- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 5 weeks ago:
I use both samba and NFS (with freebsd) on the same disk for my freebsd, linux and win7 desktop machine. All works perfectly fine.
I’m running an rsync daemon for large transfers and use copyparty for easily grabbing files on phones etc.
- Comment on Is it better to: [A] watch videos content on a flagship/midrange smartphone that you already have, OR [B] get a cheap tablet (say, around $200 USD) to watch videos? 1 month ago:
I would try getting a tablet. I don’t like Apple devices because of their “jailed” software policy but iPads have awesome display panels, maybe getting an older model for cheap could be good. Have an iPad 3 (2012) and the panel is still miles better than my cheap Lenovo P11 (2021).

- Comment on Can I self-host on old iPhones? 1 month ago:
You have an iPhone 9? It doesn’t exist, you probably have something else.
iPhone 7 got Linux ported, so yes you can. Try looking for postmarketOS (though there aren’t that many working features, it’s good enough for running servers)

- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 2 months ago:
probably because of CGNAT or torrent trackers reporting fake stuff. Usually when the first seen and last seen equals it’s the latter, otherwise it’s the former. It’s pretty accurate for me…
- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 2 months ago:
it could enable targeted attacks. just use a vpn if you can afford one.
