  I like the concept. But something without any central admins is probably going to be full of all kinds of awful stuff, and I don’t want to have to spend time strictly moderating my own feed, because if my client happens to cache anything illegal then I’m now potentially distributing that illegal content P2P which is a huge problem.

  The mention of cryptocurrency or blockchain also provokes quite a negative feeling, it’s basically just a haven for scams and useless things, and any kind of integration with it I do not want to be involved with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah Exos are enterprise drives, so there’s no point in making them quiet like they do with lower speed desktop stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich restore postgresql⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can add your photos as an external library after starting from scratch with Immich, they’ll show up just like before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How I use Pinchflat to avoid podcast ads⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sponsorblock will strip out ad-reads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 Start Menu Revealed as Resource-Heavy React Native App, Sparks Performance Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The start menu should not lag even on a 10 year old computer, that’s just absurd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to distribute Grok; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt Signal is supported by their scheduling/desk software though, Telegram has pretty wide support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thousands of Asus routers are being hit with stealthy, persistent backdoors⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow, the router allows Admin and SSH on the WAN port? That seems like a massive problem to start with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it even have push to mute with a keybind? It feels like their voice/video chat is super feature bare lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not great. It’s missing discord features like screen sharing and voice rooms (only sort of has them through a third party app, Jitsi, but that experience is… not great).

  It also has moderation issues, lacking tools needed to keep spam out and easily control it when it does get in.

  I recently deleted my account because there was a spam wave sending out room invites to anti-trans named rooms, and there’s no way to mass ignore, you have to click on every invite, click ‘ignore’ and wait like 15-30 seconds for the server to process.

  Related to the above it has performance issues, a lot of UI actions just have a delay to them making the user experience feel really crummy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub - sergi0g/cup: 🥤Docker container updates made easy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just gave it a try, lovely simple interface!

  Is it possible to show the container names or compose projects using an image? For example I have ferretdb showing a major update from 1 > 2, but I don’t know where that image is used so I can check or update the compose file deploying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitHub - sergi0g/cup: 🥤Docker container updates made easy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really its job, it just shows you updates are available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minio strips away almost all features from OSS interface and suggests people use their paid "AIStor" service instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah WebDAV is significantly better for our use cases, S3 has so many weird limitations and it’s hard to find clients for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Cars Don't All Come With Dipsticks Anymore, Here's Why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because manufacturers are scummy, that’s why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft blocks emails that contain ‘Palestine’ after employee protests⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, because they aren’t blocking words on the other side, this is clearly targeting one specific thing they don’t like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Obsidian with the readitlater plugin is good, and actually stored in a standard format entirely on your devices, so truly offline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This says it was done via the API so they wouldn’t be private messages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The article mentions around 800W of solar being typical, so around $250-350 for the panels plus some mounting hardware and a micro inverter. Maybe $1000 total?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With current AI I doubt it, at best it would do it 90% and then completely screw up the rest of your files.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Logwatch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be wild if it was caused by logging, even a cheap piece of crap SSD is usually rated for 500TBW.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can now use authenticator apps to keep your GOG account secure!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How? I can’t get it to give me the key, it just asks me to download their stupid app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Verizon is charging extra to limit spam calls and texts: Scam calls and texts have surged, yet Verizon continues to charge customers extra for essential protections.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on your luck getting assigned a phone number.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like AI never has useful features like that, just weird little gimmicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a good HTPC OS and software?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if the best option might be one of those remotes that has a little keyboard on the backside and works as an ‘air mouse’. Because I don’t know of any good interfaces for a traditional remote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨getting 522 error Cloudflaired + Jellyfin + fail2ban⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need caddy if you’re running cloudflare tunnels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice needed on Nextcloud + Immich Setup (with a SSD and HDD's)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes you can do that, it runs in docker so the bind mounts can be easily put wherever you want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Power back on needs the BIOS set to power on after power failure, the UPS will shut down after everything powers off, so the power coming back on will start things up again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Worth a look, any Intel CPU with onboard graphics that’s not horribly old will have quicksync on its iGPU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? It's selfhosting Sunday again!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno if there’s an iOS equivalent but on my Android phone I use the WG Auto Connect app so it’s only active when not on my home wifi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you document your Homelab?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I generally just make notes in Obsidian, mostly about switch ports, VLANs, IP assignments and that kind of thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you document your Homelab?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My solution is other people in the house don’t rely on anything in my setup, other than the router which runs some basic telemetry and fraud/phishing domain blocking but that’s all.
