YouTube has a great algorithm, in that it mostly seems to show you stuff you actually want to watch, and let’s you say you don’t like stuff.
You can train it with a little effort to show you what you want.
You just can’t make the shorts go away, even with premium!

I thought that jams were so sugary it was probably fine?
- Comment on Guidance for Noob? (Synching vs Nextcloud, Immich, Tailscale) 2 weeks ago:
That pretty much says: safe when stable. (Which it is now) Makes some sense.
Mine is public, so I hope it’s safe (ish)
- Comment on Guidance for Noob? (Synching vs Nextcloud, Immich, Tailscale) 2 weeks ago:
On the public Immich bit, they have docs on how to setup a reverse proxy correctly. No security warnings.
That sounds like a thumbs up to me?

Even splatted on the back of it?
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 2 weeks ago:
The government knows who you are. They know your age, your address and know you exist (probably).
You go to a site that requires ages verification. You say:please verify me with the government portal. You go to that portal to get a temporary id code to give to the site. The website says to the gov portal give me the name and age of the user with this temp ID. You approve that access. Portal sends age (or an issue over 16/18/21 etc flag) to the site.
Gov portal doesn’t need to know who the site is You don’t provide a unique ID to the website, just a temporary one. Site only gets the data you approve.
The process can do with some streamlining, busy should work in practice?

Somewhere, that Dev who was told that having clustered databases in nonprod was two expensive and not needed is now updating the deploy scripts
- Comment on If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it? 4 weeks ago:
And we recently discovered a clump of dark matter big enough to form a gravitational lens - we could actually see it curving light.
This helps show that dark matter isn’t evenly distributed, it’s not that we just need to add a multiplier to some equation; it’s something that ‘exists’.
- Comment on YSK How to cook a perfect (hard) boiled egg 4 weeks ago:
My problem is the lack of control. They tend to be digital devices, not analog, so I always find myself wanting a heat level between settings…
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 4 weeks ago:
You should be able to disable them on a game by game basis if needed. Annoying thiugh
- Comment on Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games? 5 weeks ago:
Lots of game recommendations here, but for hardware, look for a cheap MMO mouse. All the buttons you could ask for, on a single hand. Could unlock more games.
- Comment on Does anyone have experience with Mumble? 5 weeks ago:
I stand corrected then! TIL
- Comment on Does anyone have experience with Mumble? 5 weeks ago:
It’s a voice chat server. That’s all it does. You can’t post images, GIFs etc.
Fine for if you just need voice, but good luck getting people away from discord.
(Used it for WoW before discord)
- Comment on People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all. 1 month ago:
I think north America only switched this last weekend?
Had a non standard difference last week.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams can record office presence from December 1 month ago:
They exist, but people don’t leave them once there, so new jobs don’t come up as often.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams can record office presence from December 1 month ago:
I mean, it’s a useful feature… But only if you have a good company culture.
- Comment on The aws outage is so funny, I can see which companies are amazon scums. 1 month ago:
The company I work for is an Azure shop. However, our provider for customer OTP tokens uses AWS… So still in trouble.
- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 1 month ago:
It just needed the AMD compatibility plugin, lots of time wasted until someone pointed that out though.
- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 1 month ago:
Good point. I got 1 year of ultimate, will the plan to upgrade to perpetual if it was good (it is!)
- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 1 month ago:
Has a nice UI, let’s me mix and match disks, let’s me host docker containers plus a VM with gpu pass through.
All basically out of the box. (Ok - Pass through was a bastard) All for a one off price.
I don’t know if there are other options that let me do all of that, unraid has always been the one mentioned.

Didn’t Linus say that he is a tiny investor, they only let him in for the press. (Unless he has invested more?)
- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 2 months ago:
Sounds like a good ‘nudge’ law - David Cameron would be proud
- Comment on Intel in early talks to add AMD as foundry customer 2 months ago:
It’s the fabs that the us gov cares about though. You could end up with ex intel fabs producing AMD chips, with intel bankrupt.
- Comment on United States of Autism 2 months ago:
I think that’s the point
- Comment on Spotify is finally taking steps to address its AI slop and clone problem 2 months ago:
That requires you to buy all your music though, for those (like me) that own basically nothing, it’s crazy to change.
They need to force the free streaming of owned tracks or something. Qobuz allows this I think, but only if you buy through them.
