Hello World!
- Comment on What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method? 8 months ago:
Weird! For reference one VM I run on only has 1 GB of memory, and Netdata uses 100-200 MB. Could be something going on with UnRAID though. Definitely some sort of bug I’d think, since normally resource usage should be very low across the board.
- Comment on What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method? 8 months ago:
That’s strange, I’ve run it fine on some very underpowered hardware. Are you adding a specific monitoring integration with it, or just out of the box settings?
- Comment on What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method? 8 months ago:
As others stated, you can run and access the interface directly for free. Cloud dashboard is also free for up to 5 nodes. They recently added a flat-rate “Homelab” plan as well, if you want to remove the limit. It’s all quite usable for $0 otherwise though!

I’m a huge fan of Netdata, very configurable and monitors just about anything you could want. Great interface and alerts too - www.netdata.cloud

It’s an installable PWA, click the … Menu in Chrome browser and choose “install”. Hope this helps!
- Comment on YSK: Social media platforms attach trackers to the end of share URLs (which you can and should delete) 11 months ago:
I use this installable web app for cleaning extra parameters from links - linkcleaner.app
Adds a share target to Android once you install it as well, makes it easy to send links to. Open source too!
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 1 year ago:
Agreed, I think the first game I saw this in was Tunic. It was a great addition!
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 1 year ago:
Right? When I was a kid I would specifically enjoy the “challenge” of trying to beat something over and over. Nowadays though… I just like playing a game for the experience. I still like feeling “progression”, so things go from difficult to easy as my character advances. But having to repeat something multiple times? Eh… just not my jam anymore.
- Comment on Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? 1 year ago:
That’s actually what I tend to do, but would be nice (for laziness) to have two different settings. Or for cases where games don’t allow adjustment after starting.
Funny you bring up Kena, because that is actually probably a prime example for me too. Loved the rest of the game, but the boss fights were a bit too difficult imo!

- Comment on Anyone have good memories of (or still belong to) a gaming clan? 1 year ago:
I played a ton of StarCraft back in the day! I was never too serious about joining a clan (just dabbled), but I now remember some of the things you mentioned with the chat rooms, and clan “tags”. I might be imagining it, but wasn’t there also some way to set colors on letters in names too (holding down alt and pressing numbers or something…) That might have honestly been my first experience with “bots” for things adjacent to games.
Good memories, thanks very much for sharing!
- Comment on Anyone have good memories of (or still belong to) a gaming clan? 1 year ago:
Wow, that’s a crazy coincidence! That “patron” system sounds pretty interesting too, seems like a good way to incentivize veterans to help new players. Interesting that I haven’t really heard of any more recent games having that (as far as I know).
- Comment on Anyone have good memories of (or still belong to) a gaming clan? 1 year ago:
That sounds amazing, it is good to hear there are still some groups that have kept in contact, even after all that time!
- Comment on Anyone have good memories of (or still belong to) a gaming clan? 1 year ago:
That’s awesome when you can organize an in-game group like that to achieve something you couldn’t do alone. Sounds like fun times for sure! :)

- Comment on [VERGE] Patreon has a new look for its next era 1 year ago:
It was a server-side block, from Cloudflare. I’m very familiar with it, having used the same service over a decade. You are able to tweak the overall security level, or specific WAF rules in Cloudflare. They also have analytics that will show them exactly how many cancellation requests would be blocked. The fact that they totally ignored these details in my ticket, is concerning.
- Comment on [VERGE] Patreon has a new look for its next era 1 year ago:
Maybe, but it would also be very easy to blame on misconfiguration / mistake. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if the behavior itself isn’t purposeful, but ignoring / not fixing it is. I’ve definitely seen such behavior at other companies, where they drag their feet on fixing a bug that is bad for the user, but helping them.
- Comment on [VERGE] Patreon has a new look for its next era 1 year ago:
On a related note… I went to cancel a membership a few weeks back, and the site displayed a message “you don’t have an active membership to cancel”. I thought it was strange, so I checked out the network requests being made, and turned out the cancel API call was getting blocked for “security reasons”. Nothing else on the site was blocked for me, just the cancellation endpoint.
I opened a ticket, and it took them nearly 2 weeks to respond, and there was zero acknowledgement on why cancellation would be blocked.
Not sure if it’s a purposeful dark pattern, but it sure seems like it!

Worth noting that this should not affect you if you are only using tunnels (no DNS entries / open ports).
- Comment on Starfield has some beautiful landscapes! 1 year ago:
Just makes me wonder if the same thing happens in other communities. Say someone posts a photo of a National Park, are there replies how they’ve hiked most of the trails at that park and decided it’s not worth visiting?
I can see both sides too, “well we are informing people about the cons of that park, so they aren’t eaten by the vicious bears!”. I get that, I do! You have an opinion you want to share, nothing really wrong with that. Does that understanding make it enjoyable for me as the person just sharing the photo? Not so much…😂
- Comment on Starfield has some beautiful landscapes! 1 year ago:
I can never tell if comments like this are a joke. Starfield has tons of issues, don’t get me wrong, but I’m still playing it because I’m having fun. Why put 80 hours into something if you aren’t enjoying it?

Sorry, not that I know of! Poor phrasing on my part, should have said “more excited than if there were a Portal 3 announcement”.
- Comment on The Talos Principle 2 | Release Date Trailer | Available November 2 | PC | PS5 | XSX/S 1 year ago:
I’m honestly more excited about this than a Portal 3 announcement! :) Loved both the puzzles and the story / vibe of the first one!
- Comment on Self-hosted app to view sever health? 1 year ago:
Netdata is fantastic, but not sure I’d call the UI mobile friendly (unless I’m missing something? 😂) To me, that’s really one of the only weak points with it.

- Comment on Liability for AI damages? 1 year ago:
It isn’t how it works today. I’m talking about sometime in the distant (or near) future. Surely at some point AI will have the capabilities on par with at least a low level hacker.
Or, if you still think that’s a stretch, just imagine all the ways perfectly legitimate software can cost companies money. Not through malicious design, but just by mistakes.

- Comment on Anyone remember Xfire? 1 year ago:
There are some archives of the service here -
wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Xfire
Supposedly most of the videos, and 20% of the screenshots?
- Comment on Anyone remember Xfire? 1 year ago:
It was definitely ahead of its time! Not really sure why it faded away, I guess pressure from Steam (pun intended), and games moving to private in-game server browsers? Along with many other options for voice chat.
