• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I won against AT&T⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  this reads like a badly written LLM spam

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a BMP picture that was common on Windows 3.1(1) (woman wearing hat)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  honestly i’d say lg android phones. quite a few of them had good DACs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks fantastic, I’ll actually be trying this. Love how it doesn’t lock my files into some obscure format like seafiles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just my area or has this been an insanely humid summer?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  korea here. has rained like crazy for the last few weeks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it weird I don't typically answer how old I am anymore, because literally nobody besides my family believes me?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say this is actually a good thing…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it could enable targeted attacks. just use a vpn if you can afford one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would I repurpose a work laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Make sure to not have AMT or Computrace, just use linux/bsd instead of windows just to be sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe install openwrt/ddwrt?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't more people use Bilibili instead of YouTube?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  isn’t worse than youtube? last time i looked at it i couldn’t stream videos in high resolution and couldn’t sign up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the ui was dogshit but it was extremely lightweight and fast on my potato with 512mb ram and 60gb ide hdd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this clock icon in my phone status bar?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i noticed i get this with scheduled jobs in tasker too. seems like they all use android’s alarm system for these sorta things

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is no such thing as truly objective YouTube search results⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i tend to use video.google.com on vpn or invidious to search, seems to work pretty well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dead OS Walking: 30 Days on Windows XP in 2025 — fireborn⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever since Supermium/Mypal68 came XP is 100% usable albeit insecure. Runs MS Office 2010 and OpenOffice so there’s no issue with document compatibility too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Birthday Gift for Grandma⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the screen okay for her vision? Might not be optimal…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hidden cost of self-hosting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  2k bookmarks? i would just automate the process of saving each of them locally and just forget it lol. if it’s somehow needed later search on the older archive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did YouTube just disable video playback for people using adblockers or is it just me?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  seems to work for me rn but youtube’s web ui has been extremely slow for the past few years. videos take more than 15 secs to load and start… to the point where running a terminal and doing yt-dlp & mpv is much quicker/easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Commodore shocks retro TechTuber with option to buy 'the whole company'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  do they have anything left except the branding…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TubeArchivist alternatives that store data in an archive friendly manner?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i just use yt-dlp with a config that stores all metadata. seems to work fine… but its kinda hassle to find what you need among all downloaded stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A WYSIWYG editor for personal website?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  seamonkey’s a direct descendant of netscape communicator and still includes a wysiwyg editor. it’s pretty good for basic stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  highly doubt it, but i’ve seen some similar cases…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  go to a library and borrow it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  email does still seem like the least bad way of receiving stuff from corpos though. I’d rather get emails than whatsapp messages or nonfree apps’ push notification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stumbled upon this art (?) in Korea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  lol its actually a traditional game. try searching 말뚝박기
