- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 1 week ago:
I have YouTube bookmarked to go directly to subscriptions and I have revanced configured to open directly to subscriptions. I’ve still seen trending as a tab in the sidebar on the website, and accidentally tapped on it back before vanced existed.
All of that said, I did just check and it’s way more difficult to find now. It’s near the bottom of the sidebar in browser, and iirc it used to have its own frustratingly dedicated tab in the mobile app, which it no longer does.
- Comment on Photo management - storing friends' photos 1 week ago:
Figured I’d ask here as thought self-hosters would care most about looking after their photos.
Couldn’t be more wrong in my case. I host immich so I don’t have to worry about taking care of my photos. I hate taking care of my photos. I hate organizing them, and almost never go back to look at them anyways. Immich just yeets them onto my NAS and I can use visual search to sometimes find what I’m looking for with nearly zero effort from me.
All of that, to answer your question, I just throw them on Immich and they appear on the timeline in roughly the correct spot. I also will often share a link, asking friends and family to upload to my Immich server.

Occasionally a video I like will get to trending and I’ll question my taste in media.
- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 1 week ago:
Use browser plug-ins and revanced.
- Comment on YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list 1 week ago:
I’m not sure how you can be so invested in YouTube and not at least be aware of trending. Have I ever looked at it? Not intentionally. Am I aware of it? Yeah.
- Comment on goodbye plex 2 weeks ago:
Host both. Keep plex up for your gma, Jellyfin for everyone else. Tbh Jellyfin is also pretty intuitive.
- Comment on The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures 2 weeks ago:
He wasn’t just critical of it, he spread misinformation about it. It was wild to watch someone be so completely and utterly wrong, then double and triple and quadruple down on it.
- Comment on Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet shared 2 weeks ago:
I like Craigslist, and honestly it’s pretty good now. There just isn’t anyone on there as compared to Facebook marketplace.
- Comment on Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet shared 2 weeks ago:
It’s fuckin’ unavoidable. I don’t use any part of it, except for Marketplace, because nothing like it exists. It doesn’t matter if it’s shit, it’s where the stuff is listed for sale.
As for the rest of it, I just quit. Conversations I used to have on messenger have moved elsewhere.
- Comment on Your TV Is Spying On You 3 weeks ago:
My thoughts exactly. My Xbox is spying on my instead.

And if it does, they’ll thank him for helping them to disconnect.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 4 weeks ago:
Ahh, that’s valid. I’ve been wanting to build a (relatively) small 16TB SSD NAS for video editing, after which I could dump footage to my main NAS. SSD NAS systems can definitely make sense depending on your use case. Hell, you can even game off of them if you’ve got 10gig networking.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 4 weeks ago:
Why do you turn off the NAS at night? Reminds me of my grandparents turning off the wifi at night.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 4 weeks ago:
Why do so many of you throw tantrums over this
Sweet sweet irony.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 5 weeks ago:
If it’s random and unfair, why do I consistently win more than others I play with?
Many good games have some luck, some skill, and some strategy. Mario Kart has all of these. Strategy in how and when to use your items, skill to drive/drift/etc, and luck in which items you get. It strikes a really good balance of this, which results in me, someone who’s an above average player, winning most of the time, but keeping it fun for those who aren’t as skilled, like my parents, where sometimes they can get one over me due to some luck, strategy, or a mistake on my part.
Finally, let people live their lives, and maybe git gud. It kinda sounds like you just suck, and are salty about it.
- Comment on True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup) 1 month ago:
My speakers at home hum due to my Logitech Powerplay Matt, even with a ground loop isolator. It sucks. I was kinda surprised that it wasn’t an issue with this setup.
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 1 month ago:
I understand what you’re saying. What would make GrayJay open source? Allowing contribution?
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 1 month ago:
By the acronym, opening up the source code to the public would make it open source. What is Grayjay missing to be open source then? Accepting contributions?
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 1 month ago:
It’s free, and I see an official Github repository containing the code, is that not foss?
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 month ago:
Sure, that’s why I paid for Plex Pass. Plex isn’t free.

You’d be better off directly donating.

How would you know that iOS is trash if it’s vaporware?
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 months ago:
I’m still at my first job in Software Development.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 months ago:
Most of our engineering is on Linux
God I wish my company allowed that
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 2 months ago:
Wow, a take that isn’t just “AI bad?” Wild.
Yeah I thought it was weird that it couldn’t do this in windows in the first place when you had to click a button to allow the AI to change your computer from light to dark mode or something. It was right 99% of the time in my brief testing, and just include an undo button in case it isn’t.
All of that said, I’m glad to be on Linux where there isn’t any AI built into my OS, but I’m also not the target audience for needing an AI to change my settings for me.

Sure, but that doesn’t mean we should just print garbage because others are doing worse.
- Comment on Papra, the minimalistic document archiving platform 2 months ago:
Damn I’ve gotta set up one of these, whether it be this one or paperless. The text recognition in photos would be huge.
- Comment on 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know 2 months ago:
I’m going to go look for a link to share.
- Comment on Good mail server for selfhosting 4 months ago:
Yeah, all the threads I came across when I looked into this were like “Self host everything! Except email” so I haven’t looked into it.
