If you use it weekly it shouldn’t be free to you, certainly if you use it more frequently than that. Give money to the projects you depend on or they will disappear.

Copy/paste from another comment I made a while back:

Look into docker containers in general. If I was going to start from scratch in your position this is what I’d do:

Install a Linux distribution on the computer you plan to use for self hosting. This can be anything from a raspberry pi up to a custom build but I would recommend starting with something you have physical possession of. I found Debian with the KDE plasma desktop environment to be pretty familiar coming from Windows. You could technically do most of this on Windows but imo self hosting is pretty much the only thing that a casual user would find better supported through Linux than Windows. The tools are made for people who want to do things themselves and those kinds of people tend to use Linux.

Once you have a Linux distribution installed, get docker set up. Once docker is set up, install portainer as your first docker container. The steps above require some command line work, which may or may not be intimidating for you, but once you have portainer functional you will have a GUI for docker that is easier to use than CLI for most people.

From this point you can find the docker installation instructions for any service you want to run. Docker containers have all the required dependencies of a given service packaged together nicely so deploying new services is super easy once you get the hang of it. You basically just have to define where the container should store it’s data and what web port you want to access the service on. The rest is preconfigured for you by the people who created the container.

There’s certainly more to be said on this topic, some of which you would likely want to look into before you deploy something your whole family will be using (storage setup and backup capability, virtual machines to segregate services, remote accessibility, security, etc). However, the above is really all you need to get to the point where you can deploy pretty much anything you’d like on your local network. The rest is more about best practices and saving yourself headaches when something breaks than it is about functionality.

I think part of the reason some of those people live that way is because they don’t think through the effects of everyone else living their lives that way. Perhaps the stat boost to INT would give them the ability to follow that course of action to it’s logical conclusion and therefore choose to live differently?

It’s so funny to me (in a depressing way) that the known outcome of destroying the planet doesn’t move the needle away from fossil fuels much, but one crazy guy starting a war and demonstrating obvious market volatility sends all the people previously unconcerned into a race to install solar capacity. I won’t complain about the outcome but the motivations are so selfish and short sighted that it’s really hard to cheer for.

I don’t think desire or intent was the limiting factor in the 40k number

And this is in comparison to the more moderate hardliners who killed ~40,000 protestors a few months back?

This isn’t the first time he’s shared pics of him as Jesus. They didn’t care then and they won’t care now

If we can only comprehend war in economic terms then we have already lost everything that makes a society worth preserving.

Maybe. Either way it’s an insane thing for the POTUS to say. The best case scenario is that he’s so full of shit that he makes other insane politicians seem tame by comparison. That’s not a good place for the US or the world to be, to say nothing of any other possible scenarios.

“The bombings will continue until peace is achieved” is an actual quote from Trump

I don’t. I hope they ship his body to every city in America like they do with ancient Egyptian kings, except instead of learning about history we take turns pissing in his mouth

That’s overly dramatic phrasing and you know it. Adding this kind of hyper technical quip to a thread aimed at beginners is insane. Stop doing that.

Good thing they have stopped it then

I hope the leaders of all the countries involved in this conflict die in some kind of old fashioned honor duel. I think that would be swell.

That’s a very interesting article but does 2019 qualify as “the other day”?

What does it matter? They said we went to Venezuela for the oil and nobody did anything about it. They know they can say what they want and Americans will never hold them accountable

“The bombings will continue until peace is achieved” is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard Trump say, and that is saying a lot

You’re presenting additional nuance as if it disproves what I’m saying and it doesn’t. I understand that overcomimg any addiction is more difficult than saying “I’m going to stop this behavior”. However, any approach you decide to take is fundamentally just breaking down that ultimate goal into practical steps. I’ve repeatedly said I agree that there are usually more steps involved but you seem categorically opposed to agreeing that changing your behavior is the goal of any addiction treatment and that seems like a you problem more than a problem with anything that I’m saying.
