Im not saying Zuck is good or a savior of choice, but now would be a good time for facebook investors to pressure him to eat that difference.
Not that he should, but hes all in on Open Source*

- Comment on Does it make sense to persue higher education after 40 years ood? 1 day ago:
Sounds affordable. Im not a financial advisor but it sounds like a sound investment. I say do it.
- Comment on Does it make sense to persue higher education after 40 years ood? 1 day ago:
Literally depends on finances. As an investment? I would say no.
Is an employer paying for it? 100% worth it. Do you have your finances covered such that retirement’s not going to be an issue in your older age? Absofucking really. Do it.
Higher education is expensive. It also depends on what you want to study. Is it something you can feasibly study yourself for a cheaper cost, do projects and prove yourself to employers?
Like if your neck is above water and you’re thinking about studying computer science right now… I recommend like a thousand good YouTube videos instead. Genuine passion, a build-it attitude, that will save you some money and probably go further in the long run…
The higher education will never hurt. It will only hurt you financially. It won’t guarantee a return.

Yeah, if it was just naked cash, no envelope, no wallet, no indication of who it belongs to?

You can use Fibonacci to approx km/mi
300 km is like 200 mi.
(More like 180)
But still, approx works. 300 kmh is like 200 mph. Closer to 180 mph.

Complex ideas often get boiled down into slang or jargon - shortcuts to describe something hard to articulate. When people connect with that shortcut, they reuse it. The process repeats.
Like in baseball - if there’s a runner on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, we just say the “bases are loaded.”
“Bases loaded” quickly conveys the full situation. That phrase caught on.
Like what?
Like wildfire.
How did it spread?
Like wildfire. Wildfires spread fast, in every direction, and nothing really stops them. You could say it went viral.
Viral?
Yeah - viral.
Viral how?
Well… like a virus.
See?

Bro last night I was scrolling YouTube and I saw some 20 something dude with a toilet seat on his head just straight “skibidi dibidi dobidi doobidi” while bashing his head with toy school bus.
And there were like hundreds of people watching.
It was like an actual intergalactic TV channel from Rick and Morty.
Daria was on track.
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 week ago:
Ultimately, this would come down to the judiciary. They could stonewall all they want. Those documents are on file, and you better believe the judiciary will exercise every ounce of strength they’ve got.
It might get delayed unduly for quite some time, but those names are the public’s. Not a damn thing any person who decided to accept the job can do about that to stop the public.
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 1 week ago:
Friendly reminder that we can FOIA first and last names of every ICE employee and their salary, and position/title.
Every last one of them.
It’s a good and legal public list just waiting to be collected nice and legally, and shared with the taxpayers as per our still existing rights.
- Comment on samba docker compose help 1 week ago:
Okay, the permission error is almost certainly because the Samba process inside the container doesn’t have the right Linux permissions for the host directory /mnt/my_ext_hdd/my_dir/my_subdir.
-
On your server running docker, find the numeric UID and GID for that directory: ls -ln /mnt/my_ext_hdd/my_dir/my_subdir
-
you likely need to set PUID=<uid_from_step_1> and PGID=<gid_from_step_1> in the environment: section of your docker-compose.yml file for the Samba service.
-
Recreate the container (docker compose up -d --force-recreate).
WARNING: This assumes you are only accessing Samba from within your secure local network. Never expose Samba directly to the internet. Doing so is a major security risk and makes you a target for attacks.
-
- Comment on samba docker compose help 2 weeks ago:
You’re running into that permission error because of how Docker handles file permissions between the host and the container. It’s by design for security reasons. The user inside the container likely doesn’t have access to the mounted directory unless the UID and GID match what’s on the host. You can work around it, but it’s locked down intentionally.
Also, what’s the use case here? What do you need file sharing via Samba in a Docker container for? If it’s just about moving files in and out, docker cp or docker exec -it container /bin/bash might be easier.
- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 2 weeks ago:
If it is just you on your server and the only access from outside your network is SSHing in front the VPN? You’re good. Especially if it’s just you on your network/VPN.
If there are services that others utilize, you need a firewall. Can’t trust other people’s devices to not drag in malware.

- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been posting and reposting my little “Eggsecution” short story everywhere I see eggs come up in politics.
I’m hoping the egg economy goes tits up, we have the great American egg famine, and then once rid of the impending bird flu pandemic, egg economy goes the other way, and the masses just toss Donnie and Elmo into a concrete pit and pelt the. with eggs until they’re drowning in broke shells and egg yolk.
“Eggs. Eggs. Eggs.”
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
It’s going to take a unifying event that is unifyingly abhorrent.
Until that show drops, no movement will take enough momentum with it.
Wait until a Mayors daughter gets sent to gitmo for protesting at college. Wait until the social security checks bounce. Wait until the next viral George Floyd police killing.
The tension is simmering.
- Comment on Just got my OpenWrt switch - what configurations / preparations should I do? 2 weeks ago:
So, this question is very difficult to answer. I don’t want you to be discouraged though.
I can’t answer you because I don’t know your goals. Since we’re in /c/selfhosted, I assume you’re experimenting with some self-hosted setups, which is awesome! But what exactly are you hoping to do with OpenWRT? And what’s the plan for the switch? Are you aiming for better network control, VLANs, firewall rules, or…?
If you can share more about what you’re trying to accomplish, folks here will be much better equipped to help you figure out your next steps."

Ditto on namecheap.
I will say that while GoDaddy is awful for web hosting their VPS customer service is like a VIP queue, and they’re great. Not the cheapest. I only keep GoDaddys shit webhosting because I have their VPS as well and I save a bit that way.

So do 1/10th of that. 100k pays for itself in 7 years? Still have 9/10 of your land to play with.
Just a thought. turnkey operations are geist for land ownership.

If you can’t be happy alone, a partner won’t change that.
That’s like being unhappy, while having all your bills paid and other financial needs met, and thinking $1M is gonna change things. It won’t.
