- Comment on Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to practically surveil everyone? 4 days ago:
In the days of old people would cover both sides of a letter with writing and then tri-fold it before putting it in an envelope. this makes it much harder to read it through the envelope (by holding it up to a light).
- Comment on How does ISP or in general Torrenting tracking works? 1 week ago:
As long as you keep using a VPN+SOCKS proxy you have nothing to worry about from your ISP.
- Comment on Serverless Is An Architectural Handicap (And I'm Tired of Pretending it Isn't) 2 weeks ago:
What does this have to do with self-hosting?
- Comment on Vectrex Mini 5 weeks ago:
When I fist saw it I honestly thought it was something you put your phone into. Like those cheap cardboard “vr” headsets.
- Comment on Vectrex Mini 5 weeks ago:
Wow all that bezel and the wrong screen ratio makes this thing look nothing like a Vectrex.

The first rule of uptime is never have only one of something critical, including providers.
- Comment on how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days? 4 months ago:
I picked up a Denon DNP-730AE network audio player on ebay and I run Tiny-DLNA on my server where the music files and playlists are stored.
Works great and sounds great.

Yes its CLI based
- Comment on how to set up a remote managed node for mom 5 months ago:
You can do this easily with Tailscale or a similar wiregaurd vpn.
- Comment on Self hosted Teams alternative? 5 months ago:
It is easier than you think.
I never said how easy I think it is so what are you basing this response on?
- Comment on Questions about selfhosting Git, and making some small scratch on the side. 5 months ago:
I wouldn’t even think about charging anyone for anything until you get it all setup and dialed in with backups, etc and are sure you know how to keep the service running.
- Comment on Self hosted Teams alternative? 5 months ago:
Then write a howto instead of asking here. That shouldn’t take much.
- Comment on Alpine Linux intro 5 months ago:
How so? if I compromise a containerized app I get all the data that app has access to.
From a security standpoint, each and every container running actually increases the potential attack surface.
- Comment on Alpine Linux intro 5 months ago:
Keeping containers up to date for security and bugfixes is just as important as OS packages.
- Comment on Selfhosting on old MSI laptop 5 months ago:
If you are going to store important data I would get a new drive. Either replace the internal or attach an external.
Also make backups.
- Comment on Build your own antisocial writing rig with DOS and a USB key 6 months ago:
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t solve the work flow issue as my goal is to get my written text into a modern format that works with everything else I use, such as ascii or markdown.
Word Grinder hits all the marks.
- Comment on Build your own antisocial writing rig with DOS and a USB key 6 months ago:
I tried this setup for a bit. I liked Word Perfect for Dos but converting files to my linux desktop was a pain and I never found a workflow I liked.
For undisturbed writing, I use a laptop running a minimal cli only linux install with Word Grinder. Its a modern text mode writer app that stores files in text or markdown.

OP listed the apps they want to run and none of that was on their list
- Comment on Ideal Business Stack? 6 months ago:
A gaming rig is a waste of money because you don’t need a fast gpu on a such a server. You want a boring server box and even better one with built-in “ilo” remote management.
- Comment on How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture wars 6 months ago:
Everyone else agrees they are.
Really? Can I see the survey you sent everyone but me to determine this?
- Comment on How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture wars 6 months ago:
The story is not about a new breakthrough or even Energy tech at all. Its about policy.
- Comment on How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture wars 6 months ago:
The common definition of technology is any practical application of scientific priciples.
So yes, a shower head, a shoe horn, and chopsticks are all technology.
However, in the context of News and Discussion, Technology typically means Computing, Internet, Electronics, Telecoms, AI, Energy Tech, etc and usually with a focus on new developments, product releases, new breakthroughs, etc.
- Comment on How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture wars 6 months ago:
How is this a technology story?

welcome to the blocklist
- Comment on Open-Source is Just That 7 months ago:
It seems like the author is confusing open source with Open Source. The latter has a formal definition which includes a lot more than simple access to source code.
I also agree that no one is entittled to free support or enhancements, bugfizes, etc.
- Comment on Spotify debuts Gen AI ads, programmatic ad buying 7 months ago:
Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.
- Comment on Tinker WriterDeck - Convert any laptop and most chromebooks into a writer deck. 7 months ago:
I can barely read the site. Light gray text on a bright white background is fucked up for people with even slight vision degradation.
- Comment on Spotify debuts Gen AI ads, programmatic ad buying 7 months ago:
I’ve been a Spotify subscriber since 2012 and every year it has gotten worse and worse in term of UX.
I think this is the year I quit and go back to buying and ripping CDs.

Sorry but the pinephone is not great. I have one and its extremely underpowered to the point of uselessness.
Its like trying to use a 486 to as a current desktop.
