- Comment on My PS1 died today 14 hours ago:
unless you’re a die hard that insists the hardware be 100% original.
Ugh. I cannot stand purists. I will happily upgrade or modify things to keep the original “look”, but with modern functionality.

It is a huge problem here, unfortunately.
- Comment on The cloud is just someone else's computer, but the internet is just someone else's network 1 week ago:
Not in the US they aren’t.
- Comment on The cloud is just someone else's computer, but the internet is just someone else's network 1 week ago:
It is apparently regulatory hell to get up and running.
By design, of course.
- Comment on The cloud is just someone else's computer, but the internet is just someone else's network 1 week ago:
I think you might be misunderstanding something here, because this is already how your current ISP works.

No thanks, double-NATing is not my idea of fun when it comes to self-hosting.

Yo wtf

Ratchet & Clank
My man
- Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? 2 weeks ago:
because, realistically, who plays games only unmodded? Children? Console gamers?
A lot of people…
- Comment on Got my robot vacuum running Valetudo the other night... 3 weeks ago:
I’m honestly not entirely sure. I’ve been eyeballing Valetudo for a few years now, but the price of the supported robots was out of my budget until I happened onto the $20 Wyze from eBay. Took a chance and won big. I’m into it a whopping $65. And a bit of labor to swap the motherboard (mine refused to run ADB at all). But that’s the fun part for me.
- Comment on what would you do with an old dell server? 4 weeks ago:
So, uh, exactly how “old” is that server? Because, if I understood it correctly, it should be based on 8th gen Intel, which makes this a solid piece of equipment in any homelab (provided you can deal with the noise and power draw).
- Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole? 1 month ago:
As tempting as that is, I’m not expecting to build up something that hefty. Love the wireminding and all, but I’m hoping to keep this as something I can mount nicely in my teeny tiny network cabinet. The horsepower I’m looking for, alongside the low thermal and power loads, are my goal. Maybe I’ll expand beyond eventually, but who knows?
Understood! I’m just showing you that a tiny/mini/micro PC is incredibly beefy for what it is, especially when you stuff it with an i7 and a bunch of RAM.
Thank you for the suggestion though! Also love the R&C refs :) Still need to finish Rift Apart.
I name all my physical machines after R&C characters. HA is “Ace” as in Ace Hardlight, and the Optiplex (running Frigate) on the left is “Skrunch”… As in Qwark’s monkey sidekick 😂
Rift Apart was super fun. The final battle sequence is awesome for grinding if you wanna 100% the game. I’ve got it down to a science haha.
- Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole? 1 month ago:
I use RPi 4 2Gb for Pi-Hole.
Pi-hole will run on far less than that. I run Pi-hole and PiVPN on a Zero W. Uptime is over a year now.
- Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole? 1 month ago:
Buy a 7th gen Intel based tiny/mini/micro PC instead of a Pi or NUC. You get much more bang for your buck. 35W max draw. They are far more capable than people give them credit for. I run 3 of them (4 if you count the Mac mini).
- Comment on Another update that no one asked for 2 months ago:
That’s kinda their schtick though. They’ve been that way since before they split off from Owncloud.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 2 months ago:
I just don’t understand why I’d want the hardware at home instead of remote. I don’t have much space at ome, and my home internet is crappy.
Because plenty of us do have space and have good internet.
- Comment on How to manage docker compose apps? 2 months ago:
Same here. It’s so much easier to use than Portainer, no weird licensing shit, and works parallel to existing stacks. Also helps me keep Docker stacks organized.
I have 4 VMs on my cluster specifically for Docker, each with its own Dockge instance, which can all be linked together to access all Docker stacks from any instance.
- Comment on Entry-Level NAS recommendations? 2 months ago:
“NAS” is just an acronym for “Network Attached Storage”.
A NAS is literally any computer that is setup to host storage that’s accessible over a network. That’s it. Don’t get suckered into overpriced underpowered crap. Literally any PC made in the last decade has more horsepower than a brand new “dedicated NAS”. A Pentium G4560T (i.e. 6th/7th gen Intel) will run OMV or TrueNAS or whatever without a hitch. Stuff an old ATX case with hard drives, load OMV or TrueNAS or something, and go to town.

- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 2 months ago:
And this is why I’m setting up Jellyfin. I paid for a lifetime Plex pass a while ago, and I would have been happy to toss them some more money if they had just stuck to the core service (like Nabu Casa/Home Assistant - absolutely worth $7/mo), but nooooooooooooooo Plex decided to spin up their own streaming servers and go down that path instead.
I smell an IPO coming soon.
- Comment on Reevaluating my password management 5 months ago:
I use KeePass (Keepass2Android, KeePassXC, OG KeePass, and KeePassium) for everything. Been using KeePass in general for 20-ish years.
Recently, I decided to export all of my passwords from Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, import the data into my KeePass database under their own folders, then delete everything from the browsers. That way I can move entries that weren’t already in the database to their respective locations in the database hierarchy, delete duplicates, and change insecure passwords.
The database is hosted on my phones (work and personal), laptop, gaming PC, and a server at home, all synced with Syncthing. My work laptop also has Portable KeePass that accesses the database via WebDAV to my server.
- Comment on Reevaluating my password management 5 months ago:
I do the same thing on my laptop and gaming PC. My only beef with KeePassXC is that they refuse to implement WebDAV, despite the OG KeePass having it. Otherwise it’s fantastic.
- Comment on Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OnTracks] 5 months ago:
Yeah, super hard to find…
- Comment on Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OnTracks] 5 months ago:
It never went away. It’s still a feature. It’s just stored locally on your device. Thats it.
- Comment on Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OnTracks] 5 months ago:
Misleading as fuck. The Timeline feature never went away - it’s just device-only.
- Comment on PSA: filebrowser is no longer being actively developed 5 months ago:
Ah, this makes sense now. I was wondering why it hadn’t been updated in a while, that was my only hangup.

Not if you get a laptop that supports battery charge limiting. Like a Thinkpad.
