Linus did 3 videos on “how to degoogle your life” and only 1 was taken down. That one told people how to circumvent YouTube’s platform and monetary system which violated the community guidelines.

It will stay up. Do you know how many YouTube videos there are badmouthing Google? They don’t care so long as you’re watching them.

Over 80 chemicals!
What bullshit scaremongering is this? There’s like 80 chemicals in a banana. Some of them are even radioactive!

Kids… You ever wonder how “rar” came about?
Usenet had limits on its text only post size as well.

Peers can connect to your subplebbit using any plebbit client, such as Plebchan or Seedit. They only need the subplebbit’s address, which is not stored in any central database, as plebbit is a pure peer-to-peer protocol.
Do I need a new plumbus or will my existing one work?

- Comment on What are the benefits of a server having multiple public IP addresses? 3 weeks ago:
You got the basic idea from other posters, but there’s also a lot of weird crap in there as well.
Basically you only need multiple IPs when dealing with services that only really operate on “well known ports”. DNS and SMTP being the usual culprits. For most home users there this is no big deal - even if you wanted to host those services it’s unlikely that you would need more than one ip to do so. HTTP solved this in '97 with HTTP/1.1 which allowed for host headers, which let’s a single server host multiple sites.
This isn’t something new that nginx solved. 😂
- Comment on What are the benefits of a server having multiple public IP addresses? 3 weeks ago:
By “modern” do you mean “the late 90s”? HTTP 1.1 was adopted in '97 and allowed for the host header. NAT and port forwarding have been around since '94 - 2000ish.
Many services worked on any ports at the time as well. SMTP and DNS are probably the only ones that were (and remain) difficult to run on non-standard ports.

I guess that’s “a lot simpler” than 6 lines of config?

Kids seem to think host name based routing is "new’… It worked fine in the 2000s with Apache.
- Comment on Software for Homeserver router combo 4 weeks ago:
Generally speaking I would avoid combining critical networking infrastructure with other services. Just from a reliability standpoint.
Let your router be just a router. Simple = reliable.

- Comment on How do you document your Homelab? 5 weeks ago:
I build my infrastructure with the terraform, Ansible and helm charts. The code is it’s own documentation as well as comments in that code explaining why I’ve done things if it’s not obvious.
- Comment on What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server? 5 weeks ago:
That very much depends on what you want it to do (what is “everything”) and how many users you have.

Maybe a limited number of skips per hour or something.

My only real concern with the whole thing is that there’s no rubber isolators on them which could cause issues longterm.
The number of times I’ve ran a system with a hard drive just sitting on the floor of the computer without issues…
- Comment on MicroOS: Rootless podman? 1 month ago:
i try to make a new non-root user, but podman just keeps complaining about privileges when i run it under that user.
If you’re asking for help about an error message, then provide the error message rather than describing it in vague terms. There are many privileges it could be complaining about.

Too much what exactly? Don’t use the functionality you don’t want.

First - I’d like you to reconsider you use of “grandma” as a stand-in for “somebody who is technically illiterate”. Maybe ask yourself why “grandpa” is not the go-to here and whether you may be perpetuating an ugly stereotype.
Second - I actually included handbrake in my list as an easier alternative to use.
- Comment on C4illin/ConvertX: Self-hosted online file converter that supports 1000+ formats 1 month ago:
Yeah, I could see that.
- Comment on C4illin/ConvertX: Self-hosted online file converter that supports 1000+ formats 1 month ago:
I’m genuinely confused about the use cases you all seem to have. When are you sitting in a field on your phone trying desperately to convert a .avi to a .mkv?
For desktops you just need to have ffmpeg or handbrake or ImageMagick installed - there’s nothing to “maintain”. Image conversion is as simple as
convert test.jpg test.png. - Comment on C4illin/ConvertX: Self-hosted online file converter that supports 1000+ formats 1 month ago:
Why would anyone setup and maintain a server to do infrequent conversions of small files?
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 1 month ago:
Notice that it hasn’t amongst mainstream consumers.
Good. Mainstream consumers don’t understand enough about networking and computer security to be trusted to self-host anything beyond desktop applications.

Yeah, this whole “Linux server” thing just isn’t going to take off.
- Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files? 2 months ago:
Many “self hosters” simply aren’t comfortable with the basics and expect things to be just an app you install. A simple two-tier app/db architecture is too complex for them (hence the prevalence of sqllite these days).
I’ve run nextcloud for many years and was simply surprised to hear that it’s “difficult to manage and slow”. My experience has been quite the contrary - it’s been easy to keep up to date and has never failed an upgrade or lost data. And it performs “well enough” since I don’t use low-cost hardware for servers.
My only complaint is that I need to run occ from a terminal rather than having a web interface for it. Makes running it in a k8s pod kinda annoying.
- Comment on Incremental backups to optical media: tar, dar, or something else? 2 months ago:
This is the sort of thing bacula was made for - physical backups spread out over multiple removable media (tapes mostly, but it can work with optical drives).
www.bacula.org/free-tape-backup-software/
It tracks where it puts your files, so it does have its own db that also needs backing up. But if you want to restore without needing to search manually through dozens of disks this is what you need.
