If you’re tracking your location anyway, consider adding support to send your location to OpenCellID and BeaconDB to improve FOSS location services and data :)
- Comment on Tips on speeding up remote connection to personal server? 1 week ago:
I found IPv6 is usually faster than IPv4. Which do you use to connect?
- Comment on Redlib is running on borrowed time — so I built a Reddit front-end that archives what it serves 1 week ago:
Can you edit your post to be shorter and more concise and add an AI disclaimer about how much of your project is done with AI and in which capacity you use LLMs to write it?
- Comment on Redlib is running on borrowed time — so I built a Reddit front-end that archives what it serves 1 week ago:
That’s because it’s written by Claude, an LLM. It’s trained on corporate bullshit. The author seems to be a proper software engineer assisted by Claude Code which is OK in my book. They seem to be Chinese and translate everything into English with AI. Since I can’t read Chinese I can’t tell you whether the Chinese readme is also generated:
I wouldn’t call this project slop, as it clearly has a human touch and not completely written by AI it seems from a first glance at the code, but that’s the reason the writing sounds so “grating”: Chinese person feeding an LLM with idioms not present in English language.
- Comment on Voiden - CLI runner (update) 2 weeks ago:
I feel the void whenever I need to script APIs, it’s fine.
If you POST into the void long enough, one day, the void POSTs back.
- Comment on Is there room for Windows selfhosters? 3 weeks ago:
Did you install the guest tools and set the CPU governor to the correct scheduler? Do the Windows boxes host the same applications as the Linux boxes?
- Comment on HELP : Cannot upload files bigger than ~180MB to matrix server 3 weeks ago:
That’s synapse, not continuwuity, correct?
- Comment on What to do after getting a domain name? 3 weeks ago:
Don’t run services like these on a free domain. Get a very cheap domain from almost any provider. These free ones often try to get you to buy their domain name for outrageous prices with tricks and footnotes.
- Comment on What's your contingency plan for the apocalypse? 3 weeks ago:
I mean, you’re not doing huge batches. If my life depended on meds I’d be damned if I didn’t learn how to cook them myself or with the help of my PhD friends 😄
- Comment on What's your contingency plan for the apocalypse? 3 weeks ago:
Can you get equipment and recipes to synthesise these meds yourself or have someone do it? Befriend some pharmacists and pharma PhDs?
- Comment on What is the current state of Matrix? 9 months ago:
If you want a conduwuit sucessor, I’d choose the continuwuity project over tuwunel.
You realise that sounds insane, right?
- Comment on What is the current state of Matrix? 9 months ago:
I recently shut down my server because it’s a high traffic, high risk software. You should have an eye on it, I’d say at least half an hour every week…
