- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 2 days ago:
The Switch is a family console. Neither Xbox nor Playstation can compete in this sector (and maybe they don’t want to).
- Comment on Is there a way to redirect voice traffic from WhatsApp and Signal to a landline? 1 week ago:
As far as I know that’s not possible for WhatsApp.
- Comment on Which non-US domain registrar to use? 1 week ago:
I use INWX (based in Germany). Prices are consistently low (not always the cheapest, but fair). The web UI is a bit rusty, but it works perfectly and you can manage everything there.
- Comment on Self-Hosted podcast 1 week ago:
That show is equal parts content and advertising. That is a bit too much for me…
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 2 weeks ago:
Transport Tycoon was fantastic and thanks to OpenTTD I still play it from time to time.
Gothic 2 is by far the best Action RPG of all time. Witcher 3 comes close, but still fails to surpass it in so many places.
Banished always gets me with it’s atmosphere. It feels cozy but at the same time you are close to complete annihilation. Oxygen not included hits the same mark, but also has a distinctive art style and humor to it which I love.
- Comment on Random people started sharing child pornography on my matrix server, what are my options? 4 weeks ago:
This is bad advice. Do not listen to this guy.

If that’s where you draw the line…

Paperless-AI is fantastic. I had 750 untagged documents (all my physical mail since 2017). Paperless-AI processed all of them using a local Ollama installation, tagged them, created correspondants and a title for each document. So much work I didn’t have to do… 😍
- Comment on Valve have just updated the Source 1 SDK on GitHub to the latest code based on Team Fortress 2, effectively making TF2 code source available 1 month ago:
Just because the source code is available it does not mean it is free to use and do with it what you want. The license explicitly states that you may use it but have to publish it for free and follow the Steam subscriber agreement. Also this is just source code, not the assets (at least as far as I understand it).
- Comment on Nintendo discontinuing Gold Points on the Switch eShop, ahead of Switch 2 release 1 month ago:
How dare they get rid of a dark pattern… /s
- Comment on Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend? 1 month ago:
I recently switched a bunch of nginx configs to the opnsense Caddy plugin. It is easy to configure, but in my opinion it lacks the ability to change settings beyond the basics. It isn’t helpful either that the plugin developer fails to recognize any other use case than the basics. It disqualifies the plugin for everyone with a little bit more complex setups.

I have recently setup my paperless-ngx instance and have uploaded all my scanned documents. Now I have to tag all that stuff which seems like a lot of work. So I’m looking into paperless-ai… 🧞

- Comment on Interview: Alex Kurtzman on Section 31 and the "evolution" of Star Trek 2 months ago:
I understand that he thinks he has to do something different. That lies in the nature of storytelling. Hardly any author likes telling the same story again and again in the same way. It is the same thing nobody seems to understand when there is a reboot or remake of an old movie or show (but that’s another story). But I also have to strongly disagree that doing something different means doing it like every other drama series. Lower Decks of all things has shown that the original idea of Star Trek not only holds up but even transcends to other genres very well.

Comparing this movie to Deep Space Nine is a disgrace…
- Comment on Could you imagine a Nintendo title being advertised like this today? (Conker's Bad Fur Day, 2001) 2 months ago:
Long story short: The USA are not the moral compass of the world (thank god).
- Comment on Annotations for *Star Trek: Lower Decks* 5x07: “Fully Dilated” (SPOILERS) 4 months ago:
Mariner asking about the purple carpet of the Enterprise D also references a somewhat vulgar saying about women.
- Comment on How should one access their servers when in China if at all? 4 months ago:
To be honest: After visiting both the US and China I was way more concerned after my US visit that my phone may have been compromised.
Using a VPN was no problem for me in China, but it has been a few years since I’ve been there.
- Comment on Where to start? 4 months ago:
There are several guides on what episode can / should / mustn’t be skipped.
Let’s watch Star Trek has it for every classic show: www.letswatchstartrek.com/tng-episode-guide/
But there are of course other guides and as they’re subjective ratings you might want to give episodes a chance even if others didn’t like them.
- Comment on Where to start? 4 months ago:
My main advice is: Don’t be afraid to skip an episode if you watch it and you don’t like it. Especially the early seasons of TNG, DS9 and Voyager have some episodes which can easily be skipped. You won’t lose any context.

Who said they were contacted by Starfleet? They could have known about his opportunity by any means and were just the first to take it? A normal thing for a free looting based economy…
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x01 "Dos Cerritos" & 5x02 "Shades of Green" 5 months ago:
They are hiring them to handle the disposition of unneeded tokens of currency. I don’t see how that violates the prime directive…
