- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (7 August 2026) 3 days ago:
I have done the same. I have shared my apps though - just not here. I went to the communities they are targeting. Of course I made clear that the apps were vibe coded and lo and behold everyone was fine with it. It’s just this community that is especially toxic about this topic.
- Comment on Why do people host RSS? 1 week ago:
I usually read my RSS feeds on my phone. That’s fine - I could do this by just subscribing to the sources directly. But every once in a while I want to look up something I read some years ago and I don’t quite remember what the article was called and where it was published. Filtering and searching on my desktop is much more convenient and I have my history saved there - even if the blog in question is offline in the meantime. In addition some RSS feeds only send a short text and a “read more” link. With FreshRSS I can configure a feed to automatically load the complete article from the website and in my reader it shows up as if the feed was a real full feed with pictures and everything.
- Comment on SMART data on some old drives, can anyone beat my powered-on times? 1 week ago:
I have two WD Red 3TB with 109.858h and a Samsung SSD 830 256GB with 110.639h on my main workstation (which I built in 2011). That’s 12½ years and some extra hours uptime. They are all three fine and still in use.
- Comment on Linkwarden 2.16 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) 🚀 [AIP] 1 week ago:
I may be wrong, but it seems to me there is a misunderstanding of what Linkwarden is.

If you don’t trust the hosted service you can always self-host it. If you don’t trust yourself…
- Comment on [AIT] paperless-ngx 3.0.0 2 weeks ago:
That’s good to hear. The performance of the UI was always an issue for me.
- Comment on How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN? 5 weeks ago:
You should consider the VPN as a part of the protection (and also as a part of an attack vector).

Somehow I’m getting Phlox vibes…
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI 1 month ago:
I would still prefer an additional [Non-AI] tag. Even if people are arguing against it - it is not same omitting an [AI] tag and consciously saying “I never used and never will use AI”. And the latter is the thing most users who want the AI-tag are looking for.
- Comment on Rule 2 Clarifications and New Rule proposal I’ve gotten through (I believe) a 1 month ago:
So everyone just adds a “I’m not working for x” to their posts?
- Comment on Rule 2 Clarifications and New Rule proposal I’ve gotten through (I believe) a 1 month ago:
I find this too prohibitive. Even with the exception this would make me think twice about a promo post and maybe even refrain me from posting at all. For non-except services it is even worse. It may lead to spam posts or users trying to categorize contributions into useful and not useful posts.
Self hosting does not end for everyone with free services. Some of us are happy to pay for services provided by others and I would really like to read about these here as well. I know this is not the intention of the rule, but it will be its result.
- Comment on [META] Are paid for closer source advertising appropriate? 1 month ago:
As long as it’s self-hosted I don’t have a problem with it. Plex is maybe a good example for this. I wouldn’t ban Plex questions as long as it isn’t just a weekly advertising post. Up- and down voting can handle the rest.

There is no harm done to the user’s machine. What are you talking about? The malware as you call it is limited to the project folder and Claude itself specifically asks you if you trust the contents of a newly opened folder.

I am not upset, but I am busy setting up puppygram.com
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (12 June 2026) 1 month ago:
It is, but unfortunately Claude detects it immediately and ignores it.
- Comment on What are some of the biggest continuity errors in Star Trek? 2 months ago:
Deep Space Nine is supposed to host up to 7000 lifeforms, but the infirmary is tiny and has three biobeds max.
- Comment on What are some of the biggest continuity errors in Star Trek? 2 months ago:
I think he refers to the first season of DS9 where it was never explicitly mentioned that Joseph Sisko is well and alive (but neither was the opposite). He first appeared in season 4. He just doesn’t exist before that.
- Comment on What are some of the biggest continuity errors in Star Trek? 2 months ago:
But I have to agree that it is barely visible.
- Comment on Goodbye Google - I self-host everything now on 4 tiny PCs in a 3D printed rack (CaptainRedsLab) 4 months ago:
I run a lot of services on a single old NUC I got for less than 100 dollars. I added some RAM (back then when you could buy some) and a new NVMe stick later when, but since then this single machine could handle all I asked it to do.
- Comment on Server randomly locked up. Trying to find out why 5 months ago:
That’s the beauty of a memory leak. Even plenty of RAM can get filled up to the brim…
- Comment on Need help getting domain to resolve over LAN 1 year ago:
I also think it may be the browser not using the DNS provided by the router. This is often called Safe Browsing or Secure DNS in browser settings.
