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 week 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).

How dare they get rid of a dark pattern… /s
- Comment on Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend? 2 weeks 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 4 weeks 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) 1 month 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) 2 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? 3 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? 3 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? 3 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.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x01 "Dos Cerritos" & 5x02 "Shades of Green" 3 months ago:
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…

They are hiring them to handle the disposition of unneeded tokens of currency. I don’t see how that violates the prime directive…

Are the two of them so different that it would matter?
- Comment on What are some video games that you would show up to a local tournament for? 5 months ago:
Quake 3 Arena, but only if the tournament lasts no longer than 15 minutes. My heart can’t take more…
- Comment on Balatro: Friends of Jimbo – Reveal Trailer 5 months ago:
I have to disagree. I don’t think the joker does look like either Neuschwanstein or Hitler’s painting of Neuschwanstein.
Nonetheless I agree that the artworks shown in the trailer are great.
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 6 months ago:
Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Of course there is always OpenTTD, which has by far exceeded the original, but I would just like to see a modern game (not necessarily in terms of graphics) with the same vibe. Transport Fever and all the other variants never quite achieved the same depth and complexity.
- Comment on What stick should I get? 6 months ago:
So…get him this stick. It even says in the product pictures: Perfect Gift For All Ages I suspect your brother is of any age so it fits.
- Comment on What's the oldest game anyone here has played in 2024? 6 months ago:
Commander Keen (1990) on Steam
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 6 months ago:
The last game I did 100% was Psychonauts 2. I loved the world and after playing the fantastic story it was a good reason to spend some extra hours revisiting the levels.

- Comment on tupd 0.6 - small bugfix 6 months ago:
I think you have realized that every comment here was about your decision not to use Git. I don’t think there is much more to say about this…
- Comment on tupd 0.6 - small bugfix 6 months ago:
You don’t have to. Absolutely not.
But: As a potential user it provides some additional features your solution lacks. I can easily fork or clone your repo and change things if I need to. If I think it benefits the project I can easily offer these changes back to you, if I don’t I can still profit from future development on your side and incorporate my changes into it. I can very easily check what has changed between two versions without relying (trusting) your changelogs or performing a manual diff.
But most importantly it is a matter of trust. Not so much trust in your intentions and the possibility of malicious code (Git won’t prevent that), but it obfuscates your code unnecessarily making it harder to continue if you at some point decide to stop maintaining it or even detect vulnerabilities as it is not easily accessible without knowing where to look for it.
- Comment on My homelab had the stupidest outage ever 6 months ago:
Some BIOS manufacturers allow you to disable all halts on errors. As soon as you connect to the network your system should be able to sync its internal clock.
- Comment on tupd 0.6 - small bugfix 6 months ago:
I like the idea, but may I ask why you don’t use a version control system like Git (or anything else that fits your needs)?
