    Huh, really? I never watched them because it was just aggregation stuff, but I guess I'll have to give them another try.

    Dude, someone joined LM, stole an early design of the F-35's body, and was already back in China before they got caught. I guarantee that some random internet stranger saying publi…

    I'm quite a fan of self-hosting, but I can certainly acknowledge that sometimes cloud solutions are better. But it's not fair to only compare to a Synology NAS. If you're fine just…

    It works with my sway setup [1], but only on Chromium, not Librewolf. I'm pretty sure it's just a Librewolf/FF issue, since it seems to open pop-ups in new tabs, not as windows. [1…
