- Comment on Best vertical games on Android? 1 week ago:
Try this FREE mystery horror puzzle text game where you are doing detective work… of sorts?
I got so hooked and absolutely loved it all the way.
Don’t be fooled by the cover graphic or name.
- Comment on Rustdesk's lesser known features 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the additional digging.
Is it totally open source? Because I am not suited to verify this - I can only see that at some point it was not open source while claiming to be, and relied on binary blobs. Their server side code? Cannot know what is in there (of course). Running your own server? Cannot really vet the code either, so until it becomes still more popular I cannot trust it yet.
I mean, it is probably fine, I hope it is.
They have scrubbed Zhou from the company info page. They were listed as founder before among the two other people (who may or may not be real - this is another question mark I saw). This scrubbing could, of course be non nefarious. But I think this could have and should have been communicated better.
But instead they seem to shut down discussion: github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/1159#dis…
None of this has to mean anything much but I personally will continue with paid options still for now and keep hoping rd would turn out alright!

None of this means much else than that I will not use it myself, at least yet. I don’t trust it
- Comment on Rustdesk's lesser known features 2 weeks ago:
One example of criticism
- Comment on Rustdesk's lesser known features 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t need to be, I just won’t go near it if they communicate like this and do stuff like change their users’ systems without prompting. You can do a search for rustdesk controversy and have a look yourself. Just looking at how they hide the company’s chinese origins and their communication style when they are asked for clarification… That’s enough for me. Everyone should be paranoid when installing apps, and this is for remote control, no less.
- Comment on Rustdesk's lesser known features 2 weeks ago:
It seems they were trying to hide the app being Chinese, added a trusted certificate on your machine wkthout prompting, complaints about not really being open source, etc. It doesn’t look very good to me at this point.
Search around a bit and you will find these issues being raised by people, at the same time the answers fron the team seem very dismissive and amount to please no politics here.
Check the wikipedia page edits as well, weird stuff. I don’t like weird stuff when choosing a remote control software.
Rather paying Anydesk than using this. At this point at least.
- Comment on Rustdesk's lesser known features 2 weeks ago:
I would not touch it, seems very sketchy, and with this sort of program you need total trust

X is not a good look, it is ******* cringe to see governmental entities still using it around the world.

Use duplicati, or if you want command line, use borg.
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 1 month ago:
Thank you for all the explanations! So I just need a second domain and apache will redirect 443 from that domain to 7777. The docker part I understood but having two apps on 443 on different domains but one machine is what was new to me.
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 1 month ago:
Thanks, this is good to know!
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 1 month ago:
Thanks, I did not know about this one!
But, I am turning towards nextcloud, as it would allow me to sync some shared folders of images and documents between computers easily(?).
The android app would be great as well, to sync some files easier, I understand nextcloud does that.
But this is a great alternative, I will surely check it out before making my final decision.
Now still have to do some physical upgrades, a fan and an ssd need replacing.
Thanks to everyone for their input!
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 1 month ago:
Thank you and everyone else! Now I need to get a domain that allows subdomains
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 1 month ago:
I understood from here it shouldnt work
github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one?tab=readme-ov-fil…
Maybe you use another flavor and not the aio?
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 1 month ago:
According to this it is not supported?
github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one?tab=readme-ov-fil…
However, I should learn how to do subdomains and the reverse proxy then… Which is another question.
I have until now a free domain which is somethig like mysubdomain.ddns.net. So I presume I need to get a paid domain for this so I can do subdomains
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 1 month ago:
I understood NC needs ports 80 and 443, at least from the nextcloud aio installation doc
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 1 month ago:
I had understood it has to be 443 and 80 for it to work, but this was wrong I guess. Maybe it was only a limitation of Nextcloud AIO which I would have used otherwise…?

- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 2 months ago:
Try it out. You can try element and jitsi its free. Just test some matrix server.
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 2 months ago:
A browser. Element web client and jitsi client are included as browser clients. They could install element if they want a client software that automatically starts etc.
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 2 months ago:
Kubernetes is too much. You could set up a matrix server for chat with jitsi for video meetings. Use element as client. Then add your game server(s).
For matrix/jitsi server setup use this playbook github.com/…/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
It installs all you need for video, audio, and text chat.
Maybe change the config to be unfederated if you want a private server.
100% uptime is really not feasible so forget that. Even the commercial servers have downtimes.

It has caffeine though, and a mix of other compounds that have a similar effect as an energy drink, so it would not help with sleeping.

Yes! Thank you! But I find it so rare on the internet that “effects” must be a typo like 99% of the time (pulled it out my ass but yeah)

Language police sirens. Something can affect something else, or can have an effect on something. Otherwise, perfect comment!
