- Comment on Feature Drop: Shared Services 2 days ago:
I passed the Anubis or whatever captcha it was when I first visited the page. You might be right, but they’ve already lost my interest.
- Comment on Feature Drop: Shared Services 2 days ago:
Yeah, and I can see agent files in the daemon repo, so the project is configured for AI. But if I try checking the commit history I get a login page and if I try actually opening files I get the “NO!” on all subsequent pages. Go ahead, try it. Any project hiding their stuff like that makes me very distrustful.
- Comment on Feature Drop: Shared Services 2 days ago:
Looks AI. I tried to look at the source on their gitlab server but it just said “NO!”
Like literally, that’s what the page said. I’ll pass.
- Comment on Server case recommendation 2 days ago:
I don’t think there is a shortage of cheap rackmount ATX cases. Any 3U case or larger should fit a full size GPU, though if you need a power cable coming out the long edge you might need 4U.
- Comment on Strategies and advice for transitioning out of Apple's ecosystem of devices? 4 days ago:
Pick one thing at a time and evaluate alternatives.
The biggest problem is that Apple is an ecosystem, and Linux isn’t. Apple works to make sure that all their stuff is tightly coupled and works well together. Anywhere else, you’re going to have to manage each thing independently, and a lot of stuff isn’t going to work together. Your files, email, calendar, calls and texts, and other messages are all going to be provided by separate systems, and not always handed off from PC to phone.
- Comment on How much pain should I expect upgrading my server from Debian 12 to 13? 1 week ago:
I had no trouble at all.
- Comment on Is webmin safe to hsve accesible over the web 1 week ago:
Not necessarily. But it’s one service, compared to multiple, which could each have their own vulnerabilities. It’s about reduction of risk.
- Comment on Anyone tried Drivebase yet? (looking for cloud file storage) https://www.dr 1 week ago:
I’m also liking Drivebase supporting multiple cloud providers, as I have files in more than one place.
Does this not means you have files on cloud provider platforms?
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (23 October 2026) 1 week ago:
Someone made a dumb joke on reddit and it blew up. They didn’t actually do anything.
- Comment on LiveOverflow - php situation 24h later (YouTube) 1 week ago:
Unattended application to test. If it passes testing, unattended application to prod.
I still wouldn’t do this for any critical service, but for a “move fast and break things” system like Facebook where it goes down and nothing bad happens, sure.
- Comment on For users with public facing services: How does the current explosion of AI-discovered vulnerabilities affect your threat model and willingness to be public facing? 2 weeks ago:
The only thing I have exposed is my VPN, so no change here.
- Comment on Mysterious Loop Devices in Disk manager on plex server 2 weeks ago:
What makes you think it’s an issue? What problem is it causing? You can probably identify which snap they belong to.
- Comment on cheap remote kvm 2 weeks ago:
Does it support vPro or whatever the AMD equivalent is? I know it exists, but I’ve never set them up or used them.
- Comment on Netbird and Pihole 2 weeks ago:
It’s for his business
Nope. Nope nope nope. You don’t want to be the one responsible for anything when he and his employees are having problems, especially at odd hours or when you’re not around to fix something.
- Comment on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer 2 weeks ago:
It was forked months ago and is actively developed github.com/nicholas-fedor/watchtower/
- Comment on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer 2 weeks ago:
Even without data compromise or pivoting, they can still mine crypto on your hardware, launch a ddos, spam email, do botnet stuff, or host CSAM.
- Comment on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer 2 weeks ago:
I’m guessing this requires it be exposed to the Internet. Please stop exposing services to the Internet.
- Comment on problems with AR8151 onboard LAN 2 weeks ago:
Does it persist if you change the cable, the device on the far side, the OS? What’s in the log when it drops?
- Comment on PSA to Home Assistant users 2 weeks ago:
No, your credentials have not been “hoovered up”. A hash is not reversible, and a partial hash would match far too many potential passwords to be any more accurate than random guesses.
Still, uploading any data, especially identifying data, should absolutely not be enabled by default.
- Comment on Is anyone self-hosting their own AI? 2 weeks ago:
It’s scheduled maintenance so it doesn’t count toward downtime. Besides, I’m not trying to use it then anyway.
- Comment on Any DDNS recommendations? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, there was a thread just yesterday with a bunch, and I’m sure you can find more with a search
- Comment on Wattroom for bike training 2 weeks ago:
The linked page says it supports Chrome on Android.
I wouldn’t expect too much support, though. The biggest contributor to that project is AI.
- Comment on Finally escaping Windows, ironically thanks to AI 2 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s the proper way to do it.
There’s a guy at work constantly asking AI everything on his second screen. He came to me after failing to figure out an issue using it. I said “oh yeah let’s look at the documentation, I bet there’s an example for this exact scenario” and sure enough there was. Made the change, tested and working.
On the other hand, any time I want to do something with Ansible, I start off reading the docs, can’t find what I need, scour a bunch of search results, and when that fails somehow AI can produce a working example of what I need in a few tries.
- Comment on Someone on Torrent Sites Kept Fucking With My Sonarr 3 weeks ago:
No, most public ones are fine. Always have been. I’ve never used a private tracker and have had very few issues. Especially after using Radarr, etc. to pick out good and bad torrents.
- Comment on ISP won't set up static IP - Services keep going down 3 weeks ago:
Why not run just the VPN on the VPS instead of opening everything directly?
- Comment on Can you please tell me all about your DIY router? 3 weeks ago:
Opnsense on whatever. Plus pihole for DNS/adblock.
- Comment on Which domain registry or specific TLD do you prefer, and why? 3 weeks ago:
it’s really easy to set up secondary nameservers as a mirror
You assume a resolver will actually proceed to the secondary ns and not just give up when the first one is down. There is a lot of badly-behaved software out there.
- Comment on These are the kind of reactions I get when I recommend Anubis to deal with bots at work, what alternatives are there? 3 weeks ago:
Yes.
- Comment on These are the kind of reactions I get when I recommend Anubis to deal with bots at work, what alternatives are there? 3 weeks ago:
Anubis provides a non-cutesy version. The only one dying on a hill here is you guys refusing to consider it.

Excellently corporate, I can already hear the MBAs salivating over how blandly cookie-cutter it is.
