- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 2 days ago:
Me and you (hopefully) both understand that that is not a human mistake rather than mega corpos profit-hungry strategies to hook people up on sugary drinks. Instead of limiting peoples choices, we should strafe to punish companies for their aggressive strategies towards customers. As simple as regulate how much actual sugar goes in a drink. People will complain and hopefully drink less if it is less sweet. The ones who would keep drinking would ingest less sugar. Win-win for humanity, lose-win for corpos. This new rule looks like is fighting the cause in a backwards direction.
- Comment on Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK 2 days ago:
I am failing to understand how come a choice of a person or bad parenting should be enforced. Like if a person wants to drink more of sugary drinks he likes, it is purely up to him, right? Or parents letting their children drink as much as they want. That shit is purely on a customer. Why would anyone regulate that? Focus on other things like littering, public smoking and drinking, drug selling. This hast to be one of the least important things to regulate.
- Comment on Does anyone know? 2 days ago:
No fucking clue while being early 30s. When I was much younger, I thought my parents and adults around me knew much about the world. At my 30s I know one thing - world is fucked up and nothing can be in one’s control. All we have is to try to react properly to the world around us. Other than that, no idea what is happening and doubt anyone ever had an idea.

It also prevents cables from coiling up. Cable that has coil form is the most fucking annoying thing to work with.

Massive adoption of smart watches helps this quite a lot. 2 devices ringing or vibrating is quite annoying. People set silent on phone and feel messages on watches.

MiniPC runs Mint. I will check firejail. Thank you!
- Comment on Need help with VPN 1 week ago:
I am thinking to do this but only one thing bothers me. I want only qBittorrent to be using VPN, not the rest of the machine. Is there a way to set only qBittorrent with Tailscale?
- Comment on Need help with VPN 1 week ago:
I will look into WireGuard! Thank you!
- Comment on Need help with VPN 1 week ago:
I have to pay for a VPN service. If I can skip paying by hosting it myself, I’d go the distance. It has been fun selfhosting services so far. I want to go deeper.

I had same issue gut relog helped to fix it
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 1 week ago:
Running minipc with immich pointed to NAS drive with photos. I had issues with uploading files in the background on previous version but it seems to be fixed right now.
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 1 week ago:
I had issues uploading big files to it due to it stopping uploading once app is minimized. As long as app is open on screen, it would upload files with no interruption. New version seems to fix this issue for me.
- Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened 2 weeks ago:
Are these “we all” people you talking about are in the same room with us right now? I don’t really think that would apply to all of us.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 2 weeks ago:

Yes. Kind of. It is in EU but afaik piracy is not an illegal thing there yet or is not enforced as much compared to where I live now.

Too late. NPMplus is up and running. Also, I like dark mode.

- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 2 weeks ago:
I’m a newbie to the whole selfhosting thing. Been doing NAS+minipc for past 6 months with a few services running. 2 days ago I embarresed myself.
So, I been running 5 services on nginx proxy manager. But I heard that NPMplus is slightly better and can renew certs automatically. I had transferred settings from NPM to NPMplus by hand off the photo and for some reason NPMplus couldn’t work with services ran on NAS. I went back to NPM and haven’t touched the issue til last Sunday.
During troubleshooting I found out that my dumb ass didnt pay attention and put ‘’:‘’ instead of ‘’." . So 192.168.xxx.xx became 192:168:xxx:xx and that was the reason I spent whole day troubleshooting the issue.
Next goal: go back to my homeland and set Pi3 at my parent’s place to be my VPN so I can setup an arr stack and automate media downloads in a way that govt. of my current residence couldn’t put a deep hole in my wallet.

If one lives in an area with tons of LoRa enthusiasts, this might work exceptionally perfect.
- Comment on TikTok Shop Sells Viral GPS Trackers Marketed to Stalkers 1 month ago:
I have just realized that in of 2020 TikTok was about to get banned in US by Trump administration and he even signed an executive order for the ban. But since he lost elections later that year, ban was reversed by Biden administration.
THE FUCKING SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED IN REVERSE IN 2025 when Biden’s admin ordered it to be banned in january and it was unbanned (postponed ban) 3 times with the last one lasting until September.
I call extreme sus on this one. There are weird powers around tiktok that are/were important in info-war and elections in general.

Exactly. Once we are a mainstream page to visit, it will go down as fast as any other page like this before.
- Comment on Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed 1 month ago:
I beg to disagree.
The reason all these delusional posts getting even upvoted to begin with is due to many like-minded people are gathered together in the same sub. As an example, reddit’s r/democrats and r/republicans. One is clearly more sane than another, yet try to say something in a wrong sub - get downvoted to oblivion. But if you spill your delusional shit in a r/republicans - upvotes galore and comments of praise.
Facebook groups are the same shit. And so is Lemmy. One thing in hexbear that is allowed could/will be the reason you got a ban in .world. Up/Downvotes cant fix that.
tl;dr Village idiots can join together to accumulate their own conspiracies in a big ass circlejerk, and social media has no power to stop it.
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 1 month ago:
I got a question in my head just now.
DNS sinkhole doesnt help with youtube ads but UBO does. DNS doesn’t help with twitch ads and neither UBO does. Why is that youtube doesn’t do the same what twitch does?
On a side note, my ads on twitch are basically “ad is in progress” screen and not an actual ad. And lately YT has couple of seconds with no video in the beginning as if it loads (1Gbit connection) but eventually loads up and plays with no interruptions after.
- Comment on Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed 1 month ago:
The amount of comments thinking that Lemmy is totally not like a typical social media is absurd.
Guys, we only don’t have major tracking of users here.That’s it! Everything else is the fucking same shit you’d see on facebook. The moment Lemmy gets couple tens of millions of users, we gonna become 2nd facebook.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 1 month ago:
We once had played this game with friends where you get a word stuck on your forehead and you have to guess what are you.
One guy got C4 (as in explosive) to guess and he failed. I remember that we had to agree with each other whether C4 is or is not a weapon. Main idea was that explosives are comparatively rarely used in actual killing opposed to other things like mining and such. Parallel idea was that is Knife a weapon?
But ultimately we agreed that C4 is not a weapon. It was invented not primarily to to kill or injure. Opposed to guns, that are only for killing or injuring.
Take guns away, people will kill with literally anything else. But give an easy access to guns, people will kill with them. Gun is not a tool, it is a weapon by design.
- Comment on Iron 2 months ago:
Pretty sure that as of recent years, meth is often mixed with fentanyl without being disclosed to a user or probably even a dealer.
But it also funny to see how people say that this should be done yet they somehow forget that (allegedly) it is not government that sells drugs but drug cartels that do. I bet they wouldn’t mix birth control into drugs at all. Why would they? That in best case for them does nothing for a higher price of production, and in worst case it will deter customers. Shit’s never going to happen.
