- Comment on Where did the dust settle on Syncthing Fork? 4 days ago:
I switched from Bitwarden to keepassxc (pc) and keepassdx (android) and installed syncthing (pc) and syncthing-fork (android) to sync the db file a couple of weeks ago - all works fine, no dramas.
- Comment on Okay why is your distro the best? 1 month ago:
LMDE - no idea if its the ‘best’ but its the best for me right now in that it does what I want, looks how I want and stays out of my way.
- Comment on How do you capture things quickly across devices in a self-hosted setup? 2 months ago:
Self hosted Standard Notes?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I’m both cis and hetero. There is not one iota of evidence I’ve seen that there is any sort of movement that wishes death on cis and hetero people, or that organises vigilante groups to hunt down cis or hetero people to beat them up, or that invents bizarre rumours about ‘what they do’ or conflates cis and hetero people with paedophilia or that tries to organise campaigns to get cis or hetero-centric book removed from libraries.
There is no formal or informal system of oppression towards cis and hetero people. It just doesn’t exist.
- Comment on What's the point of specifically Americans identifying with other cultures if people born there will just make fun of them for it? 2 months ago:
There’s a fine line between celebrating the history of your ancestors and performative cultural appropriation. Being interested in ones ancestors is one thing - swearing that you’re ‘fiery’ because of your Irish ancestry when you’re 3 or 4 generations removed from that ancestry is a bit weird at best.
I think the US does have a culture all its own - some of the world’s best authors, musicians, artists etc are from the US. It does puzzle me that some US folks are so desperate to claim deep cultural ties when they have a pretty good culture already, formed in part from those ancestors.

From the article:
“Britain’s seventh-richest man, who vocally backed Brexit then moved to Monaco, also hits out at people on benefits”
because of course he does.
- Comment on Non-US cloud storage for backup? 3 months ago:
Not pricey, e2ee clients, open source, servers in Germany, 10gb free tier to try them out. Been using them for a few years now. The clients used to be a bit crap but they’re very good now.

TIL, thank you.
- Comment on (UK) New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks 3 months ago:
No doubt. But the time correlation (and yes, I know correlation does not automatically equate to causation) together with the direct consequences it would have on trans kids seems much more suggestive of the withdrawal of care playing a role than COVID.
- Comment on (UK) New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks 3 months ago:
You’re right that I was wrong that it was Wes Streeting who was warned - got my dates muddled - but it was him as then leader of DoH who commissioned and then downplayed the report into the surge in suicides. It was him and his dept who tried to block various FOI requests. They knew.
Not sure how you come to the conclusion this is COVID related though.
- Comment on (UK) New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks 3 months ago:
Wes Streeting et al were warned suicide numbers would surge if they did it. They ignored the warning and did it anyway. Suicide numbers did then surge. Streeting et al called the reporting on the surge irresponsible and wrong and denied it all. Now this FOI shows the carnage. Carnage that is most likely as this stage under-reported.
And nothing will change because to the Wes Streeting’s of this world - and sadly a lot of the UK general public - there’s a difference between dead kids and dead trans kids.
- Comment on UK government starting to think about leaving X 4 months ago:
I’m no fan of Starmer, even less of the OSA but Grok is literally producing deepfake CSAM and other non consensual images. The UK government, like I would hope the vast majority of people, think that’s appalling and don’t want it to happen. They asked X/Musk to stop Grok producing non consensual deepfakes and all they did was limit its availability to paying subscribers - essentially making the creation of deepfake CSAM a premium service. All Musk really demonstrated is that X can act swiftly, despite the numerous times it said it can’t, but doesn’t want to deprive its paying users of the ability to create CSAM.
It’s totally insane to me that this is being framed, by US Republicans as a free speech issue but I guess a country that can murder a woman driving a car is fucked up in plenty of other ways too.

Agree with one side, not the other.
- Comment on Looking for Castopod opinions/experiences 4 months ago:
Could you DM me a link too please? I’ve got no issues paying for something that makes my life easier!
- Comment on Looking for Castopod opinions/experiences 4 months ago:
Yeah, things going wrong is a concern. From the very brief look I’ve had at the repo, it looks like PHP and a standard MySQL/Maria DB runs Castopod so I’m hoping that side of things would be minimal and similar to self-hosting a WP instance.
The VPS side, I’m reasonably OK with. I’ve been running static sites for a few years with zero issues so far but I am less familiar with this side of things.
In terms of bandwidth, based on (basic) stats up until now I would guestimate we have about 100 downloads per month and each episode is approx 90-100mb in size so the package I have my eye on, which offers 24TB bandwidth per month should easily cope with that.
Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

For the threadiverse in particular I’d add transferable user created Communities (between instances).

It's not a bad idea at all - more people should try things they're curious about. As long as everyone involved exercises informed consent its your call what you do.

Can confirm the ubo custom filter method works perfectly.

I don't know that it is objectively the best - but its the best fit for me right now (LMDE).
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
I learnt to speak French by living there for a year or so but I still cannot read it at all beyond short sentences because how a word sounds is different than how it looks.
As for English, I think both learning English and English speakers learning other languages is extra hard because English is such a hodge podge of random bits of other syntaxes and structures. Its a mess of a language in lots of respects making it hard to learn and hard for native speakers to get past the messiness and learn a better structured language.
