- Comment on These are the kind of reactions I get when I recommend Anubis to deal with bots at work, what alternatives are there? 2 weeks ago:
The Issue: When I send my coworkers to anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/botstopper they find the mascot and URL weird.
You’ve decided without listening to the responses
Botstopper doesn’t have the .lol domain, and doesn’t use the anime cat girl splash
It’s not even expensive
You don’t have to tell your peers it is just a rebadged version of the same website, just say “look I’ve found another one that does the same thing but without the domain and splashscreen probs you complained about”
- Comment on Revisiting Rule #3 Hey everyone, as I previously mentioned the rules here are 4 months ago:
Yeah the updated/edited version works for me, nice one.

I’d replace “be prepared to explain to others” etc with
“Please ensure it is clear in your post how it relates to selfhosting”
Be prepared is a bit vague. Your preceding explanation calls out that what is in the poster’s mind is often not clear to others, and the rules are there to remind people of the standards required. My suggestion is still a little vague, but I suspect anything blunter might cause offence.
- Comment on What are your self–hosted alternatives for inter device communication? 4 months ago:
It looks like some FAQ answer has leaked into their main website. At a quick dig it seems that Winpinator is the original name for the windows port of warpinator
- Comment on What are your self–hosted alternatives for inter device communication? 4 months ago:
I have sftp setup on my 2 main PCs and a client on my phone (it’s not a server). For the rest of the family who have dual Mint/Windows boots I also have warpinator installed on mine and theirs - it’s point to point for the enrolled devices but is currently only setup to work within the LAN.
Primary filesharing is simply the NAS which is visible to all devices on the LAN (can be made available externally but I haven’t). This is a recent addition and no one uses warpinator any more.
Edit to clarify I don’t have sftp server on phone
