Yeah sure but defending against nation state intelligence agencies is a thread model few people have. It’s also not really realistic unless you go to paranoia level mitigations.

- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 3 weeks ago:
I have a lot of projects, many OSS and some private. I self host forgejo for my private stuff and also have a lot of my oss there.
Still, I currently use GitHub as my main git service, since it’s the most polished code forge and their ci servers are free and fast as fuck. The only other thing keeping me there is the network effect in the sense that I like my projects to be more discoverable, not that anyone gives a shit about my code besides a few friends and randos.
If they get annoying, it’s trivial to move. I got the infrastructure set up, and forgejo federation is coming.

- Comment on Is Mexican food uniquely good with alcohol or have I just been conditioned? 5 weeks ago:
In Bad Kreuznach in RLP? I know that city, it’s pretty empty most of the time. Just to be clear, Döner is a specific category of food, and you will likely find a lot of Dönerläden in Germany.
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 5 weeks ago:
I mean… Can’t happen if you keep your stuff encrypted like with KeePassXC. Even if someone gets my password database, it’s useless for them since they don’t know how to decrypt it. That’s why I don’t use some online service, though using one of the online services is certainly better than reusing a weak remembered password.
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 5 weeks ago:
This is just a hack. If you use encryption to store passwords, that becomes just a nuisance.

- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 1 month ago:
And why do you think this is the case? Could it possibly be because the infrastructure is completely designed for cars, and using anything else is just not safe so you’d have to be a madman to go with these options?
Imran sure, I get rural, cars are good for rural areas, but not for towns etc.
- Comment on Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12 2 months ago:
What? No, the framework 12 is the thing the had before the 13 one. Nowadays, they call that model always 13 it seems. I think you’re confusing something, I’ve got mine since a few years now.
- Comment on Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12 2 months ago:
Got a Framework 12 and have all sorts of tiny annoying but somewhat manageable problems with it.
It used to overheat and then throttle to 400 Mhz every few seconds on high load. Overheating meaning 100°C. After a long time being annoyed and thinking “did I do something wrong” I reached out to support, and eventually got a new motherboard. It’s better since then, but it still gets hot quickly. Also, if I just idle, like maybe a few Browser tabs and that’s it, it will get somewhat warm ~65°C and I just don’t get it.
For some reason, it sometimes does not find my hard drive on boot. Works the second or third attempt, and is no software problem.
The light detection thing has to be disabled in software to be able to use the brightness buttons.
At the start, my wifi sucked really bad, just on this device.
Having some more ports than just the audio jack and the extension cards would be neat too.
Also, it was really expensive.
So yeah, I sadly wouldn’t buy it again, I think. The concept is really neat, but I’ve had too many annoying little problems. I still do use it as my main computer, and it works reasonably well, is light and well transportable, works with my docking station easily, etc, but those issues are annoying.

Problem is you need a way to decrypt that shit with memory loss and a burned down house.
- Comment on Is there any good decentralized cloud storage for personal backups as a self-hoster? 2 months ago:
I recently started a “backup ring” with my buddies who have their own servers too. It’s just folders synced over sync thing, each has their own folder, and we put stuff there that we want to access even in case everything I own burns out. Works pretty well so far.
- Comment on Anthropic's Claude 4 could "blackmail" you in extreme situations 2 months ago:
That’s just the hardware. The human brain also just has tons of neurons in the end working with analogue values, which can in theory be done with floating point numbers on computer hardware.
I’m not arguing for LLM sentience, those things are still dumb and have no interior mutability leading to us projecting consciousness. Just that our neurons are fundamentally not so complicated that a computer couldn’t be used to do the same concept (neural networks are already quite a thing after all)

Their CI is FAST and free. And nobody can contribute to my random but neat projects if they neither know they exist not have the ability to interact with my forgejo instance.

Audiobookshelf is insanely good. It’s almost a perfect application. Seemingly it does ebooks too, but I haven’t used that yet.
