More like unpopular opinion.
But I mostly agree, always better also for your health to cook at home.
But everyone deserves a threat and if you live in the USA, then tip is required…
Stupid and idiot thing, i am grateful I don’t live there for this reason. I spent time and lived in the USA 20 years ago… I never complained for tipping, nut now I am only baffled at wht it has become today your tipping culture.

I never noticed… But you are right, there is no autoplay for next episode

Look out for OpenRC. Using it since forever and never missed systemd.
Plain script files, simple, just works. Unless you need any systemd advanced capabilities, OpenRC just rocks.

Navidrome for music, jellyfin for video based media. Audiobookshelf for podcasts and audiobooks.
Get the best of each one, much better.
- Comment on Help diagnosing server freeze issue 1 week ago:
Ram issue or CPU overheat. Monitor CPU temperature over time, and run an extensive me test, like for an entire night…
- Comment on DNS server 1 week ago:
Just a normal 4 people home, two teenagers tough. Enabling a DNS resolver indeed stop working after a few days while setting it up as forwarder to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or pick yours works just fine.
Maybe it’s something else, but when it happens, that’s the feel
- Comment on Will this Jellyfin configuration expose me to security risks? 2 weeks ago:
I would secure it behind a good reverse proxy with letsancrypt https certificates…
- Comment on DNS server 2 weeks ago:
Above some threshold, the one you will cross when filtering port 53 in your network and setup a custom full resolver, it can happen.
I experienced it, it seems they filter excess dns traffic from inside. Probably more a malware/anti spam measure than an actually DNS blocking.
- Comment on DNS server 2 weeks ago:
My 2c.
Changing “DNS” won’t fix it. There are two DNS: dnsmasq and inbound (and bind, ok). What else you use doesn’t matter (pihole, adguard, opnSense) at the end of the day it’s always them inside.
In my experience ISPs will block your direct DNS queries overtime, so it might be that. I set up my unbound as caching and forwarding, not as a pure resolver. This fixed all my issues with DNS self hosted. You can forward to 9.9.9.9 if you like it.
Another issue might be with your blocklists of course, your azure might have been temporary listed maybe.
Over time I ended up choosing a very lax blocklist setup due to this reason

Maybe Funke?
- Comment on Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit? 4 weeks ago:
I have never been banned on the fediverse. Maybe I just share my views in a way that doesn’t offend others or break the community rules?
- Comment on Is it possible to sell semi-old computers/parts? 4 weeks ago:
Ahahah looks great man…
I whish I had an old 8088/8086 with 1mb RAM a 20mb HDD (not yet IDE) and both 3.5 and 5.25 floppy drives. I still have somewhere Ultima 7 original with a full set of 5.25 big floppies… And Ultima Underworld 2, both original monkey islands with 3.5 floppies… And many more.
- Comment on Is it possible to sell semi-old computers/parts? 4 weeks ago:
I feel encient. Tht setup isn’t old at all, it is still relevant. Now, if you said an AMD Athlon or a K6-III…
I still have my old i386 somewhere.
- Comment on Just a little server 5 weeks ago:
My jellyfin works just fine with CPU. It’s an Intel core 7, not a cheap one, but the GPU is not mandatory
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 month ago:
O don’t give a shit and 100% skip useless posts clearly created using AI.
But interesting posts, I do read them even if made with AI.
- Comment on What is happening on Programming. Dev instance? 1 month ago:
I had the same issue on my single user instance after a Lemmy update last week. It fixed by itself, but it took a few hours, like the entire night.
Computational power or network bandwith was not an issue.
- Comment on Has anyone migrated from a Markdown notes app to another? 2 months ago:
Have you tried to open a joplin .MD file in a plain text editor? That is not markdown. Its markdown wrapped into some Joplin format.
Can it really be migrated 1:1 to another app?
- Comment on A simple experiment to demonstrate that Astrology does not work is to keep a detailed journal of events, and periodically check past horoscopes for accuracy.* 2 months ago:
What a waste of time.
Why should you try to dispute astrology? People who believe in it doesn’t listen to reasons anyway. And for the others, well, they don’t need a demonstration of what they already know.
Also, asastrology really works*
- in fulfilling people beliefs, wasting their time and sometimes money.
- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 2 months ago:
Set up your own server and apply your own rules.
- Comment on Advice on moving my Spotify library to Navidrome 2 months ago:
Spotizerr + navidrome + tempo
Spotizerr (fast development, sometimes breaks) will let you download you spotofy playlist. 320kbps too if you have premium. Also, deezer premium accounts are free for 1 month and let you download flac.
Navidrome replace Spotify as streaming server.
Tempo is a good android client. O also love symfonium but its not free (very worth paying for, though).
- Comment on "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no? 2 months ago:
Well, yes, I would say it’s rude if you have no reason to say no. At least hear them out is usually considered nice.
But…
If the person is clearly wanting to sell something to me, or trick me into something, or take advantage of me (typical in touristic places) I would just say “no thanks” and move on.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
So I will stick on Lemmy for the time being. After all I don’t care for down votes, I think votes in general should not be private, because this is like a public plaza what you say is public, and attaching a reputation because of down votes is dangerously bullying and a slippery slope, so piefed doesn’t actually feel like my pie at the moment.
Still maybe I will try a fresh installation just to check it out.
- Comment on Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
Interested, how do I move an instance from Lemmy to piefed?
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 2 months ago:
Not really reliable, much less than wire guard. If your connection is unstable ssh not the best option. Autossh make it better, but still after a forced disconnection ssh will take a while to drop and reconnect. Wire guard is much better. I moved from ssh+autossh to wireguard and wished I did that sooner.
- Comment on Once you are over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos… 2 months ago:
Beg your pardon… After my 40 all I want is good weather and time to go running or cycling or maybe swimming in a lake.
No way would like to spend time drinking alcohol or watching shitty TV.
YMMV.
Fully agree on the I don’t want to go out, meaning social life, too much. Except going out cycling with my sport buddies, ofc
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 2 months ago:
Wire guard to the vps with nftables port forwarding.
Check my wiki here wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=networking%3Awiregua…
Or setup ssh with port forwarding as well. Less reliable but nothing to install on a basic Linux.
- Comment on Backup for important files/pictures? 2 months ago:
Rest+backrest and the 3.2.1 rule.
One backup local on an external drive on my server Second backup on another disk connected to a WiFi ap in the house.
Third off site backup copy on my VPS.
All done by rest.
- Comment on Safest CalDAV/CardDAV server 2 months ago:
I use radicale. Safe and solid. Zero php.
You need to install a separate app if you want a web based calendar ui, or you can just use dav5x on android or any other caldav client.

Respect her and her needs. If she doesn’t want, there are good reasons for that.
She is underage, so that also counts maybe?
Maybe she is protecting you, or herself… Can you tell?
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 2 months ago:
Yes, because there is really no reason to avoid either I can understand having a preference or a dislike for props, but not really to avoid them.
Unless, of course, you clarify why.
