- Comment on how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days? 6 days ago:
after using jellyfin and emby for a long while ive gone back to basics, just local mp3s synced between devices using syncthing
something like KDE Connect might work for remote control as long as you are able to install it on both devices
- Comment on [Help] Looking for an ebook reader with highlight syncing across devices 1 week ago:
i havnt tried it but librera on android has a sync option that uses google drive
librera.mobi/faq/setting-up-synchronization/
i think it only does highlighting in pdfs though.
for other things like epubs, you can select text and then bookmark it, you can add in your own notes to the text, but they are mainly used for navigation. when you add a bookmark first, the text is visually highlighted but it goes away as soon as you scroll and i dont know if theres a setting to keep it highlighted
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
ive been eyeing up netbird but havnt got around to trying it yet. its fully open source at least, and theyre based in germany is anyone cares about that
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 3 weeks ago:
no. ive skimmed through maybe 2 things overall but thats about it. i use too many apps to be able to audit them all and i dont have the proper skills to audit code anyway, and even if i did i would still have to re-audit after every update or every few years. its just not worth the effort
youre taking a chance whether you use closed or open source software, at least with open source there is the option to look through things yourself, and with a popular project theres going to be a bigger chance of others looking through it

- Comment on With the recent happenings with Synology/Plex, I’ve decided it’s time to make the move and up my self-hosting game, just need some input from the veterans to solidify my plan and put it into action. 5 weeks ago:
if they do backtrack on this then its too late for me cos the damage is already done. ive got myself some new hardware already i wont be buying anything from them again. i wish them the best of luck though
- Comment on What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server? 5 weeks ago:
raspberry pi’s arent the best option anyway since you need to add on a hat just to get some SATA ports. i think Odroid has some boards with sata connectors. zimaboard or zimablade are some other options off the top of my head
- Comment on self hosted browser sync? 5 weeks ago:
ive been using floccus for a few years now and no complaints
i havnt tried syncing tabs but i think its an option. what i do have is a one-way sync job for the tabs in each browser so i at least have a backup of them, and each browser has its own file, but i would imagine if you tried to sync the same file between multiple devices it would just get very messy at some point
- Comment on Portugal Joins Switzerland, Austria, and Luxembourg in Outright New Dash Cam Ban as Summer Travelers May Face Hefty Fines Over Privacy Violations in Europe - Travel And Tour World 1 month ago:
i thought by now there would be small enough machine learning models that could be run on a dash cam that would blur out people’s faces. like OpenCV stuff or whatever Panoramax are using for their street-view imagery? but i dont know, maybe it would take more powerful CPUs to do this kind of thing?
- Comment on Florida bill requiring encryption backdoors for social media accounts has failed 1 month ago:
putting a “backdoor” in secure software is the equivalent of taking a safe and installing a cat flap on the back of it
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 1 month ago:
back to the good old days when “self-hosting” wasnt even a term because of course you would be hosting it yourself!
- Comment on Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model 1 month ago:
duckduckgo added the “instant answers” sidebar for the first time back in 2014 and google did the same not too long after, so its definitely not a new issue
