- Comment on Security considerations about hosting Immich from home 1 week ago:
Definitely put it behind Netbird.
Also. I have a Jellyfin instance that I share with family, where I actually can’t put all of their client devices behind Netbird.
For that case, I used Netbird’s reverse proxy feature. So technically the Jellyfin instance is exposed to the public internet. HOWEVER, Netbird allows you to block or allow certain IP addresses. So while my Jellyfin instance is technically on the public internet, it’s only accessible from 1 specific public IP.
Otherwise, if you’re on the Netbird VPN, then the domain I have set resolves to the internal IP.
- Comment on Toilets: to caulk or not to caulk? 1 week ago:
TIL, thanks! I do have flooring I have to install soonish….. It seems DIY-friendly so that’s interesting. Although, hm. Not sure about the drawbacks. Good to know about.

What’s floating flooring?

Beautiful!
- Comment on What are your thoughts on pool management apps? 1 week ago:
For our pool I have a sand filter and a salt water chlorinator that basically handles everything for me though.
Wow. That sounds like a nice dream to me. I’m constantly adding chemicals to my pool. I think things are starting to settle into: need to dump a gallon of chlorine every 2 or 3 days.
- Comment on Email ownership, I give up. 1 week ago:
Yeah, hosting your own email server is pretty tough.
I think something like https://migadu.com/ might be more in the middle of hosting your own server and purely using someone else’s frontend.
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 2 weeks ago:
dick move.
Which users are doing that so I can block them?
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 2 weeks ago:
Also it’s reasonable to think discussion forums are in some sense ephemeral
This is 100% wrong. This isn’t Discord or chat. People expect forums to appear in online search results, i.e. be persistent.
- Comment on What are your thoughts on pool management apps? 3 weeks ago:
Pool management sucks… I got my pool from green back to blue, but it’s been hard work. Tons of research, almost daily chores, tons of testing, TONS of money spent.
It’s definitely nice to use it when I can though.
But, still. It’s better to know someone who owns a pool, rather than owning the pool yourself.

I recently found out my wax ring for my toilet was leaking. I noticed because water started leaking out from the base of the toilet. When I lifted the toilet, I found the wax ring almost entirely intact. The entire ring was very black.
That’s why I made this post. Because I have leaky wax rings.
I bought this house 5 years ago. 🤷 IDK why things started failing now.
- Comment on Do I belong in tech anymore? - On quitting, the spread of AI, and the loss of an ideal. 1 month ago:
Exactly what I’m feeling… I don’t know of any companies that aren’t drinking the koolaid. My friend recently got laid off. He suspects it was because it was constantly pushing back on AI slop from other engineers.
I’ve been skipping the AI questions on recent company surveys… a few days ago, my manager directly asked me for “my thoughts on AI” during our 1:1… kinda freaked me out… I didn’t say anything bad about AI, but I also wasn’t gushing over how much I love AI (I hate AI)… I feel like they’re watching me a little more closely now… I’m going to start answering that I love AI on our surveys now… 😢
I don’t feel like they genuinely care about discovering if AI works. The AI questions are usually like: “Do you like AI?” and the answers are like “A: Yes”, “B: FUCK YES”, or “C: omg please more AI!”

Huh, just from browsing the homepage, this seems to be more for searching local files.

- Comment on So I noticed a leak... and found mold... 1 month ago:
Oh, good! That’s exactly what I got!
That insulation needs to go too.
Yep.
- Comment on So I noticed a leak... and found mold... 1 month ago:
Yeah, I believe I’ve removed the leak… see the plastic bag to the left? That’s where a toilet used to be. I’m fairly certain the toilet was leaking… for months… (and I’m an idiot who didn’t associate the smell with mold). The leak made it into the adjacent closet.
Phase one: Remove drywall, carpet, tile. Remediate the mold.
Phase two: Install a new toilet (I didn’t install the previous one.)
The old toilet had a blackened… hardened wax ring. Anyway, that’s a whole different project. Focusing on the mold for now.
