- Comment on What if Q-space/the Q-ocean is real? (More in post body) 1 day 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 days 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?

What about the trope of lighting up after sex?

- Comment on Selfhost an LLM 1 week 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. 1 week 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. 1 week 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 The end of tt-rss.org 3 weeks ago:
I really enjoy tt-rss. I self host it so i guess I’ll keep using it until i find a replacement, but this is sad.

This project is licensed under the Open WebUI License, a revised BSD-3-Clause license. You receive all the same rights as the classic BSD-3 license: you can use, modify, and distribute the software, including in proprietary and commercial products, with minimal restrictions. The only additional requirement is to preserve the “Open WebUI” branding, as detailed in the LICENSE file. For full terms, see the LICENSE document.
The license seems to me to say that you can use, modify, redistribute Open-WebUI as you want, but you can’t change the branding unless your instance has <= 50 users (or a couple other conditions are met).
- Comment on If I use Caddy for reverse-proxying into another local machine... is my local connection not HTTPS? 5 weeks 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 Is there a self-hosted project that does base64 url decoding in a privacy respecting fashion? 1 month ago:
IT-Tools is kind of fun: a web page full of common tools, converters, references, cheat sheets, etc.
- Comment on What are the main differences between GPLv2, GPLv3, AGPL, and LGPL? 2 months ago:
Thanks for that explanation, @rikudou@lemmings.world!
- Comment on Google will pay $30 million to settle a lawsuit claiming it violated the privacy of children using YouTube 2 months ago:
Googled earned about $325B in 2024. $30M is about .009% of that. If you earn $50K per year, it would be like you had to pay $4.50 for committing a crime.

- Comment on Google Drive alternative? 3 months ago:
I selfhost Cryptpad, but it sounds like it may be more than you’re looking for.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 4 months ago:
Did…did you start a lemmy community for people to talk about not talking on lemmy…on lemmy?
- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 5 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 5 months ago:
E.g., NAS on my LAN, especially for streaming high res video to devices in my house.
- Comment on self hosted browser sync? 5 months ago:
I use xBrowserSync for bookmark syncing. The code hasnt been touched in a few years but it still works great. Set it and forget it. There’s also an android app - not sure about ios.
But it doesnt do browser tabs - just bookmarks.
- Comment on Recs: Calendar and Contacts? 5 months ago:
I’ve heard numerous recommendations of both sabre and radicale, but ive never used them. I use baikal for both contacts and calendars. It’s simple and it works well.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (9 May 2025) 5 months ago:
I like it. It feels cleaner, simpler, less busy to me.
- Comment on Vaultwarden selfhosting, or bitwarden service? 5 months ago:
The only problem I’ve had with Bitwarden is their recent UI retool which ended up causing a huge ruckus among the user base to the point where they gave an option to switch back.
I think the new UI is pretty terrible. I didn’t know until you mentioned it, irmadlad@lemmy.world, that there was an option to revert. I can’t find it in the settings - how does one revert to the prior UI?
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
I’ve had canon, HP, and brother inkjets - dislike them all (though hate HP as a company worse than the others.). Finally I bought a Xerox color laser printer (and scanner, etc) and really like it. Part of the enshittification is the world of inkjet ink, but part is also the companies.
- Comment on How do you like to transfer large files between friends across the internet? 7 months ago:
I used vaultwarden just the other day for this purpose. I mean, I use vaultwarden daily as a password manager, but it also has secure file transfer.
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 8 months ago:
I’m quite happy with Jerboa on GrapheneOS, and on desktop I prefer to visit Lemmy via Tesseract.
- Comment on Landing page for all my services 8 months ago:
I love homepage for this purpose. Gorgeous, good UX, easy to configure, and lots of widgets/integrations.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 11 months ago:
Thanks for that info, @AtariDump@lemmy.world
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 11 months ago:
I highly recommend OPNsense over pfSense for the UI improvements alone, but there are other reasons to use/support OPNsense over pfSense.
Can you list or summarize some of the other reasons?
