- Comment on Selfhosting on old MSI laptop 13 hours ago:
If you plan on running the laptop all the time on wall power, make sure to limit the battery charge to 80 % or less, otherwise the battery will die pretty quickly.
- Comment on Unhappy with the recently lost file upload feature in the Nextcloud app for Android? So are we. Let us explain. - Nextcloud 2 days ago:
The worst part is that Nextcloud isn’t even really in competition with Google. Setting up a Nextcloud server isn’t hard, but it’s not a trivial task. Sharing it outside your local network also requires a bit of skill, especially if done securely. That is to say, Nextcloud users probably tend to be more tech-savvy.
That’s only true for those who self-host this. There are lots of companies offering Nextcloud hosting. That’s probably why Google doesn’t like Nextcloud. I’m not saying Google is right. Actually what Google is doing here is quite pathetic.

Yes, using
uuidgenshould work fine. - Comment on Help : Self-Hosting RSS Feed for my blog (pls) 1 week ago:
Thanks for pointing this out. I thought this had to be an actual UUID. Generating a unique string of arbitrary format manually is certainly much easier to do manually without additional tools.
- Comment on Help : Self-Hosting RSS Feed for my blog (pls) 1 week ago:
This is not quite true. As I mentioned in my other comment already, each feed entry needs its own unique UUID. You have to generate such a UUID for every entry.
- Comment on Help : Self-Hosting RSS Feed for my blog (pls) 1 week ago:
How do people subscribe to them?
Subscribing to an RSS feed really is nothing more than telling your RSS client about the URL to that RSS XML file. The RSS client then regularily checks the URL for changes.
If your site is hand-made as you say, you would have to manually create and update the RSS file also. This is quite nuisance, not only because it is XML, but also because every feed entry needs its own unique UUID, which you need to create. Perhaps you could create a script that does it for you. Static site generators are usually able to automatically create an RSS feed for you.

Correct, you summarized that well.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
The easiest way to do it is by running a Kiwix server and hosting a copy of Wikipedia with that.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (25 April 2025) 3 weeks ago:
I’ve subscribed to their RSS feed, but their server is so unreliable, my feed reader complains all the time that it is unreachable. When I manually retry it mostly works, only to fail again later. I’m wondering what’s going on there. I never have this problem with any other feed…

Same with GrapheneOS.
- Comment on FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready 4 weeks ago:
Oops, you are correct of course, 6A is what I meant, plain 6 should work fine also most of the time, but there is pretty much no point going for that, unless you have that deployed already.
- Comment on Self-hostable bookmark app Hoarder has been rebranded to Karakeep after a long trademark dispute 4 weeks ago:
Can anyone explain to me if a headless chrome browser is dangerous the way a regular chrome browser is?
Almost. You want to make sure to keep it as up-to-date as you would a regular Chrome browser. It does almost everything a regular Chrome does, including running arbitrary scripts on websites.
- Comment on FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready 4 weeks ago:
Anyone have experience converting from 1G LAN to 2.5 or even 10?
Going from 1 G to 2.5 G is fairly cheap these days. You can almost certainly use the same cabling, even when you’ve got only Cat.5e cabling. While you can do 10 G over copper, I wouldn’t suggest doing that, since it consumes quite a lot of power compared to both 1 G and 2.5 G.
- Comment on Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US) 5 weeks ago:
Sure, I’m not saying this never happens, but I’d argue this is the exception not the rule. Especially when it comes to DDR5 which is still quite new, so there should not be that many laptops with dead batteries with such memory around yet. It would be a different story with DDR4, not that I would suggest that they use DDR4. And the SSD form factor they used isn’t very common, so it is probably even less likely that people have such SSDs lying around. I still appreciate that they allow me to buy the machine without memory/storage.
- Comment on Framework Laptop 12 is now available for pre-order for €569 and up (but not in the US) 5 weeks ago:
The point of the DIY edition is that you could just reuse some old RAM or SSDs.
In theory, yes. I don’t think it is very likely that people have DDR5 SO-DIMM modules lying around, let alone 2230 SSDs. I don’t understand why they weren’t able to go for the way more common 2280 form factor for the SSD at least.
- Comment on New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know your exact setup, but you should add the IP that Jellyfin sees when the reverse proxy makes a request. That probably comes from the IP of your Traefik docker container.
- Comment on New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for pointing this out! I probably would have missed this, since I didn’t expect such a change for a patch release.
Their documentation mentions:
For jellyfin to know which reverse proxy is trusted, the IP, Hostname or Subnet has to be set in the Known Proxies (under Admin Dashboard -> Networking) setting.
Does this really mean, that the only way to configure this is through the web UI? This is kind of a problem when deploying it, since without the reverse proxy I can’t reach the Jellyfin server. Is there no way of doing this outside the web UI, via a config file or something?
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 1 month ago:
I’m not sure why you think manufactuers of SoCs - which aren’t used by Google directly - provide drivers to Google. They don’t, because there is no point in doing that. This is not how the Android eco-system works or the business of selling those SoCs for that matter. SoC manufactuers sell their SoCs to companies who want to build Android phones (or they build their own like Samsung). With those SoCs they provide a BSP (board support package) that includes all the bits needed to bring up a system running on that partricular SoC. Google has pretty much nothing to do with this, except that Google recommends a certain Linux kernel version (with a bunch of Android-specific patches) for a given Android version, which SoC makers often (but not always) use as the base for their customized kernels.
It is not like Google provides the operating system including all device specific drivers to the device manufacturers. They don’t care about that at all. They provide AOSP (which is open source, so anyone can get that) as well as their proprietary stuff like Google Play etc. That’s pretty much it.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 1 month ago:
You are talking about phones made by Google. I am talking about ALL the phones using Android and how difficult or sometimes impossible it is to use anything but Android.
That’s not what you were saying. You were explicitly talking about Google. Also, implying it is Google’s fault that other manufacturers don’t let you install other operating systems easily is pretty bizarre. If you want to complain about that, at least complain about the right companies. Those are usually the phone manufacturers and/or the SoC manufacturers. The SoC manufacturers often times are particularily problematic, since they often do not publish open source drivers at all or in a very limited fashion.
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 1 month ago:
No, unlock as in: You can install whatever operating system you want. No need for “jailbreaking” on Google phones. They officially support unlocking the bootloader (and re-locking it later as well!). There are many things not to like about Google, but how they handle their phones when it comes to openness is certainly not one of them. Pretty much all other phone vendors are much worse than that (except for maybe a few small ones like Fairphone).
- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 1 month ago:
How about not letting Google have exclusive rights to the drivers for all the phone hardware?
What exactly do you mean by that? Google is one of the few companies that let you easily unlock their phones so you can do whatever you want with them.

It won’t get wikis or issues though.
You can easily mirror Github wikis as well. You just need to add

There is also AMD and they are doing pretty well. I wouldn’t write off x86 just yet.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service 2 months ago:
It is, but Signal and Matrix aren’t really all that similar. Matrix’s privacy is pretty atrocious. It stores tons of meta data about users all over the place. That’s the exact opposite of what Signal does.

Ugh, Broadcom buying Intel would be terrible.
