There’s a community plugin for self hosted live sync.
- Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel? 2 days ago:
You’re right, sorry, that was a heavy brain fart. The data needs to be decrypted on cloudflare’s end before being proxied and send to your services.
- Comment on Cloudflare Tunnel? 2 days ago:
You can (and I do) terminate TLS locally and have your data encrypted through the tunnel. Use Traefik/Caddy for easy automated certs with containers or whatever flow you prefer to automate acme certs provisioning locally. You’ll have to configure your tunnel to hit a local DNS so it can route the domain to your local IP instead of the public records on the tunnel.

I use plex also because I have a lifetime sub. Totally agree.
Switch from VMS to docker. Use NAS to keep the media, and store your compose stacks somewhere backed up, then all you need is one host with docker/podman and a repeatable configuration driven deployment. Start adding apps with compose files, no new host setups, no significant resource needs.

Your setup isn’t modern enough and you still find convenience in paying for Netflix?
I don’t know what else to make of it…
- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 3 days ago:
Netflix has been enshityfying and on the capitalist death spiral for YEARS, cancel that shit and spend your money on a VPN and some hard drives…
- Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe 4 days ago:
That is how the signal protocol works, it’s end to end encrypted with the keys only known between the two ends.
The issue is that servers are needed to relay the connections (they only hold public keys) because your phone doesn’t have a static public IP that can reliably be communicated to. The servers are needed to communicate with people as they switch networks constantly throughout the day. And they can block traffic to the relay servers.

Once that’s broken into: encryption and backups, purchase new hardware and rebuild. Downtime sucks though.
- Comment on Reddit Mods Sued by YouTuber Ethan Klein Fight Efforts to Unmask Them 1 week ago:
Go back and rewatch his old videos, they were never good, we were just immature know it alls that enjoyed the superiority high we got from his bullshit, even before the podcast and the shift to internet drama, he never made “good” content.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 1 week ago:
TikTok and Instagram were never good, but they provided a platform for people on the streets to provide real time updates on current events that countered the state narrative/propaganda on main stream media.
TikTok and Instagram exposed the truth about the American empire to a significant portion of the population. They want to make sure it’s all controlled state approved content, they want to eliminate our ability to reach eyes and ears.
So sure, have at the Chinese propaganda platform, but not without an alternative that allows us to reach wide audiences… And we don’t have an alternative… Not enough people are on the fediverse and the learning curve is pretty massive.
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 1 week ago:
So we’re clear, you should match their accent is the lesson here… Had he introduced her as maRITza and you responded “oh Maritza”, he’d have the same reaction.
Don’t correct someone’s accent, that’s what he reacted to.
- Comment on YSK: there's a browser extension called "SingleFile", which allows you to save a page into a single HTML file. 2 weeks ago:
The ability to properly Save a page to view offline is already included in most browsers. Even Edge has that functionality built into it.
Go ahead and show the classroom what you’re talking about…
- Comment on YSK: there's a browser extension called "SingleFile", which allows you to save a page into a single HTML file. 2 weeks ago:
A property secured site won’t serve its css and js when requested from a non configured domain (such as localhost), so the html is the only part that will work when you save the page as.
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
Correct, look at any dictatorial regime in history, half the population will but the propaganda without an ounce of critical thought, most of the remaining will shrug and keep their head low to survive, and a tiny portion of the population will resist, which makes them easy to target and eliminate.
And nothing will improve until there’s a critical mass of resistance, which the average American has no interest in.
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
The whole reason we’re in this is mess is people’s apathy and insisting the only thing they can do is vote for warmongering Democrats. Everyone is just working their jobs and living their life normally, when they should be out in the streets demanding heads on spikes.
- Comment on Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
Because if we say anything positive about AI programming we get downvoted to hell…
I’m not a supporter of the companies making LLMs and how they profit off others’ intellect, I’m not a supporter of their use of the technology for fascism, genocide, and pure evil. I’m not a moron that thinks LLMs are intelligent.
But I recognize it as a very useful technological advancement, it’s a very useful tool and to pretend otherwise is foolish. LLMs are an amazing coding aid, and when used correctly and fed the right context, they can save hours of frustration and research dead-ends.

If you don’t care about uptime, self host it on the local machine you have and expose it through free cloudflare tunnels.
- Comment on Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps 4 weeks ago:
They have theatrics, it would have ended up the same way if Biden/Harris won. Democrats (Biden) introduced it in the first place, and your instinct is still to believe they opposed it?
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 4 weeks ago:
I had issues with auto scan years ago, just re-enabled it and it’s working fine now so that’s resolved, thanks.
The other issue is still a problem, and why I’ll be switching to Navidrome for music. Jellyfin wasn’t mature enough last time I tried to replace my lifetime Plex pass, but I have a feeling I’ll be ditching Plex entirely soon.
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 4 weeks ago:
Annoyance: Can’t scan your music library from the PlexAmp app, can’t scan it from the Plex app either. Super frustrating when music as added and you have to struggle with pop-up navigation on the Plex desktop site on mobile.
Game breaker: maybe it’s just really hard to find and undocumented, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to use profiles with PlexAmp, either to have individual play history and playlists, or to age restrict some music content.
- Comment on Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps 4 weeks ago:
For the Democrats/liberals who think they’re leftist in the room, note that this done by Biden, how it was put on hold for review so that news spread and pacifies the anger, and how it came back stronger when you forgot about it. And now Democrats will shrug and say “Trump is in charge, we’re powerles.”
Democrats are not your friends, they are not a lesser evil, we need a revolution.
- Comment on Leaked emails link NHS data privatiser Palantir to Jeffrey Epstein 5 weeks ago:
It’s way worse, shooting weather balloons make them sound like angels.

They provide police state technology currently used by ICE to target immigrants and several US cities police departments use their tech for “predictive policing.” Not to mention they are actively and enthusiastically testing predictive generative AI to plan war crimes and hallucinate targets in the Gaza genocide. Technology they will bring home as “battle tested.”

One would hope so, as that’s one of the main pros of open source.
- Comment on Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus 1 month ago:
Initial setup is the only real time investment. Once you have the final edited video exported, uploading it to multiple platforms doesn’t take much more time. It does take away ad impressions from YouTube, though.
- Comment on Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus 1 month ago:
Because they do actually do it for the money. It’s a job, and if they put the same content on a non monetized platform, they would drive they’re own viewers away from their own monetized platform = less money.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yes we absolutely do. Articulate the value of having right wing state propaganda as part of your “news” intake. Don’t just say this is an echo chamber, articulate why including right wing media is good for you.
- Comment on Is "AI" the end of truth? 1 month ago:
You know how Google gives you AI summary at the top now? It’s great, isn’t it?
No longer do you have to sift through multiple results to and give your device ad cancer just to get a simple answer to a question. Google just gives you the answer directly! It’s so great and helpful.
Except when it’s not, but it never says “I don’t know, check the results manually”, it just makes shit up. The other day I googled “geely pixel 9 wireless connection” because I couldn’t connect my pixel 9 to a geely car wirelessly. Google (the maker of the pixel 9) confidently described how the “Geely Pixel 9 is a device made by Geely…” and went on to give useless instructions.
This was a inconsequential query. What happens when you look up a serious topic and the sites that maintained that knowledge online no longer find it financially feasible? What happens when you rely on the trained model and that’s the only option? What happens when it hallucinates convincingly? Are you sure it hasn’t fooled you yet?
Social media created bubbles of ignorance and fake news, AI replacing search intends to eliminate the non-bubbles the rest of us seek and count on. What are you gonna do, drive to the library and read books every time you need to learn something new?
- Comment on Americans’ junk-filled garages are hurting EV adoption, study says 1 month ago:
Because they keep buying shit they don’t need and hording it in the garage, while their car sits outside in the driveway exposed to the elements.
Hyperinflation and incoming recession aside, Americans have been using their garages for junk storage for many decades.
