• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Building OpenWatch: an open-source alternative to YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t care if AI was used in its creation. I do care if it’s FOSS/libre.

  And also, it’s a bit weird to me that copying YouTube’s UI is considered good. I havent used YouTube in a long time, but I recall there being some good aspects and some bad. Why not create your own vesion of a UI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Building OpenWatch: an open-source alternative to YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that more options is a good thing, and that activitypub would be a plus. But FYI, I wont be using it because of the license. I use only FOSS whenevr possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way to filter news on lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For more specific filtering, rather than an entire community, on Android i use Voyagers, which allows you to filter out specific keywords. On desktop I self-host Tesseract, which I think has the same functionality.

  Can I?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many containers are you all running?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Server01: 64 Server02: 19 Plus a bunch of sidecar containers solely for configs that aren’t running.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosting with subdomains⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not positive, but I think you left in a reference to real info (twilightparadox.com) instead of “example-fying” it (mydomain.com), in the paragraph just before section 4:

  For example say I have home-assistant running on a Pi with the local address 192.168.0.11, I could create a subdomain named ha that has the value mysub.twilightparadox.com then create the following nginx config

  server{
  	listen 80;
  	server_name ha.mydomain.com;
  	resolver 192.168.0.1;
  	location / {
  		proxy_pass http://192.168.0.11/;
  	}
  }
  

  When nginx sees a request for ha.mydomain.com it passes it to the address 192.168.0.11 port 80.

  I self-host a CA server with [step-ca](github.com/smallstep/certificates], and I also use it to create my mTLS certs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PhotoStructure vs. PhotoPrism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree, but my point was that the source ia available to see and assess, which is important to me and why i am using Immich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PhotoStructure vs. PhotoPrism⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to use photostructure. I like its appearance and feature set (and the developer is a super nice guy), and really like how it leaves my asset files alone but works with sidecars, but i stopped using it because I only use open source software now.

  I currently use Immich* and really like its appearance, features, self-hostability, but dislike how it manages the asset files. Even if i add my assets as an external library, which immich will theoretically not manipulate, the immich apps on iOS and Android will only upload images to a sifferent library that Immich manipulates. I’d have to ignore Immich’s upload feature and roll my own, which is annoying.

  • I realize Futo’s license is not really FOSS. Disapppointing, but at least not peopeietary and secret.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best way to browse and share files between hoarders?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re wanting to share all files, many of the methods already mentioned work well. If you’re wanting to share specific files, CopyParty is a good way to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Awesome-web - Alternative fronted for awesome-selfhosted⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a nice idea, looks nice. I’ll check it out in more depth soon. Thanka for sharing.

  FYI, i don’t see a license on your repo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the name of this 80s song sang by a solo female singer? I only remember her saying "nothing really maaaa-tters" or "nothing truly maaaatt-ers". Has a vibe like I Feel For You by Chaka Kahn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked chatGPT:

  Good question. I couldn’t find any 1980s song by a solo female singer with the exact lyric “nothing really matters” (or “nothing truly matters”) that matches your description. Here are a few thoughts and possibilities, plus what might help you narrow it down — and a guess + next steps.

  ---

  💡 What the Searches Turned Up

  1. “Nothing Really Matters” by Madonna — but that’s from 1999, so too late for your 80s vibe. (Wikipedia)

  2. “Nothing Really Matters” by Gabrielle Aplin — also way more recent (2019). (Wikipedia)

  3. “Nothing Really Matters” by Fiona — this one exists, according to Shazam. (Shazam)

     • But Fiona’s “Nothing Really Matters” seems to be a reggae-style song, not a high-energy 80s disco/funk. (Shazam)

     • Also, Fiona’s own career peaked more in the late ’80s rock/pop space — her album “Beyond the Pale” was in 1986. (Apple Music - Web Player)

  4. I found no credible matches for an 80s dance/disco track where a female singer sings exactly “nothing truly matters” (in that phrasing).

  ---

  ✅ My Guess

  Based on what you remember, it’s possible the lyric is slightly misheard. The Fiona song looks like the closest title match, but the style doesn’t align well with what you described (if it truly is her song).

  ---

  🔍 What to Try Next

  To track it down more precisely, you can:

  • Use a song identifier app (like Shazam or SoundHound) the next time you hear it in a store.

  • Ask the store (if they play a fixed playlist) — they might be able to check their in-store music list.

  • Try humming the melody into a “hum to search” tool (some modern music apps do that).

  • Think about other lyrics or fragments: maybe there’s a line before or after “nothing really matters” that stands out. Even a few more words help a lot.

  ---

  If you like, I can dig into 80s female disco/pop songs with similar-sounding lyrics (bass line, synth, etc.) and send some top candidates. Do you want me to do that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if Q-space/the Q-ocean is real? (More in post body)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …nature of reality is a timeless ocean where every possible bundle of qualia - first person sensory experiences - exists within it? Time doesn’t actually exist, but the illusion of it could…

  Isn’t that an oxymoron? If every possible first-person sensory experience exists, then time exists (we experience time).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does markdown treat linefeeds as spaces?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Supposed to”? That originated back before desktop publishing existed, when typed communication (as in typewriters) were only monospace, and adding 2 spaces between sentences made text easier to read.

  In modern times (as in the past 30 years or so, i think), while adding 2 spaces between sentences might remain as a preference or in a style guide, you haven’t been “supposed to” do it.

  Maybe now that markdown is so commonplace, it’ll make a return?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhost an LLM⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you already know what you nerd to know to host Ollama in a docker container. Ollama is an LLM “engine” - you can interact with LLM models via a CLI or you can integrate them into other services via an API.

  To have a web page chat like ChatGPT or others, I installed OpenWebU. I love it! A friend of mine likes LMStudio, which i think is a desktop app, but I don’t know anything about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using dark mode might be more energy-intensive if the screen is an LCD.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah. Thanks for pointing that out, @Septimaeus@infosec.pub. I was considering an OLED screen to be a modern LCD screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using dark mode might be more energy-intensive if the screen is an LCD.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought that with OLED screens, and a dark mode that supports it, black pixels are actually not backlit, meaning they use less energy. Is that not right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I use Caddy for reverse-proxying into another local machine... is my local connection not HTTPS?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not familiar with Caddy at all - I use Traefik for a reverse proxy, and my knowledge there isn’t huge either. But I think that your reverse proxy terminates TLS (HTTPS) from the world and then forwards traffic to the appropriate service on your local network using HTTP by default - but if your local service can handle TLS, I think you can configure your reverse proxy to forward the traffic to it using TLS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, no I’m not. You’re right. I miscalculated how much data was needed for video streaming. Even multiple simultaneous hi-res streams should stream fine with 1GbE.

  But as an abstracted idea, you might want high throughput within your LAN for some reaosn, even if an ISP doesn’t offer 10Gbps to your house.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  E.g., NAS on my LAN, especially for streaming high res video to devices in my house.
