Thank you for this. I plan to look at the authentication part more closely, but that’s the part I can’t quite figure out (being an amateur at this stuff but still trying), since I’m nervous with just a password accessing it remotely or from the phone.
Authelia, NGINX, there is so much that’s confusing to me, but this might help.
Gosh, wherever could Trump be getting his Ukraine strategy from?
Maybe we’ll avert WW3, since every country is just going full Axis. World harmony achieved, I guess?
Your setup is closer to “statistic” than “anecdote,” so curious how many drive failures you’ve had?
What is the primary OS you run to manage all of the components?
Did you mean to post this comment in response to the post about Russian oligarch asset seizure?
Yeah, in posting my comment, I was thinking about this as well. It’s certainly their tactic and it’s how fascists win.
The problem: I don’t know how to effectively counteract it. “Stay hopeful,” “don’t get discouraged” is all well and good, and I’m going to continue to watch the bloody corpse of America get hacked to bits out of some semblance of duty, even if I’d like to look away.
The only response that would actually help is collective action and direct resistance - and I’ll certainly join a protest, or something with an actual end-game plan that isn’t just “raise awareness we don’t like this.” But none of the leaders we elected are giving any actual leadership. Even if they were, the media isn’t reporting on it so we can’t efficiently align. Lawsuits aren’t even being filed fast enough to keep up with the onslaught, even if the Supreme Court is potentially captured. The Overton window is moving so fast, they’re actually pulling off the coup.
I’m starting to adjust to the Trump term and learn how not to be disappointed with these news stories - here’s my one simple trick:
Expect news tomorrow to be worse than today, in ways you can’t even imagine. Each day repeat this process, with new baseline lowered expectations from the day before. It’s that easy!
The tariffs, set to take effect Tuesday, are aimed at pressuring cooperation on immigration and drug control.
Canada would have cooperated already, that’s what having allies means. This is going to your neighbor and holding their dog hostage to borrow a cup of sugar - they would have done it anyway, but now you’re making an enemy for nothing.
And, since Trump announced that nothing Canada could do would stop the tariffs, the only explanation is that making an enemy is the point.
Unrelatedly, do we even have a way to track when Trump is talking with Putin at this point? He resisted having third parties present during the first term, but we still had notice of the conversations. The yes-men and lawlessness already means we probably will never know if and when they’re talking.
His logic is actually flawless. Let me explain with a metaphor:
Trump has an imagined pain in his foot, so to cure it, he’s going to open the hood of the family car and kick the engine as hard as he can. So you see, this will break his other foot and severely damage the car.
Hopefully that helps.
Yeah, it’s not great already! But one thing I’ve learned as I transition from a skeptical optimist to whatever I am now is that it can always get worse, and Musk at this point seems to be aspiring to be Goebbels.
Ooof, can you imagine? Gen alpha would all become reactionary right-wingers. Being older and living through that would be like that Ricky & Morty episode where Rick regenerates himself in an alternate universe and Morty is a fascist ordering him around.
So did they have to pinky swear they were going to come back for their trial, or did they not even have to bother?
