It’s a ploy from Microsoft to push Copilot: you have to ask it to open the programs or folders you want. /s

FFS… I’m never going to buy anything hyped by LTT before doing more thorough research on it.

Have you tried Piper’s speech models? You can use Pied to install a model and set Orca to use it by default. The French one is very good.

I don’t think Pi-Hole can query DoT and DoH resolvers directly. People usually set up unbound or AdGuard’s dnsproxy, configure it to forward queries to the DoT/DoH resolver and set it as Pi-Hole’s upstream resolver.

I have no experience with Wallabag, but I have been pretty happy with Readeck. Skimming through Wallabag’s documentation, I would say they are pretty similar, while both have unique features. For example, Wallabag has annotations (you can only highlight in Readeck), and Android and iOS apps; whereas Readeck can export collections to eBooks, has RSS feeds for pretty much anything (all articles, unread, archives, collections, etc.) and its browser extension allows to only save part of a page (by selecting it first) and to directly send the page content to your instance (which is useful when saving paywalled content)

Caddy with DNS provider module: https://caddy.community/t/how-to-use-dns-provider-modules-in-caddy-2/8148

I would add that you can follow this guide for building Caddy with DNS Provider modules. For Docker you can start from the instructions for Caddy Docker Proxy

Currently The Outer Worlds (I know, I’m 6 years late to the party) and the odd game of Word Play.

I actually switched from Action Laucnher to Nova because the former kept crashing.

Does anyone have recommendations to replace Nova?

While I agree with you, I wished that Mehta would entertain the idea of spinning Chrome into an independent company, even though it is still unclear to me how a browser company can generate revenue, especially to pay the salaries of the army of engineers working on Blink.

Aw, chucks

The author did not mention that you as a end user can customize rankings for every website and build custom searches (lenses), which are in my opinion the features that make Kagi unique and more useful than other meta search engines. And to my knowledge you cannot replicate those in SearNXG.

I think the more damning part is the fact that OpenAI’s automated moderation system flagged the messages for self-harm but no human moderator ever intervened.

OpenAI claims that its moderation technology can detect self-harm content with up to 99.8 percent accuracy, the lawsuit noted, and that tech was tracking Adam’s chats in real time. In total, OpenAI flagged “213 mentions of suicide, 42 discussions of hanging, 17 references to nooses,” on Adam’s side of the conversation alone.

[…]

Ultimately, OpenAI’s system flagged “377 messages for self-harm content, with 181 scoring over 50 percent confidence and 23 over 90 percent confidence.” Over time, these flags became more frequent, the lawsuit noted, jumping from two to three “flagged messages per week in December 2024 to over 20 messages per week by April 2025.” And “beyond text analysis, OpenAI’s image recognition processed visual evidence of Adam’s crisis.” Some images were flagged as “consistent with attempted strangulation” or “fresh self-harm wounds,” but the system scored Adam’s final image of the noose as 0 percent for self-harm risk, the lawsuit alleged.

Had a human been in the loop monitoring Adam’s conversations, they may have recognized “textbook warning signs” like “increasing isolation, detailed method research, practice attempts, farewell behaviors, and explicit timeline planning.” But OpenAI’s tracking instead “never stopped any conversations with Adam” or flagged any chats for human review.

I use unbound as an upstream resolver for Pi-hole, not directly on my machines. Be aware that resolving new domains can incur some delay (about 1s), but once cached, it’s pretty quick, even for additional entries on the same domain.

1: I’m assuming (hoping) this wouldn’t be a full wipe and start over? It should just upgrade right?

Yes, you can upgrade in-place. If I recall correctly, you just have to change the release channel from LTS to non-LTS in the Sources app, then trigger an update (I don’t quite remember how to do)

2: Do I need to do the whole USB route, and if so is there an option to keep everything (I’m hoping, I put a LOT of work into this so far and I don’t remember if that was an option on first install).

No, as I said above. But it’s always a good idea to have backups if you ever need to wipe and re-install.

3: I remember a few apps I installed were specific to Noble, will this break those apps?

Hard to be 100% sure without knowing which apps and how they were installed, but most likely yes as their dependencies might no longer be available on Plucky.

4: It seems like there should be an option to upgrade from the desktop, but I don’t have that option. If I run plasma-distro-release-notifier I should get an update notification right? In which case I can just say “hell yeah!” and it’ll do its thing?

Refer to my first answer

What’s your issue exactly?

Personally, I set up Caddy with subdomains like radarr.local.example.tld, added a DNS entry on my domain so that *.local.example.tld points to the local IP of Caddy, then followed this guide so that Caddy issues TLS certificates using the DNS challenge (since the subdomains don’t point to anything accessible from Internet) along with the caddy-docker-proxy plug-in to easily manage upstreams.

Don’t you have any off-site backup? It would help keeping some peace of mind knowing you have a copy somewhere else.

In my experience with unbound, it tends to return expired records in the hope that they are still valid, causing issues with services hosted in the cloud, where IP addresses rotate regularly. What I did was update the serve-expired-ttl setting in unbound’s configuration to 3 hours (down from the default 24h)

Ah, good idea! I just don’t have any non-magnetic screwdriver at home, I’m afraid as to what might happen if I get its magnetic tip close to a drive.

Oh wait, I found a lousy screwdriver, it works like a charm! It’s definitely the bottom one. Thank you very much!
