A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.

I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things, too.

  • If you google it, you’ll find lots of similar questions for O2. I think you have to contact their customer support and get that activated once.

    And have a look at your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Sometimes you can do it via IPv6 already, just not over IPv4 because there is some translation in the way. (In case they want too much money to give you a real IPv4 address.)

    Maybe you can try if you can open your FritzBox UI from the outside with your my.fritz address. I think that has IPv6 and a port forward in place (if activated).

    And btw: It’s perfectly fine to do it. People need storage and online collaboration. Access to their data while away.





  • I met people here on Lemmy who thought Sailor Moon was child porn…

    What was the subreddit? Maybe this wasn’t what you think it is but you were off-topic like they claimed?

    Edit: Ah, seems r/TrueOffMyChest. They’re right in deleting your post. You stated your opinion on the gaming world and that game. TrueOffMyChest say in the first sentence, it’s not about personal opinions. So you posted it to the wrong subreddit. It’s about personal stories (from your life)! So it’s your fault. And they don’t necessarily agree or disagree with you on the facts. It’s just that you spammed stuff somewhere where it doesn’t belong. Nothing else.









  • Oh… Yeah, they’re idiots. And don’t have a clue. I think you should try to ignore them if you don’t plan on dating them. Maybe don’t have them be close friends either.

    In my experience such random bullying is quite common in school. But once your grow up, such things become more rare in the adult world. Your mileage may vary. There are adult bullies and a*holes who like to pick on people. They’ll find something to tease and bait you. Outer appearance is a common and cheap way to do it.

    If you’re still in school: It might become better after that. If not: Congratulations, you met some proper pricks. I hope they’re just some random people you don’t have to interact with ever again.



  • I’m not sure if 3-4 times a day is a lot. I had computers (especially laptops) which were way more aggressive with spinning up and down the disks. Maybe you can look it up. A decent (enterprise(?)) hdd should have some datasheet available including info about how often you can powercycle or spin them up/down.

    And I wouldn’t wake up disks deliberately. If you don’t mind the 5-10s waiting, you can just spin them down at the end of the day and leave them that way. The next day they’ll either spin up on first access, or they won’t. And save that one cycle. I’m not sure though if you can change the spindown timeout during the day without also waking it up. I mean you could run a script that spins them down at 22:00 and sets the timeout to 1h, and at 07:30 you run a script to keep them awake for a 6h period. But you’d need to test if changing that setting wakes them up. Or I’d rather not run a script like that. Sometimes executing hdparm spins up a disk, even if unnecessary.
