  • I'm pretty sure it's "holy water" in a squirt gun. As if aquatic born pathogens don't exist.

  • We hate AI because it's everything we hate

  • Damn that hits the nail on the head. Especially that analogy of watching a robot lift weights on your behalf then claiming gains. It's causing brain atrophy.

  • Backblaze is slow for Nextcloud. Any recommendations for faster s3 compatible storage?

    Jump

  • Well I would recommend Akami/Linode because I've had some form of an instance for close to a decade and any downtime has been my own fault. I did just start playing with one of their premium compute linodes for some experiments. I have had Nextcloud in a shared resources node and it wasn't bad, but it was slow. Currently I just run AIO on my home server mapped to the NAS for storage. If I set it up again I think I would do the same on Linode but it is pricey.

    Router suggestions for a complete noob

    Jump

  • Did you know openwrt makes their own router now. It's called the openwrt one. They're not had for the price, mines been pretty solid. And they have a bunch upgrade options.

  • I'd say I'm pretty techophallic 🍆 I have more than a few Kickstarter beta products collecting dust, and I've broke my arch install over using the AUR

  • Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us?

    Jump

  • I think you've got a point. My initial thought was that because this platform is decentralized and there's no Elon or Zuck at the helm, this isn't applicable. But as you pointed out, the vast majority of users don't interact or post anything, so that naturally amplifies the users who do, particularly if they have an agenda to push.

  • The System Wayfinder - (looking for feedback)

    Jump

  • Hey, cool idea! I've also got a bunch of dockers and services running on a swarm on multiple devices. Like any good project, it's on it's like 3rd or 4th iteration now, having run into some roadblock each time. I structure most of my services into stacks. For example, I have a stack for proxy, www, monitoring, and of course the 'ol arr stack. Anyways, I keep all my notes on the stack compose yaml files that seems to work for me. I only interact with docker on the cli because portainer wants me to pay to use docker swarm. But because I'm so adept at docker on the cli, I have recently stumbled across gemini-cli. Dude, having that to help trouble shoot docker stuff is amazing. It's really good, but I'd keep it on a short leash.

  • What are some good uses for smart phones?

  • Balatro, it's like solitaire but more addictive than fentanyl.

  • I have a separate IoT network. It's basically just a guest wifi for IoT. Anything coming in on that network gets a VLAN tag and only previous & established connections can get out. Honestly, it's kinda a pain in the ass with homeassistant because I keep HA on the other network so I have to manually find devices. It might be easier to just block it at the ip level or blacklist outgoing ip ranges to Tuya or whatever.

  • That's awesome. Makes me miss my old Huawei watch from before the US hated Huawei.

  • A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud

    Jump

  • Not sure how long ago you tried it. But my first attempt at an install back in 2021 was so much more complicated than when I did it again in 2024. It's been rock solid ever since. I use the docker all-in-one method, it's pretty straightforward. When I went back to college, I decided to use it to organize all my classwork, and it's perfect for that. I still prefer LibreOffice to author papers though.

  • I love clubbing!

    Jump

  • A club is alright, but have you ever had a Monte Cristo?

  • We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink

    Jump

  • I didn't realize how temporary and disposable Starlink's satellites were. They incinerate 4 or 5 a day by de-orbiting them into the ozone. Here's a pretty good CNET article that talks about how they “dispose” of them. IDK, doesn't seem sustainable. They also mention the bandwidth gains are being diminished with the influx of new users, so their solution is more temporary satellites.

  • We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink

    Jump

  • They're just following in the footsteps of Comcast. The FCC gave SpaceX/Starlink $885.5 million to provide rural broadband after they gave Comcast over $1 billion less than 5 years ago to do the same thing. Starlink actually works out there from what I understand, so I guess that's something.

  • Reddit sues Anthropic, alleging its bots accessed Reddit more than 100,000 times since last July

    Jump

  • I hope they both choke on their own bots.

  • Gen Z

    Jump

  • Not a gen Z but I'm actually a fan of both of those words. It's like a forceful put or get.

  • Without mentioning smartphones or social media, what societal changes have you noticed over the course of your lifetime?

    Jump

  • Hey, I just wanted to say this was a pretty great read, even if it was depressing as hell. You've got a knack for painting a picture with words.

  • I've been arrested, held up at gun point, and spent a few weeks in a Texas jail in the 90s because I like smoking weed. Now I have 3 weed stores within 2 miles of me, and it's as mundane as buying a loaf of bread. So that's a positive in my book.
