- Comment on "The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You" Season 2 New Key Visual 4 days ago:
I watched the first season, partly because some reviewers pointed out that it depicted the multiple relationships of the protagonist more like an actual polyamorous relationship than a typical harem anime. I would have to agree with this specifically in regard to the first half of the season when there are two or three girls involved with the protagonist. He actually goes out of his way to understand the needs of each partner and diffuse conflicts between the girls.
However, this dynamic breaks down fast when more girls are introduced, and the show rapidly devolves into a typical harem comedy, losing any aspect of realism or wholesomeness. Because of that I have no interest in the second season as I expect it to only get worse.

You’re right, I misremembered how old the characters were. I removed it from my post. I must have thought that because it dealt with a lot of mature themes and war kind of forces kids to grow up fast.

Black Lagoon is one of the most underrated shows. People who have seen it usually love it, but not enough people have seen it.
I need to watch Jin-Roh sometime.

My only point of disagreement with the article is I really like Man/Machine interface. I know it’s kind of messy and not as clear with the plot and themes as some other entries, but the visuals alone make it worthwhile for me, it’s such a trip.

- Comment on A general fediverse client app, supporting multiple content types? (mastodon, lemmy, peertube, etc) 2 weeks ago:
It’s a hard user experience design problem to create an interface that presents all possible types of posts, content and interactions in a sensible way. This “kitchen sink” approach is kind of what Facebook does and as a result its interface is messy and cluttered. That’s not to say it’s impossible or wrong to do things that way, just difficult and unpopular.
On the technical side, it’s really hard to make a client app that works with multiple server softwares, because they all have different sets of features.
In the current world of fedi software development, it would be a single dev or a small, likely unpaid team that would have to make the equivalent of several different client apps combined into one. I don’t anticipate such a large and complicated project being completed until the devs can make a decent living doing the work.
- Comment on Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons? 5 weeks ago:
Nextcloud may be a bit overkill for your use case, but it does have a very good video chat function. It’s also pretty easy to deploy as a snap package or with the AIO docker image. A downside is that the other person has to have an account on your instance and log into it to join a call. However this is not necessarily difficult to arrange.
- Comment on "Ranma ½" (Remake) New Key Visual, PV 2 months ago:
I read the manga a long time ago and I thought it was fun but it got so repetitive and formulaic that I got completely bored and stopped reading it like 8 volumes in IIRC. Will probably give this adaptation a try, maybe that aspect will be improved.
- Comment on What do you prefer to selfhost? 2 months ago:
Thank you, I wasn’t sure if that video was re: Traefik or VPN. I appreciate the suggestion.
- Comment on What do you prefer to selfhost? 2 months ago:
How did you set up a VPN to securely connect to your services over the internet? I have looked for guides to do this and haven’t had much luck. I would really like to implement this in my setup.
- Comment on What do you prefer to selfhost? 2 months ago:
I self host jellyfin, nextcloud, owncast, tandoor, komga, photoprism and searxng. I use nginx proxy manager for a reverse proxy and SSL cert automation. Works great for me but I would like to get into traefik sometime.
I self host for privacy reasons, also it’s fun, it’s a learning opportunity and sometimes self-hosted services are functionally better than the other options out there.

“Army of Insatiable Emptiness” sounds like us who watched too much anime

I would take this as a joke except it’s Science Saru so basically guaranteed to be good
- Comment on Sharing music collection easily? 2 months ago:
Jellyfin is ideal for privately sharing music. Plex is similar but not FOSS.
- Comment on Video playback in mastodon mobile app 2 months ago:
That’s funny, my phone is kinda small so I had to scroll that horizontal menu with the download button, over to the right to access that button 😆 Thanks for the screenshot
- Comment on Video playback in mastodon mobile app 2 months ago:
I also ran into that issue the other day. Did you file a feature request for that? If you didn’t I will. In general though I really like Moshidon. The video player functionality I want is not available in any mastodon client app except for Fedilab technically, but its implementation is still very primitive for now.
- Comment on Video playback in mastodon mobile app 2 months ago:
True. A lot of things could be improved with the design, this is really just to visualize the core concept. I was also thinking a play/pause button on the pinned player would be good.
Getting fancier, maybe double tap on the right of the pinned player to skip forward 15 seconds would be sweet for skipping ad spots, and when you go the original post, the video could be fixed to the top of the page while you scroll into the replies.

- Comment on New "Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt" Anime Project Unveils Visual, Main Staff 2 months ago:
It might be time for a rewatch of what will soon be “season 1”. I liked PSG quite a bit when it came out. The animation is slick and creative, the soundtrack bumps and the humor is very irreverant. It was a pretty offensive and lizard-brained show but as far as I remember it was just kind of generally poking fun. I have a hard time picturing where they will take the new season though as the first one was kind of a hodgepodge with little direction.
- Comment on Is it safe to automatically pull and update docker containers? 2 months ago:
Agree, if you are running containers on a casual or “just for fun” basis then automatic updates are fine. But the more you or others depend on the service running, the more it makes sense to perform an update manually, when you have time to troubleshoot any problems that may arise. Or, even update on a test setup first to identify issues and then update on your production setup.

You know you can just request the desktop site on FB messenger and use it on your phone that way right?

- Comment on Homelab Organization 2 months ago:
Traefik is powerful and versatile but has a steep learning curve. It also uses code to control its configuration which is a bonus for reliability and documentation as discussed elsewhere ITT. Nginx proxy manager is much simpler and easier to use, may be a good one to get started with, but lacks the advantages of traefik described above. Nginx proxy manager does support SSL cert automation.
- Comment on Homelab Organization 2 months ago:
Another suggestion for you, I highly recommend specifying a version for the docker image you are using for a container, in the compose file. For example, nextcloud:29.0.1. If you just use :latest, it will pull a new version whenever you redeploy which you may not have tested against your setup, and the version upgrade may even be irreversible, as in the case of nextcloud. This will give you a lot more control over your setup. Just don’t forget to update images at reasonable intervals.
- Comment on Homelab Organization 2 months ago:
Some examples of technologies which follow that paradigm are docker compose, ansible, nixOS and terraform. But it all depends on your workflow.
- Comment on Homelab Organization 2 months ago:
I use markdown text files which are synced to my nextcloud instance.
This is somewhat tangential to your post, but I think using infrastructure as code and declarative technologies is great for reliability because you aren’t just running a bunch of commands until something works, you have the code which tells you exactly how things are set up, and you can version control it to roll back to a working state. The code itself can be a form of documentation in that case.
