- Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP 4 weeks ago:
I have tons of great suggestions depending on your hardware and what kinds of things you’d like to be hosting.
However, for starters, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you are binding your qBittorrent container to a privacy VPN network interface. Test it to ensure it’s working. There are sites out there that you can use to check how your torrent IP presents. No matter what you’re torrenting, keep your IP hidden. The last thing you want is your ISP to terminate your fancy new service.
- Comment on Discord is verifying some users’ age with ID and facial scans 4 weeks ago:
Kind of. Matrix is the most supported, and works very well. However, it doesn’t have feature parity with Discord. Voice/video chat can be added via integrations, but it takes quite a few modifications to the server’s infrastructure.
It’s also a bit more complicated to navigate,
Revolt is being created as a proper FOSS Discord replacement (similar UI even), but it’s pretty early in development. It also lacks federation, which is a huge caveat imo.

- Comment on Trump cuts funding to FOSS projects. 1 month ago:
Let’s Encrypt has done so much for encouraging the spread of HTTPS and good certificate practices. If they went away, I honestly think a good chunk of the internet would start breaking after ~6 months.
- Comment on Trump cuts funding to FOSS projects. 1 month ago:
I this really sucks. I honestly didn’t know the Feds gave so much money to FOSS, but I looked up the USAGM and that makes sense.
It tracks with current trends. Basically anything that could be interpreted as benefiting any county other than the United States or any demographic other than rich white men is getting funding cut. What an embarrassment.
At a time when decentralizing information is critical, our tools to do so are also threatened.

But if it’s AI generated, who are they going to lay off after they repeats it?

Configurations behind a reverse proxy that did not explicitly configure trusted proxies will not work after this release. This was never a supported configuration, so please ensure you correct your configuration before upgrading. See the updated docs here for more information.
Well I’m glad I read that before upgrading!

Good for them. The gaming industry has needed better worker protections for decades. Healthier developers are more creative developers.

Do you play exclusively esports games or something? It’s rare I encounter a title that doesn’t work just fine on Linux. It seems I barely need to tweak any settings anymore.

You used to ignore the phone to browse the internet on a computer.
Now you ignore the computer to browse the internet on your phone.
- Comment on YSK: some places it is a crime to ask questions 2 months ago:
I’m assuming the mods didn’t think the question was asked in good faith, but rather a “troll” question. I suspect the same, just like how this post seems more like a complaint than advice.
If you are genuinely curious, I’d advise either looking up the history of authoritarianism or re-framing your question.

It’s by far my favorite text editor on Windows. The first time I used it (I think to edit cfg files for Skyrim mods, lol), I was hooked. It’s great to know it’s creator is so principled.

I think most self-hosted Git+CI/CD platforms have container registry as a feature, but I’m not aware of a service that is just a standalone registry.

It’s such a shame. I like it too. When I play it, I can see a great game hidden behind a couple poor focus decisions. I honestly think the majority of Star Field’s issues are solvable, even post-launch.

- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 2 months ago:
Youtube is probably the most difficult platform on the internet to replace. Video content delivery is extremely resource heavy and technically complicated, especially once you start to scale. Many, many competitors have attempted it over the years, and while some found their niche, none of them have achieved anywhere close to the scale of Youtube.
It took decades of Youtube to become profitable, only doing so after achieving mind-boggling economy of scale. The majority of humans on earth have used Youtube. About half of all (global) internet users use it monthly. I don’t know if any other platform can claim stats like that.
Youtube is one of those platforms that only exists because it got a head start in the unique conditions of the early internet. I don’t know if it’s even possible to create a true competitor, though I could see multiple platforms taking over different niches.
