• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best political movie? And what is the best apolitical movie?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Best political, probably Kolkata 71. Parasite is also very good. Best apolitical, I have to go with Panther Panchali. It’s so hard to just choose one movie, my answer will probably change if you ask me again in a few days. A list of 20 might do it a bit more justice lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Batman has an awful lot of villains with doctorates.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m doing a PhD right now. I understand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clean butt⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep some toilet paper too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone help me understand the sonarr to jellyfin workflow⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Sonarr uses the qBittorrent’s (or other supported torrent) API for checking the progress, instead of periodic scans. Everything else is solid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do news articles and such call the governments of countries/groups of countries after the capital?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Side note, Paris, Texas is a pretty great movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is everyone's favoured domain name provider these days?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using Cloudflare for my sites. They offer at-cost domain registration, and I’ve been pretty happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨which softwares can I self host without public IP?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The best way would be to use a VPS to proxy your traffic to you. You can achieve this for pretty cheap, just set up an wireguard tunnel to a cheap VPS. That’s exactly how I access all my services from outside my home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m usually visiting my parents during new year, so I just text a few friends. We usually meet up later in the day, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Production quality often has in inverse relationship to information quality in youtube videos⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk why, but I’ve always gotten a eery vibe from Mark Robert. Very similar to what I feel when watching Mr. Beast. Whatever they do, it just feels shallow and disingenuous for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-written poetry and is rated more favorably - Scientific Reports⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s worth it to argue with a person of such worldview. Maybe someone with more patience than me will reply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some self hosted services that you think are essential?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For me, the most essentials are definitely:

  • PhotoPrism
  • Jellyfin
  • Navidrome
  • Wiki.js
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated poetry is indistinguishable from human-written poetry and is rated more favorably - Scientific Reports⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s simply the truth. Go around and ask 20 people if they’ve read a single piece of poetry in the last year, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

  It’s not even being edgy. Most people don’t get high concept art in general, there’s nothing wrong about it. I certainly don’t understand classical dance, or abstract paintings. You need some degree of competence in any art form to truly appreciate it. To think otherwise is incredibly arrogant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are a lot more alike than we are different⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No war but class war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're Back!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're Back!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Watched a few episodes. It’s great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're Back!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, thanks for telling me about the Ranma ½ remake. I loved it as a teenager, looking forward to watch the remake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, I guess I misinterpreted what you said. My laptop only has a DC barrel port. I want to charge it using any of the high wattage GaN chargers. To do that, I’ll need something that converts the USB-C to barrel, and does the voltage negotiations. But thanks anyway. Maybe this’ll help someone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, I’m interested in the last thing. Can you give me some details on how to do it? I’d love not to carry around the bulky stock charger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ditching the VPN and port forwarding the selfhosted way⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I took a look at it. From what I understand, some of those lines in your setup is redundant. And the final product seems to do the exact same job as mine. In any case, if it works, it works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ditching the VPN and port forwarding the selfhosted way⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, can you maybe add some description for what the iptables entries do? I have a similar setup with a lot less iptables rules that works well for me. But I’m not an expert in networking, and am now worried that I might be missing something that can leak my home IP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pee posting?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can cheat by doing it right after ejaculation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At that point, you’re just paying for training Microsoft’s AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New largest prime number discovered by former Nvidia software engineer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If smart people thought like this, we won’t have cryptography.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No excuse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Pretend you need to leave.
  2. Pretend to drive away.
  3. Pretend to remember that you actually need to be here.
  4. Pretend to not be disappointed in yourself.
  5. Park again.
