  • I really would love something like Amie Street before Amazon bought it to kill it. I got so much great music on there for pennies which then led me to buy more and more from those artists. My problem is I need to hear a song a few times before it digs into my soul. And preferably not when I’m paying too close attention to the technical aspects so it can hit me more emotionally. So just having a 10-30 second preview or just hearing it one time is never going to be enough to hook me on an artist. Also, cheaper b-sides since it was demand based meant I was much more likely to hear more of their music and get more invested in the artist.





  • DNS over TLS handles that. No need for DoH really. Unless DNS ports are blocked or captured by NAT or something and you need to use port 443 with DoH. At least not with a DNS server.

    DoH is useful for individual applications to do their own DNS lookups bypassing the OS or network level DNS. Otherwise DoH and DoT provide the same basic protection. DoT is just at a lower network layer and thus more easily applies more broadly across the network or OS rather than being application or resolver specific. There’s never been a real need for a DNS server to use DoH instead of DoT unless DoT is blocked upstream.


  • Use VPN or DDNS connected to your domain registrar. Of course DDNS might not update immediately, especially if your domain host is not the same as your DNS provider, so you might have outages for short periods when your IP changes. So, depends on if you’re OK with that or what kind of connection you have and whether it changes your IP a lot.

    Also, might be able to get an IPv6 address for free depending on your ISP or at least you can set up your router to request that your address block is retained for you. I know Comcast does this. Unfortunately, my ISP does not.



  • I mean it’s kind of like the “humans evolved from monkeys” or whatever primate you want to substitute for monkey. No, they branched off from a common ancestor though.

    I mean lots of people get mixed up between BSD, Linux, UNIX, and all the variations over the years. Is MacOS a version of Linux? No. Is a human a type of ape? No. Are MacOS and Linux way, way closer than either are to Windows, hell yes. Just like people are way closer to being monkeys than swallows. There’s a lot of mixed breeding in both examples and a lot of total incompatibilities as well.





  • Yeah I think hashes in the same folder are only valuable as a check to make sure you downloaded the file successfully. Which isn’t a big issue for at least the around 80% of internet users who have access to broadband. They are only useful for security if the hash is on the website that you click on and then you download and verify it manually.


  • Not OP, but for me the issue is if you want to override the default and make it opt-out, especially sine the opt-out process isn’t that well documented, then you should realize that support is a necessary part of that process and fix problems as they arise rather than resorting to name calling and hostile behavior when something you published is broken. It’s a responsibility of taking on that kind of project. Either that or make it explicitly opt-in and give users a warning like with beta version opt-in notifications that the packages are not official and issues may not be fixed as quickly as the official releases.


  • Mine has those, but it was a different model that had the hardware required to do WiFi. Likely it’s not included and unless the device was designed to modify, it’s likely that the motherboard doesn’t have a way to add it easily and there won’t be much space to do your own WiFi card and soldering if the board does have the connections and support in the firmware/BIOS. Best bet would be a USB WiFi card.


  • Yeah, the system was on a single server at first and eventually expanded to either a docker swarm or Kubernetes cluster. So the single server acts as both a docker host and an NFS server.

    I’ve had this happen multiple times, so I use this pattern by default. Mostly these are volumes with just config files and other small stuff that it’s OK if it’s duplicated in the docker cache. If it is something like large image caches or videos or other volumes that I know will end up very large then I probably would have started with storage off the server in the beginning. It saves a significant amount of time to not have to reconfigure everything as it expands if I just have a template that I use from the start.
