- Comment on Authentik vs Authelia? 1 week ago:
I use authentik and like it. The learning curve isn’t that steep so not a lot of wasted investment if you decide to ditch it for something else. No password flow with webauthn is pretty cool.
- Comment on ‘Lied to their workers’: CBA’s ‘shameful act’ while sacking staff [Deceptive offshoring of hundreds of tech roles] 1 week ago:
Yuck. What a dog act but a slimy company. Glad I took my banking elsewhere.
- Comment on Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner? 3 weeks ago:
IMO, you want ram more than you want processing power. Most of the time your containers will sit dormant and just consume memory. However since you want to run Jellyfin, get a recent CPU which can do hardware decoding of popular codecs. There’s charts online that show what generation can handle what codecs. Ideally you don’t want that done by software. You should still be able to find something cheap.
In terms of placement. It depends a lot on noise IMO. If you’re running something small without magnetic storage, your probably fine to stick it anywhere. If you have several data-centre grade hard drives, you will probably want to keep it somewhere where you wont hear it all day.
In terms of upgrading, I’m not sure if its as much of a concern as you might think. I run probably about 30 docker containers off a NUC clone and a seperate NAS. I can always add more drives to the NAS, but otherwise its fine. Also, many of my services scale to zero with sablier+traefik, and I schedule filesharing for low bandwidth times. This makes things pretty manageable
- Comment on Australian doctors call for clampdown on social media influencers allegedly glamorising poker machines 3 weeks ago:
Influencers are pests and an insidious blight on humanity, but this feels like a new low for them.
- Comment on Australia's Federal Court clarifies: Anti-Zionism and criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic 3 weeks ago:
www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-01/…/105480506 is mentioned here, but it the framing is a bit different and the ruling a little more detailed. (Probably a better source out there but I’m also on my phone)
- Comment on NSW to ban people from appealing if working with children check denied 3 weeks ago:
I assume a working with children check wouldn’t have a high standard of evidence and a candidate probably doesn’t need a conviction to fail the test. E.g., it would be enough for a previous employer to say “Oh yeah we couldn’t prove it but we had some serious complaints that he was fiddling kids”. If that is the case, I really don’t feel comfortable with this direction. If its more of a case where theres some established quantifiable criteria that would never reasonably pass appeal, the sure… but I don’t get what this solves except to save resources.
It strikes me as a opportunistic politics to appeal to the emotion of voters–which is just tacky.
- Comment on Could this be the death of Australia's nightmarish welfare system? 1 month ago:
100%. There’s so many people who want to “touch” the project so they can get some credit for it, making things take easily four times as long as it should and in the end you have an unmanageable, noncompliant mess.
- Comment on Is it wrong or uncommon to judge people primarily on their worst moments/acts? 1 month ago:
When asked how he could admire an airforce general despite being a pacifist, MLK jr responded "I judge people by their own principles – not by my own.” Judge that redditor by the principle of someone whose career is helping children but instead exploits them.
I agree it doesn’t matter how many children he’s helped. I’ve heard from my Hindu friends that good deeds won’t naturalise bad Karma. Im not religious and don’t believe in karma, but I think this is well grounded. It doesn’t matter how many children he has helped, it doesn’t change the fact that he has damaged so many others for sexual gratification.
The guys a vile worm, and think you’re right to judge him.
