- Comment on Earth needs more energy. Atlanta’s Super Soaker creator may have a solution. 2 hours ago:
The cost of installing the generator and wiring is far higher than the energy recouped.
- Comment on How do I get followers on mastodon (or any other non-thread social media) 2 hours ago:
You know what tags are, right? It’s a tag, denoted with the hash symbol.

You don’t live in a vacuum.
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 23 hours ago:
Not every compromise is reported, or even detected.
- Comment on What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting? 1 day ago:
A VPN is the best option. You should be able to split-tunnel your jellyfin traffic and still see the device on the LAN.
- Comment on Google is experimentally replacing news headlines with AI clickbait nonsense 1 day ago:
Four words seems a fair metric for the shortest descriptive headline. I mean, can you beat “Foot Heads Arms Body”? The only shorter ones are “man bites dog”, “Dewey defeats Truman”, or something as simple as “WAR” when everyone already knows the details and this is just the official announcement.

Possibly. The BBC made a big row about Apple’s headlines: www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2v778x85yo

Citizen Kane.
You watch it now, and it’s just a regular movie. But in 1941, it was incredibly unorthodox. It set the benchmark for modern movies.
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 2 days ago:
And regional communities. There’s not nearly enough people in the fediverse to support city or state communities. And only the most populous countries.

Taking notes on those weird little puzzles
Or, because it’ll hurt more, you twit.
- Comment on SFF + external HDD docking station vs ATX tower w/ internal mounts for NAS? 3 days ago:
Why go full ATX? Get something like a Jonsbo N2 case and an ITX board. Still small and portable, but far more reliable.
Most of the power draw of any NAS system is running the drive motors.
- Comment on New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports." 5 days ago:
Wait, is this about the posts from melonhusk@sh.itjust.works? We don’t need a new rule for that, they were spamming.
- Comment on ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users 5 days ago:
I agree. I think ansible is great in principle, but the documentation is severely lacking. Like it’ll tell you to set a value, but not whether it’s supposed to be in yaml, environment, or something else. And if it’s in yaml, it doesn’t tell you the required context to make it valid. But when someone has taken all the documentation, all the tutorials, the articles, the example code, working code, and stack overflow answers and put them all into a blender, often a useful answer comes out.
- Comment on New Community Rule: "No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports." 5 days ago:
Agreed. If anything, I’ve seen relevant posts be removed as “not related to self-hosting” when they’re questions about stuff like certificates.

Written by Copilot and passes the tests also written by Copilot.

- Comment on PhotoStructure vs. PhotoPrism 6 days ago:
I used photoprism briefly, and it seemed okay, but my use-case was porn so I switched to stash.
If you want a Google photos clone, most people use immich.

I don’t think the lead level designer is making those decisions.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 1 week ago:
That’s not a NAS, that’s a whole-ass PC, though with only 8gb RAM.
- Comment on I highly recommend journalctl-desktop-notification 1 week ago:
Well yes, you take the stairs to the next level.
- Comment on How to propperly Ansible and selfhost without burning out? 1 week ago:
I just aim for “good enough”. Does it work, does it meet my needs? That’s good enough, even if it isn’t exactly the right way.
Like right now I have a system that needs manual intervention if I shut it down, or it’ll come back up non-functional. But it works well enough so I’ll just fix that eventually. I like to spend my free time doing more social or productive stuff.
- Comment on ZaneOps is a great self hosted PaaS alternative to Vercel and Netlify 1 week ago:
I think a self-hosted platform as a service is just called a platform
- Comment on I highly recommend journalctl-desktop-notification 1 week ago:
If you want the next level up, set up a log collector like graylog or something.

- Comment on The cloud is just someone else's computer, but the internet is just someone else's network 1 week ago:
Some do, but that means you’re locked in to whoever the landlord chooses for the ISP, and you can’t call the ISP for support if you have issues.
- Comment on The cloud is just someone else's computer, but the internet is just someone else's network 1 week ago:
Why not a municipal service?
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 1 week ago:
It’s open source, so you could always just patch it without paying too. But you should support the maintainers if you think they deserve it.
