- Comment on What is the most beloved food from where you live, and what's the most divisive? 1 week ago:
i don’t have any special memory about it other than it not being special (as in smell etc..)
i actually don’t really like fruits generally, i just tried it since i was on a trip. guess i should try once more if i get the chance.

my memory is vague but it just didn’t smell special at all.. weird
- Comment on What is the most beloved food from where you live, and what's the most divisive? 1 week ago:
is it really that bad? i tried it like once in thailand and it didn’t smell bad at all. maybe because it was fresh?

- Comment on Can you please tell me all about your DIY router? 3 weeks ago:
even cheap consumer router these days are actually surprisingly capable. mine’s from 2015! what model do you have? might be hard if it’s a realtek/brcm chipset…
- Comment on Can you please tell me all about your DIY router? 3 weeks ago:
i had a cheap made in china consumer router with mt7621 on it, porting openwrt was surprisingly easy and its been running well enough for the past 5 years. adguard home runs on it and handles dns adblocking

- Comment on How do you perform retro console maintenance? 5 weeks ago:
i usually don’t do anything unless it breaks. (other than cleaning exterior dust)
plastic clips on those consoles are fragile, so frequent disassembly may actually have adverse effects
- Comment on How is the iPhone 5s in 2026? 5 weeks ago:
it’s pretty good.
but because of the 1GB ram limit, you can’t run many apps at once on iOS 12. the phone can be (untethered) downgraded to iOS 10.3.3, so that would make it more usable as a feature phone..
modern app support is of course terrible. but there are community patches for some popular social media stuff if you need those. the builtin Safari browser is quite broken on ‘modern’ websites, but someone recently ported Chromium to run on iOS 12+ and that kinda works albeit slowly.

- Comment on used hard drive retailers 5 weeks ago:
this is true, refurb drives should be avoided unless it’s a very good deal. used drives are fine as long as the conditions are clear.
- Comment on When did Windows start going downhill? 5 weeks ago:
8.1 didn’t dial back the start screen, they only added the start button back.
8/8.1 was indeed faster than both 7 and 10. it flies on a core2duo with hdd.
- Comment on When did Windows start going downhill? 5 weeks ago:
xp’s new start menu was bad, at least they still had the old menu as an option until vista. but in 7 they removed that amd forced another menu. and in 8 replaced menu with a screen..
the pre-xp ‘classic’ menu was nice because you could customize everything

- Comment on Part 3: They said a phone can’t run without a battery. Unfortunately, Pettyl didn’t get the memo. 1 month ago:
nice phone! all of my phones i tested (with replacable battery) refuse to work without battery attached and almost instantly turns off if i ever detach it while running, even with power connected.

i’m starting to think these people either don’t read the post body and only the title. or they’re bots? lol.
- Comment on please recommend a simple selfhosted photo gallery 1 month ago:
because i don’t want to use podman/docker? if you read the OP and the rest of the thread you wouldn’t have posted this comment…

yeah, it’s only job is to serve photos yet it needs a whole linux container to run… i get why some people like it but i said it’s not what i want.
- Comment on please recommend a simple selfhosted photo gallery 1 month ago:
it’s not that the deployment process looks hard. it’s an extremely complex piece of software, something that only provides “container” (read: full linux image) method for deployment because it’s too complex to install manually. if something ever goes wrong inside that container, i won’t be able to fix it.
- Comment on please recommend a simple selfhosted photo gallery 1 month ago:
no, it’s more about that i don’t want a separate linux installation on my freebsd server, all with it’s useless attack surfaces and such. i want something lightweight, and i specifically mentioned immich isn’t what i want in the OP. yet you folks are all downvoting and trying to persuade me to try that. no, i’m not using that.
after hearing it a few times i’ve tried it before and it’s not what i want. even ignoring the server part i hate that clunky google photos ripoff web interface.
