- Comment on Cutting sucks 1 day ago:
This is absolutely terrible advice. It takes an insane amount of physical activity to burn the calories of a meal, and being in a deficit will make you feel hungry regardless.
The majority of people need to worry about putting down their fork, not doing more physical activities
- Comment on YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party. 6 days ago:
Or Tidal-dl-ng for Tidal
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 6 days ago:
We’re you never a child? I formatted my family pc and reinstalled windows in 5th grade, and used a VPN to circumvent the schools online filter in 7th grade.
Children are not as stupid as you seem to think
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 1 week ago:
would the network be willing to carry my signals?
That is entirely up to the whim of your neighboring nodes to decide
- Comment on Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded 1 week ago:
Hetzner and reliable do not belong in the same sentence.
Cheap yes, reliable no.
I’ve been using them for my company a lot because of how cheap they are, but compared to other European competitors (like OVH) they are complete garbage. Their pricing is the only redeeming factor.
The Schwartz Group (parent company of Lidl) is currently building a German cloud platform, which sounds a lot more promising.

Women aren’t routinely abusing men with dating apps
Lmao
- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 2 weeks ago:
And usually by the time they break they have been obsolete anyways, at least for 24/7 use in a NAS where storage density and energy efficiency are a big concern. So you would have replaced most of them long before they break, even with recertified drives
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 3 weeks ago:
Probably only surpassed by Minecraft, although that is of course no longer an indie game today
- Comment on Massive internet outage reported: Google services, Cloudflare, Character.AI among dozens of services impacted 1 month ago:
Interesting, I have a lot less problems with the Cloudflare verification, than with Google captchas. The slightest unusual thing seems to put you in captcha hell
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 1 month ago:
The title makes it appear as if it’s out of charity and goodness of their corporate heart
Only to someone that has been living under a rock for the last decade. Everyone else is able to deduct from the “to European users” in the title that the EU forced their hand
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 2 months ago:
Dann haben wir uns nur falsch verstanden. Ich habe angenommen, dass sich das “sie” im zweiten Satz auf Duolingo bezieht, also “ich benutze (Duolingo) nicht”
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 2 months ago:
Grammatik hingegen ist definitiv weiblich
Bist du dir da sicher? Ich habe noch nie jemanden “die Duolingo” sagen hören 😅
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 2 months ago:
Lernt man denn Grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht, weil ich es nicht nutze.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 3 months ago:
there’s still not really sd cards or flash drives bigger than 1tb
There are actually 2tb microSD cards now, and 4tb flash drives
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 3 months ago:
So rent a budget VPS and tunnel your home server through it?
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 3 months ago:
Why rent? If you have fiber and aren’t behind CGNAT you can host from your home
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 3 months ago:
5TB requires you to be a company??? My personal NAS already has 92TB

You know this is more than enough reason to fire you once your IT department finds out
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 3 months ago:
Most manufacturers only list average power draw, but in HDR mode you can get much higher peak power useage.
This website also lists peak power draw for many TVs, in this example the Bravia 9 85 inch has a peak of 380W
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 3 months ago:
Your research would be incorrect
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 3 months ago:
Gigantic 80" screens generally draw something like 120W
In HDR mode they can draw a lot more than that for short peaks
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 4 months ago:
OK, do you want me to tell 50 users of my Plex server that they can no longer use their shitty 10 year old smart TV to watch my movie library, and instead have to pay money buy a chromecast dongle, and then get a completely different UI and lose all their view progress on TV series? They’d just go back to paying for Netflix
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 4 months ago:
Yes. I have a lifetime Plex pass, and I donated to Jellyfin as well. Looking forward to the day I can uninstall Plex and no longer worry about them potentially giving my data to Media companies so they can sue for piracy
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 4 months ago:
The problem with Jellyfin is that it’s not a viable alternative for people hosting a Plex server for their family and friends. If you are the only 8ne using your server it’s fine, but Jellyfin doesn’t have working apps for every platform, and the ones that have a Jellyfin client available are not nearly as user friendly.
- Comment on The Origin of Student Debt: Reagan Adviser Warned Free College Would Create a Dangerous "Educated Proletariat” 4 months ago:
Germany doesn’t have free education, it just costs less than in the US. And unlike the US we actually have a school system divided into 3 different skill levels after 4th grade, and only the ones finishing the highest level of school education qualify to go to university. Today that’s about 50% of school students, but it used to be way less
- Comment on Google Photos will no longer sync with third-party digital photo frames 4 months ago:
I’m sorry, but then you are the minority. AI image categorization and face recognition is amazing for finding specific pictures quickly
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 4 months ago:
I avoid them as much as possible purely because their in-house logistics company recently started doing their deliveries here instead of DHL, and they are absolutely terrible. Delivery times range from 7 AM to 9 PM and they just leave the package in front of your door without even ringing the doorbell
- Comment on Meow 5 months ago:
If meows sounded anything like human baby cries they would give me an instant headache and the desire to get rid of the noise
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 5 months ago:
Maybe I need it give it another chance, but 3 months ago it was still hot garbage compared to plex
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 5 months ago:
It’s pretty easy to jailbreak a Kindle and block firmware updates. But the fact that it is necessary in the first place sucks
