Correct, you summarized that well.

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) 1 day 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…

That is awesome!

Same with GrapheneOS.
- Comment on FTTH upgrade - getting my LAN multi gig ready 2 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 2 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 2 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) 2 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) 2 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 2 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 2 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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
.wiki.gitto the repo URL. That way you can clone the wiki just like any other Git repo. - Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners 1 month ago:

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.
- Comment on Intel Becomes Potential Takeover Target Of Broadcom, TSMC: Reports 2 months ago:
Ugh, Broadcom buying Intel would be terrible.
- Comment on Homelab upgrade - "Modern" alternatives to NFS, SSHFS? 2 months ago:
Sure, if you have exactly one client that can access the server and you can ensure physical security of the actual network, I suppose it is fine. Still, those are some severe limitations and show how limited the ancient NFS protocol is, even in version 4.
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 2 months ago:
You need sampling at twice the frequency as a minimum to extract a time domain signal into the frequency domain. It says nothing about “perfect” especially when you’re listening in the time domain.
Yes it does. You can use a higher frequency, but that does not change anything except increase the maxiumum frequency possible. Even with perfect ears and the best equipment, there is no audible (and mathematical) difference to be had.
Everyone who claims otherwise should watch Monty’s explainer videos. I know they are quite old at this point, but everything he explains is still perfectly valid. If that does not convince you, nothing will.
- Comment on Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3? 2 months ago:
It turns out that dynamic range is limited by the audio sampling rate and the human ear can easily detect a far greater range CD audio supports.
Dynamic range isn’t limited by the sampling rate. It is limited by the resolution, which is 16 bits for the audio CD. With that resolution you get a dynamic range of 96 dB when not using any dithering and even more than that when using dithering. Even with “only” 96 dB that dynamic range is so vast, that there is no practical use of a higher resolution when it comes to playback. I know that the human ear is supposed to be able to handle 130 dB or even more of dynamic range. The thing is, you can only experience such a dynamic range once, afterwards you are deaf. So not much point in such a dynamic range there.
There are good reasons to use a higher resolution when recording and mixing audio, but for playback and storage of the finished audio 16 bits of resolution is just fine.
- Comment on Homelab upgrade - "Modern" alternatives to NFS, SSHFS? 2 months ago:
NFS is bulletproof.
For it to be bulletproof, it would help if it came with security built in. Kerberos is a complex mess.
- Comment on Homelab upgrade - "Modern" alternatives to NFS, SSHFS? 2 months ago:
If someone compromises the host system you are in trouble.
Not only the host. You have to trust every client to behave, as @forbiddenlake already mentioned, NFS relies on IDs that clients can easily fake to pretend they are someone else. Without rolling out all the Kerberos stuff, there really is no security when it comes to NFS.
- Comment on What do people use for a shelf-stable backup 2 months ago:
archival strength USB NVME drive,
Does such a thing exist? Ordinary flash storage is pretty ad at keeping its content when powered off for a long time, due to how flash memory works. I’d be curious about such drives.
