- Comment on Have you done US district court jury duty? What CAN I bring with me to the courthouse? 14 hours ago:
I would ask your local court. Express your concerns about your condition.
As someone with hypoglycemia (think diabetes Type II Light), there’s no way I could do any kind of jury duty without my snack bag.
And I’m not eating or drinking whatever garbage they decide to provide. Sorry, I’ve found what works for me. And my fellow jurors you won’t like me when my blood sugar drops - my ability to reason goes right out the window.

I don’t know anyone who talks about the good old days.
My great grandparents didn’t. My 90 year old grandparents don’t.
- Comment on When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time? 1 day ago:
Plus most ovens don’t hold a single temp, but vary between two points attempting to average the set point.
Convection ovens improve the stability of the average temp throughout the oven.
- Comment on When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time? 1 day ago:
That’s because convection is a faster bake.
- Comment on When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time? 1 day ago:
But only an experienced baker will know this, and off-hand I can’t think of anything where I could trade off time for temp
- Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole? 2 days ago:
Can you be more specific?
I first ran Proxmox on it (which ran fine, just overkill for my use-case).
Now it’s Windows server and anything I do on it is done in a VM via VMware Workstation (since it’s free). So the host os doesn’t see much change and any changes that break things can be rolled back via a VM snapshot. Proxmox ZFS would be better for this, but I don’t need it, yet.
- Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole? 2 days ago:
I’ve run Proxmox on it, but it was overly complex and overkill for my use case.
Right now the host OS is Windows Server running VMware Workstation. Pihole runs in a VM (DietPi), which auto starts on reboot. Fast setup, runs as my DC, VM’s as needed with enough performance (though not as much as I’d like for my virtualization goals).
Next box will be my own build since this one is limited on space.

For me Quicksync converts videos anywhere from 4x to 10x faster than using the GPU.

For business, ECC is definitely required. I really don’t see it needed for home use.
I’ve never run it for home boxes - I’ve had a Windows domain at home since the 90’s using desktop hardware and it’s as stable as any SMB I’ve seen running on enterprise-grade hardware.
- Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole? 2 days ago:
I’m using a 2019 Dell SFF OptiPlex.
With the current 8TB data drive, it idles at 18w, but being Intel, can convert or tranacose very quickly.
With the previous 2TB drive it idled at 12w, little mire than a Pi, but far more capable.
I run my PiHole on it, and Jellyfin, HandBrake, etc, plus 4 VMs using VMware for some other stuff as needed (testing mostly).
Hard to beat the bang for buck, or per watt.
- Comment on Looking for recommendation to upgrade my Raspberry Pi-based home server 1 week ago:
Others have mentioned SFF desktops.
My current server is an old Dell Optiplex SFF desktop. Idles at just under 20w, peaks at 80. Currently has an NVME boot drive, and an 8TB 3.5" drive.
Runs like a champ, easily serves Jellyfin video, with transcoding, while converting videos with handbrake (and with 2 other systems converting videos off that drive over the net).
Cost, internal space, options and power it’s hard to beat an SFF. If you don’t need internal space or conversion power, than a NUC can work (the lack of sufficient cooling limits it’s converting capabilities).
- Comment on Looking for a good kindle reader alternative 1 week ago:
Two ways I like to get files to/from a mobile device: Syncthing (Möbius on iOS) or ResilioSync.
Resilio has a great feature, Selective Sync, that enables arbitrarily syncing files from a remote location. Nice for grabbing specific files when needed.
Unfortunately neither one handles any kind of reading status, they’re just file sync.
- Comment on Looking for a good kindle reader alternative 1 week ago:
I kind of figured, because why wouldn’t you want that?
- Comment on Looking for a good kindle reader alternative 1 week ago:
When you say sync, do you mean just the books, or reading status (what page you’re on?)

- Comment on Best Synology Replacement? 2 weeks ago:
Well, TrueNAS is a RAID system, and pretty much any Linux distro can run ZFS.
- Comment on Yet another note taking recommendation needed 2 weeks ago:
I sync hundreds of gigs, (if not terabytes at this point) using Syncthing with errors on only one machine (it’s running on 6 devices, including a VM). And those errors are of my own doing, not random Syncthing errors.
It’s surprisingly robust these days, especially for a single-user notes.
I have an indexing job that runs on my server every 30 minutes, saving into a text file (it indexes my media folder, which is about 3TB of movies and TV shows).
Those text files sync to my phone when they’ve changed (so every 30 minutes). They’re always up to date when I open them.
My phone also has jobs to continually sync my photos to home, an ad-hoc folder to my laptop, and about 25 other folder pairs (including NeoBackup) that sync under different conditions, without fail.
I’m currently testing Cherrytree using Sourcherry on Android and it seems to work fine as a single-user solution with Syncthing.

- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 2 weeks ago:
Others have clarified, but I’d like to add that security isn’t one thing - it’s done in layers so each layer protects from potential failures in another layer.
This is called The Swiss Cheese Model. of risk mitigation.
If you take a bunch of random slices of Swiss cheese and stack them up, how likely is there to be a single hole that goes though every layer?
Using more layers reduces the risk of “hole alignment”.
Here’s an example model:
So a router that has no open ports, then a mesh VPN (wireguard/Tailscale) to access different services.
That VPN should have rules that only specific ports may be connected to specific hosts.
Hosts are on an isolated network (could be VLANS), with only specific ports permitted into the VLAN via the VPN (service dependent).
Each service and host should use unique names for admin/root, with complex passwords, and preferably 2FA (or in the case of SSH, certs).
Admin/root access should be limited to local devices, and if you want to get really restrictive, specific devices.
In the Enterprise it’s not unusual to have an admin password management system that you have to request an admin password for a specific system, for a specific period of time (which is delivered via a secure mechanism, sometimes in person). This is logged, and when the requested time frame expires the password is changed.
Everyone’s risk model and Swiss cheese layering will fall somewhere on this scale.
- Comment on What's the real danger of opening ports? 2 weeks ago:
About 5 years ago I opened a port to run a test.
Within hours it was getting hammered (probably by scripts) trying to figure out what that port was forwarded to, and trying to connect.
I closed the port about a week later, but not before that poor consumer router was overwhelmed with the hits.
I closed the port after a week. For the next 2 years I’d get hammered with scans occasionally.
There are tools out there continually looking for open ports, they probably get added to a database and hackers/script kiddies, whoever, will try to get in.
Whats interesting is I did the same thing around 2000 with a DSL connection (which was very much a static address) and it wasn’t an issue even though there were fewer always-on consume connections.

This is just from an initial search, with strict query:
Known Cases in 2024 of Bystander Deaths or Innocent Victim Deaths in Street Racing-Related Crashes
St. Louis County, Missouri – April 2024 Construction worker killed in work-zone by street racing crash Two 18‑year‑olds racing; one lost control and struck construction workers. One, Christopher Johnson (34), was pronounced dead. www.wdtv.com
Portland, Oregon – Fatal crash killing innocent bystander Young mother (Ashlee McGill, 26) killed She was struck by a vehicle that lost control during an illegal street race while she was a bystander (had no involvement). hoodline.com/…/portland-man-sentenced-to-3-years-…
Grand Prairie, Texas – August 10, 2024 Family killed by alleged street racer Four family members (parents and two children) killed when their car was struck by alleged street racer returning from Six Flags. people.com/four-family-members-killed-after-stree…
Kansas City, Missouri – December 2024 Two innocent people killed in street racing crash A street race (Chrysler 300 vs Charger) resulted in collision with a Honda HR‑V turning onto another road; both people in the Honda died. These victims were not part of the race. tonyskansascity.com
As someone who grew up in the racing community (at tracks designed for it), I’ve watched the safety improvements dramatically improve over my lifetime, and the number of attendee injuries drop to near zero and yet we still have crashes that exceed the math of safety engineers.
I work very hard to not insult people here, but to critique their statements, but in this case, get fucked with your selfish bullshit.

I don’t know who these people are, and more importantly don’t fucking care.
How long I’ve been “on the internet” (which is since before PC’s were a common thing) is irrelevant.
I am curious whether the safety argument is valid, but only after settling the copyright argument (which seems utterly bullshit) and the libel claims.
Frankly it all sounds juvenile, and I hope both sides lose their asses in court for wasting it’s time.

- Comment on Recommendations for Note taking app with simple needs 3 weeks ago:
Others have mentioned Syncthing as a sync solution. I’d like to add a couple points:
Syncthing can work fine even for solutions that are intended to use their own sync, provided it’s a single-user setup. You’re not likely to make simultaneous changes on 2 devices, so collisions are unlikely.
Also for using Syncthing, I recommend Syncthing-Fork for Android - it moves sync conditions into the folder/job rather than global. Very useful when you have jobs you want always syncing, and jobs you want to only sync on wifi and power.
If using iOS there’s an ST client called Möbius Sync ($5), developed by a company the financially supports Syncthing.
For Windows, get SyncTrayzor - it makes running and managing ST easier.
