Was using Mull and now with Iceraven. Add-on support for both has been awesome.
- Comment on Tube archivist + Jellyfin. Anyone have luck getting thumbnails and titles working? 6 days ago:
My wife is using Smarttube on a TV that has one of there Chromecast dongles, but our main LG TV doesn’t have that option.
I’ve been using FreeTube through Windows on a MiniPC, but it’s not an elegant solution. LOL It does work, though.
- Comment on Tube archivist + Jellyfin. Anyone have luck getting thumbnails and titles working? 6 days ago:
I’m using pinchflat
Well. I just installed it and the folder/file structure is definitely better! Now I have to figure out how to get Jellyfin to “see” the download directory. LOL
Thanks for pointing me to another solution.
- Comment on Tube archivist + Jellyfin. Anyone have luck getting thumbnails and titles working? 6 days ago:
do you re-watch enough YT videos that you need to archive your subscriptions?
Well, if I can get it working, I would much rather be watching via Jellyfin on my TV and not whatever crappy, privacy-invading, ad-shoving Youtube app I’m forced to use.
But realistically, I want to keep some how-to / maintenance videos archived, because I’ve lost track of how many times they went “private” and can’t be accessed anymore. Some really niche product use/maintenance videos tend to disappear.
I have no real interest in data hoarding vlogs or other crap. Just informational stuff.
- Comment on Tube archivist + Jellyfin. Anyone have luck getting thumbnails and titles working? 6 days ago:
Yes, that’s the first one I tried.
Maybe I’ll keep trying, but I don’t want to commit to tube archivist until it plays nice with jellyfin. 🤞

- Comment on Any way to update the software in Raspian without updating the OS? 2 weeks ago:
I appreciate that! Thanks.
- Comment on Any way to update the software in Raspian without updating the OS? 2 weeks ago:
I’d rather update anything that’s old, as long as it stays on the same OS version (Bullseye and not Bookworm).
With newer versions of Raspian or any version of Linux, there seems to be a software update GUI that makes this pretty easy, but I’m taking stabs in the dark with this legacy version.
- Comment on Any way to update the software in Raspian without updating the OS? 2 weeks ago:
Nothing on there says it needs a legacy version, but I may be overlooking something.
It took several attempts (with failures) to get it installed on the latest Raspian version, then after some digging I saw that the requirements said to use “An SD Card with the 64-bit version of RaspiOS installed (please use Bullseye)”.
With Bullseye installed, BirdNetPi works just fine, but it is old and comes with old software.

- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 2 weeks ago:
I pause videos to read what’s on screen.
An add-on that screenshots on pause would fix this. But yes, I understand the use-case as I do the same. Google doesn’t give a damn (about users).
- Comment on YouTube Tests Showing Ads When You Pause a Video, Calls it ''Pause Ads'' 2 weeks ago:
An add-on that simply overlays a black box when you pause is easy enough.
- Comment on Are there any privacy-friendly (including offline) AI detectors? 2 weeks ago:
0% AI detected.
It does rate on a scale, so it’s not always 100% or 0% (sometimes it is). But it has been very reliable in the tests I’ve done. Apparently, false positives are something like 0.2%.
- Comment on Are there any privacy-friendly (including offline) AI detectors? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve tested quite a few, and they seem extremely accurate. Even when fragments of text have been AI generated, they point those out.
I mean, some websites I’ve visited seem AI generated, and the verification sites simply confirm my suspicions.

- Comment on How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves? 2 weeks ago:
Synology user running some docker contains.
Very, very little maintenance. If there’s an update for something on docker, a simple click in the container manager, and it’s done. Yes, I can automate, but prefer to manually do these as many of the docker apps I use are in high development and I like to know what’s changing with each version.
Synology packages update easily, and the system updates happen only once in a while. A click and reboot.
I’ve tried to minimize things as much as possible, and to make things easier for me. One day, someone in my family will need to take over, and I don’t want to over-complicate things for them, lest they lose all our family photos, documents, etc.
I probably spend more time keeping the fans on my actual NAS clean of dust, than I do maintaining the software end of things. LOL
- Comment on PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022 2 weeks ago:
For sure, fair point. But we’re still talking millions, and far more than the guy was making at his previous, full-time job. In an interview, he said all he needed was $100 / day in sales to quit his full-time job… obviously, he exceeded that. LOL
- Comment on PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022 2 weeks ago:
So, not a great revenue stream for the developer
For context Nova Prime has over 5+ million paying users, and it’s $6 when I check the Play Store.
The dev was just a single guy, who later hired someone to help with support and artwork. But if $30 million in revenue wasn’t good enough, I’m not sure what else you could expect.
- Comment on PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022 2 weeks ago:
It pisses me off that apps I’ve paid for become tainted like this.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
What @LWD@lemm.ee said, but I do think it would be about profiling (for whatever reason), and the less they know, the better.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Each known user has a profile, which contains all known aliases, pronouns, connected accounts to other platforms such as Steam and GitHub, Discord servers joined, and public messages.
If you didn’t connect to those other platforms, used unique email and username, and lied about your pronouns and other info (i.e. age), how damaging could this be?
I’m forced to use discord, unfortunately, but none of the data they have on me would match my actual identity or other accounts (which all have unique emails and usernames anyway).
- Comment on My take on selfhosted photo management 1 month ago:
That’s a shame. Was this on iOS or Android?
How’s Immich running for you? It looks significantly more polished than when I last checked it out. I may give it a spin!
- Comment on My take on selfhosted photo management 1 month ago:
I’ve never had that issue on any of the devices it’s been installed on.
It’s asked me to log back in, but usually for reasons that would make sense.
On my device, I do use the Photos app quite often, so I’d know if there was a problem right away. My wife never opens her app, but I do check it from time to time to make sure that it’s still backing things up.
Alternatively, I believe the Synology Drive and Files apps also include backup functionality that might work better for you.
- Comment on How to Figure Out What Your Car Knows About You (and Opt Out of Sharing When You Can) 1 month ago:
I’m on your tram, but how long do you think it’ll be before all cars (and ebikes) are “connected”?
I can’t see myself buying a 90s car in 20 years.
- Comment on My take on selfhosted photo management 1 month ago:
I’m honestly so happy to be using Synology Photos. It reads my folder structure; leaves EXIF data alone; unless I want to change it (i.e. time/date); has great sort and search features; I can easily share photos/albums with people, even for them to add photos to my albums; and the mobile apps “just works” for viewing and backing up my photos and videos from multiple devices.
Yes, it’s “proprietary”, but it doesn’t hold your images hostage as something like a proprietary database would. I’m free to explore my photos using any third-party I like, simply by pointing to where they are stored on the NAS.
And while it has some OK subject recognition, I pair it with Exire Foto for mind-blowing, local AI-based search if I need to find something very specific in my collection of 125,000+ images.

This is too good to be true. How long until Google reverses this decision? 😂
- Comment on Linkwarden - An open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, organize and preserve webpages | March 2024 Update - Support for Sub-Collections, Bulk Actions, API Keys and more... 🚀 2 months ago:
Nope, everything is 1, 2, 3, etc. There’s no hint of what they contain.
If filenames took a simple version of the “name” set for each link, it would work be perfect.
Obviously, it could be even more useful to someone using tags if that were included in the filename, too. But just knowing what the PDF has in it would make the files useful outside linkwarden (i.e. in a document manager or system search).

Been using the self-hosted version for a few months(?) and like it.
My biggest concern when committing to something like this is data portability.
I do appreciate that it saves copies of PDF and PNG files in structured folders on my NAS, but I wish the file names matched what they have captured rather than 1.pdf, 2.pdf, etc.
It would instantly make Linkwarden 100% more useful to me.
- Comment on Proportion blog: Are security questions terrible for account security? 2 months ago:
When I’m asked for a security question, I let my password manager generate gibberish and use those as answers.
I can’t honestly think of a less secure way to “secure” an account, than being asked questions that anyone you know would be able to answer with little effort.
- Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood 2 months ago:
Nah, I grew up in the 90s and while we had video games and PC games, we also did a LOT of non video game activities.
Riding our bikes, sports, making shit in our parent’s garage, playing in a band, RISK board game nights, cinema, arcades, hanging out at the mall, rc cars.
I mean, there was almost no time to spend playing video games.
Today’s youth are missing a lot, and they are setting themselves up for a lifetime of mental health issues and the inability to be resilient through a lack of experiences.
My kids, fortunately, had at least part of their youth without a phone. I can’t imagine what disaster awaits kids who only know phones.
