• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always happy when the holiday cactus flowers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine just started blooming 2 weeks ago! To think, I bought it almost dead from Walmart after Christmas last year and it is still around and kicking!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When people say the AI bubble will burst, what exactly does that mean?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think of AI as Beanie Babies. All the rage (excitement, not anger) and will eventually (hopefully) die on the vine when full AGI never comes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It will always be Twitter to me. X is a variable in a math problem… not a company name. Oh, I’m also lazy and have never used Twitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Radio station uses AI to interview the ghost of a dead Nobel-winner with 3 quirky zoomers who don't exist, seems baffled people don't like it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I primarily listen to podcasts when I’m driving, which isn’t much as I work from home. Once I hit my “I need music” I am reminded how extremely happy I have been with SiriusXM for two decades. Octane, for example, is all music with occasional DJ chatting about something music related.

  If I load up the app, they have “only music” stations which is just a straight up list of song after song after song.

  Not an ad… I genuinely love Sirius Octane! I have found so many new artists I would have never heard on FM radio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Softbank plans to cancel out angry customer voices using AI⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I work in the telecom industry in a call center environment. I just saw an addon for the platform we use with this exact capability. I laughed, rolled my eyes & shared it with peers for them to laugh.

  I would personally never recommend implementing something that can change the voice of the caller. Without having researched the product at all I will just say I cannot recommend any company install this capability. My primary reason for concern would be if legal proceedings have to go forward, what would stop either side from saying it was AI generated voice and not the actual caller? (Yes, for all I know the call recording may be stored raw.)

  Correct me if I am wrong, but the Bitwarden client itself already does this. I store several of my TOTP’s in my self hosted Vaultwarden/Bitwarden install.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Two users and a handful of service accounts. I use it so I have a centralized user authentication system instead of managing multiple individual user accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried a couple of LDAP solutions out there; Windows Server AD, Open LDAP, Samba4 in Debian, TurnKey Solutions LDAP before finally settling on Zentyal. It has a nice to use web GUI and can work in conjunction with AD RSAT tools that I have installed in a throwaway Windows VM for when I need more granular controls the web GUI can’t do.

  All my Debian VM’s and laptops connect to Zentyal AD via SSSD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud Hub 8 is now available⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just cannot find a use case for Nextcloud. I have gone as far as installing it and sync’ing it with my LDAP for user auth and sync pictures from my phone to my NAS. All the other features are just a big ole m’eh for me.

  This has just been my experience, so maybe I’m missing something that would just make it all click and make me not live without it. So far though, I’ve spun up and spun down an instance 3 times and never missed it afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good time⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or in my case you bought Toadies - Possum Kingdom and got pissed off that the entire album was only 37 minutes long and you payed $18 for it in the 90’s… Have not bought music sense. Viva la Streaming!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft to end its Android apps on Windows 11 subsystem in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not looked for stats but I’d love to see what the actual usage of the Microsoft Store is. I know I have never found a use for it and went as far as disabling the MS Store via GPO because I got tired of seeing it and for learning experience.

  I have never found a reason, for myself, where I would need to use the MS Store… ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Zabbix for agent / snmp based statistics.

  Uptime Kuma for up/down states with a webhook notification into Discord so I get instant alerts on my phone when one goes down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has google stopped working for finding anything?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have also noticed it seems harder to find stuff on Google now. My pet theory is that it is the building in of AI to search (Bing Chat anyone?) that is affecting Google search results. Lately, I have been going to Bard & ChatGPT to do searches but treat it more as a jumping off point to help point the direction of where or how to search.

  Not perfect, but just a method I’ve been playing with for the past month off & on.

  That’s an error on my part, apologies. I copy/pasted and tried to redact my url from the APP_URL=bookstack.example.com section and ended up deleting the entire line; yay replying from mobile. :|

  I currently use Bookstack on Docker in Unraid but the above docker compose snippet is from when I used a debian VM with docker installed on it to run my docker stacks.

  I’m going to go a different route than your question. If you have a spare m.2 slot and room in your PC, you can install a m.2 network adapter. I recently installed a m.2 to 2.5gbe adapters in a Dell 3060 SFF as a proof of concept at home for getting Proxmox ceph cluster working over 2.5gbe.

  I used this adapter. www.ebay.com/itm/256214788974?mkcid=16&mkevt=…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remote desktop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Apache Guacamole with Duo 2FA and LDAP authentication. All of it is self hosted and sitting behind Nginx for SSL. Works great aside from when I’m in the office and they do some security te blocking that I’m too lazy to find a work around for as I rarely go into the office.

  I do not use a VPN provider but damn, that’s cool as hell. Now how do I self host it? :D
