We’re fucked. I told my therapist this. I told our financial planner that I don’t expect us to survive, but we opened the account for my partner to take care of her. We’re gonna destroy ourselves. Will it be on the timeline I expect? Maybe not. But T2 has already proven that things are moving faster than I had anticipated.
Humans: A nice experiment. Maybe talking dogs will be the next ascendent species.
Tribalism. We care more about being accepted by our desired peers than being correct. At least, that’s what articles and podcasts have told me. Also, stupid. Weaken education and make people stupid and unable to think critically. Do you think Ted Cruz (Harvard) was complaining about the Paris Accord because he genuinely didn’t know that it wasn’t Paris-only? His voters are goddamned morons and he knows it. The contempt is sickening, but they see none of it.
You’re probably looking for something like phpMyAdmin. A lot of hosting companies offer it (I had to log into my own to look up the name of the software). I would host in a European nation if you could (people love Hetzner; I haven’t used any outside the USA). I believe that’s a relatively save route to data sovereignty and I doubt they’d honor a court order from your country demanding records or access to your data, but you should research carefully and not trust some half-knowledgeable / half-ignorant guy on the internet (me) if you’re putting yourself at risk.
I think people on Lemmy will be genuinely friendly about answering questions if you demonstrate that you’ve put in an honest effort to learn things on your own and don’t ask people to basically do the thinking for you. Unix / Linux / network / server nerds like talking about this stuff and are happy to help each other learn so long as there’s a sense of respecting other people’s time by trying to do things on your own and only asking for expertise because you tried first but got stuck. That’s been my experience, anyway, over the years (big old nerd right here).
There’s always a 10% chance one of the kitties is eating the flowers in the kitchen. The evidence remains after. More rarely, she’ll jump down and run away when caught in the act. She’s even done it in front of us when we were watching TV and she thought we wouldn’t notice.
Someone even completely knocked over a vase and spilled whatever everywhere last month. She swears it wasn’t her. Must have been a burglar.
I don’t self-host email but I don’t use my own domain to have control over it. Look into FastMail and a custom domain. That’s the happy path.
YES! This was a huge deal that what a lucky mishap rather than a sign of good security.

Btw, Jia Tan is an awesome software dev that you should hire. /s
We’re all completely pwned. That’s the only way to feel ok for me. My info has been compromised tons of times and no one notified me. I just accept it. I practice good security and I know that some of the companies on the other side don’t. I can’t change that.
Have you accepted that you’re gonna die? If yes, you should adopt this attitude. If not, I’m sorry that you’re so afraid of the natural process. Try to be healthy. Try to be secure. Accept that you’re gonna die or get pwned or both. It’s a lot healthier mindset (IMO).
Oh, cool! Red Hat! The people who run a company charging for support. This makes me feel very safe.
Ever since the ssh thing, but especially in the last few months, I really don’t feel safe with anything on the internet.
I’ve owned a few devices like Orange Pi but really more as a curiosity that I never did much with. I have, however, seen discussions suggesting that when you move away from the RasPi ecosystem, support for various tooling gets more complicated because you’re in a much smaller pool of hardware and this makes them more effort to setup. I don’t know the validity of that, but it sounded plausible to me.
Just get a Pi. Just because you don’t need wifi doesn’t mean it won’t potentially be useful down the road.
Fair point.
Comedian Daniel Sloss said something about thanking god after surviving cancer: No, it was the doctors, stupid. (We have tickets to see him soon. Check if he’s in your area, he’s awesome.)
“God” is the greatest cause of murder and war. It’s fucking stupid. In the old testament, he’s a fucking dick. Seriously, what an asshole. But “christians” who know nothing about the book they proselytize pretend they have a moral obligation to be assholes to people they don’t like.
I’ve studied and read more historical and educational books on early christianity than any right-wing republican asshole (I live in the USA), I guarantee it. I was on a serious mission for about 18 months after years of casual Wikipedia browsing. But it’s not just christians.
Any person who makes their religion known to strangers is a weak piece of shit. Wear a cross, a burka, a kippah, whatever. You suck. It should be private. Advertising your beliefs shows how insecure you are about them. I don’t need to prove a goddamn thing to anyone because I’m confident that I’m morally correct. You know why you need “god above”? Because you’re not sure what to think without someone telling you what’s right and wrong.
If it wasn’t the right code, it wouldn’t be so popular. /s

This is the best laugh I’ve had this morning. So good that I’m literally about to close the window to end on a high note. Awesome. Also, dupe please close.
Or just stick with an instance that doesn’t block others and judge for yourself. I thought Hexbears were descent people experiencing crisis as we all flooded in.
Send it to the admin(s) of the instance. I’m sure they don’t want to host that bullshit.
Ever since IBM / Red Hat ruined CentOS, I’ve been using Debian when I need Linux. Welcome in from the cold. We have hot coco and blankets.
PiHole and Plex? Plex will help generate need for a NAS. It worked for me.
Install Fedora in a VM if you can?
I’m still pretty pissed off about that. It’s when I learned that a huge number of my fellow citizens are really stupid. Covid was when I learned that they’re also hateful pieces of shit.
Freedom fries, you guys. Woohoo.
Fuck that. It was predicted a full year before. This is bullshit. Stop reading the NYT. They lied about the attack on Oct 7 (claimed sex crimes that didn’t happen) and never made a retraction. I cancelled my subscription to them and to the Washington Post (cause Bezos killed an opinion piece endorsing Biden, who I voted for because fuck Trump, but Biden was a terrible candidate).
Listen to the audio-book, “Manufacturing Consent,” from Noam Chomsky. Unfortunately, he’s in the Epstein docs, so I can’t recommend him otherwise. Oh well. All these people are monsters.
I never heard of this. Not at an age where this affects me anymore, but cool if true. Meanwhile, I will poor shots in shot glasses if we have company and just down my liquor without measuring otherwise.
