  • Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Even as a general user I’ve come across illegal shit on Telegram, so they clearly aren’t even attempting to moderate. It would be absolutely zero surprise that obvious terrorist organizations like ISIL would be using the platform for some communication and recruiting. And that doesn’t even get into subjective shit like Russian aggression and attacks on civilians in Ukraine, which many would consider terrorist attacks.







  • PiHole, Jellyseerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Emby, Syncthing, Homepage, Home Assistant, and Snipe-IT.

    PiHole is self explanatory.

    Jellyseerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Syncthing and Emby are used for media management and streaming, alongside a remote seedbox.

    Homepage is a locally hosted browser landing page with widgets for network monitoring.

    Home Assistant for locally hosted home automation controls.

    Snipe-IT for asset management. Way overkill for a home user, but it’s free to self-host. Make sure all my assets are listed, can upload receipts, photos warranty info, manufacturer info, etc. so it’s a single place to find all of that information if I ever need it.





  • I can understand why they don’t put a Linux-specific icon, because there is such a variety of builds and hardware permutations that people could start complaining “it said it could run on Linux but it doesn’t run on my Linux.“

    Steam already indicates which games will run on Linux, without any distro or configuration caveats. There’s literally an entire section of the store for “SteamOS & Linux” games, and games that support multiple platforms have the system requirements listed for each of those supported platforms.

    We’re just talking about putting the icon for the platform they used on the review, to help you filter reviews that may be more or less relevant. Linux users complaining about Linux related issues aren’t relevant to Windows users for instance, and vice versa. Same goes for the 15 or so MacOS gamers I guess too.




  • It should also show icons for the OS as well. Since games can have dramatically different issues and performance depending on the OS sometimes. Having an icon showing a review is from a Linux machine compared to Windows for instance can help figure out if your system might be affected by reviews mentioning something that all seems to be from one type of OS.

    Heck, I’d even take it a step further and have it include basic system specs for each review since Steam already gets that info.




  • This is what I did after running consumer Linksys and ASUS routers, including with OpenWRT.

    I moved to a Unifi setup and haven’t had any issues. I can manage it remotely if I need to, like another household member needs something changed or fixed. I’ve never had to restart it to fix an issue, it just works.

    Easy upgrades without having to replace the entire setup and move settings over manually. Especially easy wireless upgrades, almost just plug and play replacing the old access point antenna.

    And if you need just a small setup and you run a home server you can run the management software on there instead of something like their dedicated Cloud Key device.
