- Comment on Mod changes and an intro 1 week ago:
Happy to help out if you want coverage; I’m in Eastern time.
I think the existing moderation was pretty good, if a bit strict on what is or is not self hosting (e.g. I probably would have let that LUKS post slide). “Light touch” unless something is egregious is my method as well.
- Comment on PSA: Flow Control and Port Buffers are key to fix poor uplink speeds 1 week ago:
True, but if it’s only the proxmox host with the problem, it’s probably not the cable carrier. The traffic from your different devices looks mostly the same to them.

What if I accidentally posted to the wrong community? Or posted something with a username/password in it? Or accidentally selected a picture of my penis wearing a little monocle and top hat to this community?
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 1 week ago:
Even misinformation? CSAM?
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 1 week ago:
I mean if you want personal, private, ad-hoc support, hire someone to work for you personally.
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 1 week ago:
That would be any freelancing hiring platform.

- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 1 week ago:
So do all future applications automatically receive access or is a subscription required??? Repeating what it says does not provide any clarifying information!
- Comment on Do you think my HDD is broken? 1 week ago:
This. I buy used, not even refurbished, but I check the health as soon as I get it. I’ve had a few come in dead or dying, so I immediately get a refund or replacement.
- Comment on Do you think my HDD is broken? 1 week ago:
Most platters are not made of glass. Usually it’s only the tiny laptop HDDs, which have not been used in new laptops for years. I’ve certainly never seen a 3.5" drive with glass platters.
- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 1 week ago:
So each person gets their own API key when installing some custom app. This is normal procedure. I’m not seeing an issue with that part.
- Comment on Ideas for self hosted door bell 1 week ago:
I’d rather just run a wire through or along the door and out the hinge side.
- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 1 week ago:
How many people are personally operating more than 10 athletes? Are there that many enormous super-athlete families that all rely on Strava?
- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 1 week ago:
Yeah that’s why I’m confused. It says it’s automatic, then later says a subscription is required.
- Comment on Strava just killed its free API, will require a subscription if you want to build on top of it 1 week ago:
It says all apps will have automatic access to the standard tier. How is that killing anything? It sounds more like they’re removing an approval process.
Edit: ok but further down it also says “subscription required”. I’m confused.
- Comment on PewDiePie releases Codex/ClaudeCode/Cursor killer, Odysseous (FOSS) 2 weeks ago:
And disclosed to the public before the project maintainer, too. This is shit from every angle.
- Comment on Should I switch from Synology Photos to Immich? 2 weeks ago:
Just stand it up and copy over a sample set. It’ll take like two hours tops. Play around and see if you like it. I did it and had the fancy features working right out of the box.
If you’ve used Google Photos, it’s almost an exact clone.
- Comment on Scientists solve 200-year-old puzzle of how tobacco plants make nicotine 3 weeks ago:
The biggest win here would be if we could develop low-nicotene tobacco to help people quit smoking.
- Comment on Gabe Newell Found "Unknown Life" in Japan by Water CS2 (video: 13:57 mins) [Note: Gabe is the founder of Valve and Steam] 3 weeks ago:
Youtube sensationlist bs. Fortunately there’s the paper link, so I went and looked, and here’s what they found (reformatted for readability)
30 groups with indeterminable morphotaxa numbers (‘spp’) were also included. These included
- groups of small individuals that swarm (e.g. Amphipoda and Mysida),
- groups with small indeterminable body sizes (e.g., Annelida, munnopsid Isopoda, Ophiuroidea, elasipodid Holothuroidea),
- individuals of groups that were often drifting too far from the camera to confidently identify (e.g., Appendicularia, Narcomedusae, Trachymedusae and Ctenophora) and
- other groups that are notoriously difficult to identify from images (e.g., Monothalamea).
It’s not “wild unknown deep sea creature”, it’s “we didn’t get a good enough picture to say what species this annelid is”.

Voting and sorting by top.

Ahh that explains the behavior I was seeing earlier. Much appreciated!

Because you’re unaffected it is not “we”.
- Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update April 2026 2 months ago:
Damn. At least it’s easy to recover from.
- Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update April 2026 2 months ago:
I’ve been getting a lot of 502 and 503 “Lemmy is currently starting” messages recently. Is it something you’re doing intentionally, or is a service crashing and restarting?
- Comment on swapping out the router maybe? 2 months ago:
What CPU? If it was hitting 100% then that was probably your bottleneck. It just couldn’t handle the packets that fast.
Also note that the more features you turn on (firewalling, routing, inspection, etc.) the more processing has to be done on each packet.
Also also note that due to network overhead, gigabit speed for a real-world download is about 800 Mbps.
- Comment on How do you capture things quickly across devices in a self-hosted setup? 2 months ago:
You probably want linkwarden: github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden
I’m not sure if it handles non-link content like a random thought. Maybe a note-taking app for that; plenty of previous discussions on those if you search.
- Comment on self-hosted KeePass database in the cloud, what are some good options? 2 months ago:
Depends on how many copies you want, how willing you are to maintain it, and how much you want to risk your database being copied.
- Comment on AFFORDABLE selfhosted nocode relational databases? (à la Baserow/NocoDB, etc.) 2 months ago:
On the plus side that means it’ll be pretty quick and easy to implement.
But as always, I’m sure they’ll ask “ok but can it also do this?” and at that point you need to weigh the cost of your time vs buying one of those products.
The only other options I’m aware of are just using something like phpmysql or whatever the postgres equivalent is called, or maybe some FOSS alternative to powerbi. Maybe libreoffice calc can connect to SQL?
