- Comment on Started hosting my own Nextcloud and its awesome! 7 hours ago:
Samba-Domain is extremely lightweight, surfaces LDAP and AD, and can manage Linux and mac laptops, not just Windows. I wouldnt call it overkill.
Also, restoring single files from a snapshot is simple, I don’t get this? Lastly, of your whole data drive is one dataset in ZFS, you are ZFSing wrong.
- Comment on Started hosting my own Nextcloud and its awesome! 2 days ago:
Before you get too far, consider setting up users with a domain like Samba-Domain. This way you get centralized user management for anything you decide to host alongside it.
Also, ZFS is great for backups.
- Comment on Jellyswarrm - reverse proxy all your Jellyfin servers from a single interface, presenting as a standard Jellyfin server, clients should work out of the box. 2 days ago:
I bet this could be used to load balance regional servers with a bit of tweaking. (I made Plex-sync a long time ago for a similar purpose)

Since OP didn’t mention, the pasted content is not the full article. Click through and read it if you like, as since it’s Medium, it helps the author out. 😉
- Comment on Do LLM modelers maintain a list of manual corrections fed by humans? 3 days ago:
A lot of answers here, but some are dated, as the “fix” isn’t in the models. MCP is a main fix for items like this. It’s a standardized protocol for LLMs to talk to tools and data stores, like calculators and dictionaries. This way the token effect doesn’t matter, and system prompts only need a small configuration which process much faster.
- Comment on Germany's Ecosia, a nonprofit search engine, said on Thursday it has submitted a proposal to assume a 10-year stewardship of Google Chrome 4 days ago:
This helps for context: techcrunch.com/…/ecosia-has-offered-to-take-stewa…
TLDR; If the lawsuit goes bad, and Google is forced to sell Chrome, it’s a way for them to retain ownership while working with an existing partner to overcome the monopoly ruling.
Still a win win in my book.
- Comment on In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses 5 days ago:
I’d like to understand what this math was before accepting this as fact.
- Comment on YSK that JetBrains IDEs do not remove old share and cache files from the previous version when upgrading. Every folder includes a local LLM, plugin executables, and old search indices. They go unused. Removing old versions freed up 14.8 GB storage for me. 6 days ago:
Cleanup, aisle .config

Not to be confused with “Tor Browser” (not a VPN, just providing clarification)

- Comment on Mastodon admins can now bridge entire instances to Bluesky 1 week ago:
Ok, maybe found a new reason. I’m not sure how the binding arbitration would work going through a bridge.
Without the ability to participate on the Bluesky network without having to create an account with Bluesky (the company), users would have to subject themselves to Bluesky’s terms of service, and could have their access to the Bluesky network unilaterally terminated by Bluesky (the company).
…
As things stand, Bluesky has very bad terms of service that every user who creates an account has to subject themselves to. In particular, Bluesky’s ToS contain a “binding arbitration” waiver that forces users to surrender the right to sue Bluesky no matter how the company harms them.
- Comment on Mastodon admins can now bridge entire instances to Bluesky 1 week ago:
Unless I’m misunderstanding: One-way bridging.
That’s very different from Federation.

Depends on if you changed to the route of the first comment.
- Comment on Is there a selfhosted eBooks app that can do this? 1 week ago:
Kavita. It started for comics and moved on to books. It supports ODPS, the standard by which readers like KOReader connect to fetch books.
I have tried so many, Calibre (not good for graphic novels), Komga (very dated in comparison to Kavita), and more, but for both graphic novels and books, it won’t be beat.
- Comment on Plex server patching required 1 week ago:
Ahhh. I put the wireguard client on the router, so it’s more of a site to site setup for TVs.
- Comment on Plex server patching required 1 week ago:
Yea the catch was we were asking for TLS for a long time, and this was pre- Let’s Encrypt, so those patching on their own didn’t have a free (minus work) way to handle it. It took a releasable POC to get action.
All out devices just have a permanent Wireguard client since it uses basically no battery, and then a allow rules for households. If you don’t want to run the client, and don’t want to take the time to learn, you don’t get access. But I totally get how that’s not for everyone.
- Comment on Plex server patching required 1 week ago:
I posted a while back, tested the biggest open endpoints and they were properly secured, the issues just weren’t updated.

This is only half of the meme.
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 1 week ago:
It wouldn’t, and I think the other responder, while saying a true fact, may have misunderstood this question’s purpose.
The hoodie will only work with cameras that support IR night vision (most security cameras, no IR filter), but won’t work for most others (phones, dash cams, SLRs (filtered)).
And the dork in me must say, Raspberry Pi offers their Camera Modules in both formats, because noyce.
- Comment on "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint 1 week ago:
It"s a difficult viewpoint given where money flows. A better method shoupd be more government funded software, with a FOSS requirement since it’s tax dollars.
That being said, I’m very fortunate to be working for a company that releases software under MIT and/or SSPLv1, and we use almost exclusively Open Source for our infrastructure and back office (decisions I made, but had the strong, proactive backing of our CEO/Founders).
- Comment on Does putting clothes in the closet protect them from dust, or is the dust in there too? 2 weeks ago:
Soaps and oils and no airflow. Hang cloths out of the closet the day before you wear (or rewear) them. Hangout outside not in direct sunlight works even better.
And to original OP, any dust added that day will shake off.
- Comment on Seems like the obvious way to do it? 2 weeks ago:
Most likely. Repeated creasing of a bag sheds much more than a rigid surface. It’s the same reason why you shouldn’t squeeze single-use plastic water bottles (or really buy them to begin with).

- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
That kind of waterproofing wears over time (years). It keeps it’s resistance, but not a submersible seal. Watches have longer use years than phones on average.
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 2 weeks ago:
Cloudflare is a good choice. I used DNSExit for a while, and also NS1, but settled on Cloudflare. You don’t have to use their proxying, just DNS.
Here’s a Docker Compose for you that will set
myhost.mydomain.comto point to your public IP of wherever it is run:dyndns-cloudflare: image: oznu/cloudflare-ddns container_name: dyndns-cloudflare environment: - API_KEY=<key> - ZONE=mydomain.com - SUBDOMAIN=myhost - PROXIED=false restart: unless-stopped
- Comment on Self-hosted blog - do I need a static IP address? 3 weeks ago:
How are you hosting? And do you have a domain? Lot’s of good advice here, but knowing if you’re running on a Pi, in Docker, etc, would help others give you the easiest/best method.
In short, you do not need a static IP.
- Comment on UK cyber vigilantes generating mock IDs of local MPs to protest Online Safety Act 3 weeks ago:
They’re using ChatGPT for fake address generation if it even needs a cache for that part. There are plenty of libraries to do that locally. They should only need to cache generated images, which is the only thing a model would be useful for here.

Pretty sure that’s not how that works.
