Nice! Will be adding that to the list

- Comment on Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time? 2 days ago:
I did mention that non-American news are similar, but the American ones in particular are very on the nose when it comes to this.

- Comment on Rename the "shutdown" shortcut to "power off" in KDE Plasma? 5 days ago:
Not that, when searching with the “application menu”. Or is KRunner running when that is open? I’m pretty sure its different since KRunner (when opened with keyboard shortcut) shows extra things compared to the application menu search bar. Dang, you can’t edit that easily?
- Comment on If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it? 5 days ago:
I remember reading something somewhere that the gravitational lensing of dark matter (where light bends around and you can see behind) was evidence for dark matter being a thing that exists. Dark matter could really be anything though (ones I have heard about include WIMPs, primordial black holes, and supersymmetric particles like gravitinos), and we simply don’t have enough experimental data to know what it is. We know it exists as we see its gravitational effects in galaxies and such, but that’s about it.

No, don’t think you can. You can upload a link to a video hosting site though (a file hosting thing would also work)

- Comment on Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes? 5 days ago:
So it’s like when a camera doesn’t have enough light to properly take a photo, producing a lot of grain. Like when you have a high ISO when taking a photo/video in a dark room, it looks very grainy. I guess the eye is still adjusting its “exposure” if you see some of this graininess in the dark (or when you close your eyes?)
- Comment on What's a realistic, low-power home server setup in 2025 for Plex/Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and reliable backups? 1 week ago:
Personally, I’m just using an old laptop (think it’s 11th gen Intel i5) as a home server. A mini PC seems like a good option if you don’t have an old laptop though.
I also have an older laptop with a 6th gen Intel core i3 and a dead battery that I have to put to good use at some point, but haven’t bothered to do so yet. What should I use it for?
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 1 week ago:
if not humming, then listening to music in your mind!
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 1 week ago:
thinking about stuff (what to eat later, what to do later, etc), chatting with a friend/family member, looking around to see what’s happening (construction, birds doing bird things, plants changing shape/size/color, etc), reading, or humming to a song you know (you don’t need your phone to enjoy music!)
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 1 week ago:
being angry on the internet is one thing, you have to give evidence to support your argument
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 1 week ago:
like the chess piece with eight on each side. The one that can be promoted to any other non-king piece once it gets to the other side. pwned is getting your data leaked, being “pawned” means getting taken advantage of/being puppeted by a higher power, and I always linked that to being scammed through a phishing attack (and usually your data has been leaked, you have been pwned)
- Comment on Are platforms like reddit just "internet noise" and bots or just genuinely the darkest parts of humanity? 1 week ago:
No way, beep bop, there aren’t any bots on the internet! Beep-doop-bop
There are a lot of not very nice things on the internet, the meat bags are mean sad beep bop

- Comment on Yunohost, CasaOS, or Cosmos? 2 weeks ago:
When I got into self-hosting, I was recommended Yunohost. I’m sure it’s great, but I couldn’t get it to boot, so I ended up using Debian. (which is what Yubohost is running under the hood I believe)
I remember someone telling me that CasaOS is very simple and could also be a good option, but I have no experience with trying to install it or using it.
Most of the self-hosting tutorials I found used either Debian or Ubuntu (a derivative of Debian), so using Debian or one of its derivatives could make it easier to figure out how to set up everything.
- Comment on Not sure where to ask this but why do some wall powered usb-c hubs refuse the charge anything until they are plugged into a computer? 2 weeks ago:
Apple, Samsung, all the Chinese phone brands with their proprietary fast charging standards, HP, Bambu Lab, Nintendo, Xbox, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, etc. etc.
There’s a lot of terrible companies, actually.

- Comment on How did we go from being against fake pictures of the moon to accepting things like changing out the entire sky? 3 weeks ago:
several can mean 2-5 years, right? Or are you one of those people who insist on a distinction between couple, few, many, and several?

driving bleach? I assume you mean drinking (which for obvious reasons is not a good idea). Also, what the heck is a horse de-wormer?
- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 3 weeks ago:
it’s bambu connect, right? that’s what the thing is called?
- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 3 weeks ago:
One thing is for sure, their “security” that is Bambu Connect was compromised almost immediately after it was released (not very secure, is it?)
- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 3 weeks ago:
Bambus do print great, but Sovol, Qidi, Prusa, etc. also seem to print great while not doing any of the Apple/HP-esque anti-consumer practices.
- Comment on Why do I need a domain to access my Funkwhale library but not SyncThing? 3 weeks ago:
As some others have said, you could use a VPN like Tailscale to connect to your local network remotely. Alternatively, you could simply not deal with all the faff and only use your services locally, which is what I do with Nextcloud and Immich. Syncs when I get home but doesn’t when I’m not, and I can always use Tailscale to remotely access my server if there are any issues.
