If only Discord supported h.265 or av1… h.264 looks like the worst jpeg at that

- Comment on Router suggestions for a complete noob 3 days ago:
Let me go out on a limb and rec a cheap mini computer with 2 mini gigabit (or more) ethernets, and either pfsense or opnsense. Those two run on anything that has an x86_64 cpu and easily update. Not any harder to learn to setup than mikrotik, and has lots more capability.

flip phones were great as phpnes, but terrible as pdas. iPhone combined the two in a non-chunky way (competitors? Palm Treo? Windows Mobile phones?)

- Comment on How to use a domain I own to self-host services? 4 weeks ago:
Wheb you put your server’s tailscale IP in the dns, anything that looks up that dns gets the tailscale IP. You only need to connect the devices you want to have connect to the server to the same tailscale network, and your system will handle the routing.

A record with your IP address, AAAA record with your IPv6 address. If these addresses change often, either setup a dyndns (your DBS provider needs to support this) or pay for a Static IP from your ISP. Firewall the hell out of your network, have a default deny (drop) inbound rule, and only open ports for your service. Use an nginx reverse proxy if possible to keep direct connections out of your service, and use containers (docker?) for your service(s). Don’t forget to setup certbot and fail2ban. You need certbot to auto update your certs, and you need fail2ban to keep the automated login hacker bots from getting in.
That’s the minimum. You can do more with ip region blocking and such, as well as more advanced firewalling and isolation. Also possible to use Tailscale and point the DNS to the Tailscale IP, which will eliminate exposing youd public IP to the internet.
- Comment on Study (N=16) finds AI (Cursor/Claude) slows development 4 weeks ago:
If you already know what you’re doing, AI generating code is redundant. If you don’t know what you’re doing, it might work for you, up to the point you’re spending all your time debugging hallucinatory code.

- Comment on I would like to know about websites ending with .onion Is there anybody who can tell me more about this ? 5 weeks ago:
Websites ending in .onion are on the Tor network. You need to be connected to and using Tor (The Onion Router, see the other comments) to be able to connect them.
In short, Tor connects you to the internet by splitting bits of your connection across all the other Tor users. This makes it much harder to trace your activity if you are browsing anonymously (use the Tor Browser in its default configuration and window size, DO NOT SIGN INTO ANYTHING).

Bazzite as well, which uses the Atomic backing, so it is more easily recoverable in case of an oops.

- Comment on Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course 1 month ago:
I will note that AI customer service could be an improvement. Customer service helpline jobs are one of the worst jobs to get paid peanuts to do.
Of course, my preference is to upgrade the crap voice recognition system with an AI voice recognition system, which is way better at understanding words. The help desk jockeys can stay, as they do the real work.
