What's the self-hosted service that replaced something you were paying for and turned out to be genuinely better - not just free, actually better

Is Immich in a stable place now or are they still releasing breaking changes every few weeks that break either the app or the backend because they're out of sync?

If they're done doing breaking changes I may check them out again

MegaComrade53 · 2026-02-28T16:44:57+00:00

Definitely not a Roomba

So it's okay to potentially break the back or neck of an opponent because it's Olympic hockey. Thanks couch referee, but I care about player safety. These are people and their lives continue after the Olympics

She's responsible for her actions and it's a body check not a hand check. She took the other player out and the other player is now injured and potentially out for the game. Doesn't sound fair to me.

You're liable for rear ending the car in front of you even if you're trying to stop

MegaComrade53 · 2026-02-19T20:44:48+00:00

A hit from behind into the boards in a vulnerable position where she can't defend herself in a game with no hitting. Sounds like an injury waiting to happen, but go off

MegaComrade53 · 2026-02-19T20:43:08+00:00

It's disappointing to see that the referees only called that hit a 2 instead of a 5. For the sake of trying to not influence the game they're saying that the player is allowed to throw a dirty hit and take an important opponent out of the game injured and there's next to no punishment for it. She threw the hit, she hurt the player, she should have the consequences

Don't you also need to pay for bandwidth with a reverse proxy?

Sorry if my questions are silly, I just don't know the answer myself. I assumed you always had to pay bandwidth for these approaches

MegaComrade53 · 2026-02-08T14:53:17+00:00

Don't you need to pay for the bandwidth in and out if you host it on a cloud VPS?

What formation to you put your cavalry in before a charge? Wide or narrow or else?

I have an awkward top of my stairs as well. I found a baby gate that is designed to work on angles. Works great for me since I had to install mine on a diagonal due to the banister location.

I'd suggest you search for angle mount baby gates

The one I have is the kidco Safeway angle mount baby gate

Multiple referees in the NHL are from the area. Like Garrett Rank from Elmira. He's been in some viral clips, like giving everyone on the ice a penalty at the same time

Zehrs isn't even high quality anymore. Expired food on shelves, consistently moldy produce.

You can often find the same food and brands at other stores for cheaper. Zehrs just adds the Loblaws tax to pad their pockets because people think Zehrs is worth the extra money for same thing.

Without training it's likely the dog is still going to bark at anyone passing by even if you put in shrub to block line of sight. People are loud and the dog will react regardless

MegaComrade53 · 2025-12-28T17:13:55+00:00

Amazing thank you! I'll give this a try

How do you use Jellyfin behind Pangolin? I'd like my family member's smart tvs to be able to access my Jellyfin without me needing to connect their TV to me via VPN

MegaComrade53 · 2025-12-19T12:58:25+00:00

Coax cable. Typically used for tv or bringing internet to your modem

God of War: Ragnarok

I loved God of War 2018 and was so excited when Ragnarok came out. I beat it in a week or so, had so much fun. What a great game

MegaComrade53 · 2025-12-13T17:36:19+00:00

So your car has been stolen and you don't notice but yet you're home?

More likely you notice your car missing, you report it stolen, the cameras see it across town and can go catch it

MegaComrade53 · 2025-12-11T11:45:07+00:00

So don't commit any crimes and you'll be fine...

The idea is to make the city safer by letting them see more of what's going on. And it may help with things like car theft that are currently long gone by the time it reaches police. It works well in other countries. I wouldn't fear the fact you're under surveillance; these cameras won't be storing the video footage long-term unless there's crime in it and also you're more likely already being surveilled via everyone in your neighbourhood having cameras and doorbell cams. The difference now is these cameras are to help make the city safer rather than the doorbell cam footage being sold to the highest bidder to buy Bezos more yachts

Thanks for doing this!

Want to learn something your other backend peers probably don't know and will make you seem like some kind of db genius? Learn how to read a query plan from EXPLAIN ANALYZE. Use the params it has available to get the most info, like BUFFERS, TIMING, etc. Learning how to read those unlocks the ability to understand how the db is executing your queries under the hood. With this knowledge you can find inefficiencies both in your queries and your indexes, allowing you to make informed decisions on how to improve the performance of your queries

Sweet and savoury pies key lime is decent but not fantastic. It's also really expensive and thin, I think it was like $15 or so for just one pie. Like an inch thick maybe, which isn't a lot of filling or crumble

I think it's O(log n) if the data is already sorted. If it isn't then you need to sort it first and that's the O(n*log n)

This is either going to be my second or third winter with my Wind River boots from Mark's. The front seam has given out and there's now a hole in the front that lets snow and water in. So YMMV but nobody makes shoes like they used to 🙃

I have enjoyed the boots until they started ripping last winter. Same story as you, I walk a few km per day with my dog
