I stand corrected, apologies.
- Comment on Geo-distributed Jellyfin 2 days ago:
you don’t necessarily have to host another Jellyfin instance, I would find a server somewhere in the middle of your current Europe server and your Asian homies and setup a reverse proxy there.
The only hassle with this is you’re going to need a way to expose Jellyfin to it, a VPN would prevent port forwarding 443, perhaps split tunneling?

Have you considered the Xbox Adaptive Controller? I know Microsoft designed this controller with different extensions an such to assist people with disabilities.

I suspect Germany was the reason Kane and Lynch 1/2 were so heavily censored. They even got a bright orange bulletin on the Steam store page claiming that Germans were unable to play the game if they resided in Germany.
- Comment on Immich 2.5 Released With Free Up Space, Web Backups 1 week ago:
This software is more meant to be ran in a server environment, it’s suppose to be a replacement to cloud storage. I would not recommend you run this on desktop you use daily as it’ll consume resources in the background potentially slowing your desktop down.
Once you get a grasp on the BASH shell I would suggest playing around with docker and docker compose in a headless environment (headless = no desktop environment, shell only)
- Comment on YSK you can add a noAI version of DuckDuckGo to Firefox 2 weeks ago:
Searx is deprecated whereas SearXNG however, is its successor.
SearXNG is not a search engine but an aggregator, it’ll utilize whatever search engines it’s configured with to output results.

Pretty sure Bibliogram was inspired by Nitter before it became deprecated. Hope to see this flourish.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 3 weeks ago:
Installed Dolphin on my work desktop which runs Win11, definitely not meant for Windows as certain functions like searching don’t work, at least it’s 1 step close to making windows slightly more bearable.
- Comment on Anybody out there self hosting Searxing? 5 weeks ago:
Yup, it works 90% of the time. Happens on all devices so I suspect Searx is just running into an error of some sort. Too lazy to investigate.
- Comment on Anybody out there self hosting Searxing? 5 weeks ago:
I host my own SearXNG, reverse proxied it, added a few security headers and restricted access to my country to help prevent abuse.

Out of curiosity, why build your own when CopyParty exists?
- Comment on Quitting Spotify for Navidrome 2 months ago:
Finamp certainly needs some work but it’s far better than the native Jellyfin application, at least for iOS, I can now listen to music in the background.
Hell the Finamp contributors took my suggestion on a way to sort playlists and actually implemented it so I gotta say much props to them.

- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
You know every modern browser has bookmarks, and I think all of them have a bookmark toolbar, and the ability to organize bookmarks into folders…
I’m fully aware, however, I am not about to start bookmarking job’s labelled as #20000 -> 50000. Some jobs last 2+ years, like bridge projects, whereas other last a couple weeks to a month, easier to just leave tabs open for what I am focusing on within the current month.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 months ago:
I do for work because I usually have to recall information and don’t want to look it back up every time.
Pro tip: Auto-unloading the tabs (via extensions) certainly helps retain memory.
- Comment on Have clankers visited my blog one hundred twenty-one sexagintillion eight hundred ten novemquinquagintillion times so far in November?? 2 months ago:
I just geo-restrict my server to my country, certain services I’ll run an ip-blacklist and only whitelist the known few networks.
Works okay I suppose, kills the need for a WAF, haven’t had any issues with it.

you have some kind of hardware issue or corruption / incongruities in your OS deployment.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 completely dominated the spring and summer. Nobody would shut up about it. This year’s Baldur’s Gate.
First time I’ve heard of this game. Wild to see the deluxe edition cost less than the base game Itself though.

- Comment on Technitium DNS v14 is released with support for clustering 2 months ago:
This was a while ago so the details are fuzzy, I gave it Traefiks docker labels on port :5380 but that didn’t seem to work then I read an a bug report saying give Traefik :8053 so I tried that and again didn’t work so I went back to :5380 and all of a sudden it reverse proxied but my login wouldn’t work even though it worked when going to the LAN IP+Port didn’t find much in terms of troubleshooting and documentation so I eventually gave up on it.
I have had terrible experiences with recursive DNS resolvers, PiHole+Unbound worked for maybe an hour then would completely kill my internet access, the same essentially went with OpenSense, I had hope for Technitium but alas didn’t feel the need to spend hours troubleshooting something that PiHole alone did with ease.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Meanwhile Battleblock Theatre and Castle Crashers are still receiving updates 10 years later. Goes to show how far a game can go if you put a little effort into it.
- Comment on Technitium DNS v14 is released with support for clustering 2 months ago:
If only reverse proxying Technitium wasn’t a pain in the ass to do I would actually use it. Maybe one day they’ll fix the login issues until then PiHole works.
- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 2 months ago:
I mean technically I am right, they are worth at least 1 billion dollars, didn’t feel like looking up their gross/net earnings.
- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 2 months ago:
Maybe one day they’ll fix applications on the task bar not focusing when you click on them, don’t get me confused here, these are applications already open and in the background but clicking the icon on the taskbar occasionally does nothing until you manually bring it to the foreground.
So dumb.
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 2 months ago:
I would rather they have funny language in their privacy policy opposed to mandatory logging, they have to cover themselves legally as well so they got to utilize legal-ise so they aren’t sued into the dirt.
I’m sure Gmail tracks the IP of your rectum.
I bet Google predicted you would say that!
- Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy? 2 months ago:
Why is this a surprise? IP Logging is pretty normal.
**2.5 IP logging: by default, we do not keep permanent IP logs in relation with your Account. However, IP logs may be kept temporarily to combat abuse and fraud, and your IP address may be retained permanently if you are engaged in activities that breach our Terms of Service (e.g. spamming, DDoS attacks against our infrastructure, brute force attacks). The legal basis of this processing is our legitimate interest to protect our service against non-compliant or fraudulent activities. If you enable authentication logging for your Account or voluntarily participate in Proton’s advanced security program, the record of your login IP addresses is kept for as long as the feature is enabled. This feature is off by default, and all the records are deleted upon deactivation of the feature. The legal basis of this processing is consent, and you are free to opt in or opt out of that processing at any time in the security panel of your Account. The authentication logs feature records login attempts to your Account and does not track product-specific activity, such as VPN activity.

- Comment on My own copyparty instance 2 months ago:
Pro-Tip: You can reverse proxy any service on your network but if the IP of your server does not match the IP of your A record the public will not be able to access your server.
Http/s is neat that way, if the IP’s don’t match then it’s technically considered an insecure or misconfigured setup but it works great to prevent unauthorized access to one’s server.
