- Comment on I liked Fusion 360, I like Onshape - but I'd rather like something that I won't lose over the whims of one company. So, what? 1 hour ago:
Freecad mainline.
The feature freeze is on and they have a UI overhaul and a Topological Naming Problem fix.
I am using the 0.22 dev version with the fix and oh boy it makes a huge difference. Obviously deleting a face where there was a feature attached to results in an error still. It makes it viable to use the mainline instead of realthunder fork.

Baldur’s gate is 20% off. Definitely definitely worth the price
- Comment on Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked? 4 days ago:
Then use Wireguard to get into your local network. Simple as. All security risks that don’t need to be accessed by the public (document servers, ssh, internal tools, etc…) can be accessed via VPN while the port forwarded servers are behind a reverse proxy, TLS, and an authentication layer like Authelia/authentik for things that only a small group needs to access.
Sorry, but there is 1 case in 10000 where a home user would have to have publicly exposed SSH and 9999 cases of 10000 where it is not needed at all and would only be done out of laziness or lack of knowledge of options.
- Comment on Cloudflare is bad. Youre right. 4 days ago:
Woah, let’s not be hasty. A few big tech companies are really good at their jobs…
Let’s not forget the dozens of big tech companies run by absolute morons that bring products that nobody wants or needs and only stay afloat due to legacy, stealing data & selling it, and/or venture capital.
- Comment on current best HDD-model choice 1 week ago:
Definitely Red plus. They are quiet as hell and 12TB+ are helium filled.
Just got a 12TB a while ago and it is as quiet as my 4TB drives.
But for OP, just use software raid instead of hardware raid. There is very little point for homelabbers using hardware raid at this point without an existing setup.
- Comment on Samsung mocks Apple’s crushing iPad Pro ad with its own ‘UnCrush’ pitch 1 month ago:
It was just copied frame by frame from LG 16 years before.
The death of creativity is very apt considering they had no creativity making it, they just stole it and remade it.
- Comment on Apple, SpaceX, Microsoft return-to-office mandates drove senior talent away 1 month ago:
They don’t want people to innovate. Innovation is a buzzword that they use to market themselves as something other than parasites.
Most companies want to safely follow market trends to suck away large profit margin with minimal payout to workers. If they make a product that doesn’t work, they just assert that it does and that the customer is wrong.
That’s also why they intentionally quiet fire seniors like in the article. They don’t give a fuck about quality or innovation. They want the cheapest labor possible while hiking service/product pricing.
They don’t want employees to be happy. They want them to be cheap and exploitable.
That is literally the base form of businesses in capitalism.

If you want to mirror the entire system, OS and all, then clonezilla is the best option.
- Comment on What's your go-to "Bang for your Buck" filament brand? 1 month ago:
My favorite webshop tinytronics.nl (very little markup on their electronics unlike almost every competitor)
And they have both Azurefilm and Devil Design. I was debating on which to try. Sounds like J should go devil design
- Comment on Immich x FUTO Q&A 1 month ago:
What is Futo? Their website says absolutely nothing besides their “company values.”
What is their business model?
Who is running it?
How do they earn money to give out?
What do they ask in return besides hoarding the trademarks?
Flat fee is always good, but I am always skeptical about these sort of completely opaque, altruistic companies that often turn into not-so-altruistic companies after they see more profit capabilities.
- Comment on Google Fit APIs get shut down in 2025, might break fitness devices 1 month ago:
It’s very sad that polar products don’t work. Their heart rate monitor bands are the absolute gold standard for activity heart rate monitoring. Correlate the best with professional equipment out of any monitor including the apple watch.
That being said, amazing initiative. An open source api bridge like this and openRGB make everyone’s life 10x easier!
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 1 month ago:
It ends when trump popularizes his shitty brain microchip and the engineers figure out technology to project image and sound into your head.
24/7 unmodifiable banner ads, ads while you sleep, ads related to what you see that cover your vision until you pay an extra subscription fee, then just border ads.
That is the future that musk and tech BoDs cum in their pants for.
The consumer advertising industry is a scourge of humanity. The dregs of the groveling worms.
- Comment on What's a good graphics card for jellyfin? 1 month ago:
www.tomshardware.com/reviews/…/5
Blows the 6950XT and 3090 out of the water in transcoding performance. I would say that is performing very well. That was before drivers have gotten much much better too probably a bigger difference now.
- Comment on What's a good graphics card for jellyfin? 1 month ago:
I have one, it is fantastic.
Someone said that it is “not terribly performent” but it doesn’t matter for transcoding. It can do multiple 4k streams of AV1 & HEVC. That is perfect.
According to benchmarks, it beat the 3080 and 6800XT when it was released for transcoding performance. That is what you have to look at in this case, you aren’t gaming on it.
Just remember to enable all of the correct kernel modules to get it working. You often have to manually download the firmware git repo and move it to the firmware folder in Debian to get it working.
- Comment on Self-hosted Jellyfin CPU or GPU for 4K HDR transcoding? 1 month ago:
Compatibility and storage.
Do you want only 2 devices of the 10 your family possibly owns to work?
Do you want your family to complain that jellyfin “isn’t as good as Netflix/Disney+/etc…” Because it constantly stops to buffer and a can’t keep up the framerate?
It is completely fine if you are single and have 1-2 devices that work with AV1 and h.265 client side and that is all you need, but then you don’t have to bother with transcoding. When you start letting other people into it, compatibility becomes an issue.
As for storing it beforehand, the entire point of AV1 and HEVC is to significantly reduce the size on disk. If you have to store 10 versions or each file, 5 resolutions each, half h.264, then you are taking up about 20x the space per file compared to 1 copy
A transcode GPU like the A380 or new QSV compatible CPU is MUCH cheaper than a new good quality 12TB drive lol
- Comment on Elon Musk Laid Off Supercharger Team After Taking $17 Million in Federal Charging Grants 1 month ago:
Government grants should come with government share % of the company.
Or at least with heavy requirements and obligations like every government “grant” for normals people.

Swedish city names, but only the ones with pure english characters to avoid hassel 😅
Kiruna
Halmstad
Lund
Etc…
- Comment on what's your fav recipe manager? 2 months ago:
Mealie is absolutely the best
-
Home Assistant integration
-
SSO through OIDC (though mine is broken and I need to file a but)
-
meal planning functionality with shopping checklists
-
equipment checklists
-
advanced grouping through tagging, cookbooks, and categories. Everything can be beautifully sorted
-
then the holy grail: recipe parsing through URL. I haven’t found recipe parsing this good since the discontinued ChefTap app

- Comment on Should I or should I not use a VLAN? I have trouble understanding the benefits for home use 2 months ago:
Yeah, for that threat model, a VLAN is not needed in my opinion:
-
esphome devices are for sure not data collecting and pihole will block most of the phone homes with a good block list, where possible (like simple smart devices) they are flashed with a local open source version. Still the vast majority are KNX and Zwave which are local only
-
video cameras are local-only always and have completely blocked internet access via the router
-
This is probably the biggest threat unpreventable in other ways. Though definitely citation needed for them actually being caught recording conversations lol. People think phones do that too, but it is simply a lot easier (and more importantly, cheaper with a much higher ROI) to make a complete data picture through search/watch history + proximity to other devices.

- Comment on Should I or should I not use a VLAN? I have trouble understanding the benefits for home use 2 months ago:
Yes, that is why I gave an example of how i thought it worked, but i have a single physical server with *arr suite, HA, reverse proxy, and all of my other services.
If it is a near physical separation of traffic, how can 1 device with 1 MAC and 1 IP be isolated on multiple parts of the VLAN?

- Comment on Authelia + Bitwarden + other selfhosted stuff 2 months ago:
If you are looking for user management and registration, then Authelia is the wrong software for you.
Authelia is a very light weight security layer (and more recently SSO) that is only meant for few users precisely because it doesn’t have an onboarding process, dynamic access control, and more advanced features. Everything is done through config files and secrets. The admin has to manually create a file or plaintext lines with the user and password for each new user and restart the container.
Authentik is what you want if you want a bunch of users and new user sign up.
As for bitwarden/SSO, they should be fully separate. Otherwise you will likely break Bitwarden app and browser integration functionality.
You also do not want to run into the case where you don’t know your SSO password so you can’t get into bitwarden to find the password and you are screwed.
Bitwarden, TOTP method, and SSO should ideally be separate and you should be able to access your passwords and TOTP without requiring any password that is exclusively in the Bitwarden database.
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 2 months ago:
I think OP would be good to watch the first season of the Good Place. There is a character on there that is obsessed with making the correct decision and argues so much with himself and others over every tiny nuance that could shift the balance that he never acts on anything at all unless forced.
As you said, fence sitting is in an of itself an action, almost always to the detriment of the topic at hand.
- Comment on Do you encrypt your data drives? 2 months ago:
I think he is saying that his physical attack surface is very small since he is remote, so maybe he doesn’t bother?
Either way, encrypting drives is simply always good if you ever resell the computer or upgrade drives.
- Comment on Migrate from nextcloud photo backups to immich? 2 months ago:
The only problem there is that, at least a whole ago, you will get duplicate images. Between the external library and your app upload
- Comment on Pause alerts during the night 2 months ago:
Maybe that is a new android thing or a Samsung thing? That phrase doesn’t show up in my settings.
2 years ago, my mother and I tested it extensively when I moved trying all of the “allowing app” settings combined with starred people and it never worked for whatsapp, only stock dialer and texts.
- Comment on Pause alerts during the night 2 months ago:
True, but if you are not from America, many many people use VOIP calling on apps like WhatsApp to call.
DnD priority overrides don’t work for that.
- Comment on 12TB for $80 - serverpartdeals.com 2 months ago:
A 12 TB drive is literally 300€ now.
I don’t think it was EVER 100€ for a 12TB, certainly not helium filled. Prices during covid went up, but not even near 3x for hard dives.
- Comment on Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets 2 months ago:
Yes and they sold shitty generic bluetooth earbuds that they pulled from the market a year and a half later with 0 support when they were almost ready to launch their Bluetooth headphones.
- Comment on what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion 2 months ago:
Can’t be hit by new backdoors when your packages haven’t had updates for years 😉
In all seriousness Debian makes solid choices that makes everything as low maintenance as it can get for self hosting.
For someone who recently lost a bunch of their free time, that is amazing to not have to mess with stuff.
