Thank you! I appreciate all the work that you and all other FOSS developers do.

I desperately want to switch out of the big tech apps into this, but I primarily listen to podcasts in the car. Once this gets Android Auto support (which I believe is in the road map) I’ll be all over this!

Yeah, sucks. Give this a read.

Amazon is doing the exact same thing. Just got an email today that they’re shutting down the family Prime sharing thing. Had that for ten years now.

Infinity War was completely worth the hype. I wasn’t quite as enthralled with Endgame, but it wasn’t bad.

Not knocking cause I have one of these myself, but if a drive fails, isn’t it more likely because of the flash storage instead of the USB interface?

Kids these days with their thin skin… Smh

For what it’s worth, I only ever had that be a problem once in the past year I’ve been using Immich. And I don’t update more than once a month. I think it is uncommon anymore for them to release updates for the app that are incompatible with various sever version iterations.

Call me careless, but I personally don’t think exposing services publicly is that big of a deal. I’ve been publicly exposing Home Assistant, Jellyfin, Immich, Joplin and a few others for at least 3 years now with no repercussions. Everyone’s risk tolerance is different, but I wouldn’t write off publicly available services. Precautions like a reverse proxy, Crowdsec, Fail2ban, and Authelia all lower the risk profile.

There’s nothing wrong with making a reverse proxy only for use inside your homelab. It’s one way to resolve internal DNS queries and give addresses to your services. It’s perhaps the best, because it’s the only way I know that doesn’t necessitate remembering port numbers.

E.g. You are hosting something at 192.168.1.20 on port 3310. Even if you set a local DNS record for pihole.itjust.donn to resolve to 192.168.1.20, you’ll still have to type pihole.itjust.donn:3310 to access it. The same isn’t true with a reverse proxy.

There are so many people who just don’t get tech though. I was just at my buddy’s patents house, probably early 60s, and they have a random default SSID and password. It’s like 15 digits long. Secure as can be. If they really bothered to type that in on all their devices, I’m thinking they were probably incapable of changing it through the software.

He’s user number 24601 as far as I’m concerned

I mean, they have a built-in sweater. If they got really cold you’d see them cuddle up in a blanket, on a bed, or close to a person. Either way I bet you’d be more risking your pipes freezing than harming your pets.

Just finished it last week. Season 1 was decent, 2 and 3 I was really wondering why everyone had talked up the show so much, but season 4 is where I felt it got real. Quality TV, I do recommend, but I do think it’s a bit overhyped.

I mean that’s not really true. The new FTC chair literally got the position by writing a paper on why Amazon should be broken up, and has raised numerous cases to stop recent M&A activity. One Meta/FB acquisition of a VR company, the Microsoft Blizzard/Activision buyout, among others. They’ve been shut down a lot by the courts.

Yeah this is insane for me to read. I’ll say it’s about 8pm-2am for me that the world is all quiet and everything is just peaceful. I’ve had some of my best ideas and made many life decisions in these hours.

If what he says is true, that it’s going up because of driver pay, that’s good at least. Uber at least has competition in Lyft, and both have a lot more markets to enter around the world by chipping away the established local taxi businesses, which can also compete by dropping their prices…

Overall I think Uber is a net positive. But $50 is a pretty ridiculous fee.

Is Yelp really so dead that you’d use whatever that app is instead of it?

I was definitely in grade school in the '00s, but this is all foreign to me. For me I’d say it was Axe body spray (or the many knockoffs), Uggs, Heelys, TVs in the back of their parent’s car’s front headrests, having their own TiVo, and LaCroix.

I mean, if any of those 80,000 plants pack as much protein as any of the dead animals I’m all ears
