And some copyrighted shit from Dolby. Granted, header files only.

At first I was… wow, no shit! Open source Winamp!

But then I went through the Github issues (because, 6 hours since first commit and already 5 issues open?). As someone else put it, “This has got to be the most embarrassing open-sourcing i’ve seen to date.”. The licensing is a mess, the coverup is a dumpster fire. By tomorrow this is going to be as viral as Twitter’s “open sourcing” of its recommendation algorithm they did last year. Not sure if I should make coffee or popcorn in the morning.

Please don’t go the RaspberryPi route for serious self-hosting, you’ll regret it later when you’ll realize it’s not powerful enough for ie NextCloud. It can handle PiHole for example (minus digging through the historical logs / stats via its interface), but when adding more and more services (Nextcloud, Jellyfin, a VPN, home automation, etc), it will be easier to expand via VMs (Proxmox) / Docker on a single machine that you need to maintain, you’d have easier snapshot backups, single point for firewall rules, etc, than adding RPIs. Buy a mini server, you’ll have flexibility, room for upgrade, and the costs and power consumption will be justified when scaling to multiple services.

‘no immediate timeline’ toward monetization

Soo, starting tomorrow

Pffffft.

I second the idea of a VPN instead of directly exposing devices or software to the internet. Requires more work and learning but it’s more secure. I would argue that well-known VPNs are more scrutinized and pentested than any camera software ever.

I’m rebooting my router every week via a crontab because some dynamic dns update process fails from time to time and I find it hanging. No time to debug the actual problem.

Well, that’s what you get for hosting on a Windows server. XAMPP / WAMPP should only be used for local development environments. And I’m sure they still have horrible non-production config defaults.

Why did he throw the grenade to his rear?

UntrackMe, doesn’t open an app, but redirects to a chosen Invidious instance. I use farside.link/invidious which chooses a random instance closer to you.

They already have a shitty job, no need to make them clean dog poop, shaworma and ice-cream off the pavement too.

My best friend, the Uber driver, which I prefer to shut up all the way home. But hey, what are friends for, he keeps me hydrated!

I’m not sure what you’re comparing it to. Keepass is free too, in fact it’s open source. In my opinion, local software and database that is under your control is always superior to cloud.

Keepass over Bitwarden offers a lot of plugins and integrations, again, if you want more customization or automation.

But, I would say you can use any online password manager as long as it’s end to end encrypted, so Bitwarden is a good choice.

Oh Arnold, where art thou?

I don’t have children yet in any poll made by my city council I vote for more schools and kindergartens instead of parking lots. And always vote for funding education and stop the man-made climate disaster, because that’s what will keep our species on track. I don’t really care about parents, they made their own choice, just like I did. You chose the responsibility, because it also comes with happiness and a sense of fullfilment. I do care about the children and their future though, and wish future generations have a life at least as happy as I have, because, you know, being alive is awesome. I want humankind to thrive in the future, even if I don’t have any skin in the game, because that’s what an intelligent human being should think like. You were given a chance of life, just give it back. What a skewed, utterly ridiculous point of view you have. If you have that opinion of people without kids, I don’t want to know how you treat actual minorities.

Jesus, what a bunch of needless “security”. They’re tickets to a concert, ffs. This is all for personal data mining.

Trading day ain’t over yet

Well, I did not expect this.

My friend doesn’t get it
