Nice
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 2 weeks ago:
If I want to avoid connecting my LG smart TV with my network, but I would like to still use a remote with an external device running Jellyfin plugged in via HDMI, what privacy respecting options do I have here? AFAIK, TV sticks run Android and can also collect your data, so my natural guess would be to plug in a device running Linux, but how about remote control?
- Comment on Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video] 2 weeks ago:
This would happen under any system since power-hungry narcissists are everywhere, so sooner or later every society would run into these issues. My statement is not meant to defend capitalism but to rather state the question on how to prevent or diminish these kind of influences from power-hungry people, independent of the underlying economic system.
- Comment on Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing? 3 weeks ago:
There is also Peersuite which is a P2P solution and offers great audio and streaming quality. However, it is mainly a single developer behind it and it hasn’t received an update in months. It still lacks some polish and features like a server instance and persistent chats and rooms.
For me, this is the most promising one I have come across in terms of a replacement for Discord.
- Comment on What game is a guilty pleasure of yours? 4 weeks ago:
Turok 2 for GameBoy Color. It was one of my first games for the GameBoy and I still love it, although, objectively speaking, it might not even be average. The translation was bad and left me confused (non-native English speaker), the levels were not particularly well designed and the platforming and shooting was very bland. But I did not care and it really threw me into the Lost World (was a huge fan of the Lost World movie based on the novel and also the cheesy 90s TV series). The music was great, though, to the point that I would consider it to be in my top 3 all-time gaming OSTs (I think the composer was Alberto Gonzales). I replay it from time to time, nowadays on my retro handheld. Despite the general forgettable nature of the game, I still have fond memories playing it and the music plays a big role in this as well.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
Thanks a lot for your suggestions and feedback! I also would like to use services within the EU, so I will give Bunny a closer look.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
I am in the same boat (learning on the go, living in EU and using fail2ban and reverse proxy although I use nginx). Sounds good that it runs so well for you! Where did you register your domain? I’ll look into BunnyCDN as well.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
I looked into porkbun and it seems that they already offer a Cloudflare API for dynamic DNS. Why did you choose to separately use Cloudflare? Bit otherwise it looks promising to give it a try.

I have a cronjob that runs every minute to update the IP address. I could try to increase it to every hour or so. In the beginning I tracked how often the ISP changed the address and it was roughly like once every 24-30 hours, cannot really remember.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
For me it seems like a very similar issue with these inconsistencies. Why would your think it does not really match? Especially given that the network connection of our server location is always fine during these down times?
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
For me it seems like to be a similar issue with the duckdns inconsistencies.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
So there could be a potenital issue where the correct IP address has been sent but the record has not been updated … Yesterday for example we faced the issue that at least one of three could not access the server. Suddenly it worked for someone who could not connect, only for him to lose access again after a couple of minutes. We all have been in Discord during that time, and the internet connection was fine for everyone.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
The server is running at my friends house who has a fiber connection. When we face these connection issues, it does not necessarily mean that all of us cannot access Jellyfin but often times only a couple of us cannot access (same error as if you mistype a web-address, so it cannot resolve the domain name). During these periods of connection issues, the internet connection of my friend is working completely fine. I have a script running that constantly sends the current IP address to the dynDNS provider. I also looked into how often our ISP changes the IP address and it is not very often and not during these issues.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
Thanks, yes I also use a script that constantly sends the current IP address to the dynDNS provider. I could be completely wrong, but the internet connection of my friends house where the server stands is fine even during these connection issues. So I would blame the DNS resolution, but it is also my first time running a server.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
I have a script running which sends the current IP to our dynDNS provider. I would assume that this is fine then?
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 5 weeks ago:
I am using dynv6.com. The reason I blame the DNS resolution is because when I have issues connecting (as if the domain is not available), it does not mean that my friends cannot connect either. The server is at a friends house who has a fiber connection and who has no issues when we habe trouble connecting again. I could be totally wrong, but to me it sounds like dynv6 has some troubles.
I also have a script running, which constantly updates dynv6 with our current IP address.

I expected Butt Nuts to be something different…
- Comment on Serious Sam 2 was just updated after 20 years in celebration of its anniversary 2 months ago:
This game was a fever dream. Played through it in coop with a friend. Given the fact that this game is not what Serious Sam typically is associated with, it really is nice that it received an update like this after all these years. TSE is still my favourite (love the jungle/Aztec themed levels).
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 2 months ago:
Fair enough. For me, the gameplay formula is a bit like chess. Very analytical and logical, and it just works perfectly.
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 2 months ago:
Dude, the gameplay, especially with HotA aged very well.
- Comment on Bro wake up it's 1997. 4 months ago:
Yeah, I remember. You can actually unlock it when doing this knockout championship. I also remember that knockout was kinda buggy when playing multiplayer.

NFS2 Special Edition was so good. My favourite of the series. The menu music alone were bangers.
- Comment on Oblivion Remaster Rockets Past 100K Players on Steam Hours After Launch - Insider Gaming 8 months ago:
This looks like a very solid remaster where they also fixed some glaring issues with the original like the outragious leveling (and therefore to some degree the scaling-) system. I am not a huge Bethesda fan but they did many things right with this. I hope that this remaster will be available on GOG at some point as well.
