- Comment on What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation? 6 days ago:
Honestly, I would go with a managed Nextcloud solution like Hetzner Storage Share or another reputable provider. No hassle of updating and securing the server, no data stored at Google or Microsoft, and easy to administrate by people who aren’t expert system administrators in case you are no longer available.
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 1 week ago:
I don’t need to be a three star Michelin chef to realize that the plate of shit I have just been served is in fact a plate of shit. Similarly, I also don’t need to be a game developer to see that the buggy mess of a game gearbox just released is not worth my time.
- Comment on Microsoft waives fees for Windows devs publishing to Microsoft Store 1 week ago:
There is an official linux like package manager for windows called winget but its targeted at system administrators and not at the typical enduser.
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 2 weeks ago:
As for the listenbrainz/last.fm that is kind of a solution, but it takes a very long time to train up your profile to actually be useful.
This isn’t a huge issue, listenbrainz supports importing your spotify history. - Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 2 weeks ago:
There no need to choose on over the other. I host all my podman containers in a Proxmox VM.
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 2 weeks ago:
You can connect navidrome and many other music players to listenbrainz.org. Like Spotify it creates an end of the year report and it also does recommendations like the weekly spotify playlist.
- Comment on Deploying Nextcloud on AWS ECS with Pulumi 1 month ago:
Pretty cool as a learning exercise. As a follow up scenario maybe try moving this infrastructure to another cloud provider because AWS deleted your account without warning or try a multi-cloud deployment.
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 1 month ago:
Regarding Lets Encrypt you don’t your server doesn’t need to be accessible from the internet if you use the DNS-01 challenge. Caddy with the caddy-dns plugin for your provider can do that automatically for you.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 1 month ago:
Either use the
sftpcommand it also supports the-Joption or use SSH tunneling. For example here I bind the port 4533 to my local port 8080.$ ssh -L 8080:vpn-homelab-ip:4533 user@vps-ip (user@vps) $
I can now open a new shell and run:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/ <a href="/app/">Found</a>.
You could also do it this way:
$ ssh -L 8080:localhost:4533 user@vpn-homelab-ip -J leonhardt@vps-ip (user@homelab) $
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 1 month ago:
According to the Pangolin docs it supports raw TCP and UDP connections.
For SSH you can also try to use the VPS as a jump host like this:
$ ssh user@vpn-homelab-ip -J user@vps-ip - Comment on Fear of 'being cringe' blamed for lack of dancing on nightclub dance floors 2 months ago:
You can keep your smartphone but they have you put stickers over the cameras before you are let in. If you remove them you might have a one-on-one session with Sven.

Maybe its time more clubs adopt the strict no-cameras policy of Berghain in Berlin.

- Comment on Th EU iniative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!! 2 months ago:
Yes, I think calling it fraud is a fair conclusion but what do you mean with “they knew it was closing”? This decision is completely in the hands of Ubisoft. Something doesn’t stop being fraud just because someone only decides to defraud you 2 months after they sold you something.
- Comment on Th EU iniative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!! 2 months ago:
Sony actually issued full refunds to everyone who bought Concord.
- Comment on Th EU iniative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!! 2 months ago:
‘The Crew’ by Ubisoft was sold for several months before they decided to shut it down. This would have at least forced them to communicate that before taking peoples money. I am also pretty sure that publishers don’t want to put this information on the package because it could seriously hurt sales. So the effect might be that publishers build the game in a way that enables self-hosting.
- Comment on Th EU iniative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!! 2 months ago:
I think the commission will take action in some form. The worst case scenario in my mind is that they will only require clear labelling. Similar to what they did with smart phones recently. While this not exactly what I am hoping for, having “This game will at least be playable until XXXX” on the package or store page would still be a massive improvement over the status quo.

Maybe they read something about the titanium dioxide contained in some sunscreen products. There is some research indicating that its not as safe as we thought and that it might be carcinogenic.

Looking though the related patents, fart filters certainly seem to be a hot topic among inventors.
Here is a patent for a literal butt-plug fart filter.
This one is from last year. - Comment on Deathloop is free to claim on Epic Games 3 months ago:
I never spent a single cent on their store and probably never will, but since Epic is so keen on burning money I am happy to help them with that.

- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 4 months ago:
New ones probably use something newer. The 20 year old elevator in a hospital will only be upgraded if something breaks.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 4 months ago:
We are far away from the release of the Raspberry Pi if that screen is running an early version of Windows CE. Putting a PC in the elevator to drive the screen was probably the most cost effective solution.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 4 months ago:
Yes? That is not that unusual and it is mentioned in the third sentence of the article.
I rode up to the 14th floor, my eyes were drawn to a screen built into the side of the lift.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 4 months ago:
It’s probably only the screen component that is running an old version of embedded windows.

We use OpenProject at my job and its pretty good. You can use the Nextcloud integration as a document repository.
