I think it took a long time for me the first time. They seem way smaller than Discord, so I imagine they don’t have the fastest infrastructure. Also, I signed up with a non-gmail account and their verification email did make it through eventually.

You can create text or voice channels.

Eh, the more you say it, the more normal it’ll sound. Stoat. Like oat. Or like stoked.
“Goo Gewl” isn’t exactly a good name…

It’s also worth noting, you don’t need to self host. You can sign up for their hosted instance too.
Of course, if you want to self host that’s great too.

I recently joined! It’s very close to Discord.

- Comment on Tesla profit tanked 46% in 2025 | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
I had a Model 3 for several years. I didn’t find the quality that great. I actually was surprised how average/slightly shitty it was. The interior of my Kia Niro is way nicer than my Model 3 interior was. Everything feels way more premium on the Niro.
In terms of software, again, my Model 3 wasn’t that great. I constantly had problems with the screen bugging out. Sometimes I couldn’t adjust the air, sometimes ghost cars would appear around me while I was parked, the cars would be twitching out. The worst was when I was driving on a highway, going like 120km/h, and then the whole damn car decides to reboot. Luckily, I was able to continue driving, but the speedometer was gone, the air started blasting (and I couldn’t control it), the radio was stuck (I couldn’t control it).
Yes, the Tesla touchscreen was high res and responsive, but so are modern cars now. I have a Kia Niro with a fantastic screen, high res, responsive, and I can use Android Auto. The interior build quality is also way better than the Model 3 was. I also have an Hyundai Ionic 6, which also has a great screen, also allows Android Auto.
Both the Niro and the Ionic 6 have pretty comparable drive assist features too. Tesla may still be ahead, technically, but other car manufacturers have closed the gap significantly.
I don’t miss Tesla at all.

Hyundai Ionic 6 (sedan) or Ionic 5 (suv). I have the Ionic 6. It’s great! Even better than my old Model 3 because I can use Android Auto. AND I haven’t had the 6 reboot on me during highway driving.
(My Model 3 once rebooted while I was driving on the highway.)

Oh, Synology. What’s up with them? I heard they’re experimenting with vendor lock-in for their hard drives.

- Comment on YSK a US passport card costs $30 and is definitive proof of citizenship. It fits in your wallet like a credit card. 4 weeks ago:
“You blind motherfuckers, you aren’t even good at being racist; do I look Mexican to you?”
Right… because it was only a problem because you’re Asian… the stop would have been fine if you were actually Mexican… gee thanks.
- Comment on Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night 4 weeks ago:
I think most people in the US don’t travel to other countries, so they almost never see a 24h clock. Whenever, we do see 24h time, most people call it “military time”, probably cuz of movies or something.

I wish Hetzner didn’t require uploading my legal documents (they asked for my passport or ID) to verify my account. Otherwise, seems cool. I’m in the US.

Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you’ll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud
We’re so doomed. A lot of people will probably buy into this because they can’t possibly be inconvenienced by owning a computer.
I was talking about AI with someone the other day and they said, “Wow, in the future we probably won’t be able to work without a subscription to ChatGPT. Oh, well.” Like. wat. teh. faq. People see the convenience trap, but can’t be bothered to do anything about it. I hate this timeline.
- Comment on What if the Internet Goes Down? - 15 Jan, 7PM CET 4 weeks ago:
I don’t actually own a Meshtastic device… but I did blow off work to do a little browsing and found this:
Meshtastic does not require any license and is open for anyone to use.
Meshtastic does not require a HAM radio license to operate
don’t need an amateur radio license for the low-power bands used by Meshtastic
- Comment on What if the Internet Goes Down? - 15 Jan, 7PM CET 4 weeks ago:
setup with no need of complex licenses, it would be interesting
It doesn’t seem like you need any licensing, it’s like a walkie talkie.
it could prove as a useful city project for cheap, reliant, local communications
I’m not sure if that’s the right usecase. Meshtastic seems to be for short-range, line-of-sight-ish communication. Apparently, you can set up repeaters to expand the coverage area, but it seems like buildings, trees, etc will dramatically affect the signal strength.
- Comment on What if the Internet Goes Down? - 15 Jan, 7PM CET 4 weeks ago:
walkie talkie
Yeah, I think so. I saw a video where someone called it “a walkie talkie, but for sending text messages”. People use these for going on remote hikes, hunting trips, or protests. Basically, any area where you can’t use a cellphone. They’re not a replacement for cellphones, they fill a different usecase.

What about connectivity? I’m currently using Tailscale cuz it’s so easy. Maybe I should look into WireGuard? Also, how does Headscale fit into this?

Does anyone have a good guide for installing Seafile? I tried installing it a few months ago, but it’s so damn complicated with load balancers behind load balancers and a bunch of services tied together.
I gotta try again.
- Comment on YSK that Stanford scientists examined what happens when people stop using social media. They found deactivating Facebook and Instagram significantly improved users' emotional well-being and happiness 1 month ago:
Leechblock and unhook are required browser extensions for me.
YouTuber is extra tricky because I can easily convince myself that I’m not wasting time, I’m “learning”. Even though I doubt I’ll ever need to know how to build a mud hut with a secret swimming pool underneath…
In general, I found if I remove the addictive elements from YouTube or whatever, as opposed to blocking the website entirely, I’m more likely to stick to being sober. I treat my phone the same way, I use YAM Launcher to help remove distractions.

How the heck did you install Seafile!? I spent a whole day trying to get it to work, but there are so many moving parts and proxies behind proxies behind proxies. I managed to get the UI to load, but other parts of the app didn’t work. I want to like it, but it seems pretty complicated to install… 😢
