If an employer wants to see your IQ, you probably do not want to work there regardless.

- Comment on Good mail server for selfhosting 2 weeks ago:
In that case I can really highly recommend it. Nixos on the server is fantastic anyways, and the only hurdle to recommending simple-nixos-mailserver is that most people are not familiar with nix… 😄
- Comment on Good mail server for selfhosting 2 weeks ago:
It’s a bit unconventional maybe, but I vote
simple-nixos-mailserver- IF you are curious / willing to learn nix. It’s essentially just sanely configured dovecot, postfix, rspamd.My config for those three combined is about 15 lines, and I have never had an issue with them. Also on another 5-10 lines for Roundcube as a webmail client.
Since it’s Nix, everything is declarative, so should SOMETHING happen to the server, you can be up and running again super quickly, with the exact same setup.
- Comment on How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services? 3 weeks ago:
Fail2ban allows you set different actions for different infringements, as well as multiple ones. So in addition to being put in a “local” jail, the offending IP also gets added to the cloudflare rules (? Is that what its called?) via their API. It’s a premade action called “cloudflare-token-multi”
- Comment on How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services? 3 weeks ago:
We expose about a dozen services to the open web. Haven’t bothered with something like Authentik yet, just strong passwords.
We use a solid OPNSense Firewall config with rather fine-grained permissions to allow/forbid traffic to the respective VMs, between the VMs, between VMs and the NAS, and so on.
We also have a wireguard tunnel to home for all the services that don’t need to be available on the internet publicly. That one also allows access to the management interface of the firewall.
In OPNSense, you get quite good logging capabilities, should you suspect someone is trying to gain access, you’ll be able to read it from there.
I am also considering setting up Prometheus and Grafana for all our services, which could point out some anomalies, though that would not be the main usecase.
Lastly, I also have a server at a hoster for some stuff that is not practical to host at home. The hoster provided a very rudimentary firewall, so I’m using that to only open necessary ports, and then Fail2Ban to insta-ban IPs for a week on the first offense. Have also set it up so they get banned on Cloudflare’s side, so before another malicious request ever reaches me.
Have not had any issues, ever.

FWIW, Lidarr works the worst out of the arr stack for me too. I don’t know if there’s just not enough well indexed material in my sources or what, but yeah, not great.
If your entire experience with the arr stack has been Lidarr so far, give it another shot! Sonarr and Radarr work absolutely perfectly. It’s just such a nice feeling to open Jellyfin (or I guess Plex) on the TV and go “oh nice new episode is out!”
- Comment on In your opinion, what is the best English localization of an anime name? 1 month ago:
Yeah “Delicious in Dungeon” makes no sense in the same way “Attack on Titan” makes little sense. HOWEVER.
That narrator going “Mmmmh, Delicious in Dungeon! Ooooohh, delicious in dungeon!” at least once per episode is just absolute perfection and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
- Comment on What do you consider the saddest anime? 1 month ago:
Lots of good contenders in this thread. I’ll just add
Made in Abyss
for the scene where...
Nanachi tries to gather the strength to end Mitty’s suffering
I have never cried so hard during any other piece of media, ever. My GF had to hold and comfort me because I just couldn’t stop sobbing. That scene just… struck a nerve, I guess.

Not completely, but yes. But in pan with some oil and fry them, as you’d do with the Gunciale
- Comment on Zero to Hero 3 months ago:
I’ve recently been enjoying this recipe: essen-und-trinken.de/…/57421-rzpt-wirsing-pie
And my go-to is to make Carbonara, but replace the Lancaster/Guanciale with 2-3 of the outer, leathery savoy leaves cut into black width strips (vegetarian carbonara, basically).
- Comment on Zero to Hero 3 months ago:
Had both. So many people here have recommended different Brussels sprout recioes that I want comment on this. But steamed or boiled broccoli just sucks compared to seared or roasted.
- Comment on Zero to Hero 3 months ago:
Deal
- Comment on Zero to Hero 3 months ago:
Salad + garlic bread. Final offer.
- Comment on Zero to Hero 3 months ago:
So why not just do bread?
- Comment on Zero to Hero 3 months ago:
I’ll be honest, those look ok. Might try them and maybe upgrade to 0.75/5.
- Comment on Zero to Hero 3 months ago:
A recent survey (n=1) has come to the following conclusions regarding goodness of members of the Brassica family:
- broccoli: 5/5. Godly. Fry in pan on very high heat, severly searing the outside, but keeping the inside crisp.
- savoy: 4.5/5. Very versatile. Easy to grow yourself. Smells amazing.
- kale: 4.5/5. Must have in winter.
- green cabbage: 4.5/5. Cheers from Sauerkraut country!
- turnip: 3/5. Alright. Sometimes nice to have. Great raw with dip.
- cauliflower: 2/5. Tastes like nothing. Only this high up because my
control groupgirlfriend loves it. - Brussel sprouts: 0.5/5. Technically edible.
- Broccoli, cooked: warcrime.

Fuck Amazon, fuck Alexa.
But that wall clock is glorious. It’s a decently look clock, but seeing how much time you have left on multiple timers with a single glance is so incredibly useful. Especially when you’re cooking.
I’m currently in the process of migrating away from the shit Alexa ecosystem, but no matter what I end up with, I’ll have to find an alternative for this clock

- Comment on Using AI generated code will make you a bad programmer. 4 months ago:
For me personally, there is only two applications of LLMs in programming:
- doing tasks I kinda know how to do, but don’t want to properly learn (recent example: generate pgf plots from csv data in matplotlib. 90% boilerplate, I last had to do it 3 years ago and vaguely remember some pitfalls so can steer the LLM in that direction. Will probably never again have to do this, so not worth the extra couple hours to properly learn
- things I would ordinarily write a script for, but aren’t worth automating because they won’t come up in the future again (example: convert this Lua table to a Nix set)
Essentially, one-off things that you know how to check for correctness.
