  • 2.5 Admins - A couple admins talk about tech news and admin related topics with the host.

    Darknet Diaries - Stories on hacking, data breaches, and cyber crimes.

    Macrodosing - A not too serious look at a range of interesting topics and conspiracies with Arian Foster and PMT commentator and a few others.

    And these which are self-explanatory: Late Night Linux, Linux Unplugged, Self-Hosted



  • I agree that thinking is outdated, however…

    The last time this topic came up, people with heat pumps said they needed to supplement their heating when having multiple days of -15F, some even said below +15F. Maybe newer heat pumps can work well enough down to these temps but the ones most people have already in their homes do not and require additional heating. There are many other factors to consider as well when determining cost-effectiveness, especially in houses with existing duct work, it’s not as simple as one just being more efficient than the other. And anyone that gets caught up by that may be served well to apply a bit more critical thinking because heat pumps are not always the best solution.



  • I want to present my files - wherever they may be - to all sorts of different applications which let me interact with them in different ways.

    Only some self-hosted software grants us this portability.

    I’d say almost everything is already covered with Samba shares and docker bind mounts. With Samba shares the data is presented across network to my Kodi clients, the file browser on my phone, and the file browsers of all my computers. And with docker bind mounts those files are presented to any services that I want to run.






  • The first thing I saw after reading the parent comment was a reply refuting it, with a screenshot of the dark mode. I think that’s pretty good

    Yeah, but that was also me providing that screenshot… it originally had 20 upvotes and no downvotes and was the top comment by far. No one questioned it before I posted the screenshot and the comment you replied on. I don’t even use Libre Office but immediately thought, “that can not be correct,” then I installed it to take that screenshot, so I think I can be a little frustrated and annoyed over this kind of misinformation. Because if I had just taken that comment and all the upvotes as the truth, then I would be dissuaded to use it in the future, and that would be based on completely wrong information. And that’s bullshit.
