- Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost 3 days ago:
The IoT edition of Windows 11 runs in 4GB ram and performs ok. I don’t recommend more ram, I recommend either Linux or LTSC IoT.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 1 week ago:
Some things have survived, like CUPS…but yeah, their track record isn’t great.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 2 weeks ago:
I’m more concerned about ‘AI’ telling people incorrect information - and that information being further indexed and presented as fact elsewhere.
It’s a compounding problem
- Comment on Had to look this up 2 weeks ago:
What exactly in the above sentence would have suggested to the average person that they should Google search the troubles?
Or are you saying any time I see a nonsensical sentence I should just stop what I’m doing and google search the whole thing? - Comment on Had to look this up 2 weeks ago:
…wut
- Comment on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels 2 weeks ago:
I just asked 2 IT guys “hey, do you know what punycode is?” And the answer I received was “I’ve heard of it but don’t know what it is.”
Thank you for informing me, but I’m far from alone in not recognizing it or having knowledge of what punycode is. - Comment on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels 2 weeks ago:
Looks like a totally legit domain. Much trusting.
- Comment on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels 2 weeks ago:
I run audiobookshelf through it and it works flawlessly.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 3 weeks ago:
Funny how we’ve forgotten already the rage and backlash from users when it was revealed you could never completely disable telemetry in windows 10.
Now the general attitude is ‘well, it’s not as bad as 11.’
For the better part of a decade I used windows only for gaming, and now I’ve dropped it for that too.
I’m not sure why some people still refuse to consider using an alternative to windows these days. - Comment on green salad fingers 4 weeks ago:
I think it might be a shadow

On a scale of George Costanza to Tim Cook, how hay is that?
- Comment on What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends? 4 weeks ago:
I’m on their free tier. If you don’t have a domain you need to get one, but CloudFlare does offer domain registration basically at-cost.
Because I’m on free, I can’t break down my analytics like a paid account can. i can say though that for the past 30 days my account has generated 886k requests and 47.56GB of bandwidth. I can’t tell you how much of that is nextcloud and how much is other stuff, like audiobookshelf, but hopefully this helps answer you. - Comment on What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends? 5 weeks ago:
100% this. I have one running in a lxc, and I expose it to the world through a CloudFlare tunnel so I needn’t worry about dyndns or people probing my public IP.
- Comment on How to start off small with the intent to expand 1 month ago:
For basic hosting of stuff+storage management, TrueNAS has a highly polished product that lets you install docker containers with ease.
They have a curated collection that includes every piece of software you mentioned, plus the ability to install dockerhub images as ‘custom’ images.
Originally I started with a single Pentium 4 with 4x1.5TB disks, and it’s grown over time. Now at home I have 2 TrueNAS machines giving me 80TB of storage, and 3 HP elitedesk Minis running proxmox for general VMs.
I also have a managed switch, which lets me pipe the raw Internet into it, and deliver it to the proxmox hosts so I can run a virtual router with high-availability.OpenZFS, which TrueNAS uses as its primary storage filesystem, has recently gained the ability to increase existing disk arrays by adding additional disks (as opposed to replacing all disks with larger ones) and this makes it even more flexible for future growth.
I will say though, that if the machine is dated and you load up ‘all the things’ in it, you might not be impressed by performance, so be sure to manage your expectations.
I also suggest that you consider making yourself a roadmap, so that you can plan out what hardware you’ll need to implement the ‘next big thing’
Also - the steamlink you mentioned - I’m not sure what you’re chasing there exactly, but if your steam rig is already in your home, the only thing you can do to improve latency is provide Ethernet to both the streaming sender and receiver.
Good luck!
- Comment on ISP tricked customers about fiber optics being used in their internet service, German court rules — 'full fiber' customers found to have 'last mile' copper connections 1 month ago:
When the ‘last mile’ is copper, the ISPs almost always use xDSL for the data delivery.
The extra equipment increases latency, decreases reliability, and often precludes high upload speeds.
I’m on true full fibre, and I get 500/500mbps, with the option of going to 2.5Gbps. A friend of mine on the same ISP who is limited to ‘fibre to the neighborhood’ maxes out at 300mbps down, 90 up. - Comment on wax on 1 month ago:

- Comment on Enthusiasts bond twelve 56K modems together to set dial-up broadband records — a dozen screeching boxes achieve record 668 kbps download speeds 2 months ago:
Was your USR a courier or sportster? In my experience the couriers had better success connecting and operating at 48000+bps

It’s not FOSS, but you can use Plex for it. The PlexAmp app is very good.

Fair enough, I should have been thinking bigger.
- Comment on Firefly, the shinest damn show in the 'Verse 2 months ago:
To me, Dollhouse always had a bit of a predatory vibe about it. It almost felt like a “hey, want to know what it feels like to watch a snuff film” vibe…and I don’t mean videos of people simply dying.
The other big 3, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, all felt pretty good to me. Progressive for the time.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 2 months ago:
The expansion is supposed to be happening everywhere at the same time, not just at the edges.
For example, tomorrow there should be more space between the Sol and Alpha Centauri systems than there was yesterday.
Our present understanding suggests that ‘normal’ universal expansion should not (in and of itself) result in anything moving towards us. - Comment on Firefox Nightly Adds CoPilot AI Chatbot + New Tab Widgets 2 months ago:

We kind of do have metric inches, insofar as machinists work in 'thou’s (thousands of an inch) But that’s kind of specialist

And isn’t 1kg of water 1L? And 1L is 1000 cubic cm? So a 10x10x10 cube?
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 2 months ago:
Has been for a very long time. I quit watching his video after I saw him post a thing that was going on and on about the superiority of the product in his left hand over the right, and how much faster it was and blah blah blah.
Both products were bandwidth limited by the PCI bus and there was no advantage to the expensive one he was hawking. - Comment on Say hello to Bary 2 months ago:

The barycenter is different for each planet-sun (or any two object) pairing.
The earth and moon have a barycenter which is beneath the surface of earth. Likewise, the barycenter of the sun-earth pair is below the surface of the sun
