- Comment on Upgrading ungrounded two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong? 3 days ago:
Just general use so I’m not limited on where I can use my 3-prong appliances
- Comment on Upgrading ungrounded two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong? 3 days ago:
Thanks! I’ll grab one of the tester kits and do a little more digging to see what I’m dealing with
- Comment on Upgrading ungrounded two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong? 3 days ago:
Thank you for the info! I like DIY, and I’m reasonably handy, but I have no interest in accidentally burning my house down lol, so I’ve got no shame about hiring a professional.
Sounds like it might be at least worth it to get a pro out to take a look and provide a quote
- Comment on Upgrading ungrounded two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong? 3 days ago:
It’s a single family residential home. I’d hazard a guess that there isn’t a ground wire, but I’ll take a look.
In the event there isn’t a ground wire, it sounds like my options are 1) rewire with the ground wire included or 2) install GFI outlets (circumventing the need for a ground wire). Is that right?

- Comment on House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias 3 weeks ago:
It’s funny, because they clearly have the idea in their head that Wikipedia is a single organization capable of an ideological bias. When if you take a single look at some talk pages, it would become clear very quickly that Wikipedia is built on people vociferously disagreeing and bringing sources to make the information presented ever more credible and unbiased.

It is! I just messed up the link.
Sounds pretty neat, thanks for sharing :)

How do I short Nvidia so I can cash in on the bubble’s inevitable burst?

Yeah, I buy CDs or vinyl quite often. I’ve got a few cassette tapes kicking around too. Bandcamp is also a good option to genuinely purchase the digital files
- Comment on The people developing vegan meat alternatives must have eaten a lot of meat beforehand so they can replicate the taste and texture. 4 weeks ago:
I love the Field Roast veggie sausages. I don’t feel like they’re trying and failing to imitate meat, but rather that they’re trying to make something tasty that hits the form factor and general savoriness of meat. And they do that well, imo

Sometimes I like to purchase music, for artists that I’m a big fan of and want to financially support.

I am very happy with my recent switch from Spotify to TIDAL
- Comment on How the rise of Craigslist helped fuel America’s political polarization 5 weeks ago:
Well, for me personally, since I’m an anarchist, I’d rather have neither. Power corrupts, and giving too much unchecked power to any individual will lead to harm. Even FDR, one of America’s “best” presidents, also oversaw redlining and the Japanese internment camps.
- Comment on How the rise of Craigslist helped fuel America’s political polarization 5 weeks ago:
Ah yes, Eisenhower, famously a good guy for running fucking Operation Wetback.
- Comment on USDA announces it will discontinue funding solar projects 5 weeks ago:
Agreed, people need to jump on any remaining tax credits while they still can! Fortunately, I think the geothermal tax credit survived, but residential geothermal is also quite expensive.
- Comment on I got a VPO against me, how fucked am I? 5 weeks ago:
Is the protective order to protect you from someone, or is it meant to protect someone from you (unjustly, it would seem you’re saying)?
And I understand it’s frustrating to feel like people aren’t giving you the help you’re looking for. But I think the folks saying “I am not a lawyer, and you need a lawyer” are just trying to be responsible, because especially when it comes the law, being or having a relevant expert is important.

Yeah, I agree that the left and liberals are broadly opposed to AI, and the right dove in headfirst. I just fail to see how lacking the ability to spew shitty cat videos and deepfakes means we on the left are hampering our own progress.
- Comment on What happens when chatbots shape your reality? Concerns are growing online 1 month ago:
Falling behind in what way? Financial advantage? I’m not sure that the left have ever had that. How would adopting AI aid the left’s cause?
- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 1 month ago:
Just for my own education, if you don’t mind - how were you able to tell someone was hammering on the port if it was closed? Would fail2ban have been an option to stop them?
- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 1 month ago:
What if I want a bunch of people to be able to log into my library via Finamp?
- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 1 month ago:
Haha okay, thanks! And I’d just forward ports 80 and 443 from the router to ports 80 and 443 on the Pi’s internal IP address in the router settings, right?
- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 1 month ago:
Okay, I’ll check it out. Thanks!

I have not. What is it?
- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 1 month ago:
Thanks for the tip! I’ll back the refresh rate off to be safe.
I’m not sure I entirely understand your concern about putting Jellyfin on the internet. A large part of my interest in selfhosting is being able host my own music library, my own cloud storage, etc, and access it as an alternative to Spotify or Google Drive. Doesn’t that inherently mean that they need to be on the internet, if I want to be able to access them when I’m away from home?
My goal has been to find a way to do that safely, but if that’s not possible, that’s good to know too, so I don’t keep trying to do the impossible.
- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 1 month ago:
I’d like to be able to share it with friends and family
- Comment on Will this Jellyfin configuration expose me to security risks? 1 month ago:
Correct. I’d like to make it available to myself and any family members or friends I share it with, but not the wider world
