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

I use myanonamouse. Had to back then, none of the public trackers were good. Sounds like they might be better now though. MaM is the only private tracker I’m on.

I switched a while back, but grew frustrated with most of the solutions. Apparently while my music is on Spotify, some of it isn’t in the MusicBrainz database, so automation and tagging/sorting tools just crapped out. The solution of submitting the data just wasn’t work I was willing to put in (the guide on making a submission alone was too much).

Ultimately I did most everything manually and got a workable solution, but without added variety I lost touch with music and stopped listening all together over time.

I’ve migrated my Firefox profile to multiple different computers and even from Firefox to Floorp. No issues. It’s also something I have backed up to my NAS daily since it contains everything - just plop it in and I’ve got everything the way it was before.

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.

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.

MaM.

When I got into the space I had to find a private tracker, but since then I’ve had no issues with Readarr aside from some series being slow to get their metadata updated, but that’s not a Readarr issue.

If I’m using Bluetooth earbuds I can receive a call from Signal or WhatsApp. So it stands to reason it’s possible a Bluetooth device exists to act like earbuds but for a landline phone. I found a few (cell2jack and XLink BT HD) but could not verify if they’d work for anything other than normal phone calls.

He got scammed again? Damn. Sorry, I was referring this one. And not really the details of the scam, but it was the wrong place / wrong time element that reminded me.

Edit: the article you linked is older, so I guess not “again”.

Yup, what you’re describing sounds inline with how Corey Doctorow fell victim to fraud.

I’m fairly certain I annoy the people at my bank because I always insist on calling them back at their official number if they ask for any personal information. I don’t fuck around with my bank security. I did however get got a couple of more years ago back when the chrome browser window phishing attack first started and had my Steam account stolen for a solid minute.

That’s the attack where they simulate a browser window so what you think is a oauth popup is actually just inpage javascript and CSS.

The fundraising was for the development of Pixelfed’s source code. e.g. adding new features, bug fixing, etc. - not for currently hosted servers and their infrastructure. So it went to @dansup.

I mean it sounds like a removable mesh pool fence is what you need. The holes might be permanent, but properly installed inserts would make them less conspicuous.

Yup, with PIA the port is random but yes, there should be scripts out there to leverage PIAs forwarding with your torrent software. And yeah, if you were to port forward through your router that could lead to accidentally exposing your actual IP.

incompatible with port forwarding with any VPN

I’m not sure if there is a misunderstanding here, but port forwarding through a VPN is generally agnostic of most network setups. It’s a tunnel, doesn’t require your network to have port forwarding setup or even for it to be capable of it.

Because there are alot of ignorant people in the world afraid of what they perceive as different.

In your first two examples, regardless of not being politicians it’s clear that by helping put politicians in power they benefit, so whether they genuinely care or not, it’s just about money and lack of compassion to them. And continuing to drive class warfare continues to benefit them.

In your last example, I think that person is just in the ignorant and afraid of change category with an unfortunate amount of exposure.

A combination of both. More bad mood going around, impacting you and causing you to perceive things more negatively.

There are quite a few text equivalents. text-generation-webui looks and feels like Automatic1111, and supports a few backends to run the LLMs. My personal favorite is open-webui for that look and feel, and then there is Silly Tavern for RP stuff.

For generation backends I prefer ollama due to how simple it is, but there are other options.
