- Comment on These are the kind of reactions I get when I recommend Anubis to deal with bots at work, what alternatives are there? 1 week ago:
It has been an upsetting thread to read; in frustrated on your behalf OP. I think many commenters here have not worked in the kind of environment you’re describing, and “get another job” is deeply unhelpful advice.

- Comment on Hosting external services 5 weeks ago:
If people want to use a service you’re putting in the effort (and money) hosting, they can put in the effort to learn how to access it, however you choose. Otherwise they can kick rocks.

- Comment on Standalone cameras 5 weeks ago:
Wasn’t Eufy caught uploading data workout consent? Memory is a little fuzzy but I believe it was something like thumbnails being stored in an insecure cloud whether you liked it or not.
- Comment on Do any self hostable security cameras support a VPN to upload footage to another site? 1 month ago:
Their title and post mention VPNs multiple times. The P is Private. They also mention wanting to use their own storage, again implying privacy. Their entire post implies they care about privacy.
- Comment on The hardest choices require the strongest wills 1 month ago:
While I agree that sucked hard, it’s not exactly a like comparison to the software in OP.
- Comment on Do any self hostable security cameras support a VPN to upload footage to another site? 1 month ago:
Recommending Eufy to someone specifically asking for privacy focused suggestions is wild.
They were caught, and admitted to, lying about being offline only, and storing unencrypted thumbnails, if memory serves. They got fined for it and I’m sure they say they’re doing better but how can you trust them after that?
I would avoid Eufy given the context of post, OP.
- Comment on Critical Keycloak Vulnerability (CVSS 9.1) - CVE-2026-18963 1 month ago:
I appreciate you taking the time to write this out, but I knew all of that and didn’t really address the question. I was asking why the commenter above mine was using an auth service, like Keycloak, on LAN.
It has been answered a few times, thanks.

Out of curiosity, what is the advantage of using something like this on LAN only?

Really neat of you to do and to share, thanks. Not to sound ungrateful, but honest question… What good are these numbers if they are the floor?

- Comment on Is this a good first homeserver? 2 months ago:
Note about the network: it really doesn’t matter how fast your server can go if the rest of the stuff connected to it can’t also handle it.
You have a server with a 10 gigabit network port, you also need the cabling, router, switches, and other hardware that can handle 10 gigabit.
- Comment on Laptop as server, how to best manage battery? 4 months ago:
There’s no supposing necessary. It was a fire hazard, and presently not eventually. When something has caused a fire, it’s no longer a hazard, it’s just, you know, a fire.

Then call it Matrix. They don’t need to know and probably don’t care about the specific server software you’re using.
