This is why Youtube Music lasted a total of one day of me testing it a while ago (this was when I had Premium for a while and figured might as well test it). Insane to have a scroll view that expands as you scroll down instead of a fixed-size list.

I’ve started buying music
- Comment on Study: US kids who said their social media, phone, or video game use was “addictive” were 2x-3x more likely to have thoughts of suicide or self-harm by age 14 1 week ago:
Oh gee I wonder why depressed kids are increasingly online where they are more free to express themselves, in a society where mental health problems are very stigmatized and confiding in someone that you want to kill yourself can get you imprisoned.
Also, related post on the general concept of internet addiction and
gamblingsocial media addiction.going to bat for the concept of internet addiction as someone under 80 is spectacularly funny
damn people are spending a lot of time on the combination newspaper/public square/vast searchable library of incomprehensible amounts of information/storefront/private communications/some people’s actual job technology. presumably there is some nefarious Scary Pathological Aspect to this,
Imagine if you called gambling addiction “addiction to going outside” and doomed the discourse to constantly bounce between “ok SOME outside activities are bad, you need to have a good relationship with how you interact” and “theres nothing wrong with going outside dumbass”
“gambling addiction” is an invention of the gambling industry leveraged to pathologise the human misery inflicted on purpose as part of their business model and divert discussions of that misery and suffering away from regulatory and political interventions that could prevent that harm and towards biomedicalized management of those experiencing that (again–foreseeable, inevitable, industry-working-as-intended) harm

It’s a thing in Bavaria as well. I’m trying to erase it from my vocabulary because I hate it too.

Yeah! To add to this:
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 3 weeks ago:
Hm, okay, that does sound like the real client IP will get lost and every connection will appear to come from the proxy then. It would be good if that were passed somehow. My current setup adds the X-Forwarded-For header for example.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 3 weeks ago:
Oh interesting, I’ll have to look into that. Is this with that “proxy protocol” I’ve seen mentioned? If not, does this preserve it pass through the client socket address?
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 3 weeks ago:
Tbf, technically data is still decrypted at the reverse proxy and then re-encrypted. So if someone manages to reconfigure the proxy or read its memory somehow they could read traffic in plain text.
However then since they have to control the VPS, they could also get a new cert for that domain (at least the way I’ve configured it) even if it was passed as is to the real host via a tunnel and read the plaintext data that way, so I don’t think a tunnel protects against anything.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 3 weeks ago:
If someone manages to get root (!) access on this VPS it’s over either way.
- Comment on Best way to get IPv4 connectivity to my self-hosted services 3 weeks ago:
Yes, you can just use a reverse proxy for IPv4 only and point it to the IPv6 upstream. That is what I do, with a separate DNS record which then combines the two. See the DNS records for id.knifepoint.net (CNAME), http.vineta.knifepoint.net (AAAA, A) and vineta.knifepoint.net (AAAA).
- Comment on Of course you had to have a binder to store them 3 weeks ago:
I’ve started doing this recently. It’s fun, I’m also scanning the album covers and manually typing in the lyrics from the booklet in the CD in addition to all the other track metadata haha
- Comment on What are the benefits of a server having multiple public IP addresses? 3 weeks ago:
Two different rDNS names, for stuff that uses it. For example if you want to run mail and an IRC bouncer under different domain names.

One notification like this and your app immediately gets notification permission revoked on my phone (if not uninstalled).
- Comment on FBI Wants Access To Encrypted iPhone And Android Data—So Does Europe 4 weeks ago:
I guess it was wishful thinking that the FBI just learnt their lesson regarding encryption with the Chinese phone line hack. Bastards
- Comment on Microsoft wants Windows Update to handle all apps 4 weeks ago:
Is that Outlook or Outlook (New)?
- Comment on Self hosting email, FLOSS, Python ... 5 weeks ago:
Tbh I haven’t had too many problems with Postfix – however it is certainly a footgun and it would be nice to have fewer parts to connect together, and better defaults. I might try it out, it looks interesting.
- Comment on Self hosting email, FLOSS, Python ... 5 weeks ago:
From its web page it sounds like it is both a MTA and MDA, has a built-in spam filter, plus has calendar, contacts and file storage. Do you know how it compares to my current setup of Postfix, Dovecot, and rspamd (and Nextcloud for the others)?
- Comment on After a lengthy legal battle and billion-dollar loss, 'Fortnite' is back on iOS 5 weeks ago:
But look at the typical apple user. Do you think they’re going to be happy without the apple experience?
The Apple experience = locked down devices? If people (and Apple) stopped fearmongering about “security” or whatever, yeah they would, or at worst they wouldn’t care. I’d certainly welcome being able to publish apps on my terms, and being able to install what I want.
Some things are for you, other things are NOT for you. Letting both exist is an option.
That’s exactly the point. You don’t have to use the parts of a theoretical more open ecosystem if you don’t want to, you can keep using exclusively the official Apple stuff. But it creates more choice for the user if it exists.
- Comment on Can you read and understand this passage? 1 month ago:
Sure. It paints a very vivid picture, I love it.
Never read anything by Dickens before except for A Christmas Carol (and that was for school) but this is now on my reading list :^)
- Comment on Chat is this real 1 month ago:
I asked Gemini and it said “A reddit user wrote, ‘Kill yourself.’” Sounds like a yes for me too!
- Comment on The Source 1 month ago:
“can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters”

Holy shit. I need to start saying this

No. I don’t use it myself but this fucking sucks.

I don’t know Mark, I might not, but at least I have good friends. Can you say the same for yourself?
- Comment on Free open source video editor Kdenlive announces a major release 1 month ago:
Kdenlive is excellent. Probably top of the line in terms of features when it comes to FOSS and just works unlike the probably-better-in-theory freeware alternative on Linux, DaVinci Resolve.
I recently tried iMovie on the Mac to see how it is, just wanted to cut a clip out of a YouTube video I downloaded, and while its interface is much more well integrated, it completely froze during import of the video (I think it tried to transcode it in the background and ended up swapping hard because believe it or not Apple, there actually are workloads you need a lot of RAM for). Kdenlive didn’t struggle at all on the same machine.
- Comment on Is it possible to set what DNS server cloudflare tunnels uses when resolving local ips? 1 month ago:
It sounds like you need a split DNS setup. systemd-resolved can do this for example. As soon as you need any sort of slightly more complex DNS setup using just resolv.conf isn’t going to cut it.
- Comment on Windows RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. Microsoft is OK with that. - Ars Technica 1 month ago:
Oh, so that’s what that’s for. I’ve seen it before but never got the reason for it, but combined with this it makes sense. The name is very unfortunate though.
Now, the question is, will the cached RDP password update when you log in with the PIN :)
- Comment on All four major web browsers are about to lose 80% of their funding | by Dan Fabulich | Apr, 2025 1 month ago:
If only this could lead to scaling down the scope of web technologies so it’s sustainable to develop a browser without that 80% funding.
Wouldn’t be the first time we dropped an ultra complex technology for something much more simple, e.g. DCOM/CORBA for JSON-based RPC.
- Comment on Windows RDP lets you log in using revoked passwords. Microsoft is OK with that. - Ars Technica 1 month ago:
Their stated reasoning here sounds bullshit and I’m sure the actual reason is a technical one, where they’re trying to retrofit the MS accounts login system to a protocol that wasn’t designed for it and for some reason are refusing to extend the RDP protocol to support the new auth mechanism. SMB network shares probably have the same issue I’d assume.
I’m sure AD domains don’t have this problem since it uses Kerberos, otherwise this would have been a problem already decades ago.
Using the password for a public account for local login is a disaster anyway, they should have done it like Apple and kept the local login password separate from the MS account login. I have never used a MS account for local login but it sounds to me like it just leads to people using insecure passwords for publicly reachable accounts because they don’t want to type a long password every time logging into their computer.
