USA Today: Biden has no business running for president. The debate proved it.
  • Most of the people here would still vote for Biden if he was wheelchair bound and communicated with a bell zipp-tied to his armrest like Tio Salamanca.

    The question isn't "is he better than trump", it's "will enough people be motivated to go vote for a candidate that's slipping into a waking coma?" and every day that Biden opens his mouth in front of a camera like tonight he looses more people who don't give a fuck about politics.

    There is no good news from this debate. If the democrats have a single other option to replace Biden on the ticket they should do it now or else ensure a trump presidency.

  • I guess... I am still very skeptical the profit margin even if some people do end up paying for the storage. We're talking about petabytes on petabytes of data.... How many people need to pay a cloud subscription fee to pay for the overhead of the servers?

    Idk. This is super suss to me but again, I am clearly not the target market for this service so maybe I don't have a firm grasp of the landscape.

  • Biden’s Record Is Full of Climate Wins — So Why Don’t Voters Know It? Environmental groups are making a concerted effort to educate voters about President Joe Biden’s climate policies before election
  • Biden's 2030 projections are not aggressive enough and are at-odds with trade relations with the largest green energy manufacturer on the planet and with the multiple large-scale military conflicts we are actively fanning. I'm assuming their 2030 projections do not account for the millions of pounds of explosives being set off in the ME and in Ukraine.

    It's like a pack-a-day smoker whining about their doctor not praising them for loosing weight from dieting, even though their diet is one of those cayenne pepper and lemon juice cleanses. Like, good job with loosing 50 pounds, but if you don't stop smoking like a chimney you're still gonna die of a heart attack.

    I get that we want to feel good about our political outlook but holy fuck now is not the time to be celebrating.

  • It cannot be that profitable to have just a bunch of random data on their servers. I have so much junk and random bullshit on my drives, it would take a week of labor just to clean my shit well enough to use it for AI training and as soon as I got any notification about cloud space being full i'd turn syncing off - i sure as hell wouldn't fork over any money for a subscription. This is such a big bridge to burn, and the server overhead must be massive.... I just don't understand how they could possibly think this is a good business decision.

    Idk, maybe i'm just too deep into privacy/FOSS/selfhosting headspace to see things clearly from the normal-consumer standpoint but I just do not understand this. I really wish someone would leek an internal conversation at one of these companies that explains the big-picture strategy with this move.

  • If you were to suddenly come into possession of 12+ enterprise-grade SAS hard drives, how would you go about incorporating them into your homelab?
  • Yup, I ended up frankensteining a nas from various craigslist parts (i actually found a low-power business-class server motherboard that has worked out well for the purpose). Had to get a SAS HBA card and a couple SFF-8087 cables to do the job right, and I grabbed an old gaming case from the 2010's to hold it all, but it was relatively seamless. I had one of the drives go out already, but luckily I had it in a raid configuration with parity so it was just a matter of swapping out the drives and rebuilding.

    It's been fun and rewarding, for sure! I'm glad I didn't sell them like these other dweebs told me to lol

  • An 8-year-old girl was sucked into a swimming pool pipe at a Hilton hotel. The management company blamed her parents
  • Omg, is the last story they mention in that article based on a story I read on reddit once, where [CW Body Horror]

    !where someone sits on a pool drain and has their intestines sucked out of their rectum?!<

    I remember someone saying it happened to a young girl that ended up dying from it, and it's still one of the most horrific things I've ever heard. I don't even care if they plagiarized it from that book, I carry that anxiety with me to every pool I go to.

  • The dying gasps of NY Public Library Social Media
  • There's maybe two problems with this:

    • public housing is a part of the picture, and so are public libraries. The solution is certainly not to cut library spending just because there are homeless people using it
    • Thinking there being homeless people around is an issue that needs solving is itself pretty bigoted. Like, maybe you have a problem with people who haven't showered for a while? or people who use the library for personal activities because there are no better places for them to do them? But 'these people are a problem' itself becomes problematic because you've consolidated those qualities you find objectionable into a class of person, and that makes it really easy to forget/misplace/dismiss the humanity those people deserve.

    It's a common attitude, so don't feel like i'm picking you out personally to scold. More people should be aware of how that attitude dehumanizes people experiencing shelter insecurity.

    Docker Help: Port collisions when using container-networking

    edit: a working solution is proposed by @[email protected] below:

    >So you’re trying to get 2 instances of qbt behind the same Gluetun vpn container?

    >I don’t use Qbt but I certainly have done in the past. Am I correct in remembering that in the gui you can change the port?

    >If so, maybe what you could do is set up your stack with 1 instance in, go into the GUI and change the port on the service to 8000 or 8081 or whatever.

    >Map that port in your Gluetun config and leave the default port open for QBT, and add a second instance to the stack with a different name and addresses for the config files.

    >Restart the stack and have 2 instances.

    -----

    Has anyone run into issues with docker port collisions when trying to run images behind a bridge network (i think I got those terms right?)?

    I'm trying to run the arr stack behind a VPN container (gluetun for those familiar), and I would really like to duplicate a container image within the stack (e.g. a separate download client for different types of downloads). As soon as I set the network_mode to 'service' or 'container', i lose the ability to set the public/internal port of the service, which means any image that doesn't allow setting ports from an environment variable is stuck with whatever the default port is within the application.

    Here's an example .yml:

    ``` services: gluetun: image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest container_name: gluetun cap_add: - NET_ADMIN environment: - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=mullvad - VPN_TYPE=[redacted] - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=[redacted] - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=[redacted] - SERVER_COUNTRIES=[redacted] ports: - "8080:8080" #qbittorrent - "6881:6881" - "6881:6881/udp" - "9696:9696" # Prowlarr - "7878:7878" # Radar - "8686:8686" # Lidarr - "8989:8989" # Sonarr restart: always

    qbittorrent: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: "qbittorrent" network_mode: "service:gluetun" environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=CST/CDT - WEBUI_PORT=8080 volumes: - /docker/appdata/qbittorrent:/config - /media/nas_share/data:/data) ``` Declaring ports in the qbittorrent service raises an error saying you cannot set ports when using the service network mode. Linuxserver.io has a WEBUI_PORT environment variable, but using it without also setting the service ports breaks it (their documentation says this is due to CSRF issues and port mapping, but then why even include it as a variable?)

    The only workaround i can think of is doing a local build of the image that needs duplication to allow ports to be configured from the e variables, OR run duplicate gluetun containers for each client which seems dumb and not at all worthwhile.

    Has anyone dealt with this before?

    'but why are you only complaining about DEMOCRATS?'

    It's educate, AGITATE, organize

    edit: putting this at the top so people understand the basis for this:

    >You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.
