Yes. That’s Czech casting.
- Comment on Gmail alternative: good idea to use personal domain+hosting? 1 month ago:
Get your own domain. Don’t host your own.
I’ve had the same domain on gmail, proton and now purelymail.
- Comment on What does the 3-2-1 rule look like for you? 1 month ago:
My day-to-day stuff stays in sync via syncthing on my two laptops, my desktop and my home server. They all run btrfs, so I won’t be syncing any flipped bits around.
Home server rsyncs from my VPS once a week. When that’s fine, it rsyncs itself over to a hetzner storage over sshfs+gocryptfs.
Four copies at home, one in the cloud.
- Comment on What is everyone using as a HTPC? 1 month ago:
I’ve tried libreelec on a raspberry pi 4, but it just doesn’t pass the wife test.
We have a thomson streaming stick 140G (EU branding for ONN). We just use jellyfin, smarttube and our national public service streaming apps. It’s in apps-only mode, but Google still injects one ad on the home screen. I didn’t bother with a custom launcher just yet.

I went over to purelymail.
It’s not fancy encrypted like proton, but it’s very affordable and straight forward to set up for your own domains.

Is Tesla boomer slang for any EV?
Like how my mother bought one of them Nokia iPhones?
- Comment on Tempo – An open source music client for Subsonic with Android Auto support, now with continuous playback, new codec support and more! 3 months ago:
Sweet! Tempo is the best subsonic client I’ve found for Android. Hoping to use it for a long time.
- Comment on Tempo – An open source music client for Subsonic with Android Auto support, now with continuous playback, new codec support and more! 3 months ago:
It’s a protocol for hosting music libraries.
Think of it like your personal Spotify backend.
I’m running navidrome to serve music to tempo on my devices.
- Comment on Best HDD/SSD for local media hosting 4 months ago:
Whatever you get, get at least two and do RAID1/5/6. They will break.
Speed shouldn’t be an issue for streaming media.
- Comment on Is there any open-source project that serves the same purpose of Duolingo that can be self-hosted? 4 months ago:
Inspired by xkcd’s thing explainer I generated a list of how often words appeared in subtitles on opensubtitles for my target language.
I whipped those into a database, added manual translation for the top-1000 and started quizzing myself with a tiny php script.
It was more fun to code than to actually quiz myself. I think I played the top-100 before I got bored.
- Comment on Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds 5 months ago:
The theorem holds true. The theorem states that the monkey has infinite time, not just the lifetime of our universe.
That’s just lazy science to change the conditions to make sensational headlines. Bad scientists!

I’ll keep that secret from her 😅
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 5 months ago:
Three years ago, I bought my wife a laptop with Windows 10 to replace her 10yo windows 7 machine.
It had hardware issues out of the box, and went in on two repairs. It works fine now, AFAIK.
But, she still doesn’t trust it, and she doesn’t think that she can move her Adobe CS6 license over to it…
I even bought her the affinity suite.
I’m starting to think she’ll never move on from Windows 7.
I think the major browsers stopped supporting it sometime during the last year, so my best hope is that some included certificates will eventually make her favourite websites stop working. That has to force her over to something more recent… right?
I use arch, btw.
- Comment on Automattic demanded a cut of WP Engine’s revenue before starting WordPress battle. 6 months ago:
Did I misunderstand something about the scenario here?
Wordpress foundation is a non-profit that develops and hosts installation packages and updates.
WPengine is a for-profit company that sells wordpress hosting.
All WPengine installations constantly look for updates and download these from the wordpress foundation. I’d bet they probably rack up half of their bandwidth costs.
WPengine can of course freely use wordpress’ GPLv2 licensed stuff, but it sounds like their leeching of resources was the main pain point.
To either contribute or host their own installation packages sounds like a fair request at the scale WPengine has been operating.
Hetzner, for comparison, sells virtual private servers running Debian. Debian is free, under a similar license as wordpress. Hetzner is a Debian partner and coughs up dough. Hetzner hosts their own mirrors to reduce load on Debian’s repositories.
Be like hetzner. Stroke the hand that feeds.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated 6 months ago:
Sounds like a prompt for generative AI to sink its teeth into.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated 6 months ago:
these emulation handhelds – which often come pre-loaded with hundreds of games
I can only speak for the retroid pocket I have. It’s not far off from a stock android phone, sans camera and modem, plus d-pad and sticks.
It only came preloaded with a few open source emulators available on play store for free in addition to GApps (with official play store support).
