  Now that’s awfully cool of you 😄. I’ll give that a spin with Symfonium this weekend; much obliged!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Opensubsonic server in Rust⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This sounds like a cool thing. Will it run on FreeBSD? If unknown, I will likely try and find out this weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which OS do you use for your homeserver?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TrueNAS Core as main OS and a few jails for the services I run on the machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republicans slam broadband discounts for poor people, threaten to kill program⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone not from the USA I am convinced, after reading many news articles over the past decades, that people voting for the GOP are either evil or too dumb to make any kind of impactful decision.

  For me it boils down to principles. You’re totally right and many companies I hate will have alot of my info due to others, but I’ll be damned if I cooperate with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some Walmart employees say customers are getting hostile at self-checkout — and they blame anti-theft tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be unlawful detention here. Also, what about people that go in and decide they don’t actually want to buy anything after all?

  It’s not like you’re trapped… you can just walk out if you want, but doing so without paying and carrying full bags may raise an eyebrow with employees. Although I think I could easily get away with that in my small village supermarket during quiet hours when nobody is paying attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pi.Alert picking up Docker networks and containers hosted on same server⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you run both Pi.Alert and Pi-hole, Pi.Alert will get the information on network devices from Pi-hole. The only way of I know of excluding active devices would be adding their MAC addresses to MAC_IGNORE_LIST in pialert.conf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's Web DRM is Worse than I Thought...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As a software developer for 20 years who hasn’t used Google in roughly 14 years, I can assure you that you don’t need it for development or looking up stuff :-). Give it a shot, do without for a week or two; DuckDuckGo works superb and the main reason most people think other search engines are worse is because their Google profile is trained to find stuff they tend to click on, like Meta does.

  When your employer uses Google software in development there’s obviously not much you can do there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's Web DRM is Worse than I Thought...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would it be difficult? The only Google service I use occasionally is YouTube and I can do without, honestly. My Android phone is free from Google stuff and I use DuckDuckGo for searching since it launched. I pay a small subscription fee for my email and cloud storage.

  And then I ran out of things I know people use Google for. Aside from YouTube (in EU and US) I am certain you can easily do without them. People just choose not to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion [2]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Trying to beat Tails of Iron on the hardest difficulty. The game was fun and somewhat challenging on normal and I did 100% it. The hardest difficulty feels random and just unfair at times and honestly isn’t very fun to play. But I’m determined and have reached the last area, so hopefully I’ll succeeded this weekend.
