• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have I Been Pwned owner, pwned.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most companies add an email header like “X-PHISHTEST” to the phishing tests (and a corresponding spam filter rule) to ensure they don’t get caught by spam filters. If you look at the headers of a spam email, the company test emails will have that header.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have I Been Pwned owner, pwned.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you look at the headers, you can tell which ones are fake phishing and real phishing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What host names do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer creates endless Wikipedia feed to fight algorithm addiction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And doomscrolling Wikipedia is still healthier than doomscrolling anything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer creates endless Wikipedia feed to fight algorithm addiction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The addiction isn’t being defeated, it’s just being redirected from something worthless to something useful. Well, at least less useless.

  80,000/70 ≈ 1150 1 Million * 1150 = 1.15 Billion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar power surpasses coal in EU for first time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The the problem with wind is that it’s fairly unreliable (you don’t know when you’ll get power), as well as being relatively high maintenance (though not compared to coal).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some self hosted services that you think are essential?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Android app works well. I rarely have issues with it, except when switching back and forth between the web player and and the app, when it sometimes doesn’t properly sync progress fast enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some self hosted services that you think are essential?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In terms of most used for me, it would be:

  • Nextcloud: contains my contacts and calendar synced with my phone, as well as access to files on my server from any web browser.
  • Home assistant: both automated and remote control of your lights, thermostat, etc.
  • Audiobookshelf: only really useful if you have an audiobook collection
  • Vault Warden: self-hosted bitwarden. Not really all that important to self-host, since a bit warden’s clients are open source.
  • Frigate: only useful if you have security cameras.
  • Navidrome: only useful if you have a music collection.
  • Jellyfin: only useful if you have a movie / TV collection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
