- Comment on Podman: Issues with multiple users running containers simultaneously 1 day ago:
That’s the thing about computers, they do exactly what you tell them.
sudo echoworks, but the pipe and the redirect are interpreted by the bash shell you’re in, which isn’t being run with sudo.You should also know that echo is a bash shell builtin, so the echo you’re running with
echoandsudo echoare two very different things. - Comment on Podman: Issues with multiple users running containers simultaneously 1 day ago:
Shell into the container and find out.

“/usr/share/nginx/html/index.html” is forbidden (13: Permission denied)Does the user have permission to that file?

You posted to a Lemmy instance, so I don’t think it came through.

No. This is just research to get data. They’re not trying to present any conclusions.
- Comment on How do people handle authoritative DNS redundancy for their self-hosted workloads? 2 days ago:
Yeah unfortunately you’re depending on proper behavior from other people’s systems, which is almost never a safe thing to do.
I’m sure there’s some magic you can do to only have one ns backed by two servers, but the easiest fix would be to randomize the order that the ns records are presented. It would reduce, but not eliminate, the failure you describe. If ns1 is down but ns2 is listed first, even a poorly-behaved resolver should be able to resolve your stuff.

Yup, they’re flash frozen pretty soon after catch. Anything lingering will be killed by cooking.
Wild animals carry disease. Who knew!
- Comment on [AIP] besstiolle/Timeline: my own tool for organizing my timeline diagrams with (hardly) no AI-generated content 4 days ago:
Yes that’s my point, they misphrased it
- Comment on [AIP] besstiolle/Timeline: my own tool for organizing my timeline diagrams with (hardly) no AI-generated content 4 days ago:
I mean when you say “hardly no AI” that means it was “mostly all” AI. I don’t think that’s what you meant to say.
- Comment on [AIP] besstiolle/Timeline: my own tool for organizing my timeline diagrams with (hardly) no AI-generated content 4 days ago:
Hardly none is mostly all.
- Comment on Researchers use AI to ‘democratize’ 3D printing of crucial metal alloy 4 days ago:
The alloy, called GRCop-42, is made of three metals – copper, chromium, and niobium.
I’m not sure how AI/ML would help identify working printing configurations. Seems like plain old simulations would have been more useful.
- Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update September 2026 4 days ago:
Are you using docker compose? If you did a docker compose down, I would have expected it to stop and remove both the containers and network, which ought to resolve a duplicate MAC.
- Comment on Do you know a remote NAS backup solution without Tailscale? 5 days ago:
None of us are 100% self-hosted.
- Comment on What are my best options for hosting classic game servers in 2026? 5 days ago:
A cheap vps is cheap and easy, and doesn’t require exposing your local network or making your friends install a VPN client. Old games don’t need much in terms of resources, but you may have trouble running them on a modern OS.
Note that because of that, you will be using software that almost certainly has known vulnerabilities. Take a backup or a snapshot in a known-good state that you can easily roll back to, and shut it down when you’re not using it, if possible.
- Comment on What are good (web-)proxy servers? or Using a web-proxy instead of VPN for gatekeeping 6 days ago:
Not all applications support it. Jellyfin explicitly does not.
And I’d rather only expose one service, the VPN, instead of exposing a bunch that might all have their own vulnerabilities.
- Comment on Router recommendation for newbie 1 week ago:
If you have cable, you need a modem. You might be able to put the ISP’s modem into passthrough mode. If not, get one of your own, from the ISP’s supported models list.

If you just want the nicotene, vape. The worst parts of tobacco is in the smoking. (The second worst are in the dipping.)

“Take care of yourself!”
“We developed a medicine”
“Wait no not like that”
- Comment on Popular erectile dysfunction drug linked to eye disease that can cause irreversible vision loss 1 week ago:
Never eat sausage or pepperoni, or have a slight increase in cancer risk? I’ll take the meats.
I’m sure it’s cumulative, so of course I’ll not eat like a stick of pepperoni every day, but once in a while won’t appreciably increase my risk. (I had one sausage and one pepperoni piece of pizza today for lunch, in fact.)

Autism doesn’t make you sound like a sales pitch.

China and bird population? Now where have I seen that before…
- Comment on What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server. 2 weeks ago:
Nah just jam a screwdriver in there to jump the pins.
You shut down your PC though?
- Comment on Need little help troubleshooting jellyfin 2 weeks ago:
Through termux? You’re running this on an android phone? I didn’t know you could do that. What process did you follow? What happens if you rerun the installation process?
- Comment on What Happens When a Happy Person Takes Ayahuasca? 2 weeks ago:
tl;dr: not much.
Also, why the fuck was this study being conducted by economists?
- Comment on Heavy cannabis users have been found to have nearly four times the odds of developing schizophrenia or psychosis compared to non-users, according to a Kings College Meta-Analysis 2 weeks ago:
The pooled analysis reported approximately a 4-fold increase in risk for the heaviest users and a 2-fold increase for the average cannabis user in comparison to nonusers.
So it’s a rough relative analysis, not one with a quantitative threshold for “heavy use”.
As always, all things in moderation.
- Comment on Anybody here does mTLS? 3 weeks ago:
It’s a good option if you can’t do anything better, like a VPN. Because there is always the risk of an authentication bypass vulnerability. The less attack surface, the better.
- Comment on Why is my home server using so much RAM for cache + buffer? 3 weeks ago:
That’s low utilization. If your ram was fully used and stuff was being frequently stopped, that’s when I would be concerned (and when you would experience wear on your SSD).
Right now you have less than a quarter used, and a couple things the kernel decided to swap out. Perfectly normal.
- Comment on I measured the idle RAM of 19 self-hosted apps on identical hardware so you can size a VPS without guessing 3 weeks ago:
You should simulate a number of repos and users to produce a realistic estimate. I would find that extremely useful, as would some of my colleagues at work. You should be able to scale up to a few hundred of each without too much trouble, and there will be no risk to running into any limits. I’m looking forward to this!
