It might be a sense of entitlement that comes from being a member of the power majority in a patriarchal society. Men are not ususally used to being ordered around (starting from childhood, when compared to women) so any request to do something might be seen as authoritarian over-reach, whereas to someone who is not a member of the power majority, the same request would be normal. It’s not personal, it’s trained behavior. Hopefully it helps you both to communicate better if you take it from that angle.

Freyr is amazing.

I always thought poppy production in Afghanistan had something to do with it. In 2001 the Afghan government sucessfully eradicated poppies, and again recently after the American occupation ended.

I just looked up MOVE after reading this comment. Amazing power dynamics (from wikipedia):

In 1978, a standoff resulted in the death of one police officer and injuries to 16 officers and firefighters, as well as members of the MOVE organization. Nine members were convicted of killing the officer and each received prison sentences of 30 to 100 years.[2] In 1985, another firefight ended when a police helicopter dropped two bombs onto the roof of the MOVE compound, a townhouse located at 6221 Osage Avenue.[3][4] The resulting fire killed six MOVE members and five of their children, and destroyed 65 houses in the neighborhood.[5]

The “city” was found to have used excessive force, and compensation in these cases comes from taxpayer money.

I believe Florida doesn’t have sales tax so your tourist dollars don’t even go to DeSantis and cro.

Products and services that rely on exploitation, and those that come from countries involved in human rights violations (Israel, China, USA, Russia, Saudi to name a few). You bet your ass I buy almost nothing XD, just local food and used clothes from private individuals, sometimes thrift stores if they are local and don’t violate the first rule.

Thanks, I’ll look into those.

I just tested- Google Maps doesn’t work unless you turn on wifi scanning. Creeps.

XD

Sorry, this question might just reveal my ignorance, but what is the advantage of using all these programs over just using rsync? Yes, I am old and simple, but I’d love to know.

I feel like a loser after reading some of these awesome setups, but i just use an rpi4 4gb. It’s enough for 1-2 ppl casual use as NAS, media server, nextcloud, pihole, and a few other things here and there. I have USB hub with it’s own power supply because if not the hard drives lose power occasionally. All in all it’s like 20W max but usually under 10. Best of all it’s completely silent.

Np :) are Rpis still in short supply? There are other good SBCs, notably odroid. Rpi has excellent community and support but if you are after hardware power you’ll be better off with other brands.

In terms of electricity- laptop is about 65W and SBC is about 4W. If you have a server that you never shut down, the difference will add up.

Gl, hf!

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that. Sounds reasonable to me.

The US first ammendment (“free speech”) protects citizens from reprecussions from the government if a citizen criticizes the government. That’s it. It doesn’t mean you can say whatever tf you want, as some people interpret it. In fact, in the US, some people who misinterperet the first ammendment will be summarily executed by someone who misunderstands the second ammendment!

The biggest difference imo between bitcoin and USD is that participation in bitcoin is completely voluntary whereas participation in USD is mostly not, especially when you look at the things done to maintain global USD hegemony and the consequences of leaders who try to, for example, trade oil in currency other than USD or create a hard currency for their country when the de facto currency is USD. Were someone to print (which i can’t believe ppl in this thread don’t realize is a turn of phrase) a bunch of new BTC then it would only affect people who voluntarily chose to participate in that system, whereas if someone printed a whole bunch of USD and injected it directly into the stock market, those affected worst by this are not in the system by choice, and many times they participate only by coercion.

Insurance companies hate this one simple trick!

Shouldn’t you start a new thread for this?

Buy a Raspberry Pi or other SBC, firewall it from the open internet (so it’s only accessible from your home LAN) and start installing stuff like nextcloud and jellyfin on it. See if you can access the files from your other devices. That might be a good start.

Wait how do you do that? Local port forwarding with ssh -L ?

It’s kind of strange that some countries have laws and punishments dealing with libel, slander, and defamation of character (disrespect of individuals) but “malicious attempts of incitement to intercultural hate and violence” (well said) makes some people throw their hands up and say “welp what can you do, it’s freedom”. The “Where do we start and where do we stop?” camp doesn’t seem to have enough mental tarmac to even take off in search of a solution.

Did you do it yet?
