You can configure it to run as often as you want (well, I’m not sure about cloudflare, but with other services you can, like DuckDNS)

I didn’t love it, but I did get super into and really good at the piano tiles games.

- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 days ago:
You make a good point in the second half of your comment, but I’m not sure why you had to call me an idiot first. I don’t watch short form content where AI is apparently rampant, and I haven’t ever intentionally seeked it out elsewhere. As far as people being fried by AI goes, I’ve gotta be near the lower end of the spectrum.
My take isn’t even gung-ho on the feature, and I only commented on a single screenshot.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 days ago:
I’m not sure I’d go as far as saying it’s a good use of AI. Also, I’d you’d read the article (or even just the comments) you’d know that this required 2 5090s. Your 4090 is not going to cut it.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 days ago:
That’s a really good point. I’m not even sure what the game is, I had assumed it was something old based on the before image, which would be a sensical use case for this imo.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 days ago:
Reading through the comments, this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but while I don’t love it, it does look more “realistic” to me, even if it should look more like the source material.

It’s just my personal server for my own videos, which is nearing 1000 at this point. I’m also still in the process of uploading/transcoding everything so it’s a bit wonky still :D

As someone whose instance is already on your list, I greatly support this! Everyone should definitely use this list, and that’s an unbiased opinion.
- Comment on Epic Games needs Fortnite players to "help pay the bills" as the multi-billion-dollar company raises V-Bucks prices while making Battle Passes and Crew way worse in value 1 week ago:
It is kinda nuts that Epic isn’t as good as Steam still. More competition is more gooder, but Epic isn’t really competing. Of course, I’d also rather the competition not be such a terrible company. I’d love to see more from GOG, I do remember reading that GOG might be coming to Linux natively, which would be awesome.

When my partner tried it, it simply didn’t support her multiple monitors. Kubuntu just worked.

I haven’t watched an ad on YouTube in years.

Yeah, tbf Linus hasn’t had a great experience with any Linux distro…
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 1 week ago:
Are you and I watching the same YouTube? People are making really cool stuff, as they always have and always will, and that stuff happens to be in YouTube right now.
- Comment on System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checks 1 week ago:
Sure doesn’t seem like it, from my personal experience, as well as Linus of Linus Tech Tips’ experiences. Doesn’t mean we can’t root for the company when they throw their weight behind a good cause.

It really is hard to fathom, but I think it has a high likely hood of happening some day. I also think it’s why YouTube hasn’t been enshittified more than it has been, they know that it’s a possibility.

That’s incredibly fair

I agree in general, but when it comes to YouTube and the creator economy I do partially disagree.
You aren’t locked into anything, you can just go somewhere else. It isn’t like Netflix and the other million subscription services where they hold all of the power, that’s the beauty of independant online video creation; the creators have the power, not YouTube. If YT becomes enshittified enough, creators will leave to somewhere else. As it is, I currently watch some videos on PeerTube, some on YouTube, some on Nebula, some on other platforms. People do struggle with using multiple websites across the internet, preferring to stick to a core few websites, but for their favorite creators I believe they’d branch out.
- Comment on Are achievements still relevant in 2026—especially when mods disable them? 1 week ago:
They can be helpful when you enjoy playing a game but run out of stuff to do. I hunt for them in Mini Motorways, Forza Horizon, and a few other games. Most games I ignore them completely though.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 1 week ago:
Or to come to terms with needing to pay for the services you use. YouTube has a paid option that supports the platform and creators much more.
Of course, I also upload my videos to PeerTube. Seems like the best alternative I’ve seen thus far.

I also love when I buy something off of Etsy believe it to be hand made, and it ends up being a dropshipped piece of garbage.
- Comment on Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant 1 week ago:
To be fair, I use LLMs quite a bit in my home lab setup. For one, it’s a home lab, not exactly . Secondly, I obviously also don’t run commands without knowing what they’re doing, with a source that isn’t an LLM.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 weeks ago:
Rear tire of a FWD vehicle both times and a small leak while driving on dead straight roads. I was surprised it took me so long to notice as well, but I guess when you’re driving straight and it’s the rear of a FWD vehicle, it’s difficult to notice.

Gotta keep throwing shit at the wall.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 weeks ago:
As someone who has gotten a flat and not noticed until the tire was destroyed multiple times, I love TPMS systems. They save me money in the long run as the tire can be patched instead of replaced.

Can’t you get data on some tablets? Sounds like that’s what they need!
- Comment on Simple inexpensive cloud backup? 2 weeks ago:
How the fuck does that business model work? 10TB is cheaper than Backblaze B2 in 20 months.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 2 weeks ago:
That’s an incredibly good point. Bad actors are the worst. Some ideas:
- Maybe you’d need to contribute your storage capacity +10% (or more), to account for your and other’s downtime during disasters.
- A time limit after disasters would be necessary. It’s difficult to think of a proper time limit though, as even a month might not be enough time if your entire house burns down.
- Maybe a payment system could be set up to where, if your server doesn’t ping for a week, your credit card is automatically charged (after pinging you with many emails). Sure, that’d suck, but it’d be better than loosing your data, and cheaper overall than paying for cloud backups. I’m not sure where that money would go. Maybe distributed to those who didn’t experience a disaster, or maybe to the software project, though that would mean people are profiting from a disaster. Maybe it could go to a charity of your choice or something.
Definitely a difficult problem to solve.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 2 weeks ago:
That NAS software company Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) funded has a feature for this planned I think.
An open source standalone implementation would be dope as hell. Sure, it’d mean you’d need to double your NAS capacity (as you’d have to provide enough storage as you use), but that’s way easier than building a second NAS and storing/maintaining it somewhere else or constantly paying for and managing a cloud backup.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, people have done workarounds and stuff to get their entire NAS backed up but those seemed sketchy and bad when I looked into it.
