- Comment on ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain 11 months ago:
I just use *.loc.al a local dns entry in my own server with local addresses using devicename.loc.al and loc.al itself going to my gateway/routerpage. 😅
- Comment on What do you use to mount encrypted drives on boot? 1 year ago:
I’ve always used Veracrypt since I discovered its existence.
Nice inconspicuous encrypted loop-files you can mount manually when needed (or automount at boot, but that already makes them a lot less safe) and backup to any cloud safely, as without the password they are useless.
- Comment on Poor video playback quality on Kodi 1 year ago:
Yeah, as said in another comment too: That’s very likely VLC’s post-processing. It doesn’t look bad on your Kodi, VLC just enhances it as it plays while Kodi actually just shows you the real quality. 😅
I use Kodi too as part of a whole automation setup (so I can use it like a free Netflix that only adds anything I watch and I only need to add filters once per series) and I have gotten used to it now as it doesn’t bother me anymore, but in the beginning I do remember noticing it more too, thus having to make that hard choice for the ease of automation over post-processing. 😅
Kodi is worth it on my Android box, though, as VLC’s magic doesn’t seem to be so effective on Android(TV)… 😜

You could use Nano (or Vim) over SSH, or set up a Samba-share from the server and mount it in your local OS somewhere.

- Comment on is it a good beginner Python project to write a hacking software?? 1 year ago:
Your comment just reminded me of an old Microsoft screensaver just displaying random real BSOD’s of Windows versions. Need to find that one again.
Also always fun to set up in a friend’s (who ideally has no screensaver set up) computer as a harmless prank too. 😅😂
- Comment on is it a good beginner Python project to write a hacking software?? 1 year ago:
I used to love the interactive ones where it really gives the impression for yourself too that you’re hacking, so if it’s complicated and fake-functional enough it might be something.
Dunno why anyone would want to downvote this, but here’s back up to 1. 😜

- Comment on ‘It scars you for life’: Workers sue Meta claiming viewing brutal videos caused psychological trauma 1 year ago:
Pretty sure that if you get to see a lot of “Violent Content” on your Facebook, you’re either following the wrong groups or have wrong friends who you chose to allow to (or you’re specifically looking it up 😅). If there’s anything Facebook is good at, it’s at keeping people cosy in their selective information bubble. I myself have maybe had 5 posts that actually had shocking content I rather not had seen in the 14 years I was on Facebook, and I think most of them by the same 1 person that I eventually asked to exclude me if they post stuff alike… 😅
Not gonna argue that visual shock trauma isn’t a thing, it surely is! (I have sadly collected a small (mind-)museum of those in my lifetime myself.) Nor am I gonna claim Facebook “isn’t that bad”, it definitely is too! But this just has moneyfishing written all over it.
👴🏼 Oh, well,… Back in my day, when we saw something that would scar us for life, we’d immediately call as many friends possible to come look at it too… 👴🏼 😅
- Comment on Apple will be able to update iPhones while they're still in the box, report claims 1 year ago:
Sooo, if they charge it in the store you’re not gonna take it home and unbox it?.. The order of doing those doesn’t change the time they take… 😅
- Comment on Apple will be able to update iPhones while they're still in the box, report claims 1 year ago:
So they’re going to update the entire stock one by one it without charging it every update? The only other way is to only do it one time when the phobe is bought. Which will take the sane amount of time in the store… 🤷♂️
- Comment on Apple will be able to update iPhones while they're still in the box, report claims 1 year ago:
I’m assuming they just do it to the latest when you buy them, cause if you do it too many times it will eventually have died in the box. 😅 If do, you wait the same amount of time in the store but without the satisfaction of seeing it update, and if they do them regularly it’ll have the possibility to be 0% battery and not be able to update in the box anymore (which would also be bad for the battery)… 😅
- Comment on Apple will be able to update iPhones while they're still in the box, report claims 1 year ago:
I don’t think that wireless charging is fast enough to counter a phone updating yet, tbh… And constant charging would deteriorate the battery.
- Comment on Please check you kids' Halloween candy, everyone 1 year ago:
I’d argue talking about how babies are made with mommy and daddy is just as appropriate or inappropriate as talking about changing sex, depending on the age, occasion and intent.
Changing ‘Gender’ without deviating sexually however should be fine imho… I’m a straight male and I have never shunned anybody for what they think or believe, many of which were very different than my experience of life or personal belief. If I can’t relate I just accept, and I don’t think any information about genderfluidity would have changed me, but instead maybe even better educated me to know how to respect others that are cause I’ve been in quite a few arguments about it just for being uninformed about something that didn’t apply to me. It’s harder than it should be to ask “why” for reasoning and clarification as a binary without apparently sounding condescendent, so advance information about it would have actually been helpful to me… 😅
- Comment on Please check you kids' Halloween candy, everyone 1 year ago:
Oh, these kinds of “banbedbook for children”… 😅
Thank you so much for not just downvoting me, but at least enlightening me of what I didn’t get! I appreciate that! Many just downvote without making me any wiser, even when I ask for clarification… 😅
Either way, those kinds of books are ibdeed not fpr children and are bad to be getting in candy, hands down agreed on that! I just saw “banned books” and assumed books with information that make you question the powers that be or the preset values taught… It’s ok to think differently and to critic information that only comes from one side of the story. But it of course is a bad thing to give any sexual or gorey content to children, I just didn’t think about that kind of bad when it is put in front of “books”, tbh, if it’s sexual content I’d more expect it to be ‘pictures’ then instead of ‘books’,…
Anyway, again, thanks for clarifying!

No more tedious updating after unpacking the new iphone, instead you can now tediously wait already after buying it while we do it for you through the box.

Must be bad books? Usually banned books are a good thing. Learn what nobody wants you to know! 😅
Or am I missing some kind of sarcasm here? 😅

- Comment on Australia fines Musk's X platform $386,000 over anti-child abuse gaps 1 year ago:
Well, if those become necessary I’ll just have to add Mastodon, along with anything known too well, in the bin for government-ruined software and start using hidden services… I will never willfully comply to spyware, not even (read: especially not) government-approved ones.
I have no idea if Mastodon has any plans adding those to the instance software though… Probably will if they get lawfully obligated I suppose, but I still sincerely hope not (as I still also sincerely hope this proposal gets dismissed for the obvious contradicting privacy laws it breaks and the vulnerabilities of backdoors).
- Comment on Australia fines Musk's X platform $386,000 over anti-child abuse gaps 1 year ago:
Since there is no hierarchical top general moderator/admin and every instance is under supervision by the respective owners of these instances, responsibility of safety is technically forwarded to individual instance admins as far as their instance goes. Or that’s what I make of it at least, anyone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. Also, the above conclusion does not include any possible random future law made up to state differently (decision-making entities have weird unpredictable logics… 😅)
As far as for Mastodon itself, it could use some upgrades in its user management and reporting features, though (an option to automate instant reactions (like tempban until reviewed) on certain categories of reports (like child abuse and extreme/shocking violence) to prevent anyone reported for the those kinds of things actively being able to continue until an admin sees and processes the report and reports are definitely not visible enough yet).
- Comment on I’m about to throw my entire Pihole out the window 1 year ago:
I have a 5G CGNAT ISP router, but distanced myself from it by adding my own full access router connected via a LAN cable to my ISP one and using its wifi instead of the ISP’s wifi. This prevents the ISP router from stealing IP addresses (it can literally do whatever it wants to its IP ranges as long as it feeds internet through the LAN cable), and gives me full control over local network IP addresses (as I also am not provided any login to the ISP router).
Might be an extra NAT, but that kinda becomes moot being behind CGNAT that can’t open external ports anyway.
