That Putin has threatened to end the world? It’s in the 20’s at least, but I lost count a while ago.
Part of me wishes he’d go ahead and pull the pin. Dealing with the consequences would probably distract Trump and his cronies for his entire term and would reduce the head count of his supporters, giving the sane folks in the US a chance to regroup.
Could very well be American casualties only. I didn’t look it up. I was remembering a history class where we were discussing the effects of illness and disease during wars some 20 - 25 years ago. I do remember that our teacher’s statement did not include those killed in the concentration camps, but did include those lost to illness and disease.
Of course, Alabama school, it’s entirely possible that the lesson was complete nonsense.
Callously, when the survivors look back and decide to call it one. As far as I know there isn’t an agreed upon definition.
WW1 was originally called the War to End All Wars, I think, by many at the time. WW2 eclipsed it by taking place on at least 3 continents and across every ocean. Both are also known by other names that depend on the region. The US Civil War eclipsed both in the number of casualties. The Ukraine war isn’t likely to break records like that.
How so? When I switched to NixOs I was looking for system stability over time. That’s not really something I associate with Gentoo, at least not on a desktop system.
Well I don’t hear much about Gentoo, Damn Small, Puppy or Knoppix anymore. Wonder if they still exist.
I haven’t done much disto hopping since I settled on Ubuntu around ‘08 and then on NixOS last year. I like my systems working when I need them and waiting around for a new install to finish is boring to me.
I don’t think that Harris’s problem was that she was a woman. Her problem, same as Mrs. Clinton, was everything else. And that is a long list for both of them. Being women probably didn’t help, but it also wasn’t their main chute.
You’re not wrong, but the discussion is tools and equipment, not firearms.
I would say that most Ryobi One+ tools fall into this category. Cheap and I’ve never had one fail where I wasn’t using it far beyond it’s design parameters. Others are more comfortable to use for extended periods, but they are also usually more expensive. That said, there are apparently a few stinkers in their mix, a dust buster style vacuum comes to mind, but I’ve not run into many.
To add to this, you might check out some of the free Hugo themes here: https://themes.gohugo.io/tags/portfolio/
since I don’t want to pay for SSL certificates to setup https.
You don’t need to pay for SSL certs anymore, most of the time. You can get them for free from a bunch of different places now. I use Let’s Encrypt. The web server/reverse proxy I use, Caddy is able to automatically get a cert for you, install it, and keep it renewed. The only time you need to pay for a cert is if you are handling financial transactions.
Are there security issues I should address preemptively?
WordPress itself has a generally good reputation for security, though depending on how the current drama goes, that may change. WordPress security problems have almost always stemmed from plugins or poor password hygiene. Remove any plugins you are not actively using, keep the ones you are using updated, and use a good password that you don’t use anywhere else. A password wallet like Bit Warden can generate and store such passwords for you.
Better on the security front would be to evaluate whether you actually need something like WordPress at all. A static site would likely be far more secure. There’s less moving parts that might be vulnerable.
While you could program a static site yourself, it’s more common nowadays to use a static site generator like Hugo to build the site. You set it up once for how you want the site to look and then you write your posts in markdown or whatever your particular generator uses.
I don’t have anything to manage my dynamic IP
Most domain name providers have some sort of setup for dealing with dynamic IP addresses, a program called ddclient is pretty common and is available in most repos.
I would suggest medical texts, survival and military field manuals. I don’t think they will be needed but it might be best to be prepared. As for culture, stash what you like.
On second thought, the medical texts would be useful either way. https://www.alreporter.com/2024/10/31/analysis-rural-hospitals-closure-crisis-alabamas-healthcare-safety-net-at-risk/ Hospitals closing have been happening for a while.
TLDR: Vote anyways, and make your voice heard.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, > or to the people. - US Constitution, 10th Amendment
The way that the US is setup, actual power and authority, does not actually exist at the Federal level. Not really. Not over you as an individual. And your individual vote at the Federal level will not really move the needle.
The actual authority and power over your life exists at the State and local levels. And this is where your vote can actually make a real difference as well, because elections at these levels are often decided by mere hundreds of votes. Your local elections are often decided by mere 10’s of votes.
The most powerful of all, however, are the local school boards, which are often elected positions. However, decisions made by school boards don’t make changes to your community over night, however. It takes years for the children they teach to grow up and begin exerting their control over the system.
What if we vote and the problem continues?
That will happen. I’m sorry that’s not the answer you want. It is difficult to make large changes to society or governments in a hurry. You can think of society and governments like large boulders. The larger the society or government, the larger the boulder.
A handful of people might move that boulder slowly over time, more people though, can move that boulder more quickly. And of course, a much faster or larger boulder could always strike it and move it quickly, though not necessarily predicably.
What if voting gives us the illusion of control?
Sticking with the physics frame of reference, as an individual person, you have all the control you could ever want. You just don’t have enough power or “force” to make much happen at larger scales. The physics frame of reference breaks down somewhat, though, as a single voice, well spoken and well presented, at the right time, can not only move all the smaller pebbles (people) and the boulder (society or governments), but an entire damned mountain and can move it precisely.
Tomorrow (November 5th) is Election Day. Go vote. And get informed and vote in every election, local, State, and Federal thereafter. If you don’t, this will continue to happen. The States have this power only because we, the citizens of those States gave it to them, or worse yet, said nothing as they took it for themselves.
If you don’t vote, then don’t go complaining later if the result isn’t what you want.
If I reading your docker ps result correctly, you seem to be forwarding docker port 2283 to host port 3001.
Try http://ip_address:3001 , if that fails try https.
So if he’s taking full accountability, who’s the new CEO of Dropbox? /s
Dumbass.
More and more I’m appreciating my decision to selfhost Nextcloud when I decided to start moving away from Google. All nonsense like this affects for me personally (should Dropbox crash and burn) is some redundant backups.
Might check out distrowatch. Just note that popularity for them just means how many times had that entry been looked up.
Off-hand? Algorithm driven social media, “news” media generally, politicians, family/kids. The last is at least usually tolerable, or at least correctable. The rest should be taken only in moderation with a mound full of salt.
Last I heard (several months ago, admittedly), Russia had stopped sharing the data needed to validate their economic reports. As a result I immediately distrust anyone saying anything definitive (up or down) about Russia’s economy.
Additionally, this is the first I’ve heard of either site you’ve linked to, so I call bullshit. This doesn’t fully track and can’t be verified.
Check the data sheet or user manual for your equipment or battery, but generally batteries should be stored indoors at a human comfortable temp and humidity.
Here’s the manual for mine, but yours may differ:
Ryobi really needs a better URL for their manuals to be stored at. If the direct link to the file sketches you out, for the moment at least this, this link will lead to the same file:
I’m tracking now.
The instability I had on Gentoo was largely a result of me setting up the system one way, deciding I didn’t like it, uninstalling a bunch of stuff poorly and then building something new on top of it. All on the same install. For a little while though, I had a G3 Mac running headless as a small NAS. Never had a issue out of it but then I also never touched it except to update it, when I remembered it existed.
I found that Ubuntu was a more stable base for my mucking about. Then I got my first real job (truck driving) and didn’t have time fix my system constantly and learned to just use it.
