- Comment on Any suggestions on how to better automate subtitle fetching? (Jellyfin, Sonarr) 3 hours ago:
Really depends on what language you want the subtitles to be. Opensubtitles is the lowest common denominator
- Comment on Stripe CEO Explains Why Stablecoins Are Winning Over Global Businesses 1 week ago:
The app is not important if it’s an open standard with an open API or open p2p access, which CBDCs will not be.

Do you live in some other EU where government apps are open?
- Comment on Stripe CEO Explains Why Stablecoins Are Winning Over Global Businesses 1 week ago:
Yeah, a national bank will for sure do it in a transparent, nondiscriminatory way /s
You’ll be able to only use it using a closed app requiring google play services, safety net and with an account linked to your identity. Which means that either all your transactions are public and undeniably linked to you, or the blockchain is not transparent and open to manipulation. And they will find a way to “prevent terrorism and protect children” by blocking certain accounts.

- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 2 weeks ago:
I work in IT and pairing bluetooth is sometimes so finnicky i give up for a few days. I can accept that I’m not that great at IT but I don’t think 99% of people don’t have these problems.
And it’s not a thing you do one time, most of these gadgets need re-pairing every sone time for whatever reason.

Graphene developers seem enthusiastic to all the bullshit that Google comes up with, and on security/privacy tradeoff they seem to usually choose security. Case in point, the mandatory battery update.
CalyxOS seems to choose privacy first, but that project folded recently.

- Comment on Google is killing the open web 4 weeks ago:
Fuck google but as someone whos job it os to maintain a legacy website using xhtml/xslt, no, this is not a way forward. The concept is cool but the language itself - way too abstract and verbose compared to HTML templates.

Shit medium that inevitably ends up pulled by a faulty mechanism and destroyed. I remember patching broken tapes with adhesive tape all the time.

Germany is great in this regard, you have coin machines everywhere and the cash and privacy culture seems to be very strong.
- Comment on How difficult would it be to live in a modern-day developed country without a smartphone? 5 weeks ago:
I’m kind of living the 1) life, I have a degoogled smartphone in eternal airplane mode and only free software apps. So in practice I have none of the apps “required” to live.
In large cities, transportation is getting more and more difficult without uber. Bike/escooter rentals also stopped working without an app. I use osmand on my offline smartphone to find taxi stands, so that’s cheating by your standards, but stands are empty these days and the drivers are a bit surprised and comment that “most people order a taxi by phone these days”.
I’ve lost most of my friends when I quit facebook, when we randomly meet we still have a small chat but I don’t get invited to events (birthdays etc) any more. Big respect to the few that still don’t mind sending an sms or email (and even more respect to the 2 friends who keep an xmpp client with only me as a contact)
Increasingly, I don’t know what’s going on around me because businesses, libraries etc advertise only on “spotted” on facebook, have presence only on fb, and don’t even care about telling the local news about events or openings. I only know about that because of other people who use facebook.
- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 1 month ago:
Great software!
- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 1 month ago:
Thank you for your answer! Do you think copyparty would work together with Syncthing on the same backing directory, or would they compete for changes etc? Copyparty in this scenario would be for sharing content with friends and occasional remote upload
- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 1 month ago:
I have a question, and I want to emphasise thar this is not criticism but a request for dive into technicalities.
In the video you mentioned copyparty has an one-way sync tool. Is there a good reason why it’s not two-way, or is this just something you weren’t motivated to do?
- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 1 month ago:
Nextcloud is like Windows 95, it works great when you install it then it just keeps getting slower as you fill it with content
- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 1 month ago:
I think Copyparty would be great for that purpose. The only thing you’re missing is a way to expose it to the internet, such as a public IP or some tunnel
- Comment on Growing recognition of post-acute infection syndromes 1 month ago:
If you’re reading this and it feels like you, and you got no recognition from your doctors: there are online communities where people share experiences and research medications.
Sample size of 1, I stil get bad weeks or months, but the supplements I’ve found there allowed me to gave good months again. At times, I’m even the old me!
- Comment on Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks 1 month ago:
Yup. Most of the time yes. Parts to repair toys were useful, though. Especially one time when the part that broke was a plastic horse (part of a bigger toy) and there’s no way I could make one without the printer, or buy in the scale I needed.
Toys that worked for my kid:
- kazoo, it’s a shitty instrument but pretty fun
- logic puzzles, not a favourite toy but used once in a while
- Comment on People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis" 1 month ago:
I know a guy who has all kinds of theories about sentient life in the universe, but noone to talk to about them. It’s because they’re pretty obvious to anyone who took a philosophy class, and too out there for people who are not interestes in such discussions. I tried to be a conversation partner for him but it always ends up with awkward silence on my part and a monologue on his side at some point.
So, he finally found a sentient being who always knows what to answer in the form of ChatGPT and now they develop his ideas together. I don’t think it’s bad for him overall, but the last report I got from his conversations with the superbeing was that it told him to write a book about it because he’s full of innovative ideas. I hope he lacks persistence to actually write one.

I think you pointed Cloudflare DNS records at the wrong thing. You can PM me if you’re afraid to post details here but you should point Cloudflare at your hosting provider, or your home IP if you’re hosting at home, not the place where you bought the domain.
