Your connection being fine during downtime is a new detail not in your original post that changes the dynamics. That being said I believe my other response should be helpful.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 1 week ago:
Well, it can’t hurt to cross it off. You don’t need to get a domain from a registrar that offers dynamic DNS, you just need to register a domain (or try another dynamic DNS like the other user suggested) and use a DNS provider that is free and offers an API. I personally use Cloudflare, there are plenty of guides for setting up a dynamic record on CF.
For registering a domain you can use an affordable registrar, I’m a Porkbun customer - for a
.comdomain it’s like $11 for a year. No need to spend monthly. - Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 1 week ago:
Ha, if he said duckDNS I was going to recommend something more reliable like freedns.afraid.org.
That being said, the description in his post doesn’t make it seem that way.
- Comment on Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns 1 week ago:
Let’s back up some - a free dynDNS provider would not cause connection issues, unless DNS resolution itself stopped working - which is unlikely. It sounds more like the Internet you’re running off of itself has issues. What in particular is making you blame the dynDNS? Who is it?
- Comment on When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes? 2 weeks ago:
There’s no legal precedent for this, but I definitely would follow that journey if someone did try to do something like this through proper channels lol.
- Comment on Is there a selfhosted option for webcomics? 2 weeks ago:
I’m unsure, but I’m an avid user of Mihon (formerly Tachiyomi). Basically God’s gift to Android. Would recommend giving it a look!
- Comment on PRUSA releases the OpenPrintTag, open source standard for filament spool identification and data tracking 3 weeks ago:
For an open source system I think it’s mainly just a matter of when. Granted there are currently complaints with the licensing for the system, so that might hurt/kill traction.
- Comment on Should I replace NPM? 3 weeks ago:
Even back then caddy was being talked about. I don’t use caddy because, at least back then, it was only free for non commercial use (unless you compile it yourself).
I’ve been using Traefik for even longer though and haven’t ran into any major issues. Definitely recommend it.
- Comment on This is a GREAT idea 4 weeks ago:
This is “OCDA”. This guy actually did this to a company we were considering partnering with, which is how I found out about him.
Turns out, no surprise, he does no fact checking and can harass companies who did nothing wrong. He’s been sued and is in the process of being sued again.
There are a whole slew of other issues with his approach as well… Shitty all around.
- Comment on The aws outage is so funny, I can see which companies are amazon scums. 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t look at it that way. Even companies not leveraging AWS directly will be impacted.
- Comment on Many developers leave GZDoom due to leader conflicts and fork it into UZDoom 5 weeks ago:
The drama here isn’t solely over the use of AI. In fact, your last comment any brainlessly using AI is closer to the cause of this drama. The project lead is pushing untested code straight to main, and the fact it was AI generated was an addendum/insult to injury.
- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 2 months ago:
I switched to Docker ages ago and don’t regret it. The other benefit aside from the “works on my machine” is that usually it’s very easy to back up with minimal bloat, especially for projects that don’t document what you should be backing up.
I can, and have, switch hosts on a moments notice and only have to mess with DNS updates.
Although I’ve been procrastinating switching to rootless Docker.
The only thing I run on a VM right now is Home Assistant. But I do that with Cockpit and KVM/virsh.
- Comment on Choosing my first printer is driving me mad. 2 months ago:
As much as I’m worried about Bambu doing a rug pull (and they already have to a certain extent), my P1S is my 5th 3d printer, but my first casual one. I can leave it unused for 6 months, then just print something with no warning and first print success.
- Comment on How to prepare for future home server upgrade? 2 months ago:
All my backups are tested, so upgrades (or recovering from a failure) are usually straightforward. The only thing I don’t back up is my collection of Linux ISOs, but that I can easily reacquire.
- Comment on Subnautica studio Unknown Worlds files lawsuit against ousted founders for allegedly downloading over 170,000 confidential files 2 months ago:
I’m going to wait on the outcome of these lawsuits and the discovery process before I lean one way or the other.
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 4 months ago:
I acknowledge that, this is the result of unbridled capitalism.
When a person uses social engineering and manipulation to extract money from an individual or company it’s called fraud, when a large enough company does it it’s just business.
If only our government could give us some handy dandy consumer protection laws.
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 4 months ago:
Of course it’s an Israeli firm that is enabling this greedy behavior. They already price gouge as it is. Can’t we go back to the formula of “our cost + our profit margin adjusted for market”. This bleeding the customer dry bullshit should stick in bullshit avoidable video game micro transactions.
- Comment on YSK about StopICE.net to send and receive alerts about ICE raids in your area 4 months ago:
Keep in mind their claims about Android have been clearly refuted and their claims in general are dubious.

Given this, they’re either dangerously ignorant or intentionally malicious.

- Comment on Outgrown my Synology NAS, time for a proper dedicated machine 4 months ago:
9? That’s quite a bit of compute lol.
My journey started with 1 server, then 4, then 5 (one functioning as a NAS), then 1 (just the NAS box), then I moved and decided to slim it down to a proper NAS and 1 mini PC/NUC clone. Now I’m up to two because the first was an Intel N105 which just isn’t up for the challenges lol
- Comment on Docker is not available in RHEL10 5 months ago:
Last time I tried to migrate to Podman the first container I tried was incompatible, so was the second, and the third. Turns out at the time Linuxservers.io stuff wasn’t rootless podman compatible. There have since been some improvement according to my most recent Google search just now, so maybe a retry is coming up.

- Comment on Jump Ship Demo is Live! 5 months ago:
It has Platinum in ProtonDB for now. Definitely appears to be playable on Linux.
- Comment on Donation-supported file host Catbox got kicked out of Patreon and temporarily from Ko-Fi, now running at deficit of approx. $1,388/month. 5 months ago:
While I’ve never directly used them I’ve definitely seen content hosted by them. I’ve also seen CSAM promptly removed by them (I work for a hosting provider and occasionally will forward a report their way). I’ll drop them some mons.
- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 6 months ago:
The gameplay looks fine. It looks like a Doom game. But I won’t buy a game with DRM, so I won’t be buying it until that gets removed (at earliest).
- Comment on 6 months ago:
Whoops! Didn’t notice that typo. I wouldn’t even dream of subjecting my steam deck to the same 900 mods as my PC.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
I modded Cyberpunk 2078 and jumped straight to the NNM app, no issues. Running quite a few mods.
- Comment on PSA: I want a law for PC games to be offered in physical versions again 7 months ago:
Is there another meaning to “PSA” that isn’t “public service announcement”? It confuses me being in the title as this entire post is written as a suggestion / CTA, not a PSA.
- Comment on Even his doctors are full of it 7 months ago:
Every time I recall those episodes, and the pain, it gets easier to do, emotionally.
And theoretically I could just get it operated on - there have been improvements in the field. But the prospect of going under the knife is scary, especially in an area where one fuckup or miscalculation could lead to partial paralysis for life. Throw in a mix of abusive American healthcare and… Weekly therapy is more preferable.
- Comment on Even his doctors are full of it 7 months ago:
No. I’ve considered it though, but I’m a tad worried it won’t make a difference considering the options I’ve seen probably don’t result in 200lbs of force being applied.
