Yeah, and after having dealt with the “I missed a few updates and then the last one put my files out of sync with my schema” Docker issues, I’m very much happy to use the snap. Been on that a couple years and it’s been quite solid, even if I did have to install snapd on my Debian base for it

I mean, would we even be able to tell it apart from his usual rambling?

Honestly I’d love to see them flip the narrative and stand against the criminal thugs… in ICE and many metro police forces.

People need to start somewhere, and sometimes smaller acts of defiance can grow

Yeah funny how those with an excess of wealth and a lack of morals seem to be behind so many terrible things in the world…

I’ve heard a few sketchy things in regards to his comments about his daughter, but this particular one is new to me (though not particularly surprising)

I get connection refused on that one

Or he turned on them and this is basically the leash they held in reserve…

Because they couldn’t, or at least not without potentially ruining the case while it was before the courts at the time?

Getting then way from the constant propaganda machine is a first step towards what may not be a full 360, but at least potentially realizing that the ones they’ve been trained to hate are just a scapegoat for those who have really been fucking them (and everyone else) over.

Yup, just like they “found” all that evidence on Luigi… after the cop left with the bag and came back

Do they even really like him? I thought pretty much any Republican support for Elon came from his support/association with Trump

More like a plague, on humanity

Hopefully he also makes more friends and helps gain momentum to get the rest of the goons out in other jurisdictions

They said much the same about Putin and - regardless him being in better initial shape than Trump - he’s still around.

Being old and unfit means less event you’ve got money for top-notch healthcare and people willing to ignore (or take advantage of) your physical and mental decline

If you’re not sarcastic then I’m generally sorry to hear you’re stuck in that shitty situation.

You’re also welcome at my BBQ if you’re ever up here in Canada

I realize this is sarcasm but honestly: all of you/us are greater than all of them, if enough of us can actually unite on what we want and how to get it.

Unfortunately it’s also why there’s been a huge effort on dividing people by race/gender/religion/etc that might otherwise have been united in socio-economic struggles.

It also means that the people who need to give something to push for change are (deliberately) kept in situations where they have the least to do.

• Less time to organise because of working multiple jobs with little to no free time.
• Less money or resources to fight in courts.
• Less knowledge due to underfunded education.
• Less physical ability due to lack of healthcare or nutritional diet
• Less access to childcare or ability to afford such
• Etc

Which is why supporting community/network is important.

Having a politician that isn’t an evil fuck is good, but that politician isn’t going to watch your kids while you’re at a protest or in the hospital. They’re not going to help you get to work when your car breaks down, or help you fix it.

They might stand beside you at a protest or union meeting, but one or a handful of politicians says less than community of hundreds or thousands.

We need to rebuild communities and support networks. Yes we need the help of politicians - or at least less actively fighting against us - but we also need to rally with each other. The attacks on this guy reflect much of the same as those on our communities.

If somebody is a “gay Muslim trans-woman Iranian refugee amputee” who is willing to stand by me in times of need, I’m willing to stand by them and they’re welcome at my BBQ.

We should, but it’s also nice to hear about the people with money who aren’t complete assholes and actually do good things with their money.

It’s honestly weird to me to think how many don’t, as it has been shown that doing good deeds for others can result in a fairly strong dopamine reaction. Like why wouldn’t you want to get high by doing nice shit for others?

I run backups to a USB drive which is way to grab in the event of an emergency. Just make sure you test them every more and again, and possibly only connect it when needed if you’re at all worried about malware (a cryptolocker will happily take out any attached storage if your machine is infected).

A lot of that stack looks similar to mine, though I’m running bigger hardware for various reasons. You might want to go with something with more cores than an i5 depending on how much you find yourself utilizing.

Have you considered Nextcloud for documents and syncing functionality? I went through a few ways of running it before ended up with the Snap package which has been fairly solid for over a year now (Docker was good for setup, but upgrading was problematic if not kept up with religiously)

Vaultwarden is Excellent.

Calibre-Web is good, especially if paired with the application to “extract” books, and an app like Moon+ on mobiles

Audiobookshelf is pretty solid. Pairs well with Libation.

HASS I initially ran on my server in a container but moved to dedicated hardware so updating and reboots didn’t break automatons. Got a HASS Yellow for the PoE and Zigbee.

If you’re looking for audio/video library management, JellyFin is pretty easy to get running and has apps for phones plus many TVs. Finamp is a good mobile app for the music part
