don’t know cats well, but as a rule I think they’re territorial against cats, not humans.
- Comment on Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out. 6 days ago:
Easy test at home. Bring a strange human into your house, note the reaction. Bring a strange cat into your house, is the reaction the same?

- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
Thanks, I’ll check it out. Speedy could be interesting for games that used the CPU speed as a clock speed.
The LinuxServerIO peeps make fantastic images. When my server was docker only they pretty much built my homelab. I’m sure my docker hosts still have a bunch of their stuff, *arrs are probably all them.

Cleanuparr/Huntarr just got upgraded to a late-summer project.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 week ago:
I’ve been on full maintenance mode for spring/summer, those are the times to be going placed and doing things. Autumn I’m going to write my winter goals for the server.
I have another n100 box that I’m going to dedicate to immich, I have 7 users now, so when they all upload on a night my current n100 has a little bit of a cry.
Security is always a big one. I’m currently relying on tailscale (limited to necessary lxcs), reverse proxies, Https, and app ‘sign ins’. Not bad (it’s bad) but not good either.
For new projects, I want to integrate Audiobookshelf with Hardcover. I’ve got a project installed but it didn’t work on my first attempt so I gave it up for winter.
I’d like to set up a virtual DosBox, accessable by a browser, for my 1000s of dos games. Again I’ve found a few projects, none worked out of the box so have been given up for winter.
Other than all my front end services are working well. *arrs are becoming a pain for all the malware named as good files confusing rad/sonarr. Qbit knows not to download .exes, and the like, but sonarr doesn’t know to delete them and look again. Lazylibrarian accepts no shit though, if things aren’t going as expected LL very quickly deletes and goes again. I might try vibecode a script for that.
I’d like to break out my storage into a dedicate box. Probably get some e-waste to fill with drives. Currently I have a n100 running network, storage and virtualization, it’s a little cramped.
It’s probably smarter to break out networking first, build a little router/firewall box (the above n100 mini would be perfect). But, I don’t get along with networking, I find it challenging in an unsatisfying way. When I’m done banging my head against the wall and things work I’m just relieved I don’t have to do it again, instead of feeling accomplished. New projects are fun, Storage I get the feeling of accomplishment of doing the thing. Networking is a dark art full of black boxes I don’t understand that sometimes play nice together and mostly fuck my shit up.
I want to move over to IPv6, not for any other reason than it’s probably a good idea to progress to the 2000s. If I can move everything over to hostnames however, that’d be the dream.
Moving from Docker to Podman is probably smart.
Lots to do over winter… I’m probably gonna build a fish tank instead

Nonce: child rapist.
Refering to Trump mostly, but our Prince Andrew is also a child molestor. He’s walking free and living a life of luxury few of us will achieve.
- Comment on Keir Starmer in crisis as Labour drops to 16% in devastating new poll 2 weeks ago:
16% so far. Tax the wealth. Stop funding the genocide. Stop throwing minorities under the bus. Stop sucking up to nonces. Improve people’s lives: we can no longer afford circuses, we can barely afford bread.

Someone says that movie was cool. You protest that the movie wasn’t a ‘low but not freezing temperature’. You receive pushback for being a pedant. You:
I find it hilarious that being correct is being ignorant. It’s ok that you’re wrong, it’s your right.
Your last comment made such good progress. You recognised it was your failing to understand the language being spoken. You projected that lack onto everyone else by suggesting no-one could keep up. But you recognised it was a listener’s failure. Why the regression?
Communication is a co-operative tool. It is on the speaker to use language appropriate for the likely listeners true. Like an English speaker going into a rural Japanese restaurant and trying to order in English. The speaker did that, we all understood what was meant by ‘nazi’.
But also it is on the listener to learn the language likely to be spoken. Like an English speaker going into a rural Japanese restaurant and getting mad everyone because everything is in Japanese. This is you, you are in an online ‘restaurant’ of a sort getting mad at everyone else for not speaking the language you speak, in the way you want to speak it.
I’ll note that this main character syndrome that everyone else should conform to their way of speaking is common among English speakers.
Of course i do, but since it’s not clear from language that I do due to the reasons that I laid out, I understand that you’re confused. See how language is confusing when words change meaning? Oh, the irony.
It was clear from the context. Notice how I keep making great emphasis on the context in which the words are being used. I was mocking you for a point made you made without thought coming back to bite you.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
So don’t use ‘nazi’ that way, no-one is forcing you.
‘Do you know the saying that movie was cool.’ You know they aren’t saying ‘the movie was a low but not freezing temperature.’
So here’s someone complaining about the use of ‘cool’ and they say ‘I think i’d rather use the terms correctly, rather than follow the erronious zeitgeist’.
Just imagine the scenario, some people talking about a film, someone says it’s cool, and here you come charging in with your pedantry. No-one is talking about the film anymore, because you’re arguing about the usage of the word cool. Then you go full sanctimonious and say “I think i’d rather use the terms correctly, rather than follow the erronious zeitgeist”. Is that a sufficient mirror for you.
Just because technology has created micro universes where word change meaning faster than anyone can follow, doesn’t mean they are right.
Faster than anyone can follow? I followed it. Everyone in this thread followed it. It only seemed to be you out of the loop. That’s fine, but you didn’t have to expose your ignorance so publicly. You’ll pick up the lingo eventually.
Or to put it more sarcastically so you have something to think about. I literally don’t care, literally.
But you didn’t explain how you were using each version of literally?! Thereby proving your earlier complaint “that it would render words meaningless” incorrect. If nothing else I am glad I could have taught you that much. Maybe if I was able to teach you that people don’t have to spend all their time explaining definitions, I can teach you how silly pedantry is.
But you do care though, you obviously care.

It wasn’t in bad faith.
History has shown that fascists in power are going to do terrible things. It doesn’t matter what you do or don’t do, they are going to do the terrible things they want to do regardless.
This policy of “don’t provoke them with your mean memes” is the kind of powerless fear that the abusers are trying to instill in you.
History has also shown that there a few ways of dislodging facists when in power. Smooth talking isn’t one of them.
I appreciate you’re not interested ZMonster, I’m not expecting a reply. Purely an explaination for anyone reading through the thread.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
What’s all well and good? I see no evidence you are listening, and some direct evidence that you are not.
Once again, you are railing against how the English language works, and has always worked.
‘Literally’ means both ‘literally’ and it’s opposite ‘figuratively’. People using ‘literally’ to mean figuratively aren’t wrong to do so as long as it is understood between speaker and listener what is meant.
I’m the current zeitgeist, it is understood in casual settings ‘nazi’ is used to mean ‘right wing authoritarian’. Get all upset if you wish, there’s a long history of people being upset about time’s effect on language, I’m sure you can remember your grandparents clutching pearls at the slang and short hand you used growing up. You don’t have to like it, English doesn’t care. Keep up, or don’t, up to you.
All you are doing is pettifogging.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Once again, the entire history of our language is mocking you. Please see my earlier comment.
You are doubly wrong, distinctions between right-wing authoritarians isn’t important in this context.
Words do not lose meaning, they change and are understood through context. I gave you an example already:
When I use the word ‘literally’ in a sentence I do not have to explain my definiton (literally/figurativly) being used.
Otherwise you end up in a conversation with someone and you end up spending all of the time explaining ‘your’ definition of what a word means.
See above, if you had read my earlier comment you wouldn’t have wasted your, our my time with this
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Pedantry separating out one right wing authoritarian from another isn’t helpful in this context. Maybe in others, but not in this one
Also, language has always evolved, the words didn’t lose meaning they changed meaning. ‘Literally’ became an antonym, it’s fine.
So you’re doubly wrong. Wrong for being a pedant, and wrong for your stated reason for pedantry.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
That ‘right stuff’ didn’t work in the 1940s, what makes you think it would work in '25? Do you know what did work in the '40s?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
pettifogging it matters not what you call the fascists, they’re still practicing fascism. This pedantry your arguing is just that, pedantry, and it’s distracting.
- Comment on UK could raise nearly £2bn by taxing SUVs in line with European countries, study shows 2 weeks ago:
SUVs the jack of no trades and master of fewer. They’re such a strange concept, forgo the ease of a hatchback, the space of an estate, the performance of a sports car, the utility of a 4x4 and in return you get to kill more kids when you hit them.
I’m clearly not the target market with my '05 Civic, that because I live fairly rural I put winter tires on. But, I don’t understand what I’m missing. The wealthier around me are all in them, the rest of us are in hatchbacks and estates.

- Comment on Wealthy parents rush to give children their assets as tougher UK inheritance tax rules loom 3 weeks ago:
If we only had 50% inheritance tax here. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Understandable complaints or no, it’s a solvable problem. The Samsung inheritance was interesting (thank you for the suggestion), my take is that Samsung had been allowed to grow too big, and that was the cause of the issue.
Sure, we could do payment plans, we do for other kinds of government bills when someone can’t afford it, seems strange that inheritance isn’t one of them. I guess it’s hard to argue that you don’t have the funds when you’ve just inherited a bunch of value.
