- Comment on I'm moving to another city soon. What are some good apps that could help? Inventory, logistics, etc 4 days ago:
This is a criminally underrated tip. Liquor boxes are seriously sturdy, and the size keeps you from overpacking them.
- Comment on What advice would you give to someone half your age? 1 week ago:
Never be afraid to learn something. More than anything the world needs smart people.
Be virtuous and kind. These qualities will pay off over time.
Listen. To the people around you. To the world around you. Pay attention. When you have to speak, choose your words carefully. We have enough hot takes.
Read. Seriously, read a lot. The more you do it, the more you’ll find stuff you like.
Take care of your teeth. You only get the one permanent set, and dentistry is basically prevention and patchwork. They can’t really “fix” a problem. Also take care of your body. It gets harder to do that as you get older.
- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 3 weeks ago:
Generally, I agree with this. Not quite w/ regards to Nike and some other brands, (most of Nike’s competitors, Apple) , since they put the logo on everything as part of their design asthetic. Whether you like that or not is personal choice, of course. Personally, I miss the old colorful Apple logo.
With luxury brands, yeah it’s a blatant cash grab extracting money from poorer people by selling them the mirage of owning something luxurious. The stuff you buy at the mall isn’t sold at their Rodeo Drive location! That said, some luxury brands do qualify for “buy it for life” status, though having the kind of quality isn’t exclusive to luxury brands (see also: Zippo lighters, and many many other solid, reasonably priced brands).
- Comment on VPS services connecting to local services 4 weeks ago:
Just reread you comment and I guess it’s the network that will cause issues. To be clear, I think I can make the cloudflare portion work one way or another (I have a second domain i can use if necessary). If my thinking is correct the tailnet communication would be over that IP space - not trying to route to my LAN net. Unless I’m missing something.
- Comment on VPS services connecting to local services 4 weeks ago:
So I learned today that I need to play with the conflate tunnel if I want two systems using one domain. I’m hoping a second api key will help. Honestly, until I tested the second server on the tunnel, that’s been rock solid. Or are you saying using both networks will inject flakiness?
Also, I appreciate the suggestion of clustered with, but none of this is mission critical. If it’s down until I can login/fix, I’m ok with that. Only a 2-3 people using it.
- Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 4 weeks ago:
Agreed. I’m not much of a coder, so the best contribution I can give is probably $$. At least until I get off my ass and learn something new!
- Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 4 weeks ago:
True, it’s a good percentage, and probably better than most free software. That said, given the communities the self hosted apps support, their excitement for the products, and for some the essential nature of some of these apps, it would be nice to see the yes/no number more 50/50 at least.

- Comment on 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results 4 weeks ago:
I think this is pretty troubling. Including myself in the sentiment that the self-hosting community needs to do better. Aside from funding individual projects, are there any organizations that help fund self-hosting projects?
- Comment on I always get them confused. 1 month ago:
I used to get them confused until a visit to Luray Cavern. The tour guide explained that one “held ‘tite’ to the ceiling while the other just ‘mite’ reach it.”
- Comment on Are all FRU for a particular Lenovo Marketing part number? 3 months ago:
Compatible? Should be. Identical? No (at least not always). Only identical FRU are interchangeable.
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 3 months ago:
Anyone else get a lot of “Failed to load media” messages on images? I particularly see them on science memes in both Voyager and Arctic on iOS. Haven’t tested on android yet.

- Comment on Maths 5 months ago:
There’s a certain irony in using a Douglas Adams quote to support saying something is reminiscent of Terry Pratchett.

- Comment on Piers Morgan gets owned 9 months ago:
Isn’t “getting owned” basically this douche’s job?
- Comment on I think trump might win, and it's due to shitty memory and DND 11 months ago:
Don’t forget, the GOP will be winning control of the Senate pretty soon, too.
- Comment on What NAS to get for running plex and is there anything I should know? 11 months ago:
There’s nothing wrong with the small PC/NAS route. Certainly more powerful and flexible. I’m currently running the *arr stuff in containers on a Synology 1520 (also storing a bunch of other stuff), with Plex running on a Shield Pro. It’s pretty low power draw, and so far does everything I need.
- Comment on Stick Enthusiasts - For sharing your great sticks or stick related memes 11 months ago:
FINALLY!

That TLD is pretty awesome!

Obvious next question: how’s the privacy policy on 3rd party stereo makers like Pioneer, Kenwood, Alpine, Jensen, etc.?
- Comment on Prowlarr VPN/proxy advice 1 year ago:
I have VPN, BitTorrent and prowlarr in one “stack” (a project in Synology Container Manager). Everything else is bundled into a separate project. Not sure how portainer would make this work differently. I don’t have much experience with that.
- Comment on Prowlarr VPN/proxy advice 1 year ago:
FWIW, all of my *arr, and VPN containers use the same network bridge. Prowlarr and torrent use the VPN service, though having Prowlarr on there is maybe overkill. They’re all able to access one another using the bridge gateway + port as the host, e.g.: 172.20.0.1:5050
I mostly used this guide, where he suggests:
I have split out Prowlarr as you may want this running on a VPN connection if your ISP blocks certain indexers. If not copy this section into your compose as well. See my Gluetun guides for more information on adding to a VPN.
- Comment on Could we get #rememberthebird trending on TwitterX until 27. October to remind people of the shortcomings of Billionaires? 1 year ago:
No. If you don’t like what Elon’s doing with Xitter, STOP GOING THERE.
It’s simple. It’s a social network. If people don’t use it, it fails. Who cares if some, or even a lot, of people use it. You don’t have to.
I promise you, he doesn’t care what you or I think. If Xitter fails and is forced to shutter, he’ll move on to the next exercise in ego inflation.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
For me, it kind of depends. If Rogan is interviewing an actor, comedian, or MMA/UFC fighter, he’s more in his element, and the interview can be alright. The problem is he’s kind of an “all sides” show and he doesn’t really understand all the stuff some of his guests pedal. This is problematic when he has folks on pedaling stuff where he doesn’t recognize and call out the potential toxicity. A good example is someone like Jordan Petersen. A guy whose credentials would seem to indicate he knows what he’s talking about. In reality, a lot of the MRA-adjacent BS he spews sounds somewhat reasonable, if a bit “edgy,” on its surface. Petersen knows it isn’t actually backed up by any research (which is where his credentials are), it’s just his musings that he’s found an audience, and quite a bit of money, espousing. This is a problem because Rogan doesn’t usually call this stuff out for the dog whistle that it is, and he has a massive audience.
- Comment on Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way 1 year ago:
Solid point. Kind of goes back to what we want out of our social media. If we want to follow the celebrities we like, we’re probably stuck with Xitter & other data harvesters (outside of the enlightened folks like Mr. Fry). I honestly use Mastodon slightly more than I use(ed) Twitter. Barely more than not at all.
- Comment on Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way 1 year ago:
The problem is that #10 in this article is why 99% of people won’t leave Xitter for Mastodon. Most of the people with lots of followers on X aren’t on Mastodon. It’s really that simple. Some “influencers” need to be convinced to open up Mastodon accounts and advertise exclusive content on there for their followers. Until then, we will be stuck with a handful of journalists, Flipboard, and Stephen Fry.
