- Comment on Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE? 2 weeks 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 1 month 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 2 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? 2 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 2 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.

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

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? 2 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? 2 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 2 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 2 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.

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

- Comment on Study hack 3 months ago:
Were all the tests available at the same time? Usually there are different times for submitting tests and also for assignments. I’ve never taken a course where you can just submit them whenever you want. For assignments, maybe, possibly with some penalty. But never for tests.
- Comment on I think I am socially ostrasized, what should I do? 4 months ago:
Getting a job won’t make things easier. Most people need human connection and friends to live a fulfilling life. I think you might be imagining that people dislike you, as we socially awkward people often do. Just try talking to people, and you’ll surely make a few friends. I’m socially awkward, but make it a point to attend many social gatherings outside of classes/job so that I’m basically forced to talk to people, no matter how hard it is. There will definitely be people who will appreciate your personality, just give them the chance to get to know you.
- Comment on NAS / NAS + server? Unraid, Proxmox, Intel, AMD? Looking for guidance. 4 months ago:
What I’ve realized in my (very limited) experience in selfhosting, it’s always best to use a general purpose server OS rather than anything geared to a specific usecase, unless that’s the only thing you’re gonna use it for. So, if you want a separate NAS drive, then it’s a good idea to use TrueNAS on it. But on your main server, it’ll be best to use some sort of RHEL downstream distro like AlmaLinux.

It’s good that OP mentioned that it’s “furred”. Otherwise, I might’ve mistaken it for a man.

There’s a (pretty great) movie where cannibalism is treated as a substitute for sex. It’s called Aamis.
- Comment on Trying to get advice for photo/files storing/syncing 5 months ago:
I use Syncthing, and a bunch of rsync scripts to keep machines in sync. The stuff I want synced continuously is handled by Syncthing. Other stuff is synced on a daily basis using the rsync scripts and anachron. For Photos, I use PhotoPrism. I simply sync the Photos from all my smartphones to a folder and make PhotoPrism scan it on a regular basis. For cameras though, I need to copy them manually, but I don’t think there’s a way around that.
- Comment on Finally got my server to work properly. (Routing with custom local domain instead of ports) 5 months ago:
Don’t mean to necrobump. But I have Syncthing GUI working over a very similar setup. Let me know if you still need help setting it up.

Individual philanthropy is never a solution. Most of the breakthroughs happen by public funding. Tax the rich, and fund the research. Don’t let the MFs claim they’re helping anyone out by donating 1% of their stolen wealth.
- Comment on Why do so many people use NGINX? 5 months ago:
Some people are also building a reverse proxy using pingora called river.
- Comment on People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account 5 months ago:
Yeah, I don’t get it.
Kind of unrelated, but a parallel I experienced recently.
Yesterday I was annoyed by SplitWise. We had a small trip over the weekend and we’re adding expenses to it, and it turns out that there’s now a limit to how many entries you can put in per day. Even with ads. So we decided to find another platform, and a friend suggested another closed product which is probably gonna get as shitty as SplitWise soon. Anyway, I was able to convince them to use Spliit instead. If the hosted service goes to shit, at least I can self host it and keep all the data. ___
