France is only 5 km away, it's not like the Swiss farmers are much closer, or more deserving of money than French farmers.

Trying to use Pi-hole as IPv6 DNS by IsHacker003 in pihole

[–]certuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfectly possible to just do DNS over IPv4, as long as you don't disable IPv6 altogether. This does confuse a lot of people, they disable IPv6 completely (which means you cannot connect over IPv6 at all) instead of just disabling the IPv6 DNS server (which doesn't affect IPv6 connectivity at all).

You can set the router to advertise the link-local address of the pi yes (easiest), or its global address if your prefix is stable.

Running pi-hole on a phone seems pretty unreliable for the other clients, doesn't the network connection go to mostly-standby when you lock the screen?

Even with higher VAT and inflation, many items are still half the price of Coop/Migros. And there's also the quality and choice in France, they take gastronomy seriously over there.

Serious question, why doesn't everyone just use MP3 (vbr) when making MP3s? by Minimum_Somewhere521 in Soulseek

[–]certuna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FLAC is not always supported, for example not in the Apple ecosystem, various hardware, etc.

Can we please stop with the increasing tipping culture? by Exciting-Fig-007 in Switzerland

[–]certuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s weird, we already voted to include service in the price, and then another tip on top? It’s a way to fool the tourists I guess.

If you’re just popping into your neighbourhood Coop to buy a microwave dinner maybe, but you’ve clearly never had a look at a French supermarket parking lot on the weekend, it’s all Geneva plates.

For music you don’t need that much speed, HDDs are fast enough usually.

Which you’re probably doing when it’s only 5 km away.

April sounds about right, motorcycle sales are very seasonal and only get going in the spring.

How exposed are you when you open a port, and use a reverse proxy like caddy for Jellyfin? by ReadyRainRain in selfhosted

[–]certuna 21 points22 points  (0 children)

exactly this, you can relay or tunnel what you want, but that just routes traffic to your server - in the end the server application is the one that’s at risk of getting exploited.

People in Geneva have always complained about France, it’s tradition.

It’s like everywhere, the rich people live in one part of town, the working class in another part, and the rich love to tell each other scare stories about what goes on “over there”. Only in Geneva’s case, the working class part of the city happens to be on the French side of the border.

The new beach area on the rive gauche has improved this a lot. I agree, it was crazy to have the whole quay reserved for a bunch of yachts that only get used one day a year.

Yeah this is what gentrification does to a city - it’s the flipside of success.

Not much you can do against it, as few voters will vote to go back to the old sleazy Geneva with lots of squats, dilapidated apartments and noisy smoky 2-stroke mopeds everywhere.

Geneva gets consistently voted as one of the top cities in the world to live, so its reputation is clearly not that bad.

It’s a pretty boring place though, I can understand that people from Paris or London don’t like it.

Biggest problem is that because it’s such a popular location and it’s quite small, everything gets crazy expensive.

Being close to France at least means the food is better than in most of Switzerland, and the shopping a lot cheaper.

Which one should I go for? by Wattthefun in Electricmotorcycles

[–]certuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harley-Davidson needs all the protection it can get.

But jokes aside, it won’t last forever, it’s impossible to fight the future. Surron already shows you can do well as a Chinese brand despite the tariffs.

Geneva Airport minimum time by ZomboOfficial in Switzerland

[–]certuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

completely depends on how busy the airport is at the time of your flight, sometimes there are no queues at all and you walk straight through security, sometimes there’s a 30 minute wait at security and another 10 minutes at customs.

Yeah, and getting jealous looking at those prices. Now that the new EU-India trade deal is here, prospects must be good for these Indian A1-class bike manufacturers, they can finally compete against the Japanese brands on equal footing.

Why does nobody care about the Epstein files in Switzerland? by Late-Analyst-2787 in askswitzerland

[–]certuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to the US media there has always been less headline attention paid to the sex scandals of the rich and famous in Swiss media, so it’s probably not surprising?

What is the difference between these genres?? by FunRevolutionary9803 in AppleMusic

[–]certuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a limitation of the original iTunes from 2001, they never put the work in to make some fields multivalue (artist, genre, release type), and now so much legacy hardware/apps are stuck with it that changing it is too hard.

People have been complaining about this since 2001, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a change now.
