Aug 11th is the peak this year. Should be good tonight too :)

When does Bolton’s tenure end? I’ve seen this guys named on so many shit shows for a really, really long time… Warhawk temper-tantrum weirdo

Oh just looked it up in wikipedia. He’s held some office during Regan, George HW, George W and Donald’s presidency… Doing shit show work all along the way. His tenure is ended, if we vote accordingly

Plz vote; kthx!

Yeah, looks like the bot needs a little attention from the devs

I second this.

I have a nextcloud instance on pi4 for personal use and love it.

It’s not good for live transcoding of video, but works great for calendars, file sharing, photo sharing and music streaming.

I have a 500 gig SSD for most stuff and a 6TB HDD for backups and archiving.

I use docker compose to map a folder called archive in my instance to the HDD.

I thin there should be a proper study and maybe proposal to Legalize and lightly-regulate class-A drugs so the Cartel loses their main revenue stream, black market drugs.

I am pulling this out my butt, but Im betting the main source of capital in the cartel’s economy is wealthy people buying drugs. Poor people too, but Im betting the wealthy addicts with jobs and clean records contribute more.

If we rerouted those funds to actual tax-revenue-generating jobs the Cartel mightlosee somepowera and our economy wouldn’t be leaking so much money to the illegal drug trade.

Which norms and why?

Breaking free from societal norms because they are norms will not get you anywhere.

Wearing a shirt that says Fuck you and being a glum dick about everything wont win you friends or convert anyone to your cause.

Being approachable and listening to others in order to connect with them as a human… Then when they ask if you want to hail satan as is the norm and you say no, my friend, for I only praise the Sun. They may be more inclined to see some sun followers as not total assholes as they pray to our dark lord

Itf youre in a situation for it, it can be fun to move to a placewhenre others choose a different societal norm more in line with your own ideals. Like Florida, where some child labor laws were repealed… Take that societal norm

Why I started with, “Yep”. Another word for yes.

Yep, so vote Bernie in the primaries, then when he loses the primary and the election is Biden vs Trump vote Biden.

It sucks that our election system has been warped into a two party shitshow, but here we are.

Our ecosystem will not survive a Trump term. That means our food supply will not survive a Trump term. We do not want a neverending dust bowl.

Additionally of you really think Trump will do anything for peace you haven’t been listening to his words or looked at his actions.

Word! Thanks for the info

I didnt realize. Do you have more info on this?

I love this so much

Any reason why?

I use Raspian on my pi and Ubuntu on my workstation and I maintain a debian server at work.

I love 'em all. Ubuntu Snaps arent my fav. but other than that they’ve been great

What drives me nuts is Bernie would win big.

He talks about things people care about and makes sense. He was a huge hit at his town-hall meeting on FOX news a few years ago.

If he and Clinton had teamed up in 2016 I think dems would have won the electoral college, not just the popular vote.

Thanks for making me google Ken Keasy lol. I liked Cuckoos nest. I had no idea the author was an Army psychedlic test subject and worked in a psyciactric ward

Could you clarify how it’s like Ken Keasy?

PS -why you getting downvoted so hard? Due to lack of references or something?

Is this still true? Damn shame if so

Got any good examples of this?

I do know that between 1950 and 2000 poverty and starvation dropped like a stone. I havent been watching closely enough to tell for the past couple decades. I don’t mean to sound cynical, but it can be hard to tell what’s slavery and what’s improvement of living standards through the media and on such short timescales

I know theyre installing a ton of solar/wind. Superbundance could happen there and that could be great. I got my fingers crossed.

How’s agriculture doing?

I think they’re very well positioned with electric cars and are going to take marketshare from everyone else in that industry.

I hope they quit killing the sea and bossing around their neighbors

Their effots in Africa are probably going to benefit them greatly. I hope they arent doing to Africa whatthre US did with South America in early/mid 20th century… with the saddling of unpayable debts, extracting resources and installing viscious dictators

I read recently OPECy folks are openly conspiring to flood Africas market with cheap and shitty fossil fuel power plants and cars to expand the oil market. It’d be rad someone flooded it with cheaper and better electric cars/heatpumps and renewable power. I wish the US/Europe would

This was one of my first thoughts on this too. Reminds me a bit of those western millennial/GenZ articles that are blown way out of proportion

Regardless I hope the governmental response is steering towards a bright solarpunk future of abundance and a healthy ecosystem to regain relevance for the next generation. Further encroachment of authoritarianism to maintain power and further alienate their smart kids doesn’t help anyone long-term

I hope the same for all governments, really

But lightning is this huge deathray from the gods. The fish are just very tingly and ouchy and makes you twitch.

Very good points.

In my case I just need to for a couple users with maybe a few dozen transactions a day; it’s far from being a bottleneck and there’s little point in optimizing it further.

Containerizing it also has the benefit of boiling all installation and configuration into one very convenient dockercompose file… Actually two. I use one with all the config stuff that’s published to gitea and one that has sensitive data.

good to hear. maybe I should try again
