  It can’t be censored or taken down

  I know nothing of Plebbit, however, even as a huge privacy and freedom of speech advocate, I have issue with uncensored social media. There is a huge difference between freedom and freedumb. Total freedumb equals total chaos. Freedumb seems to be trending, and if all the freedumb loving people want to congregate in one place to spew their bile and hatred at each other, fine…I won’t engage. The problem occurs when freedumb loving people want to export that hatred and bile to other social media thinking just because they fly the freedumb flag, everyone else should too. I ‘helped’ beta test Gab when if first started, and immediately dropped it. It was clear early on who their clientele would be: Hate mongering racists.

  Some things, in my most humble opinion, should be censored such as hate speech and overt racism. LBJ, tho he had his own issues with racism, said a truth that still stands today in that, if you give a man someone to hate, they will bend over and willingly spread their cheeks for your amusement. No one slipped me a note up in the slot while I was in utero and asked me what I wanted to be when I got out. Hmmmm…lets see…oh WHITE definitely. It’s stupidity of the highest order to hate someone for their skin pigment when I myself, like them, had no choice in the matter. It’s probably not a popular opinion but these things should be censored.

  Where do you house these music releases? I’m always down to listen to new tunes. Oh, and tho I’ve never run Ghost, I hear a lot of great things about it. Might be something to look into.

  since I document almost everything I’ve tried

  I worked in the construction field as a mech eng in hvac. The rule of thumb then was ‘If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen’. So that sort of carried over to my personal life as well. I document just about everything I enter into a terminal. I probably spend as much time in a notepad as I do in a terminal, but it has saved my ass on so many occasions, especially with my shit memory. And I can step by step through stuff I’ve already tried so I don’t waste time reinventing the wheel. Like right now I am in a battle with AIDE and trying getting it to write to the db ffs, so it can remember what it already scanned.

  Here’s a recent example

  Yeah…that’s way over my head. LOL I mean, I know what Incus is, but beyond that, hell I do good just understanding Docker, which really is a pretty nifty way to do things on a server. Maybe one day I’ll get there, perhaps after K8s, but by that time there will be something else to learn.

  (I’m an undergrad)

  What are you studying? I read your resume. I assume you are working towards something in the IT field.

  Actually, I knew that Neko is the Japanese word for cat, but it never dawned on me it’s supposed to be a part of the naming nomenclature. It’s kind of clever marketing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a software suggestion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I use the Obsidian web clipper

  Probably a silly question but, does the webclipper work for the selfhosted version or just the Windows version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a software suggestion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Readeck for ‘read it later’ type documents or articles, and Karakeep for data preservation. The only downside that I can think of with Readeck is that there is no real ‘one click export’ of the database housing all your articles. However, you can download the entire folder containing the database and all the zip files and transport them to a new server or make it a backup. Other than that, Readeck checks my boxes. It has an iOS app and an extension for Firefox…not sure about chrome as I avoid it like the plague.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ansible sounds interesting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Watching this thread. I too would like to dip into Ansible. Looks like a really powerful way to automate things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds very appealing. I’ll check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I downloaded the windows version of emacs and I’ll give it a go. I figured, I could test it out locally and if it checks out, I could move it to the server. It’s easier to uninstall from windows as I just fire up Revo and let it eat. Thanks for the suggestion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I deployed it on the test server, but it was getting kind of late and this old man needs his night meds accompanied by a bowl…for a nightly muse with some free form jazz… :) I will get into it on the morrow, and let you know. I do appreciate your input.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you be more specific about the features you’re looking for?

  Well, so far, of those I’ve tried that were recommended in this thread, something along the lines of what I posted further down: lemmy.world/post/30511835/17370680. I like the way I can search Obsidian and it gives me the left hand side with all the choices, and highlights the selected choice. Sometimes I can only remember a part or work I’m searching for, so having a multitude of choices ready for me to choose, is very nice. I haven’t tried all the recommendations here, and I haven’t settled on Obsidian, but so far it’s checking a lot of boxes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, I did have an idea about just such a thing, tho it would be private. I gave your ‘blog’ a bookmark and will definitely check quarto

  So far, I really like how Obsidian searches and gives you a list in the left hand corner, and highlights the chosen result. That’s very nice. I haven’t settled on Obsidian yet. Still need to try out the rest of the recommendations from the kind folks here, however it’s definitely in the running.

  Thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not met logseq, tho I am currently reading up on it. There’s apparently a docker container for it as well along with a plethora of plugins to extend it’s functions. I’m down with trying it. I will read some more. Thanks very much for the recommendation.

  I know, right? Any ‘free’ service with that much infrastructure to support, is more than likely selling your data. I guess, it’s kind of refreshing that a company comes right out and tells you they’re about to bend you over the barrel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you actually audit open source projects you download?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I do not audit code line by line, bit by bit. However, I do due diligence in making sure that the code is from reputable sources, see what other users report, I’ll do a search for any unresolved issues et al. I can code on a very basic level, but I do not possess the intelligence to audit a particular app’s code. Beyond my ‘due diligence’ I rely on the generosity of others who are more intelligent than and can spot problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Syncthing alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a dockerized version of GoodSynch, tho I’ve only used the windows version, so I can’t really vouch for it. Might be something worth looking at. I chime in with the others here in that I use Synchthing and I’ve never had any issues with corrupt files, but I can understand how that would be unacceptable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Syncthing alternatives⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I may have to give Cups a try. Watchtower is cool and all, but my issue is this:

  The bold part is where the problem occurs. So when there is an error response from the daemon, it stops all updates to that container, and leaves it deleted. This has happened to me several times, but not always. It does update other containers but sometimes it gets a little wonky and I haven’t been able to fix that with anything that I have tried.

  You’re acting like we’re Luddites or something

  No, what I am saying tho is, give it a bit of time to sort itself out. If you don’t want an AI Rice Cooker, don’t get one. It’s the knee jerk reaction to AI that I’m talking about. Do I like corporations mining and stealing my data. No, and I take proper precautions to circumvent that. Do I think that there are better options than people storing every last bit of their data on corporate cloud farms. Of course, but I don’t hate on them. They do it because it’s convenient and they don’t understand that there are other options. A Dropbox or Gmail account takes about 5 minutes to spin up. Would I make recommendations if asked, as to what the better options are? Of course I would, I might even bring the topic up in certain situations, But again, I don’t hate you because you use corporate clouds, or piss around with face swap AI, or hate on you because you bought an AI Rice Cooker, no matter what I think of them. For instance, the Cybertruck. I think that is about the most useless vehicle I’ve ever seen. It looks like some kid’s welding shop project they did for a grade. But you do you.

  Ffs can you be any more dismissive and denigrating by comparing us to Luddites?

  Didn’t compare you to a Luddite at all, and I apologize if it seemed that way. However I was making the comparison of AI hate to what I experienced when computers first became a public commodity and the hate people were spewing about them. Hell, I remember a lecture about the ‘evils’ of the calculator when they became available to the public. This knee jerk reaction proliferates through out all new technology. On the corporate side, of course they promote these things because, well, a business is usually in the business to maximize it’s profit potential to it’s investors. Even if you run a non-profit, you still gotta make some paper, but I’m not on a mission against corporate technologies. If you ask me if it’s a good idea to have a Gmail account where Google reads your most private emails, I’d tell you no. I just don’t hate on it. If you have a Gmail account. Good for you. Have fun with it.

  And, I’m probably mot much younger than you, and I can call bullshit on your claims

  Yes, you probably are as I am soon to be 71.

  This right here. If you are promoting your biz with a generic email address, it goes in the junk folder. It’s 2025 people. Legit businesses use legit email addresses. I as hardnosed about my texts or phone calls. If you are not on my extensive list of friends, family, business associets or aquaintances, and you don’t leave a message, you get banned as spam.
