- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:
Not disproving, just making context on how confusing it can be if there isn’t proper rules to follow :/
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:
Not only without context… From the perspective of people not aware of.
Someone who knows about what ice is (solid water) this is very confusing if they don’t know about the I.C.E?
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:
Yeah but modem is different. It’s a contraction of 2 words (modulation/demodulation) that’s not the same as an acronym.
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:
Okay I get that ! But in the case of the ICE both are actually acceptable.
I.C.E sounds good so those ICE. I guess in this context as some else said, it’s because they are “ice cold” (in this context).
Would it be acceptable in a conversation to talk about the I.C.E ?

On the W.W.W or Www?
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:
Yeaah ice (water in solid state) does indeed is a word ! But the I.C.E isn’t !
I do get that we are very lazy, and it does sound better… but without context it seems like people are protesting against ice (solid water) which seems silly.
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:
Maybe this is some sarcasme… But why then follow rules if we can just say things how we prefer? GIF or JIF?
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:
Funny enough… I do say S.Q.L or U.R.L 😅
- Comment on Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word? 1 week ago:
ICE=Immigration and Customs Enforcement
FBI=Federal Bureau of Investigation
USB=Universal Serial Bus
None of those are words :/ but a contraction of 3 words.

- Comment on Looking for PDF collaboration 4 weeks ago:
What do youngstar use nowadays if it isn’t PDF? EPUB?
I always wondered, why someone would prefere to read an EPUP instead of a PDF ! Specially Student books, cook books or any other book with images or representations.
Yeah EPUB’s are good for long text stories without any image, but everything else should be in pdf.

This one looks nice too :) ! The thing I like with WUD is the direct link to the new release/changelog documentation.

As an alternative what’s up docker is quite good but a bit more complex to setup :).
- Comment on Where can I learn about networking? 1 month ago:
Yeaaah was thinking the same… He got me into docker containers and I’m glad I did ! Nice and easy introduction :) but his last 10 or so videos are all about AI and stuff… ://
- Comment on What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment? 1 month ago:
But why not on a Pi, in a docker container? My pi 3bi+ begins to show some age but has been rock solid for 3 years now… I even forget it’s on sometimes ! (Except when nothing gets resolved 😅🤷♂️)

50 AI generated website that give a similar bulletpoint presentation of what search item X is according to the AI that generated the site.
Yeah that’s what I meant by “random” shit ! 😁
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Ohoho? That’s interesting. I don’t have the horse power to selfhost an AI, but that’s good to know !
Thanks for the pointer !!!
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Yeah you’re right ! However, ages ago, I still remember how you could go to page 20+ and still find some really interesting things !
Here, past page 2 it’s just some random shit…

- Comment on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days 2 months ago:
3 letter organisms: NSA - CIA. People tend to think that as conspiracy theory… Even though we have so many real life examples about how the US and the 3 letters agencies have their hands all over the web and privacy and encryption is just a wet dream !

I used to self-host searxng for a while, but somehow the search results where always off and mixed with to much non-relevant results :/.
It’s not about searxng itself… Rather how the most relevant info gets drown into AI slope and non-sense bullshit. The best blogposts/info are transmitted from people to people…
I’m kinda sad to admit that stupid AI “solved” this issue and had better results :/

For those who want a minimal no bullshit alternative: lychee is your best bet !
- Comment on !@$& Homelab Networking 2 months ago:
Yeah, same here ! Can’t believe how useful it is to have a git repo to keep track of changes, even as a non coder/sysadmin.
Simple pull/push commands and I’m now able to keep track of my bash scripts and specific .dot/config files.
To bad there isn’t a way to keep side notes a la Obsidian. Comments in the code are okay, but sometimes I wan’t to breakup the whole command with some notes to get a better understanding !
- Comment on Tempus v4.2.4 android subsonic client release 2 months ago:
Why is the Tempus logo green on the phone’s homescreen but red in the application itself? Is this to differentiate the “degoogled version”?
Btw, thanks for keeping Tempo alive !

Oh yeah I was aware that it won’t change from 1080 to 720 :p.
But I thought the movie would just be corrupted an unplayable not lose quality bits !
- Comment on 2 months ago:
start to lose quality
Wait… That’s a thing? You can lose video quality off a video file on a HD over time?

Oh nice tip, thank you ! It won’t be that much of a difference I guess, but why would you let a wifi module on if it’s never used !
