- Comment on It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it 5 days ago:
Because there exists only one place in the world and that is called US of A? 🙄
Saudi Arabia is still the biggest oil exporter in the world (as of 2024). If you drive an internal combustion car anywhere, chances are high that you paid the Sheiks at least some money for doing so.

I have bad news for you if you drive a non-electric car 😏
- Comment on Self-hosting a Matrix server for 5 years 1 week ago:
Yeah, that is a pretty realistic assessment, and the author should definitely try out Snikket (XMPP).
- Comment on Conntrack question 1 week ago:
You could enable Suricata on OPNsense, which will allow you to subscribe to some known attacker lists and so one. But the problem these days are mostly AI scrapers that usually don’t show up on these lists as they are not attackers per se, but just cause a lot of database load by probing every part of your web-applications.

You can apparently play it fine on Linux these days: www.protondb.com/app/552500
(Obviously there is no kernel level anti-cheat there).

- Comment on PC Master Race 5 weeks ago:
We are talking about price relative to performace, not performance in general.
But the cost of the hardware is anyways not so relevant when the price difference of the software easily makes up the difference.
- Comment on PC Master Race 5 weeks ago:
You still easily can with second hand components.
- Comment on PC Master Race 5 weeks ago:
That period repeats every 3-5 years approximatly towards the end of a generation but before the new generation is announced.

You mean like today when sites don’t work without using Chromium or if you dare to have some tracking protection active?

- Comment on Kew woman fined £150 for pouring coffee down drain in Richmond 1 month ago:
Most street drains these days are for stormwater only and are not connected to the sewerage system or a proper wastewater treatment plant, thus pouring liquids into them is not much different from just pouring them into nature somewhere.

Let’s hope there will be a VR version.

- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 2 months ago:
Played around a bit with hosting Flohmarkt and Manyfold. Promising fediverse projects, but still a bit early days.
Also looked a bit into running Piefed on via Podman, but didn’t progress much with it. Looks easy enough though in general.

Looks like Windows Subsystem for Linux 😅
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 2 months ago:
I guess I could share my Podman service files sometimes.
The main annoyance I had when setting it up was that you have to set an ENV variable for the timezone, otherwise the map for the location choser during the initial instance setup doesn’t show up thus making it impossible to proceed.
I guess this is probably an unintended bug and I should make an issue on their Codeberg about that sometimes.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 2 months ago:
It is pretty early in development, but so far quite nice. I set up a test instance a few weeks ago and are quite happy with it so far.

- Comment on Backups? (and Intro) 2 months ago:
If you use btrfs (nice for simple ad-hoc raid1 setups) then github.com/digint/btrbk is a very nice tool to automate snapshots and backups over ssh.
You can also improvise a setup with an external usb drive that you only connect once a week or so to do longer term backups. This isn’t exactly an off-site backup but somewhat similar if you store that drive away from the servers.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - slrpnk edition 2 months ago:
Snikket isn’t really ment to be customized with other components right now, but it is possible to get Biboumi working with it.
Most people use Biboumi as a bouncer for external IRC networks, but of course it also works with a self-hosted IRC server.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - slrpnk edition 2 months ago:
Where is this mesh network located? Sounds amazing.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - slrpnk edition 2 months ago:
Why not Biboumi as an IRC bouncer?

I finally need to get around automating the deployment of a Hugo based website via Forgejo webhooks this week.

They are the org hosting Forgejo development and are well aware of efforts to add federation to it.

- Comment on Lynx-R1 Headset Makers Release 6DoF SLAM Solution As Open Source 3 months ago:
Neat. Now we need someone to completely jailbreak the Occulus devices so that we can install a custom android rom or GNU Linux on it.
Mainline Linux support for those Qualcomm chips is already not bad.
- Comment on State of federation in git forges 3 months ago:
Yeah, sadly Forgejo is the only one working on it and it seems like the Gitea base code is making it somewhat difficult to implement (aside from the various moderation issues that come with federation that also need to be solved).
- Comment on Self-host : review appreciated 3 months ago:
Ah, with OpenBSD? That is rather niche…
