• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You trying to give me a heart attack? I have warrants for chrissakes!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  This happens to me pretty regularly while watching YouTube. I forget that I shouldn’t be able to hear a siren that loudly over noice cancellation even if it was right outside my door.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get on my level⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then a large percentage of tall men would have to stay single, since women are shorter on average. I’ve personally met very few women who are my height, and I’m not even that tall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sacrifice for the greater good⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for your service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Username checks out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What YouTube downloader are the kids using these days?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just did uv tool install yt-dlp[default] --with mutagen. Updates are handled automatically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything is awful because the people who went to business school figured out how to fuck us over as hard as possible.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Whenever I learn that someone went to business school, and doesn’t feel any shame admitting it, I simply stop talking to them. Fucking ghouls, man. Literally destroying the earth for profit. As a society, we need to drown them in ridicule. That’s what they deserve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always been kind technically motivated. The only reason I didn’t actually get into computer science is that I had a great math teacher who made me fall in love with math.

  Anyway, I love tinkering with stuff, so I inevitably got into self hosting. Nowadays, I’ve even started maintaining some self hosted software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France will replace Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoom, Webex and others with its own sovereign video conferencing application "Visio" for public officials⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not surprised. From what I’ve heard from pretty much every German person I’ve talked to, Bavaria is basically their Texas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My list of political opinions or actions that I hate more than those of Donald Trump himself and why⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna keep this. Everyone has the right to showcase their idiocy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eating economically means eating healthier⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Or, get this, spices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hope that isn’t coming from personal experience, brother/sister/anything you prefer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's the truth! ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In Bangla, we call the color peyaji, which is basically “onion-y”. It’s also what we call onion fritters, and they’re absolutely delicious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What did Margorie Taylor Greene do again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, like I can tell you about our communist history, or our surrealist poetry. But then you’ll call me an extremist, or even worse, a nerd.

  So I keep those for when I get drunk and overshare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM is so expensive, Samsung won't even sell it to Samsung⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We thought we’ll get artificial intelligence, but all we got was organic stupidity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The family name goes first in East Asian names, reflecting the fact that they view family over individual; Whatever the parents' idea of "family" is, triumphs over the children's individuality.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re reading way too much into it. We Indians (most of us, people in the South often flip it) write our names similar to the west i.e. family name last. But we definitely have a “family first” culture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're back⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just started reading The God of Small Things. It’s been on my list for a while. But I have to read so much for my work (I’m a math researcher), that I rarely have the energy to read fiction. Thanksgiving break gave me some free days, so I guess it worked out well.

  Man, it’s sad to see SDF going down so frequently. Anyone has any recommendations for alts? I just want decent uptime, and lax federation policy. (I like to choose who I block.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quitting Spotify for Navidrome⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Symfonium is great, and in its current state, probably the best Subsonic client for android. (Tempus is good enough for me though.) But best of luck if you ever have a nontrivial issue and ask the dev for help. That’s one abrasive mf. (Just take a look here to see how full of himself they are. I’ve never seen anyone do something like this.)

  That said, if it works for your needs, it’s a great app. I won’t judge anyone for using it, but I’m someone who can’t and won’t separate the art from its artist. If that applies to you, you’ve been warned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quitting Spotify for Navidrome⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On Android, you should try out Tempus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To anyone saying they’re happy since they already have a lifetime Plex pass, do you really think they won’t come for you too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll ban you, but let me just say this before I do it. Fuck you, and I hope you step on a lego.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop trying to make ‘kagis’ a thing.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, I hate that guy’s comments with a passion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨engagement⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Congrats

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They say remote working less productive⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No one’s stopping you. It’s only a problem when this is forced on people. Some of us don’t need to go to work to do all of those things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FFS Plex, the server is on my local network⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does Jellyfin do smart playlists yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cooking 😋⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s one of the best smells of ever exist. There was a bakery on the way from my home to school. They usually had a fresh batch when I walked to school in the morning, and boy it made me salivate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is art⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner is ready! ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s kinda against the whole idea though. You can get any cuisine anywhere nowadays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner is ready! ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Easy D for me. Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese. I don’t think I need anything else in life lol. Come to think of it, the only food I’ve had in the last month or so that isn’t from D is pizza, but I can live without pizza.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner is ready! ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Afircan food is pretty great. E has parts of Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Egypt. (Those are the ones that I’ve tried. There’s probably more countries with great food there.)
