I got tired of the torn up cuffs and jean cuffs are uncomfortable to walk on when you don’t have shoes on.
- Comment on I found an interesting USB-C alternative to barrel jack wall warts. Thought I'd share... 1 week ago:
I think that is basically what this is. I was actually looking for a replacement power supply for a cat feeder when I found this. Considered it for a minute then discarded the idea as cool, but overly expensive in my case. If I had had a spare 30w USB-C power supply, might have gone another way, but the older wall wart style power supply only cost me $15.

- Comment on Does anyone know where or even IF I can purchase this scope mount part? 2 weeks ago:
Like others have said, your best bet is to just buy new a new scope mount and rings from any firearms shop. Easier and less headache. You will need to know your scope’s tube diameter.
However, if you are dead set on repair rather than replace (and are in the US), for oddball engineering projects like this I tend to use McMaster Carr. If they if they don’t have what you need I would be very surprised. They are an engineering supplier, and have prices to match. But they sell anything thats not electronics. Excellent customer service too.
For electronics builds or repairs, I recommend DigiKey.
Between the two you could build or repair just about anything.
- Comment on Suggestion request: Self-hosted app for shared directories like google drive 2 weeks ago:
Might take a look at NextCloud though it may be overkill as it’s intended to be a full Google Cloud or Office365 replacement. On the other hand, it is modular so you only have to set up what you actually need.
- Comment on How can we make lemmy have more relevance? 3 weeks ago:
It’s the content that makes a platform relevant. So follow the usual youtube call to action.
Subscribe, comment, share and post.
Don’t bother preaching, it’s a waste of breath and is just annoying to the average person.
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 3 weeks ago:
If I remember the Halo books correctly (it’s been a while) the Spartan armor started out a golden color but dulled to green hue due to hits from Covenant energy weapons over time. Not particularly relevant to this discussion but I thought it was an interesting bit of lore.
I need to go back and reread them. Great series and well written for the most part.
- Comment on How come id Software / Bethesda have never sued Bungie / Microsoft over the similarity between Doomguy and Master Chief? 3 weeks ago:
Originally doom guy was just a face at the bottom of the HUD that grunted and got bloody as you took hits. The only images of him I remember was just a marine in green combat armor, not too dissimilar to modern real world combat armor, standing on a pile of dead demons and zombies(1993) and the 3rd person cinematics from Doom 3 (early 2000s ish?) where again he looked just like a normal human marine.
Halo come around in the mid 2000’s and Master Chief was never shown outside his armor or with his helmet off. Outside the TV show I’m not sure if that is still the case.
Not sure when the modern images of doom guy came about but I think it was around 2015. Probably not earlier.

Thank god it was with Sweden’s permission. For a moment there I thought we had yet another surprise war coming out of left field.
- Comment on Looking for ... inventory management, I guess? 3 weeks ago:
There’s a couple of options.
I’ve used Grocy. It’s not intended for that particular use case but it would work. More for Grocery management.

- Comment on If Nothing is Exposed, Am I Safe? 5 weeks ago:
Depends on your threat model, but you’re probably fairly secure from remote unauthorized access right now.
Given that I’m American, I would put the *arr stack behind a dedicated VPN container like gluetun and set Gluetun up using a “no logs” VPN.
For remote access, Tailscale can probably get around that double NAT. If you have it on your devices as well as your server, you won’t necessarily need to expose anything publicly.
If that’s not an option, you could set up an external VPS to run a reverse proxy (Caddy perhaps) and use the Tailscale connection to connect the VPS to your home server. There are fully self hosted ways to do this (Headscale comes to mind), but Tailscale is how I personally would solve this.

Good article, but dear god, either hire an editor, or put it through a spelling and grammar checker. Preferably both.

I would have been surprised if they hadn’t fired her. Good on those two for causing a ruckus for a cause they believe in though. Nonviolent one too, well done.

No.
- Comment on Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? 1 month ago:
It’s doable. I personally run my Jellyfin instance publicly available and there’s maybe 3 people who use it regularly. With my internet connection, WAN side users are limited to about 720p but I’ve had the 3 of us all playing different media at the same time on occasion. The main limiting factors on the number of simultaneously active users is how much upload bandwidth you have and how quickly you can transcode video files. Any 10 year old box will be able to handle 1 or 2 users at a time provided it doesn’t need to do a bunch of transcoding. If your building a box, would use a 11th or 12 gen Intel or if you must go AMD, have a graphics card to handle the transcoding. The “build a box” route can probably handle 4 or 5 simultaneous users, possibly more depending on your hardware choices. The main limiting factor in that case would be your upload.

- Comment on Between Linux or Windows which do you think will be first to have a viable OS for quantum computers? 2 months ago:
I suspect the Linux kernel would support quantum first. Somehow I don’t see a multi billion dollar multinational moving fast enough to beat some caffeine addicted teen looking for street cred.
- Comment on Looking for a VPS. I don't know who to choose. 2 months ago:
Before I grew enough spare capacity at home to self host our family’s server, I was using MCPro hosting. It was fine and at the time, cheap. I understand they’ve been bought by Apex now though. No experience with them.

- Comment on Email provider for home server alerts 2 months ago:
I started running into the same problem about 2 years ago. Found a company called Send in Blue ( which has since been bought and is now called Brevo). They’re a commercial mail sender but have a free tier. How long that will continue to be available, I don’t know, but for now it solves my email sending issues.
