Oh, I just watched that episode of Serial Experiments Lain.

Not that I have a solution but engoraging people to use “blocks” and “filters” is the way to go I think.

I’d like to create a homepage but Lemmy moves too slowly for that, so I do find myself on “all” a lot. So blocking users/communities/instances and filtering keywords are how I craft a positive experience here.

When EH was around I’d waste endless time trolling/downvoting them, which I now realise was time wasted. It didn’t help me; made Lemmy more toxic; and gave bad actors the legitimacy and attention they want.

I think my comment in the poll was fairly comprehensive, so I’ll leave it at that. Except to add good job LemmyNSFW admins you constantly handle controversy well. From instance bans, instance drama or this current downvote issue, no notes.

You’re not a train. You don’t need to announce your departure.

Meme asside. This “I’m miserable so everyone around me must be too” thing you’ve got going on is self centered at best. Buy some frozen peas and go feed som ducks or what ever you need to self actualise and come back when you’re feeling better.

The cohort age 18-29 as a whole were under the national average. But men aged 18-29 we’re just barely under the national average while women were massively under the nation average. edit although true it can’t be inferred from this graph alone

I think it’s more a criticism of the Dems. They spent four years saying Trump is the death of America and now they’re just going to hand it to him. There’s two implications of that:

1. Trump isn’t the enemy they made him out to be.

2. Or, they just don’t care about American democracy.

A long criticism of Dems has been their refusal to treat Trump as the threat he is. He tried to perform a coup and what has happened? Some guy was accused of using fake money and was extra-judicially executed in the street, but perform a coup and life goes on.

I did ten months ago. An apology from Pug would be nice, I doubt I get it though. I learned then that I am incapable of getting through to American liberals and moved on with my life.

Everything I saw since then just reaffirmed my position, can you imagine my horror when liberals on Lemmy were literally asking people to vote for evil?! What came over them to think that was a winning strategy.

I thought the headline was not conveying the emphasise. “We’re going to be ok” says member of the owning class.

I feel downvotes are fairly useless.

They’re used as a disagree button. Ok but why do you disagree? Leave a reply and let’s discuss. Gain saying has little value and that’s all a downvote to disagree is.

They’re used to report spam. Spam should be reported so I don’t think that’s a valid argument for them. Downvoting spam leaves it up, reporting spam gets it taken down. We have a better solution to spam than downvotes.

They are used by bad actors, with the removal of downvotes bad actors have to spend more effort in making a comment and it becomes far more obvious in who they are, report and block them.

Finally downvotes are a way to yuck someone’s yum, I’m mindful of the instance we’re on. I don’t want our communities to become like Reddit where only one genital configuration and body type are allowed.

My initial inception of this box was to have it request a static IP so I knew “box.ip”. Then tape then tape some thing like this:

Box.ip Service1:port Service2:port …

Onto the case. Then in NPM have it proxy requests to “box.ip:8096” to “tailscale.ip:8096”. But alas, I couldn’t figure it out. I could get 1 service to work but not multiple.

I couldn’t ask someone to write the config for me, but if you’re certain it’s doable then I’ll learn to write a config. Thank you for the offer. I’m guessing for each service I tell nginx to “listen” at “port” instead of only listening to ports 80,443 and 81.

MDNS seems like an interesting solution though, I’m going to read about that now actually, thank you for highlighting that solution to me. If I could get that working that would be ideal. I’ll have to check if the expected devices are compatible but that would make everyone’s life easier if I could just setup a cronjob on startup.

Thank you for the reading material, it’ll be tonight project. I think I’m just going to tell people if they want to join in the family immich/mealie/etc they’ll just have to let me into their router. They’ll get memorable addresses out of it and adblocking too. I’m pretty sure that setup is comfortably within my skill set. I thought long and hard about opening ports but the security needed is beyond me currently. Down side is cost and I’ll be managing a bunch of boxe. But I can add updating them into the monthly maintenance and if/when they come back they can be repurposed into other projects.

I tried /locations but my service would rewrite the URL and break itself. I’d navigate to “box.ip/immich” and immich would change the address to “box.ip/login” and hang.

I’d need to learn how to have npm lock “box.ip/immich” and let immich append “/login”. I’ll leave my test VM up and just chip away at it. I think I need the “rewrite” flag but I’m getting dangerously close to just learning how to write an nginx config instead of having npm do it for me.

Thanks again for the pointers

Audiobooks, audiobooks, audiobooks. I read a lot as a kid/teen so maybe I have that going for me, but into my adult years and the invention of YouTube I didn’t read quite so much.

Then audiobooks entered my life, 1 a month with audible is easy to achieve as bed time reading. Then I added them to chores. I’m un/fortunate enough to work a mindless job so I added them there too mixed in with music. Now I smash a couple books a week and still have an unhealthy YouTube habit.

Yeah, that’s a fair description. I am not comfortable exposing ports currently, I don’t think I have the skill to do it securely and my Homelab is definately not secure enough.

Not to get side tracked, and to highlight the horror, my media library is chmod 777 until I figure permissions across LXCs.

Can you imagine my fiancée’s dissapointment when I showed her my “finger tricks”…

I couldn’t say where police corruption is worse if I’m honest, I would guess its worse in America. But, Police violence is absolutely worse in America.

Regardless, I think the take away is: “whatever the intention, guns don’t equal civil liberties”.

I understood your point. I was showing that not only does America have “a lot” of government overreach, it has “more” government overreach. An Australian is less likely to be shot by another of its citizens and less likely to be imprisoned, enslaved, or killed by its government.

As a counter point, America has fewer gun restrictions and more convicts than Australia. Gun laws and government overreach do not seem connected.

I’m stuck at blue stake, but I’ve got a few decks up to it. So I’m focusing on unlocking jokers. My wins have been a lot of luck I think, so I’m trying to focus on conservative decision making instead of “it would be cool if… oh I didn’t roll the winning hand and lost?”
