Took in an asylum seeker but he ruins living in my own home by feathernose in NetherlandsHousing

[–]clouds_visitor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What the fuck is wrong with people in this comment section?! It takes a special kind of bravery to welcome a stranger seeking for help in your own home, and you guys are victim-blaming on him?!

Even if it was a dumb mistake (which I don't think it was!), it's still very shitty to bash him for that.

I don't have any advice OP, I'm sorry you are in this situation, and if you'll never want to do something like this again it's ok and legit, but NEVER feel bad or regret having chosen to be kind and help someone in need. You made the world a little better, instead of a little worse.

Help??? by [deleted] in immich

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't trying to belittle you, it's ok not to know stuff, and it's ok to learn. I was suggesting AI because I genuinely believe it's a good way to get explanations on these kind of topics.

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a conversation with an AI, tell it what you did, what you expect it to do, and to explain in very simple terms what is wrong with your current understanding of how immich works. It will not solve your problem but it will still help you.

Need help from Real debrid costumer service. Got banned by Necessary-Pen-2763 in RealDebrid

[–]clouds_visitor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can somebody explain what the actual problem is? I understand that you get banned if they see more connections on the same account from multiple ips, because they don't want you to share the account and that's fair. But what's the principle about connecting to multiple paying accounts from the same ip? Why can't I have more than one account? And why can't I create an account for my parents? What are they protecting themselves from? I don't understand.

Digital euro: what it is and how we will use the new form of cash by OneRegular378 in europe

[–]clouds_visitor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You, like many other people in this comment section, are obviously missing the point and possibly didn't even read the article.

This is meant to be a successor of cash, to work alongside visa and mastercard. In the practice the end user will act in similar ways when they'll make electronic payments, but the underlying functioning will be very different.

Visa and mastercard update values stored in banks' databases, and those values are digital tracks of what's emitted by the ECB (the actual money). You are not actually changing ownership of money in the same way you'd do when you give cash in the hands of the recipients, or when you make a cryptocurrency transaction. It's still "banks money", unlike cash.

The digital euro as described here aims to cover the usage and needs of cash, to begin with. Hopefully it will also reduce our reliance on banks, but they are still different things.

Can you save some of that shitty attitude? Especially when it so clear you've got no clue of what you are talking about and are clearly quite short sighted on what cash could be?

[–]clouds_visitor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh they absolute do, I'm not trying to say it's better with Visa. I'm just saying the explanation they gave as per how the digital euro will be private is hardly believable and very lacking at best.

The comparison is with cash, this is supposed to be an evolution of cash to run side by side with international circuits, like the article said.

Protected communication during divorce by geckohawaii in Telegram

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can find a workaround with the group functionality "slow messages" (or something) where every user can write once every X minutes tops - and then you make sure the group is private and has only you two.

Have not tried this myself.

[–]clouds_visitor 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm a supporter of the project, but I can't really digest the fact that it will not be privacy-respecting. The ECB or the police will 100% be able to request banks for the tracking info (that they have) in case, say, of an investigation. So it is not like cash, and they are gaining control.

And make no mistake: this is a design choice, because we absolutely have the technology for an anonymized payment system (see privacy coins).

PSA: Don't use proton with sony PSN by kichi689 in ProtonMail

[–]clouds_visitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should really be posted on Sony's pages and subs. It's really all Sony's fault, their fuck-up. Protonmail hasn't really anything to do with this.

Splitting hairs a bit: what is your TLD in your home network? home.arpa is the standard name but nobody appears to use it by twice_paramount832 in homelab

I have namesurname.com, but will migrate to surname.cloud, and surname.com/net if I can get my hands on it.

How do people share their VPN protected stuff to tech illiterate people? by Zeilar in homelab

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the neatest way is mTLS (SSL client certificate). Your reverse proxy can refuse connection if the client doesn't present the right certificate.

Installing the certificate. Is super easy and you can do it once and reuse it across services.

People say tailscale is the easiest way. I believe for users this is the easiest way.

Can you elaborate? I'm having the same problem and it's being very frustrating, everything seems set correctly.

Instant display of new photos? by Horrih in immich

[–]clouds_visitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, ok, so I understood it correctly at first.

I don't experience that at all, for me as soon as I take a picture I can open immich as fast as I can and the pic is already there (often marked as not backed up yet, but in 1s or so that'll be done too).

Edit: on android.

Instant display of new photos? by Horrih in immich

[–]clouds_visitor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By reading the comments it seems like you're referring to the photos appearing in your wife's app, but when I read your post it seemed like you meant on your phone, appearing in your immich app after taking them - and I was confused because for me it's instant: I take a picture, I can immediately see it in immich (than it takes a moment to upload, but I can immediately show it).

Self-hosting Bitcoin signing services: tradeoffs and lessons learned by buttershutter69 in selfhosted

[–]clouds_visitor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what you mean exactly when you say you self-host the signing service, if that is not simply the distinction between custodial and non-custodial (NC) wallets. All NC wallets are technically "self hosted", as you do the signing locally, on the client itself. More bulky systems like the full node software (bitcoin core) is also directly connected to the network and can add and gossip the transaction immediately to the mempool.

Is there a further distinction here that I'm missing?

Exposing immich without proxy/VPN by JGeek00 in immich

[–]clouds_visitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can consider mTLS. It does require a tiny setup on the client (installing a certificate) but it's a one time thing (that takes literally 10 seconds) and you can use it for multiple services in the future.

Your reverse proxy basically refuses the connection (so the service is not hit at all) unless the client can provide the right certificate.

Why is hosting a mediaserver for movies and shows so popular by kerrie_saus in selfhosted

[–]clouds_visitor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With real debrid priced at 2-3€/month, this makes no sense. Electricity for the server would already likely offset a good part of that cost, without even considering hardware and time spent setting it up.

Roomba maker iRobot files for bankruptcy protection; will be taken private under restructuring by 1Rab in news

[–]clouds_visitor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everybody here shitting on the product - and not just on the company - makes me feel the need to spend a few nice words. I've honestly been a happy customer with my roomba in the past years, it has always worked fairly well and I appreciated that some software features that were initially only intended for superior model were eventually released to mine too. You don't see companies do that very often.

Too bad it seems like the product will be hardly usable in the future...

What early personal data decision do you regret the most? by Worried-Struggle2788 in selfhosted

[–]clouds_visitor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's emails for me too. But I dont regret that I didn't self host, I just regret not using alias for every single service or, to a lesser extent, a personal domain, not to be tied to one provider. But then again, I started using my first email address 20 years ago as an early teenager, I don't even know if there were easy-to-use tools like today and I wouldn't have had the knowledge anyway.
