Throw the whole thing into a YAML linter: www.yamllint.com and see what it says. Likely a spacing/indent format error or something like that.

Make sure cloudflare proxy is disabled on that DNS record.
- Comment on Microsoft is launching a $349 desktop PC that only runs Windows 11 by streaming it from the cloud 1 day ago:
Why is it so expensive? You can buy a fully functioning laptop with a local windows install for way less.
Even the new mac mini is $599 and that’s a full on computer with really good performance.
- Comment on Is there any truth to this? 1 day ago:
There’s definitely some of that in there too haha

Haven’t seen a single bit of toxic stuff yet, my feed is all cute art and photography stuff.
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 2 days ago:
Sure, but the cost of batteries is at the point where even with replacements every 10-15 years you’ll spend less than you would buying power from the grid.
- Comment on Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe 3 days ago:
All of them, plus storage batteries are under much less abuse and are different chemistry that lasts a lot longer.
- Comment on I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks 2 weeks ago:
It’s wild just how slow most thumb drives benchmark even with recent models, the Samsung Bar at 36MB/s is just ridiculous, that’s 30 minutes of waiting to fill it up entirely!
- Comment on Matrix 2.0 Is Here! 3 weeks ago:
Yes I’m waiting until it’s ready for the average user before I recommend it to anyone.
- Comment on Arc Browser - Changing focus when the main product isn't even finished? 3 weeks ago:
If you want that style of UI use Zen browser, it’s based on Firefox and doesn’t require an account to use it.
Arc is just another crappy browser based on Chrome.
- Comment on Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion 3 weeks ago:
The healthiest is to enable the option to only charge to 80% (or near there, depending on the phone you have).
Otherwise slower charging is better, if the wireless charging doesn’t make the phone hotter than say 30C or so I wouldn’t worry about using it. 45C is the limit for charging Li-ion safely, but it’s better to be cooler.
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 3 weeks ago:
FolderSync is a good alternative, more battery friendly too!
- Comment on Looking to move on from Unraid, need suggestions. 1 month ago:
I don’t use it on Android.
Photos are handled by Immich, and a general backup is done by the FolderSync app on a daily schedule over WebDAV to my server.

Proxmox is good as a host OS, you’ll up a VM for docker and run your stuff in that.
It has a built in backup system to image your VMs and Containers, you can combine it with Proxmox Backup Server either in a VM or on another system for incremental backups and deduplication.
As far as Nextcloud goes I’m not surprised you had issues, their setup is weird and non-standard and very unstable in my experience. I switched to Syncthing long ago and it’s so much better.
- Comment on Looking to move on from Unraid, need suggestions. 1 month ago:
Sometimes you need a VM. They’re not overkill, just useful for different things.
Examples; Running Windows, Running OSX, Passing through hardware to use isolated from the host (PCIe devices, USB, etc), Linux guests where you need a full kernel and permissions (for example to run Docker without issues caused by being nested inside a container).
VMs don’t really have much more overhead than a container in most use cases too. For example a VM with debian installed uses about 30MB of RAM.
- Comment on AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs 1 month ago:
I’ve never been able to get this one to work, it will say it can’t detect speech even though I can hear it being played.
- Comment on PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently? 1 month ago:
Immich has been great, I’ve been running it for something like 1.5 years now I think.
- Comment on PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently? 1 month ago:
I love that they clearly say that. IMO they should keep that notice around even later on.
Far too many people spin up some solution for photos or files, either selfhosted or some paid service, and use it as their only storage. Then they’re surprised when data loss happens.
- Comment on This Android Malware Has Infected Over 11 Million Devices 1 month ago:
Doesn’t the play store have their “Play Protect” thing they’re always shoving in my face? Why didn’t that pick this up before 11 million people installed the app?
- Comment on This Android Malware Has Infected Over 11 Million Devices 1 month ago:
Really every AV software is spyware for whatever country it operates in. Just depends on who you’d rather have your data.
- Comment on Exploding pagers and walkie-talkies are a reminder of how easily your devices can be hacked – here’s how to make sure they are safe. 1 month ago:
The amount of articles and discussion assuming these devices were hacked is insane.
They weren’t hacked, they were physically opened up and had explosives placed inside.
- Comment on YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog 1 month ago:
Oh that’s a smart way of doing it!
- Comment on YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog 1 month ago:
(Edit: Though that may not actually work considering this is apparently fully server side. Gonna have to get clever…)
Next step is machine learning to recognize ads and cut them out automatically hah.
- Comment on DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. 1 month ago:
Yeah the title change I don’t get in cases like that.
I Bought Ten of the WEIRDEST Phones EVER
Is a lot more descriptive of what the video is.
- Comment on I had to install directx 9 to run gta 4 on windows 11 1 month ago:
It’s a very old game, from before DX12 existed.
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 1 month ago:
CGNAT at least.
- Comment on XPipe - A connection hub for all your servers - Status update for the v11 release 1 month ago:
I’ve been using this for awhile and it had a little learning curve coming from MobaXTerm, but it’s been great.
- Comment on Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network? 1 month ago:
Android too.
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 1 month ago:
At least until they start blacklisting IPs using Invidious.
- Comment on Proxying torrent traffic to homeserver 1 month ago:
Since you already have wireguard you don’t need any proxies, just set up wireguard to route through the VPS and you should be good to go.
Or you could install a proxy server on the VPS and enter those settings into qBittorrent, if you don’t want to route all your traffic over wireguard.
