- Comment on How is everyone dealing with Android 17's "Nearby Devices" change? 4 days ago:
My solution is LineageOS as it functions on dozens if not a couple hundred phones. Rocking a One+ currently.
- Comment on Is there a self-hosted Family Link server? 1 week ago:
Nothing really exists.
The likely extreme thing I did was setup ManageEngine’s MDM+ (free for<25 users) and put my sons phone on a “device profile” which locks it down. It’s decently intuitive, but does require a “server” so there’s a bit of setup too. I use YT at work too so for me it was done in 30 minutes.
- Comment on How to physically isolate a camera with OpenWRT, tagged VLANs and Docker 3 weeks ago:
On older hardware I would agree it can be cumbersome. At work, I’ve swapped everything to Ubiquiti and it’s a couple clicks and I’m there. I liked it so much I did it at home with some caveats. Local account only and blocking anything phoning home.
I’ve got Chinese cameras too, they’re on their own VLAN,ext traffic is blocked simply.
- Comment on How to physically isolate a camera with OpenWRT, tagged VLANs and Docker 3 weeks ago:
I’m going to go out in a limb and die on it, that: why overcomplicate things with Docker containers?? I didn’t read through your post; The title, to me, doesn’t require it based on what you’re doing. I then read you’re Problem box and confirmed you don’t need NVR on Docker. Seems overkill or really, pointless.
A. Do you absolutely NEED the VLAN for your NVR? Why not just isolate the devices on the network with a bogus DNS record or FW rule blocking via MAC or IP? B. Why run NVR through Docker? I hate devs who only containerize and don’t allow for options. Deal killer, personally. But it it has a native option, why not run that? It’s just extra steps for traffic to pass through which feels like a complicated bottleneck.
Idk, you do you. I’m SURE I’ll get hate for this comment, but sometimes you need to take a steep back and think about what’s necessary vs what’s for fun for learning. I’d you can, hey great! If you can’t, or it breaks, how much time do you now want to spend learning how to troubleshoot?
- Comment on Replacing Cloudflare Tunnel with a Selfhosted Towonel Tunnel 4 weeks ago:
Why keep DNS on Cloudflare?? Quad9 is where it’s at! Supports DNSSEC, DoT or DoH, QUIC, no log, no BS.
Want it on your phone out and about (and not already using a VPN?) dns.quad9.com/dns-query or use the app.
- Comment on Dying of prosperity, 14TB HDD left unused 1 month ago:
I have around 130TB redundant and it wouldn’t equate to Netflix. Though I store in higher quality than most, but you’d need low quality like 720p utilizing h.265 or AV1 to save space to hold all that. Likely anything you download would be h.264 so you’d need to convert all that media too.

- Comment on Reliable messenger for family use? 2 months ago:
Try Simplex on Yunohost. I mean, it’s about as clean/quick as can be iirc. Simplex has the lead in security, but I recall the app stating they couldn’t keep servers funded and are shutting down. So you might need to run your own to be on the safe side.
Signal had privacy problems?? Maybe using Google play notifications? I download the apk to be Google free, works on my lineage OS just fine without micro g.
XMPP, if you’re all within the same ecosystem vs SMS or RCS chat (which only carriers services support), it’ll use OMEMO encryption and is e2e encryption. I host my own instance to have a little extra control. And that’s on top of everything else secure about it. Anyway, I believe you can enable traffic over Tor for XMPP, but I do not have that bc it breaks voice calls.
- Comment on Reliable messenger for family use? 2 months ago:
SimpleX is going away I thought. Any reason you don’t want to use Signal, or setup XMPP/Jabber/Snikket/Prosody, etc.

Right, OK, it’s not very common so I wasnt sure its context

Why does this start with Meta? What does Meta have to do with it?
- Comment on I got sick of PDFsam Pro ads and built a free PDF merger that runs entirely in your browser 2 months ago:
IP is fine, they just didn’t buy a domain to point to it.
I’d maybe feel better if there was some sort of repo to show the code.
I personally despise everything moving to browser based, and I intentionally steer everyone in my org to Outlook Classic as well as physical apps where it makes sense. This is all going the way of, “You will own nothing and be happy”.
Like people who don’t want to give up on hard cover books (my wife), there’s something about having the physical copy that feels good. Even though software isn’t physical, I’m more so talking locally installed and perpetually licensed or, better yet, FOSS.

- Comment on Keep Android Open (Stop Google from limiting APK file usage) 2 months ago:
I don’t get it, how tf they gonna stop you on phones that already exist?
A. You can disable any new OS or device updates from Google.
B. You can keep your existing phone on Android 16 or prior (hell, I’m on 12)
C. Use alt OS like Graphene, Lineage, Iodé, /e/OS, CalyxOS (they’re back!!), etc
D. Sign out of Google on your phone, install F-Droid or something from APK package on FF derived browser.
I’m sure on brands new devices with that patch, plus anyone who doesn’t disable the auto updates will be blocked. But no way no how can Google stop us all!! 🖕🖕🏻🖕🏿🖕🏼
