• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open-Source is Just That⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  Lack of podcasts is a plus for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

  I can barely read the site. Light gray text on a bright white background is fucked up for people with even slight vision degradation.

  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.

  Pro Tip: Never quote ChatGPT. Use it to find the real source of info and then quote that.

  Plex tracks everything you watch

  Over the air broadcasts, DVD and Blurays from thriftshops bought with cash, jelly for your dowloads you get over VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low-level floppy operations with native floppy controller on older PC with modern Linux distribution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Its fun and rewarding to figure stuff out and awesome to write it up and share with others.

  I’ve had good results with ufiformat and usb floppies, but indeed only 3.5"

  Nice write up! Curious, was this to avoid using a USB floppy drive?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky now has 30 million users.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve come to realize that bluesky already had all lot of what I’m happy to not see on masto. Good that there is a place for it to exist without me.

  That content is also probably what the majority of people like about it.

  I mean labeling their posts accurately to give other the choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is reshaping social media, but advertising isn't off the table⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bluesky is already coming apart. My partner uses it and last night she got a video of a person being shot in her feed. No warning. No label. Just blam!

  Their influx of new users don’t all want to participate in labeling and moderation and they don’t seem to be able to handle it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Publicly routable IPv6 addresses behind CGNAT in home environment using Tailscale and VPS⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you can do this with routing because IPv6 doesn’t support splitting a /64 into subnets. Might work via virtual bridging over a vpn link. I don’t think tailscale supports layer 2 tunneling so you would need to use something else.
