Do they publish their protocol or how it works anywhere? Their site didn’t seem to have much technical info at first glance
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 4 weeks ago:
You should also ask for a copy of the pictures or videos it takes while scanning so you can reference when returning.

Who’s gonna control the CAs though? Or root dns? there are alternative p2p versions, but I haven’t seen any good ones yet…
- Comment on Recommendations for a version control system 4 weeks ago:
I’m currently using forgejo and have no complaints.
Depending on your requirements, you might also consider just using regular git and ssh on a central server somewhere.
- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 4 weeks ago:
Your readme looks super in depth, thanks for that! I haven’t watched the video yet but will later.
I didn’t see it mentioned from a quick glance, but is either sftp or ftps supported?
- Comment on Trying to make a phone proxy 5 weeks ago:
Have you used jmp.chat before? It looks pretty interesting at first glance
- Comment on Join the Reel Reapers Discord Server! 5 weeks ago:
No.
- Comment on Dedicated service user or not ? 1 month ago:
What kind of annoying things are you dealing with?
You don’t have to put the user home in /var/lib either if that helps at all.
If you’re already running rootless, I’d keep doing that unless there’s a really good reason not to.

Works fine for me so far from steam on linux.

Self hosted and open source projects are successful if you enjoy it or are solving something you need. Bonus points if it helps someone else too.
- Comment on Syncthing alternatives 2 months ago:
What about Nextcloud? It’s heavier than syncthing, but would be an alternative.
- Comment on Self Hosted Trello with experience? 2 months ago:
I went through a bunch before settling on Kanboard. If you try kanboard, there are some plugins/themes to make it look nicer.
In the end though, I ended up moving away from it. Would be curious what you end up using!
- Comment on Garage - S3-compatible Object Storage alternative to Minio 2 months ago:
I really like it. I don’t use it for much, but it’s super easy to have multiple servers in multiple locations and let it take care of replication.
It seemed like it was built more for the self hosting and homelab crowd and not enterprises.
- Comment on AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it? 2 months ago:
But that’s also something easily programmed/scripted. How would you tell the difference?
- Comment on how to set up a remote managed node for mom 2 months ago:
Yep, you can install it directly on the proxmox host too.
Just make sure you test it and also test upgrades so you can avoid having to be on-site for those.
- Comment on Github Discussion: Allow us to block Copilot-generated issues (and PRs) from our own repositories #159749 3 months ago:
I dont remember the name of it, but there were tools that could store issues inside of git. It’d be hard to keep it in sync with everybody without a central repo, but maybe not much harder than keeping the code in sync too.
- Comment on TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo 3 months ago:
Lemmy is all public. There’s no private timelines, so any 2way block would be superficial anyway right? A blocked user can just log out, or use a different account on a different instance. It’d give people a false sense of security if anyone said bidirectional blocking was a thing.
Something like Twitter could have bidirectional blocking because you can also make all of your posts private.

Who (which single entity) would host this new front page?
- Comment on Secrets Management 3 months ago:
Is it a single server? Maybe something like sops is all you need
There’s an oss fork of vault now as well. Openbao.
- Comment on self hosted browser sync? 3 months ago:
I forgot about librewolf. Any downsides to it over Firefox?
- Comment on Fediverse Searching 3 months ago:
Any idea how it knows which sites to look through? It’d be cool to have it prefer your own home instance in results.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 months ago:
One of the lemmy devs is also working on a federated wiki. On mobile, so no link, but i think it’s Ibis?
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 months ago:
Would you prefer something limited to searching federated content, or something closer to yacy where it crawls normal websites too?
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 months ago:
I’m happy to see people post about something cool they found, like some new software or whatever. Even if everyone else already knows about it and no one interacts, it’s not useless information.
- Comment on Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse? 3 months ago:
I’d be curious if schools still teach kids how to look things up in books, or if writing reports is now a thing they ask chatgpt to do

I don’t know how to feel about that video being 17 years old
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 3 months ago:
I think gnucash looking more like actual accounting software is one of the things that originally put me off of it. I didn’t know what double-entry accounting was at the time either.
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 3 months ago:
Totally fair. When you have a lot of history in an app and don’t have any real issues with it, it takes a lot to want to switch to something else.
Do you import transactions at all, or just manually input them?
- Comment on Finance / Investment self-hosted apps? 3 months ago:
I switched from ledger to beancount at some point. I don’t really remember what features beancount had over ledger anymore though.
My plan is to try a few of the other suggestions here like Maybe, Actual, Ghostfolio, etc, and if I don’t end up liking them - just bite the bullet and make the effort to pick up beancount again. I’ll have to check out ledger vs beancount again though and see what the actual differences were again.
