- Comment on Roblox Hit With Multimillion-Dollar Suit By Los Angeles, for Creating Largely Unsupervised Online World That Enables Predatory Pedophiles and Give Them Powerful Tools to Prey on Kids 3 hours ago:
They can use chat, trust me. Found my kid was talking to someone in one game because the characters walk around with signs in their hands that they update what they say. Concerning to say the least. My wife is blind to it, says there’s little harm in playing with other kids and claims to supervise and she doesn’t see any predators. “I’m paranoid” and a "conspiracy theorist ". I said for the conspiracy, it’s not a theory when there’s proof… If it were up to me, I’d fully block YT and RB across the full network.

Yes… It does… I copied straight from the article, and a way to combat the whole Dev reg thing was to… Install alt store!!! Whoa!

Where they slow down your phone to try and force an upgrade? Let’s be real, how many people keep phones passed their 1-2 year upgrade cycle? I’m coming up on 4 years a my android, and outside of me dropping it in a pool it’s worked well! I’m finally ready to upgrade tho since it’s still funky ever since then.
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 1 day ago:
No, because you can literally use an alt app store
“Install F-Droid ↗ on your Android device(s). The more people that use alternative app marketplaces, the harder it will be to shut them out”
Also, to data transfer anything, you’re locked to iTunes on a specific device, on Android I could sideload apps from my SD card if I wanted, move pictures or video, etc.

- Comment on Caddy reverse proxy fails with a login page 2 days ago:
Why are you exposing your router login to the open web?? No bueno!
I take it you’re hitting that page via browsing to your public IP or domain name you setup? I’m no expert but it sounds like you’re using a self signed cert and using https to login to your router and it doesn’t like that…

- Comment on Sony-led program offers PS5 rentals starting at $13.50 a month in the UK across 12, 24, or 36-month leases — console has to be returned at the end of the contract 5 days ago:
Hell, at least when I did this for my Series X & GP, it was 0% interest and I kept it at the end of the 24 month period! Granted it was $35/mo not $13.50, but that’s crazy to lease a console without the option to buy after. 13.5x36=486 so you should buy outright for, say, $150 after?

I hope this is satire, bc the title alone makes me lose faith in humanity. Soon enough, people will just believe AI is actually intelligent and try to give it rights.
- Comment on Ring calls off partnership with police surveillance provider Flock Safety 6 days ago:
Not really. I bought a Fiet Electric one from Menards (like Home Depot). All my smart devices are on their own VLAN on my home net. Yes it’s still online connected for remote viewing, but gives me a little separation and immediate storage/historical access.

I’ve got most my neighbors to replace expensive doorbells with cheap ones with sd cards and better imaging. They’re happy to have spent $50-100 where it pays for itself in a year vs this shit.

Never heard of it either. Will check out cuz initially sounded like some vibecode app to quickly replace Discord since the news.

I am not knowledgeable enough yet, but doesn’t self-hosting Nextcloud have a voice feature? I’m looking into setting that all up myself

Sweet, thank you
- Comment on Looking for FOSS server monitoring UI 1 week ago:
Dang, that’s a lot of seperate parts for 1 “simple” task smh. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed away from all this Docker nonsense. I get it’s FOSS and is a great alternative to a lot of paid garbage, but just seems like there could be an easier way… Nice to learn, tinker, etc, but if it breaks, then it seems more complicated to fix as each component is separate.
I’ve just supported Window for so long and there’s a second-nature to troubleshooting; but took years to get there, ya know? I’ll check it out for sure, but I’m still going to look around myself
- Comment on Looking for FOSS server monitoring UI 1 week ago:
Someone opened my eyes recently to Yunohost which is a container manager essentially (my understanding) though is based on Debian for the newer versions not actual Docker.
Anyway, I can install Prometheus as well as node explorer, but I think I would only need Prometheus. Node explorer sounds like if I hosted Prometheus on another box and wanted this host to talk to it.
- Comment on Looking for FOSS server monitoring UI 1 week ago:
Why Grafana + Prometheus? Why do they have to go together?
- Comment on Is the Xbox One X a good console/4k player in 2026? 1 week ago:
OP didn’t ask about the Series S, but One X vs Series X.
One X, while better GPU and more RAM, doesn’t support next gen titles (of which there are a ton of that OP specifically asked about latest Forza) it also still runs the One/One S CPU which might be why it doesn’t do next gen.
Series X will impress, and more so if your display can match all the features (DV, HDR10, ALLM, VRR, 120Hz, etc)

Check out the next evolution, PeLED or PeNC. Perovskite LED or Perovskite Nano Crystal.
Should oulast LED 3x+, better brightness, better contrast, way better refresh rates with less ghosting, smaller pixel/higher density, etc.
- Comment on Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles' 2 weeks ago:
Well, yes and no. h.265 (HEVC) made it far better for UHD streaming to an extent. Around half the bandwidth of h.264 but 4x more pixels, so you only go up 2x bandwidth.
Now we have .AV1 and h.266 (VCC) formats which need adoption first before we can really push 8K/UHD content. Again, not 100% accurate, but around 3-5x bandwidth of h.264 but is ~15x pixels.
We’ve come a long way!
- Comment on Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles' 2 weeks ago:
That’s kind of what I’m getting at. Once you hit a certain size, it only makes sense to have a certain resolution. I know jumping from 65" to 85" made all my Plex content “blurry” bc it wasn’t good enough quality/bitrate. Reripping BD and 4K BD used h.265 and 12-15GB/hr per UHD file was way better!
Idk what 8K looks like, but for those new 98"+ displays, I wouldn’t go any bigger unless 8K. 42-50" Max FHD, I would say 85" Max UHD. You can’t really sit any further in a LR, so being that close I’d want it that way. Plus, it’d require the faster refresh rate to not look so bad moving over that much surface area.
I’m just excited for PeLED or PeNC (Perovskite LED / Nano Crystal). 😎🤯 sorry, off topic…
- Comment on Kiss goodbye to 8K as support from the TV industry 'dwindles' 2 weeks ago:
To add… It would only matter in large format displays anyway. Pixel density is only going to matter so much.
I remember when Sharp put out their Aquos 70" FHD TV and I thought, “eww, so grainy”! But now I’ve got a 85" UHD with the same density as a ~42" FHD which helps with clarity since my viewing distance hadn’t really changed (~10ft).
FPS is great and all, but not when most content is 24fps-60fps. 120 is an awesome sweet spot for 24fps content since its 5hz per frame.
IMO UHD still has room for growth and adoption before another tech hits. Not to mention the financial strains everyone’s in due to the fucking billionaire squeeze… And they wonder why people are tight on money?! Fucking idiots!
