  You need to get up quick because it will be harder the longer it lasts. Once standing firmly on the ground, lean slightly forwards to shift most of the weight to the front of the foot. It never failed to help me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My friend Charlie is back....⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stand up as fast as possible and put your weight on that leg.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Orion browser hits public beta on Linux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically: “it’s not meant to be taken too serious”

  It’s somewhat old internet slang.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Orion browser hits public beta on Linux⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  built in GTK4/libadwaita

  So basically a Gnome app. *scnr*

  Well—that is certainly a meticulous observation 👍
  

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you! 2FAuth looks very promising. Especially with the Android app! I need to check out the repo when I’m back home, though. It seems to be a one-man show.

  We should make it more clear, that it is not “Mastodon is the thing” but “ActivityPub is the thing, and Mastodon is just one of many implementations”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the currently best way to manage TOTP tokens?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Aegis seems to be just an app. The thing is, that I see an app as second option for accessing the data. I’d like to have a selfhosted service that is accessible independent from a device and – for convenience – has an app, too.

  Yeah. It’s bean a long time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finding a new registrar/name server for .at⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  selfhost.eu offers dynamic DNS which works perfectly fine with my router, using their API access as documented by them. It also works perfectly well with Let’s Encrypt integrated in Nginx Proxy Manager.

  • can handle .at domains
  • is not Cloudflare
  • is registrar and name server
  • is European (Germany)
  • supports Nginx Proxy Manager

  They’re in the market since 2001, I use them since ca. 2010 and never had any issues. Their website looks ancient, almost historic. But it’s functional.

  You can easily remap it to something useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point I wonder if the last few months of systematically destructing the rest of Microsoft’s reputation is a false-flag action by Linux users who infiltrated the company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  AI bro’s “won” again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone has the “ultimate solution” to something, they wouldn’t give it away in the Internet for “just $29.99”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google flags Immich sites as dangerous⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The URLs mentioned in their blog article all have a wrong certificate (different host name).

  I am sure if they fix it Google’s system would reclassify the sites as safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FreeCAD: Pros: free, open source. Cons: workflow as rough as sandpaper, constantly crashes.

  It has a learning curve (like all software), yes. But I cannot confirm the crashes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What external services do you use for your selfhosting setup?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  • Mail with all the bells and whistles (been there, done that – but I just want this to work and not care about details).
  • Dynamic DNS because I just need to tell someone my non-static IP so they can connect that with my domain name.
