- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 1 week ago:
I manage all my services with systems. Simple services like kanidm, that are just a single native executable run baremetal with a different user. More complex Setups like immich or anything that requires a pzthon venv runs from a docker compose file that gets managed by systemd. Each service has its own user and it’s own directory.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 week ago:
For Facebook it doesn’t matter if its e2e. They control the client on both sides. They can just let the client sent the clear text data to them.
- Comment on Why isn't using a key file the most common way to log into self-hosted servers? 3 weeks ago:
If a service doesnt offer Oidc, just dont self host it. The SSO service can then be properly secured and even if its only a password, at least its not reused.

You know how at some point ww1 was just called world war? Get ready for Cuban missile crisis 1 & 2.
- Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns 5 weeks ago:
We wouldn’t even need to ban them outright. Just ban the usage for important things like windscreenwipers and climate control.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 2 months ago:
At least in the beginning the scrapers just used curl with a different user agent. Forcing them to use a headless client is already a 100x increase in resources for them. That in itself is already a small victory and so far it is working beautifully.
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 2 months ago:
The fun thing is, for LLM you don’t need perfectly repeatable result. It won’t speed up training but running the chips could be significantly cheaper with that kind of tech. Veritasium had a video about it a couple of years back, before the ai craze.
- Comment on Assign privileged port to caddy running with rootless podman 3 months ago:
Most people expect a domain to work without adding 8080 as a port number in the URL. Hell, I’d say a majority don’t even know that it’s possible.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 3 months ago:
For the same reason you compare things lightly to the holocaust. At some point the word looses the gravity of it’s meaning.
- Comment on Girls 3 months ago:
As a specific example: it is used in control loops to accurately describe your system. If you have an accurate description it then becomes trivial to describe the PID controller to manage it. Going from open to closed loop is as simple as adding +1 to your equation for example.
- Comment on issues setting up nginx as an https proxy 4 months ago:
Consider using Caddy. It is much simpler to setup and all the required headers get set automatically.

I’m getting the feeling he really doesn’t like Anish. Every page I’ve looked at has Anish mentioned. The anal apocalypse is especially for him. The glow in the dark pigment is free, if you can prove that you are associated with him to share the light.
Do they have some big feud going on?

- Comment on Israel | An IDF soldier just exposed that Israel deliberately let October 7 happen 5 months ago:
Combined with ordering soldiers to shoot their own civilians
Excuse me, WHAT? Do you have a proper source because that sounds bonkers!
- Comment on Anubis is awesome! Stopping (AI)crawlbots 6 months ago:
No. The rate limit doesn’t work as they use huge IP Spaces to crawl. Each IP alone is not bad they just use several thousand of them.
Using the API would assume some basic changes. We don’t do that here. If they wanted that, they could run their own instance and would even get notified about changes. No crawling required at all.
- Comment on Cloudflare wants Google to change its AI search crawling. Google likely won’t. 6 months ago:
The article links to 4 incidents that are reported on Hackernews. So yes. At least 4
- Comment on Anubis, The Opensource Defender Against AI Bots: I fight bots in my free time 6 months ago:
You can bypass it by changing the user agent to not include Mozilla in the beginning.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 7 months ago:
Matrix still has it’s problems. All the meta data is still saved on every server permanently.
There is still space to improve from there.
- Comment on New fuel cell could enable electric aviation 8 months ago:
Both Boeing and Airbus are working on H2 Tech for Planes.
- Comment on Don't Look Up 8 months ago:
I disagree on some spots. There are electric motors for paramotors which are significantly quieter..
You could use it in the night. With still air you also don’t need to have the breaks in your hands all the time.
I still wouldn’t use it as an attack vehicle.
- Comment on 28 years later, Lego Island's lost source code has been rediscovered – but the fans who spent nearly two years painstakingly decompiling it by hand "can't have it" 8 months ago:
No. The code was discovered by a person who used to work on it back in the day. They don’t give it out, unless the decompilers have the permission to get it from the original rights owner. It’s however unclear who owns the rights. They tried to get the permission but all three companies that might own it, didn’t even answer.
- Comment on Is it normal to not have any malicious login attempts? 9 months ago:
It’s possible to stream from jellyfin without an account. Jellyfin should not be connected to untrusted networks, like the internet. Several API just don’t check the key or don’t require one in the first place.
- Comment on conduwuit, “featureful fork of conduit” (Rust Matrix homeserver), is discontinued 9 months ago:
Here is some more context. Are they biased? Probably in some shape or form.
- Comment on A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates 9 months ago:
Could be improved by swapping hours and minutes. They are more important after all.
Also that way the time isn’t in order anymore.
- Comment on How to secure Jellyfin hosted over the internet? 10 months ago:
Some of these are bonkers. The argument not to fix them because of backwards compatibility is even wilder. Which normal client would need the ability to get data for any other account that it hasn’t the Auth token for.

- Comment on Self-hosted SSO 10 months ago:
I don’t like the interface for setting up flows. Feels needlessly complicated.

- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
There are different kinds of free. Free beer, free speech and free weekend are three different kinds of free that software can have, but not necessarily at the same time.

Just imagine spending 4k€ on a graphics card only to find it’s partially defect.
