No, that’s Windows 11 - older version than 2000. The good one was 1736.

Oh yes. The GIF with sound.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 1 week ago:
I usually commute in in-ears. Sometimes I just want to listen to the world. Its noise, sounds, people talking in train/tram/bus.
I have also noticed that listening to something leaves me out of my own mind. When I used to walk from school to home alone without music, I would think about things in my life much more. So, sometimes I leave my phones in a pocket to focus on my mental.

Looks like it will feed a horde of pigeons after my desperate attempt to eat this hotdog without dropping anything on the ground.

That is assuming that someone will sit there and try to decrypt password rules for that specific person. Chances of that happening are basically 0, unless they are some sort of a high interest person.

No. It is a HDD model of a brandSeagate that is designed to be used in NAS and such.

Just got 12TB IronWolf last week for an average price if 260euro. Delivery is long but other than that, price is average.
Checked just right now - average 310euro for the same HDD. From the place I picked mine - 293. SCORE!
Thinking about this for a minute - that’s probably pre-Black-Friday prices. We’ll see

We already have charge-only USB cables. Near future will be video-signal-only HDMI cables. What a world to live in.

Ok, thanks! Now I can sleep stress-less
- Comment on How does ISP or in general Torrenting tracking works? 2 weeks ago:
SOCKS5 proxy runs through VPN. Actual IP on the peer list would be one from another country.Torrent file is fetched through Arr with a local IP. Can ISP prove that I have actually downloaded anything?

- Comment on YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port. 2 weeks ago:
My last phone had this issue that sometimes it wouldn’t charge. Tried different cables but it still sometimes wouldn’t charge. Bought a pcb with antennas and charging for my phone, replaced it. Sometimes still had this issue but much less. I kept this phone til it couldn’t compute anymore. Twice shattered screen, twice replaced.
4 years. Not a flagship, but had a decent hardware. In the end it couldn’t do anything. Wifi worked half assed. 5g couldn’t connect sometimes. Android Auto would reboot constantly or outright not work. Battery would occasionally begin to loose charge rapidly and even charging with a power bank phone would still lose charge. It almost like I got an update that cut my phone’s balls and removed organs. But in the end, 400euro for 4 years - not so much. My new phone is better at less than half price. Hope it’ll work next 2-3 years no issues.
- Comment on Over the past ~20 years, Google became the de facto entry point for learning new skills and information. Google also sucks now. This is a really big problem. 2 weeks ago:
I see your point. It’s just for me worked couple of times well.
Example: I have hardware Steam Link hooked up to my TV. It had this issue where screen would freeze but game/audio would continue on, but menu would work half a time if not in game. I tried to look up the issue and found no lead. Adding “reddit” didnt help either. Only vague discussions, and dead-end leads.
ChatGPT prompt gave me couple of options where the 2nd option was to disable hardware encoding which fixed my issue.
I went to google same issue right now and still google results on 1st page have nothing about hardware encoding which was an actual fix. 1st link is to reddit where people say hardware encoding didn’t help so I disregarded this fix. Others claim that downgrading gpu drivers solve this issue. It didn’t.
I’d rather google. But lately quality of results are incredibly low.

I do not find LLMs much great right now. But there been a few instances where googling or searching would yield me no useful results but somehow ChatGPT had a suggestions for problems that I want to solve and it delivered me solutions that actually did work.
Also, there has been couple of times where I had no idea where to start when researching topics of my interests. When trying to post on reddit with a question, these usually come off sort of gate-keeping-like or tried to steer me into direction I didn’t want to go. ChatGPT, on the other hand, gave out options. And, since recently, (dunno, in 2021-2022 it wasn’t doing so) also gave sources too.
In any case, searching in google without adding “reddit” to a promt 99% of the time gives bullshit options with shit ass quora usually at the top. Who dafuq uses quora? Never found a single useful post there.

Quite obvious even before I’ve read favoredponcho’s comment. Just scraping web to deliver context matching results brings no money. Ads bring money. Case solved

He is tech-illiterate and knows jack shit. And ass whooping is very common in our culture unfortunately. Luckily, it sped up my computer learning.
- Comment on A hypothesis 2 weeks ago:
At 7yo my family got our first home computer. I had no idea how to use it properly, so I was constantly bricking OS on it which lead my father to constantly call in his friend to fix our computer. I bet constant ass whooping made me quickly learn how to undo my own mess. At 10yo I could reinstall win98 though floppy with NC
- Comment on Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?s 2 weeks ago:
Small pro tip: if you going to use Nginx Proxy Manager - it has SSL cert generator built in that also auto-renews certs before they expire. Many people say that for security reasons, open only 443 port and close 80. But that will raise an issue where certs wont generate if port 80 is closed. Not sure if it works the same way with other reverse proxy managers. but it 100% does with NPM.

My milestones this week.
Proxy Pi
It may be that I am dumb and couldnt setup wireguard on my pi3b+ and Beelink S12 pro. So I opted in with Tailscale and setup Dante socks5 proxy to use with my qBit. It works, and torrents won’t use S12s local IP when pi3b+ is offline. Exactly what I want! I’ll install pi3b+ in my homeland where torrenting is not punished yet and will sail the high seas.
The Arrs
I have finally managed to successfully setup Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr to work with Jellyseerr. Will later add Bazarr to the stack. Took me a while to figure out how to set priorities to the language preferences but it works now as it seems. Next step: try to somehow get into German private trackers. It is where I live now so I need media with German audio to speed up learning German.
Immich
Somehow I had issue with Immich where my context search would fail to work. Took me half a day to find out that the problem was in the naming of machine learning docker. I swear I havent changed anything but somehow Immich had ML on immich-machine-learning:3003 and it worked well before up until move to 2.0 stable. Appearently, my container is called immich_machine_learning and that was the issue. Renaming ML link in settings to http://immich_machine_learning:3003 fixed the issue. Why was it changed? Mistery.
I am pretty happy with my setup so far.
- Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I 2 weeks ago:
As a newbie in selfhosting, Immich is what I use almost every day. And it is so good. A literal Google Photos but it’s my own. Snappy web app and android app. Has epic face recognition, contextual search and now even text recognition. All that on an efficient and not so powerful N100 cpu. I can totally see why community loves it.
- Comment on opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included 2 weeks ago:
Mine runs on some rockchip and 2gb ram h side drivestor gen2 Nas. Sluggish, but works with no troubles so far. Or is indeed not a hardware hungry I stance if you use it for you yourself and maybe a few family members

- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 weeks ago:
I have 65" 4K TV that runs in tandem with Beelink S12 pro mini-pc. I ran mini in FHD mode to ease up on resources and usually just watch streams/online content on it which is 99% 1080p@60. Unless compression is bad, I don’t feel much difference. In fact, my digitalized DVDs look good even in their native resolution.
For me 4K is a nice-to-have but not a necessity when consuming media. 1080p still looks crisp with enough bitrate.
I’d add that maybe this 4K-8K race is sort of like mp3@320kbps vs flac/wav. Both sound good when played on a decent system. But say, flac is nicer on a specific hardware that a typical consumer wouldn’t buy. Almost none of us own studio-grade 7.1 sytems at home. JBL speaker is what we have and I doubt flac sounds noticeably better on it against mp3@192kbps.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 3 weeks ago:
The only ones that wouldn’t work are probably the ones with kernel level anti cheat. Maybe if I would be much younger, I might have had different opinion, but, as of today, I believe that all these games that wont run on Linux due to anti-cheat are cancer anyway.
- Comment on Mini pc for home server? 3 weeks ago:
Almost a year of S12 mini as services/HTPC. Cant be happier!
- Comment on Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House 3 weeks ago:
Am I too dumb to understand why sending cartographer data is wrong?
His model is iLife A11 that has Lidar. He probably has an app that is used to control robot and shows cleaning progression. Vac 100% Lidar’d his entire home and sent data to create map in the app.
How in the fuck he thinks it is getting that map? If his ass so smart to find a killswitch and reverse it, how come he doesn’t grasp that map data is sent to a server though which he ca use vac app? Like in what world is it not obvious?
Not even gonna discuss about TOS he signed, or that it is general cheap brand cheap but super smart model for it’s price.
Unless some FOSS firmware and software is installed, that thing most certainly will ping back home every chance it gets.
Sidenote: My TV now is offline cause when it kept calling home (ove 60% of my pi-holes querries of all time was TV), it would freeze due to pi-hole block. Once set offline - issue is gone. I also know my robo vac is pinging, but at the same time if I block it, I’ll lose app controls which I wont do. Sadly, my vac doesn’t support Valetudo.

Good catch. My IP is dynamic. I’ll look into it, thanks!
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 4 weeks ago:
I have noticed that Microsoft and google are trying to scan my domain for /php-myadmin and similar links that I thankfully do not have.
I had already fail2ban running but it failed to ban a single IP. I did setup custom filters that would ban admin panel scanning attempts but somehow now it also bans my home IP and my phone 5G ip sometimes. No idea how to fix it so far. Also, this filter/jail doesnt necessarily jail everyone attempting to reach these links, just sometimes it does.
