- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 3 weeks ago:
My next tv is probably going to be a dumb tv. You can search for commercial business tvs online and find dumb tvs for displays and digital signage. Same screen, just no smarts, plays a network stream, off a usb, or hdmi input. Nothing else.

I want to see a seamless roaming standard so a grandma can buy a random brand’s wifi extender, plug it in, connect it to her ISP router’s wifi and have the same ssid through the house. No needing to jump to NANA-SWIFI-EXT.

I would happily dedicate a corner of my garage for a big sodium ion battery.
Also, fun fact they can charge and discharge faster than lithium ion. Also, their chemistry doesn’t lead to spontaneous combustion. Perfect for a house backup.

From what I’ve read if you use a VPN it’s pretty simple to get past the great firewall of china. It’s also only technically illegal, and not really punished.
- Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes? 5 weeks ago:
Yea, sorry. “No sex outside of marriage” was a phrase I’d heard a lot growing up inside Christianity. I was making a joke that this particular phrase could be interpreted either way. As in no unmarried sex. Or no sex with people you’re not married to.

- Comment on 6G mobile could divide the world 5 weeks ago:
Tldr: different countries wanna do 6g differently. Actually a big problem is the big beautiful bill that just passed in the US. Wifi6e/7 6ghz spectrum that was reserved for wifi got approved to get auctioned off. But it’s already a global standard. If us cell cariers buy it up and use it to make faster 6g cell speeds (short distance very high speed). That’s going to fragment standards globally.
Cell carriers don’t currently use anywhere near all their spectrum they already own.

I haven’t seen anyone in the comments try to justify your actions from a chrisitian point of view. I’ll try and likely fail. I’m a former chrisian.
There is no “thou shalt not lust after a woman” commandment. There is a “thou shalt not commit adultary” commandment. And there is the admonition from Mathew that if you lust after a woman you’ve already committed adultary in your heart.
But here’s the rub. How do you define adultary? ANY sex? Or cheating on a spouse? If you define it as cheating on a spouse, then I can see where Mathew is coming from. A married man lusting after a woman who isn’t his wife HAS emotionally cheated on her already. But by that definition, a single man CAN’T commit adultary with a single woman. There’s no cheating. Prostitute or not, two single consenting adults don’t break that commandment.
I believe extremists like to push the commandments to encompass more than they really do.
- Comment on Best plex/jellyfin compatible streaming box 1 month ago:
I have had several firetvs which I really can’t recommend anymore. I don’t mind roku with jellyfin client and an adblocker like pihole except the garbage “daily trivia” options that pop up on the sidebar that you have to hide once a week is annoying. Currently use an Nvidia shield with a custom launcher isn’t a terrible experience, except for the fact that I have to reboot it all the time because it’s glitchy as shit and it was overpriced.
I’m tempted to next try the NUC with that fancy KDE big picture mode I saw get a facelift recently.

- Comment on What else should I self-host? 1 month ago:
Home Assistant? Maybe a homepage like Heimdall or some other dashboard? Maybe Uptime Kuma to notify you when your services go down? Definately a pihole or adguard home. Biggest quality of life improvement. It’s the biggest thing my wife notices and approves of. She audibly groans in disgust when she leaves the LAN on her cellphone and sees all the ads and garbage that had previously been blocked. My pihole dashboard show 70% of the requests are blocked on my LAN. And everything works great.
- Comment on Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner? 1 month ago:
Yes you can cluster devices. I have a NAS in addition to the my laptop proxmox cluster. It lets me use the NAS as storage, so the VMs/lxc’s virtual disks are actually on the NAS. This allows me to make the VM/LXCs Highly Available. So if one laptop crashes it’ll automatically spin up the things running on that laptop on a different one. This can also be done with ceph, but I already had the NAS, so ceph seemed redundant.
- Comment on Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner? 1 month ago:
Either or both will likely work just fine depending on how broken the acreen is. The virusy windows would be easiest (sometimes macbooks are harder to get everything working due to drivers, windows ones typically just work). But the virus will be removed when you install proxmox. I currently have 3 laptops in various degrees of old and broken being used as a proxmox cluster.
- Comment on Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner? 1 month ago:
Do you have any old hardware lying around? Old gaming pc, or an old laptop? Doesn’t matter if it has a broken screen or keyboard or trackpad or can’t upgrade to win11. Maybe ask around if someone you knows has something similar.
I’d start with that. Then save the money for an upgrade to the old hardware like adding some extra RAM and a big refurbed hdds.

Done this with massive log files. Used perl and regex. That’s basically what the language was built for.
But with CSVs? I’d throw them in a db with an index.
- Comment on [Opinion] Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up 2 months ago:
Eh, kinda pointless article rant. OK, Firefox is dead to you due to some recent bad decisions they’ve made. I don’t disagree.
But that’s it, end of opinion. Chrome is way worse. Grabbing a firefox fork doesn’t fix all your complaints. Might fix their T&C issue, but not the dropping of features.
Chromium? Puh-leeze. You’re trusting google to behave in an un-google fashion. It’s still going to phone home and upload all your data. Downstream fork that claims privacy and security? I have doubts.
At this point it’s all a browser garbage fire. Just because one is getting more rancid doesn’t make the alternatives any more appealing.
- Comment on FreshRSS weirdness 2 months ago:
Cool, did you install freshrss as a docker container, or as a package? I’ve also had issues with it not setting up crons and running them properly before too. Running the docker container helps, usually.
- Comment on FreshRSS weirdness 2 months ago:
Depends, take a look at the rest of your settings in the Archiving page.
You might have set “Never delete Unread Articles”.
Also, that purge job is on a cron. I’m not sure how often it’ll run. Could be once a week or even month. Thousands of rss articles and links are only a few megabytes big. But you can push the “purge now” button at the bottom of the archiving page to check your settings.

- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 2 months ago:
Having gone through the approval process at a large company to add an open source project to it’s whitelist, it was surprisingly easy. They mostly wanted to know numbers. How long has it been around, when was the last update, number of downloads, what does it do, etc. They mostly just wanted to make sure it was still being maintained.
In their eyes, they also don’t audit closed source software. There might also have been an antivirus scan run against the code, but that seemed more like a checkbox than something that would actually help.
- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 2 months ago:
DACs are great, agreed. However try telling that to the guy next door. The reason ethernet got to be so popular was because of how familiar it was and similar it us to telephone wire. There were several other competing standards befofe ethernet won.
10GbE cards and switches help regular folk upgrade without needing to learn about DACs.

Right?! Most affordable 10G switches are SFP+ which requires a lot more research to make sure you get the right modules and cabling.
- Comment on Descentralized AI book reading server 3 months ago:
Not quite what you’re asking for, but you can self-host ollama. And based on some recent lawsuits against meta, I’m pretty sure all companies are using as many books as they can get their hands on to train their models. And so their training set contains the books you have in Calibre and more.
Try asking llama3.3 or whichever model you choose your questions.

Huh, maybe my TrueNAS experience is a little dated. Last I used it, everything was k8s and bo docker-compose at all.

Some advice, TrueNAS isn’t very newbie friendly. Between permissions and their wonky kubernettes setup that no containers actually leverage, it’s not great. It is free, but expect bumps in the road. Unraid and OpenMediaVault are much easier to use. I switched to Unraid, and it’s been amazing, I highly recommend it. It’s nice that you can install random sized drives, they don’t need to match. You can toss in a few ssds for cache, and the docker containers are super easy to setup and maintain. Jellyfin works just fine for instance. OMV has some great offerings too, but lack the docker/VM hosting side. It’s a NAS and nothing else. It’s expected to have proxmox or something hosted elsewhere that uses OMV as storage.
#2 opinion, build your own NAS. Especially if you’ve already built your own Gaming PC, it’s pretty straight forward. Pick a low powered cpu, toss in some ram, a ton of hdds, and maybe some old graphics card you have lying around for transcoding or hosting local AI for kicks. You’ll get a lot more for your money this way.
