- Comment on Any non-tech-background self-hosters? 2 months ago:
I work in logistics. I’ve always had a fascination with tech, and was leery of all these neato things on offer from big tech, from social media to the cloud.
Found out I could self-host, and got to learning.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 3 months ago:
I hate listening to my younger brother talk about technology. He is just a sheep in an apple pen, and perfectly happy. I don’t get it.
- Comment on Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed 8 months ago:
Oh no, it was everywhere, and I got into some decent arguments with those lovely people who ask you to show them how it’s going to have any effect on the fediverse at all, complete with citations.

- Comment on Liking an OS isn't a personality trait ❌ 8 months ago:
So anyways, I run Arch on my main gaming computer, and Debian on my servers and laptops.
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
…didn’t have to be the mouth. I’m still impressed.

I read this as “coroner” the first time, and it worked.

Nah. That’s what gives it that delicious weight.

- Comment on The U.S. economy is booming. So why are tech companies laying off workers? 9 months ago:
Even the state of the economy is spun these days. Who even knows these days, depending who you ask and what factors you look at.
- Comment on Home server tips and security for beginners? 9 months ago:
This is how I run all my services. I have a nice docker compose file, I always set my server computers up the same way so no editing will be necessary…
I was using podman, but like all Red Hat products, I found it to be unnecessarily complicated. Yes of course it has better security, but… Docker just works.

Good bot, if this is how you earn your keep.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
Different software purposes and all, but it vaguely puts me in the mind of the Sony compact disc DRM scandal.
- Comment on Jeffrey Katzenberg: AI Will Take 90% of Artist Jobs on Animated Films In Just Three Years 10 months ago:
Yeah, there is interesting music in certain areas, but not nearly as much as there used to be. I have to sift through a lot of nonsense to get to the good stuff.
- Comment on Instances in the free fediverses should consider "transitive defederation" from instances that federate with Meta 10 months ago:
As long as Meta can’t infect the rest of the fediverse, or track or monetize it…fine. I just never, ever want Meta shit on my timeline.

Get off my lawn!
- Comment on Jeffrey Katzenberg: AI Will Take 90% of Artist Jobs on Animated Films In Just Three Years 10 months ago:
Oh yeah. I haven’t seen that video and thanks for the recommendation, but I lived through Clear Channel and the rest scarfing up all my local radio stations and turning them to shit just as the internet was beginning to really catch on. They made it easy for the iPod revolution to happen, playing the same garbage on every station.
- Comment on Jeffrey Katzenberg: AI Will Take 90% of Artist Jobs on Animated Films In Just Three Years 10 months ago:
Here’s why I think it’s not just us getting older: every generation in the past would look at new music and be freaked out and shocked… we’re bored.
- Comment on Jeffrey Katzenberg: AI Will Take 90% of Artist Jobs on Animated Films In Just Three Years 10 months ago:
Music has been predominantly bland for 20 years or more, in the mainstream channels. It’s depressing.
And I want to say I just got older and so mainstream music isn’t for me, but… it’s bland. I’m not like older people aghast over Marilyn Manson. I’m older and fucking bored with how lame music is now.
- Comment on Amazon lays off 500 Twitch employees, hundreds more at MGM and Prime Video 10 months ago:
“As ‘sustainably’ as possible.” I love that one, because it makes it sound like they’re being kind to nature.
Nope, just profit.

Obsidian. I know it’s not open source, but it just felt right.
- Comment on Top 50 defederated instances 11 months ago:
I went on the tor network once.
I saw what was being offered (probably on an FBI Honeypot site), backed out slowly without touching anything, and never went back.
I really like privacy. Those people need it. There is a difference.

I had the same concerns as OP, and you have pretty much convinced me. Well done.
