One really simple answer: people of popular-music-making age in the ‘60s and ‘70s were worried about getting drafted into a useless war. Sure we have plenty to be upset about, but the visceral threat of you or those you care about getting shipped off to ‘Nam was fertile ground for protest songs to become a major chunk of that era’s pop music.

What I am hearing you say is that the patriarchy victimizes men. Absolutely it does. It’s also created and maintained by men, so I don’t think elevating men is going to be a primary solution for fixing it. However, pointing out to men the way it damages their mental health and limits their life choices should be an effective way to turn men against it.

If you know what a virtual machine is, a docker container is like a virtual machine that has a curated environment for running a specific program.

To get more technical, they are distinct from VMs in that they share the host machine’s kernel, so they are not as isolated as a VM. Docker (the program used to build or deploy Docker containers) has an internal network it manages, mostly automatically, which contributes to the ease of deploying containers and having the curated environment that makes containers work out of the box on whatever host they’re deployed.

So let’s say you wanted to run a Wordle clone website. You could find a “docker-compose” file online, change the configuration parameters to your liking, tell Docker to boot it, and the application and all its dependencies will be downloaded and built into a ready-made server with Wordle, the same as it works on every other machine with Docker.

You’re missing the fact that Google is both the company behind the most popular browser used to access content on the internet and the most popular website on the internet. Their browser says incognito mode offers protections that their website then runs roughshod over. They’re the perfect company to sue over this because the website can’t shift blame to the browser and the browser can’t shift blame to the website.

I can picture a world where Trump’s fervent supporters would descend upon DC and cause at least a little turbulence.

Gotcha! I thought maybe they were all FLOSS projects.

I used to use AutoCAD years ago, but I haven’t used a CAD program since then. Are those 4 projects all aiming to fill the same space? And if so, why do you continue using your third favorite?

I will echo this. I’m pretty new to homelabbing (I got a Synology NAS a year ago but have just gotten more serious about is and built a new machine last week that I have installed Proxmox and TrueNAS Core on). I haven’t set up remote access yet on the new machine, but for my Synology I have a VPS with Nginx (not NPM just vanilla Nginx) pointing to a VM on the Synology that also has Nginx, with a Wireguard tunnel between them. The VPS uses Nginx to forward ports 80/443 to the local VM (if the headers have appropriate URLs), then the local VM uses Nginx to forward the requests to the locally hosted services.

I’m thinking about dabbling with Traefik to set things up with my new machine, but the VPS+VM (or a container) with proxy capabilities is the way to go. And, of course, have your domain point to the VPS.
