- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 17 hours ago:
What would he care if it kills a lot of use. Some will stay, even if it becomes just an echo chamber, there will be users who don’t leave and slowly get fed more and more content that changes their bias.
A propaganda machine does have to reach 100% of the population, it just needs to pluck small percentages that were on the outskirts and hold the current believers in a situation where they believe this is better than whatever bologna scenario they make up would happen if they weren’t doing this. America is MUCH safer place to live today than it was when I was born back in 89’.
Yet a large portion of the population does not believe that, because they throw murders in people’s faces through every facet of our lives to make people feel afraid and use security as an excuse to gain further control over people’s rights.
Anyone who thinks “I could leave my doors unlocked back in the 1990s and I can’t today” has been fooled.
Anyone who thinks subways, trains, or public transit isn’t multiple times safer than getting into a car and driving to work, has been fooled.
And social media as well as news stations want us to be angry and scared, because it gets people engaged. Engagement makes them money. Happy people who feel safe go outside and go to the beach, play sports, go hiking, go to movies, join a book club, have a hobby of some sort. None of those things make news outlets money. Social media could, because they could sell ad slots to people who sell products for those hobbies… but I guess it doesn’t make as much.
- Comment on Elon musk is a pedophile 1 day ago:
Is it guaranteed, no. Did he go to Epsteins Island where they trafficked children for sex, yes. Did his father marry his step daughter and get accused of being a pedophile, yes. Very much seems like he was taught it was okay when he “had a colored servant friend” therefore couldn’t be racist.

You don’t need to, but your life will have been without purpose if you don’t see it. Kidding, but I did see it for the first time last year, and it was pretty good
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 3 days ago:
“Containers by design are suppose to be temporary and the runtime data is recreated each time the container is launched. The persistent data is all you should care for.”
So that’s really why they should be good for Jellyfin/File servers, as the data isn’t needing to be stored in container, just the run files. I suppose the config files as well.
When I reverse proxy to my network using wireguard (set up on the jellyfin server, I also think I have a rustdesk server on there) on the other hand, is it worth using a container, or is that just the same either way?
I have shoved way to many things on an old laptop, but I never have to touch it really, and the latest update mint put out actually cured any issues I had. I used to have to reboot once a week or so to get everything back online when it came to my Pihole and shit. Since the latest update I ran in September 4th, I haven’t touched it for anything. Screen just stays closed in a corner of my desk with other shit stacked on top

So let’s say I theoretically wanted to move a docker container to another device or maybe if I were re-installing an OS or moving to another distro, could I in theory drag my local docker container to an external and throw my device in a lake and pull that container off into the new device? If so … what then, I link the startups, or is there a “docker config” where they are all able to be linked and I can tell it which ones to launch on OS launch, User launch, delay or what not?

When you say binaries do you mean locally stored directories kind of like what Lutris or Steam would do for a Windows game. (Create a false c:\ )

For me it’s lack of understanding usually. I haven’t sat down and really learned what docker is/does. And when I tried to use it once I ended up with errors (thankfully they all seemed contained by the docker) but I just haven’t gotten around to looking more into than seeing suggestions to install say Pihole in it. Pretty sure I installed Pihole outside of one. Jellyfin outside, copyparty outside, and I something else im forgetting at the moment.
I was thinking of installing a chat app in one, but I put off that project because I got busy at work and it’s not something I normally use.
I guess I just haven’t been forced to see the upsides yet. But am always wanting to learn

Techradar did an article about this I for some reason remember seeing. (I don’t live in Spain).

I agree but it’s still hard to read, Trump is older than Bush and Clinton. We got to 2016+ and said let’s get guys older than weve had since 91

- Comment on Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October 1 week ago:
Okay so as someone in the U.S. that wants phone calls, texts, and apps of my choosing, what can I use. Because I have to assume every Google pixel will be targeted if they have already started in Spain. Trump’s a one upper
- Comment on Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October 1 week ago:
Well graphene OS I have been told isn’t the best, and saw an article earlier about people who are now being targeted in Spain for having a pixel and arrested so it won’t be long before that spreads. I’m hoping to find something else but we need mass support so it isn’t targeted while it not being a large corporation
- Comment on Microsoft announces it will automatically install the Copilot AI app alongside desktop versions of 365 products like Word, Excel and PowerPoint this October 1 week ago:
Honestly it’s probably an upgrade for O365 but people won’t want to hear that. It’s cloud based shit being integrated with a cloud based graphics cards being able to search and assist with that functionality. If we don’t want our shit on a cloud, we shouldn’t use O365. Copilot isn’t changing much. Their software took its course, just move to libre office and if there is a big enough market, someone will fill the gap if they don’t have the features they need from libre, but I don’t know of any I need.

I like that some developer in that series went out of their way to ensure they could do not wrong when peeing. Out the window… 100% no splash

Wait, are you dragging your schlong against the inside of the toilet so it gets in contact with the water that runs down it?

Leaning and hoping your hand doesn’t go through the drywall. Luckily for me by the time I gained weight I didn’t have the morning issues all the time.
- Comment on From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens are adjusting to the smartphone ban 2 weeks ago:
Pick up the phone call the security guard to come escort them to the office for a 30 day suspension. Happens again expelled.
You can start day one with a message on the board that you have a zero tolerance policy for disrespect
The teachers are there to educate not parent. If the kids aren’t afraid of getting in trouble then it’s the guardians problem. Public education is something that is supposed to be available so kids can learn, and we have turned it into a place to dump your dependents so they can go to work apparently.
- Comment on From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens are adjusting to the smartphone ban 2 weeks ago:
Why don’t they just have rules like we did. Have your phone out in class and you get a lunch detention, next time a detention, 3rd time sent to the office with a recommendation for suspension.
Kids have to learn to be responsible… They will have their phone on them everywhere else in life, like work. Learning to be responsible about it seems like education.
- Comment on How does streaming compare to "analog"? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah phones use hardly any power. For example my phone uses about 7.3 kwh per year if charged every night, which I don’t actually need to charge it fully every night or a full recharge because usually it’s at 60% battery at the end of the day.
So it is about 13.88 cents per kwh where I live, or roughly, $1 per year to charge my phone if I needed a full charge every night.

Okay so to fuck us all over we can go to base 9.
We can divide evenly by 1,3,9. But actually remember:
1/9 - .11111
2/9 - .2222
…
8/9 - .8888
So easily divisable right? /s

- Comment on choice 2 weeks ago:
Yeah if someone is shooting at you it’s a bit late. Being that the character didn’t have a weapon on them I was hoping for a bit of not immediately murder him energy.
Although I suppose once they get there you could just create a couple feet thick wall of shit out of the air around you making an escape funnel. Until you can block their view and escape.
Without having a range/time to perform/nor limits on how much can be converted it really is pretty powerful.

Just need to keep your talent a secret. Put on your mask, grab a shovel, turn all the walls between you and the bank vault to shit, take what you need and leave. Cops come, the bullets/guns/cuffs police left feet to poo. Wash the money figuratively once done cleaning it literally, then figure out your next step.
- Comment on Alternative to github pages? 2 weeks ago:
I was confused when I read it as well, at least I know now that I wasn’t alone. I think the next step is just opening a text editor and starting with <html></html> Forward a couple ports, maybe use caddy to route the port internally but it isn’t needed. Although if you use NOIP with Caddy getting the https cert setup seems to be pretty easy.
