- Comment on Turning the Tables: How to Make Spammers Reveal Their Own IP Address 4 weeks ago:
I started getting spam in German to an email address I gave to the town hall of my town. They use multiple domains to send it, but they all have the same link format that redirects to a fake AI-generated dating site. I’ve tried reporting some to the police, as well as the hosting providers, but haven’t heard back at all. I’d like to delete the address, but it’s the one town hall uses to reach me…

Darn. I recall reading good articles from some of these publications in the past. Shame…
- Comment on I ditched my laptop for a pocketable mini PC and a pair of AR glasses — here’s what happened 1 month ago:
This article reads like satire… it’s sentence after sentence of “and I did it using one of the [best office chairs]” which is a link to some review by themselves. Every bit mentioned had an affiliate link and there wasn’t an actual review of what the experience (software, setup, visual fidelity) is like??
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 1 month ago:
Ouch, that sucks yeah. Guess I got lucky with the games my friends like to play. Only one is I guess Valorant, but I don’t engage with that one anyways. Guess you’re stuck on the dual boot until devs of these games start ticking the Proton support box :P
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 1 month ago:
What games keep you on Windows? Besides a few anticheat-enabled ones which choose not to support it, basically everything works fine. I game (and work in gamedev!) 100% on Linux.
- Comment on Sometimes, it’s the little tech annoyances that sting the most 2 months ago:
I think this pinpointa what makes configuring Linux so much fun for me. It’s one little problem/challenge after the next, it never prevents me from working but it does always give me something to work toward. Currenrly working on a notification display for my bar, and I hope it will be just as satisfying in the end as when I got my mouse to animate with movements or when I got my config to set my wallpapers correctly no matter the host.
- Comment on Dolphin Progress Report: Release 2503 2 months ago:
Awesome stuff :) I look forward to seeing a Wayland backend implemented, so Dolphin can join all the other emulators on the modern Linux desktop as it deserves.
- Comment on [Help] OpenWrt wifi to ethernet repeater 2 months ago:
When I follow this guide and get to the part where DNS server of wwan to the root router’s IP, I am not able to ping anything from a ssh session into the router (I get “bad address ‘google.com’”. So, I set the DNS address to 1.1.1.1 which restored ping’s functionality. However, with this configuration the network does not appear to be shared at all. My PC, connected to the LAN port, cannot access the internet (regardless of forcing a static IP for the pc)

You can’t self-host Ghost? I’d like to stay on the same domain indeed, not wanting to also mess up folks subscribed to RSS.

Awesome! Once this is out, I think I will migrate my blog from WriteFreely to Ghost. I hope I can reduce disruption for existing followers though…
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 4 months ago:
Thank you! It definitely does, I will be using that Restic article for sure! I actually use NixOS on my main laptop, which I found via Vimjoyer’s videos. It’s great, though I wish documentation for more advanced usage was more readily available. I started making the server, currently my biggest roadblock is testing the infrastructure without going live (I made the flake generate a VM for now but it takes a long time to build it every edit and I can’t even get ssh working) and figuring out how I’ll eventually install it with minimal downtime.
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 4 months ago:
I want to move my whole server to NixOS. It’s gotten to the point where I have no idea where all the Ubuntu config files went, and handling half of it via Docker vs baremetal. I hope this will allow me to set up proper backups as well, and maybe get better at Nix! I started a few days ago using the VM feature, but it’s tricky to work on for now, perhaps I haven’t found the right workflow.
