- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 4 days ago:
The fact that jellyfin let’s you sort your media exactly the way you want without promoting or hiding content already puts JF miles ahead any commercial streaming services. The ease of mind is unbeatable.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 5 days ago:
I do the closest thing I can, which is lick my smoke alarm every night and sleep with 1kg of banana next to my pillow.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 5 days ago:
That definitely helps putting my mind off of the fear of radiation. Thanks.
- Comment on I love science 1 week ago:
That’s because your frigid heart doesn’t understand the science of looooove
- Comment on Vietnam introduces tougher penalties on e-cigarette and heated tobacco use 1 week ago:
This can only be because of tobacco industry lobbying.
- Comment on I know its hard to digest. 1 week ago:
What’s this, 2023?
- Comment on Where are you running your wireguard endpoint? 1 week ago:
On the home server on the host. I couldn’t figure out how to make it work in a container and still have ssh access to the host, which was my goal…
- Comment on What DDNS providers you guys recommend? 1 week ago:
Same! I setup a cronjob calling namecheap dyndns API.
- Comment on UN expresses concern about suppression of Estonian Orthodox Christian Church rights 1 week ago:
What a weird rake from the UN. Minority rights? This is the biggest religious institution in the country, not some minority. The church has no business receiving money from the state.
- Comment on EU to unveil plan to tackle housing crisis 2 weeks ago:
And I think enterprises should pay higher taxes than individuals even for the first house, as companies are not people and thus don’t need a place to live.
- Comment on Amazon says blocked 1,800 North Koreans from applying for jobs 2 weeks ago:
I do wonder what the future for NK is. A lot of the cyber crime they commit is for financial reasons. As an extremely isolated country, barred from trading with most of the world, with most of the population stuck in poverty, there’s not that many ways for it to leave its current situation. And because they are already isolated, they are immune to the usual sanctions. So cyber crime will continue being a very lucrative business.
- Comment on at what point in life it's too late to go back to school? 2 weeks ago:
Depends what you want. It’s never late to pursue an academic interest. But realistically if you’re going back to school to change careers, probably from 35 up it starts being hard to justify. If you just want to go to school to supplement your current skills, it’s never too late.
- Comment on 1936 - "absolutely invisible even with the most perfectly fitted gown" 2 weeks ago:
Tampax was indeed designed by a physician. A male one, if you can believe. So when he says they are super comfortable, you know it’s true because it’s a man’s opinion.
- Comment on Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages? 2 weeks ago:
I still hate it and will always hate it.

- Comment on NASA loses contact with MAVEN Mars orbiter 4 weeks ago:
Oof that’s frustrating…
I’m surprised that operating MAVEN costs 24 million dollars per year. Why could that be?
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I think you should cosplay as a nazi the same way we wear fake guns. You better make it abundantly clear that it’s a toy/costume.
- Comment on Gravity! 5 weeks ago:
That you make all water bulge at the equator.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I still don’t understand how Searx is able to operate for free. Don’t the API calls cost money?
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 5 weeks ago:
That’s not intirely true. Some people definitely are like that, like in any country. Others agree that if you work and pay taxes, you deserve all the same benefits.
- Comment on Aid cuts have shaken HIV/Aids care to its core – and will mean millions more infections ahead 5 weeks ago:
Good thing that infectious diseases respect country borders, so this will have no repercussions on the west.
- Comment on Server and infrastructure building for me, a dummy 5 weeks ago:
Haha OK. DIY server is like legos, docker is playmobil.
- Comment on Server and infrastructure building for me, a dummy 1 month ago:
Maybe I can start shedding some light off docker.
When you start setting up a server, you end up having to setup many things. You install various programs and their dependencies. Sometimes those dependencies can conflict with each other, or you mess up your system by manually pasting some command you found on stack exchange. Then you need to manually keep all the software you use up-to-date and pray they don’t brick your server and force you to start over. And then when you need to update your OS or move to a new machine, you need to repeat this whole dance again.
Docker is like legos. You want to install jellyfin? There’s already a docker imagine for that. You just spin it up with some little configure file and you’re done. You want to setup a firewall? You want to setup https access? Automatic updates? There are docker images already made for it.
So you keep on setting up those docker containers and they all run in isolation but can communicate with each other. If you break something, you just restart one or all the containers and you always start fresh. Docker keeps nothing in memory, unless you explicitly want it (e.g. Your jellyfin config will presist in external config files).
Want to move to a new machine? You can just copy over the scripts that run the docker containers and those config files. Software updates? Just update the docker container and it handles all dependencies.
Also, Jellyfin all the way. It’s open source and free all the way.

Not just cromossomes matter. Intersex can be purely environmental and not genetic.
- Comment on spongebob big guy pants okay 1 month ago:
Would have been better without the dumb AI image
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 1 month ago:
Because the electricity pulls the magnets down in the same measure, so they meet in the middle. Newton’s 2nd law or something.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 1 month ago:
Depends on the price of the land.

Sounds like projection from the incel scientists.

What the fuck was that video. People running in all directions nd the security people completely powerless. Almost looks like a clueless AI video.
