That reminds me … another annoying thing Google did was list my private jellyfin instance as a “deceptive site”, after it had uninvitedly crawled it.

A common issue it seems.

What I used to do was: I put jellyfin behind an nginx reverse proxy, on a separate vhost (so on a unique domain). Then I added basic authentication (a htpasswd file) with an unguessable password on the whole domain. Then I added geoip firewall rules so that port 443 was only reachable from the country I was in. I live in small country, so this significantly limits exposure.

Downside of this approach: basic auth is annoying. The jellyfin client doesn’t like it … so I had to use a browser to stream.

Nowadays, I put all my services behind a wireguard VPN and I expose nothing else. Only issue I’ve had is when I was on vacation in a bnb and they used the same IP range as my home network :-|

This is how I found out Google harvests the URLs I visit through Chrome.

Got google bots trying to crawl deep links into a domain that I hadn’t published anywhere.

all you need is to get a static IP for your home network

Don’t even need a static IP. Dyndns is enough.

I mean, they’re not entirely wrong … but that also highlights the limitations of LLM based AI, and why it’s probably a technological dead end that will not lead to general purpose AI. It will just become another tool that has its uses if you know how to handle it properly.

You’re thinking of Netscape Navigator Gold 3.0

Yes, we had social media back then, just not with Nazis, bots, and ads.

We did have plenty of usenet trolls and usenet wars.

Do you have one for being terminally lazy and the world’s wost procrastinator?

It is aligned for the southern hemisphere as well, just with winter and summer reversed.

I see military spending as a necessary evil, it’s like paying your insurance policy against the evils in the world. There will always be someone with a stick willing to beat someone weaker than them. So you could theoretically spend that military money on something “more useful”, but if all your friends do that as well, you won’t be able to enjoy that nice world for very long.

Also, people usually highly overrate how much a country spends on defense and underrate how much is spent on social security. Where I live, in Belgium, with a similar military budget as Canada (in terms of % of GDP) they did a survey once and asked people to estimate how many euros out of €100 of tax money went to the military and other things. People on average thought it was €6.1 to the military and €17.4 to social security. In reality the proportions are just €1.3 to the military and €37.5 to social security.

So I guess what I’m saying is: it’s okay to enjoy the cool noises without guilt. You paid for it, it’s necessary, and at least they’re providing people with some entertainment now.

A core memory of mine is getting flung off of one of these things because of the centrifugal force, falling on my back, and being unable to breathe for like 20-30 seconds … until I screamed at the top of my lungs, and things slowly returned to normal, while the teacher just went: oh you’re fine, don’t be a baby. I was 6.

Or ctrl+w to close the fucking site and never come back.

Ctrl + r to search previous commands

That’s a readline thing by the way, so it doesn’t just work in bash but also works with other cli applications that are compiled with readline support, for example virsh, psql, fdisk, …

Female Dating Strategy

I think being interested in your own weird little niches is wonderful.

That’s a judgement too btw, but a positive one.

I think the question is rather forward for a girl you just met at a party, but at the same time I think someone’s youtube recommendations would be a good indicator of some obvious red flags that someone may want to consciously hide from a prospective partner. For example, if someone’s feed is full of alt right/joe rogan/incel crap, or for women, full of FDS crap, you’re damn right I’m gonna judge.

I too demand justice for Zeke

Surely you mean poop lights?
