I also recommend ruining windows
- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 1 week ago:
normal procedure? where exactly have you seen that be done? for that every user would have to register a developer account and fumble with an API key
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 2 weeks ago:
if you don’t want replies, just don’t post. everyone will be better off than if you are deleting posts. actually it’s the easiest thing to do.
that being said. are you guilty of deleting your posts after they had discussions? because if so, I’ll just block you because you are taking away value from the community, not adding to it
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 2 weeks ago:
we need to make a list of usernames who are deleting their posts, regularly or even just twice
- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 2 weeks ago:
I guess the automatic has the 10 user limit. and the subscription is needed for a proper app that people use.

next sentence
Starting today, all current and future applications will automatically receive access to the Standard developer tier. This allows you to serve up to 10 athletes

you mean, unseparated from the rest of the trash?
- Comment on Where did the dust settle on Syncthing Fork? 2 weeks ago:
First, the original dev continues to collaborate still,
I don’t think that means much. didn’t the new maintainer say they were given access to the original maintainers account?
- Comment on What are your favorite low-footprint self-hosted services? 2 months ago:
do you mean there is a known upcoming change in signal?
- Comment on Old Thin Clients - Which CPU is fine? 3 months ago:
I think it depends. when you run many things for yourself and most services are idle most of the time, you need more RAM and cpu performance is not that important. a slower CPU might make the services work slower, but RAM is a boundary to what you can run. 8 GB is indeed a comfortable amount when you don’t need to run even a desktop environment and a browser on it besides the services, but with things like Jellyfin and maybe even Immich, that hoard memory for cache, it’s not that comfortable anymore.
- Comment on Old Thin Clients - Which CPU is fine? 3 months ago:
its probably hoarding it as “cache” when it thinks no other program needs it. maybe it would release some when the system has memory pressure, but this is terrible because those mechanisms are reacting very slowly
- Comment on OpenWRT router 5 months ago:
Don’t expect good Wi-Fi if you went with devboards like OpenWrt One.
why is that?
- Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!? 5 months ago:
I’m torn in how to feel about this. it was stupid to turn to a chatbot for things you know nothing about, as you then can’t even verify anything. and when you are a beginner, you probably shouldn’t start with SAS hardware either because it’s more complicated with the added enterprise features.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 8 months ago:
I think people are assuming you want to convert people to The Church of Docker, in their minds, if you know what I mean. I do not see it that way, but “what is stopping you from using virtualization” has such a tone as if everyone is supposed to virtualize, but something prevents them and they can’t.
I think a better way to ask it would be “what are your reasons for sticking with bare metal?” or something like that.
sidenote: to me it seems some people here have quite bad experiences with docker. I mean it has parts I don’t like either, but I never had so many problems with it and I’m hosting a dozen of web services locally. maybe their experience was from the early days?

what do you run for RSS?
also, I hope you are not doing backups by dding an in use filesystem

I think this is like sepi’s response but less polite
- Comment on What is the current state of Matrix? 8 months ago:
its often a bug, because the clients who have the keys don’t know they should retry sending.
but also it’s all been fixed a year ago as I know. I don’t usually use dm rooms and public ones are not encrypted, so I wouldn’t know if I didn’t read about it.

- Comment on What is the current state of Matrix? 9 months ago:
definetly report the problem. there’s a function for it in the app, 3 points menu on the chat list menu, use it after making those errors show up. tick the contact me box. ceo recommends to also notify himself directly: gist.github.com/…/190ad712965d0f06e17f508d1a45b55…
- Comment on What is the current state of Matrix? 9 months ago:
afaik those errors can’t really be solved by users. I mean other than using an up to date client and server.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 year ago:
on the tablet it should work fine in the browser. maybe that would also work on the TV, that’s exactly what most TV apps do anyway.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 year ago:
what? It’s not like everyone needs to run jeyfin at home. the oy thing you need to use is the jeyfin webapp, which I don’t understand how is it more complicated than netflix or any other similar service. you log in, pick a movie and hit play. that’s it.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 year ago:
URL into bookmark, username and password onto paper. Dont tell me they can’t do handwriting anymore.
TV? how did they log into their google account to begin with?
but also: they can log in first on the phone or anywhere else, then use quick connect for the TV… added bonus: phone is now a remote. - Comment on Looking for ... inventory management, I guess? 1 year ago:
