- Comment on Could objects like stars be considered living? 2 days ago:
They don’t react to stimuli like gravity any more than a completely inanimate object.
They also don’t reproduce. Dying and reforming is not reproduction. I’m not aware of anything already considered living that will die and reanimate.

An allergy test uses small amounts to test for a reaction.
- Comment on A cutting-edge gene-editing trial in China went disastrously wrong. A family wan 3 days ago:
If the adverse reaction is to the vector, the patient would then experience the negative effects without a chance of getting any benefits.
Yeah but she wouldn’t be fucking dead.

A virus that doesn’t actually do anything is how. Or a test injection that doesn’t have any virus at all, if the reaction was to something else in it.

she died of a severe immune reaction linked to the therapy
Yeah that’s something that should have been tested for prior to actually starting the therapy.

Regardless of what you choose, consider what happens when you lose Internet service or power. A copper line needs neither. If a bad storm comes through and someone gets hurt, you need to be able to call 911.

Just use Immich. It’s easy and apes Google Photos.
Ente is the other main option, but I never evaluated it because Immich worked so well.
- Comment on Self Hosting- Security recommendations 5 days ago:
Connect via VPN instead of reverse proxy. Don’t expose services directly if you can avoid it.

Maybe there’s some kind of filter software that could limit the visual whiplash. Like you can adjust brightness and contrast on the monitor, but maybe there’s some other software that could add motion blur to fast changes, kind of like volume leveling in audio. Even if a game doesn’t support it, you might be able to use something like ReShade or some system software. Just spitballing, you know your body better than I do.

Plenty of online games that don’t do that. Hell, you can play chess online. Any turn-based game shouldn’t have fast-moving graphics.

- Comment on People With Aphantasia Can't Visualize Anything. So How Do They Dream? 1 week ago:
People who don’t visualize an apple like it’s a picture on an iPhone can still visualize an apple. They know it’s red, the size of a fist, round/tooth shaped, etc.
So they don’t visualize it, then. Imagine, recall characteristics, yes, but without a visual it’s not visualizing.

2 tb HDD I bought on aliexpress
Well there’s the first red flag. Who’s it made by? Have you verified the capacity with one of those verifier tools? Fake ones will report a huge capacity while having very little, and writes past it just disappear.

I don’t. But I do sync the backup data to cloud storage.

Never heard of it. Why should I use it instead of established systems?

In any system, the human is usually the weakest link.
- Comment on what's the simple way to map services to subdomains instead of specifying the port number? 2 weeks ago:
You don’t need ipv6 for that. You can assign as many ipv4 addresses to an interface as you want.

Well there was that study of sexuality of dolphins on LSD…
- Comment on Help choosing a good HDD for my home server? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, unfortunately 8tb on one drive is not necessarily the exact same as 8tb on any other model drive, even from the same manufacturer. Where possible, you should replace with as close a model as you can get.
If you’re expecting to mix and match, it’s a good idea to leave a little slack space at the end to account for this. Else you may have to fiddle with the partitions as you found, or at worst start a whole new array with the smaller drive and migrate the others.
- Comment on Help choosing a good HDD for my home server? 2 weeks ago:
Drives don’t die every few years. Some will, just out of pure statistics, but generally once they’re broken in, they’ll run for years and years. I buy mine used with up to 40k hours on them (~4.5 years) and they keep running for years more. Usually I end up upgrading them before they actually have issues.
- Comment on Help choosing a good HDD for my home server? 2 weeks ago:
Noise is not really a specification for this kind of drive. I would recommend just putting the server somewhere it won’t matter, if possible.
Most drives are mostly reliable. Backblaze publishes data on reliability if you’re curious, but I would just say to always be prepared to replace a drive. That means RAID and/or backups (but RAID itself is not a backup).
The only really important thing is to avoid SMR drives. Performance is terrible because any write involves a bunch of additional writes.

I use a volume bind mount for the container’s config directory, then back that up. And the docker-compose file.
- Comment on How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN? 2 weeks ago:
Tenable owns Nessus. But they have a free tier.
The FOSS equivalent is Greenbone OpenVAS: greenbone.github.io/docs/latest/

Plus it enables you to access everything. If you have radarr or sonarr or whatever, you can get to those and add media while out and about.
Personally I use Mealie and pull up ingredient lists while I’m im at the grocery store.
- Comment on Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network 3 weeks ago:
Assuming their ISP and everything else supports ipv6. An even so it’ll still be visible through scanning, through brute force, or if anyone is reading cert transparency reports anf scanning the domains that show up.
- Comment on Is they're an easy way to make my Jellyfin accessible outside of my home network 3 weeks ago:
Yes, it works great for me. Probably not for a TV though, for that you’d probably need some travel router VPN client. But I don’t know how often you’d be at a random TV and need to get to jellyfin.
