  • The earth slows down stops then starts spinning again. Gravity would become weaker and weaker one side of the earth would be perpetual night and the other side perpetual day the atmosphere would dissipate into space along with anything loose on the surface which includes all the water we have all life would perish. Slowly, as the earth starts to spin again gravity might pull some of its materials back down but hardly enough to make a difference. The earth would be a barren wasteland.

    Why would gravity become weaker and things float off into space? Gravity has nothing to do with the earth spinning. It's a property of mass. The mass of the earth wouldn't change because it stops spinning.

    Tides would stop. One side would heat up, the other side would cool down. The diurnal cycle of animals and plants would cause havoc, but the planet itself wouldn't have a huge issue. Everything on it, yes, but that's because the ecosystem is built around the flow around the planet, not because of the physical motion.

    The planet has been slowly slowing down for millennia and will eventually stop.

  • The US has spent decades preparing to fight an enemy on equal technological footing, and now that it turns out that enemy never made it past the 1970s technologically or organizationally, the US is basically fighting with lasers against muskets.

    China might be able to bring more to the table but that's looking questionable.

    Disregarding the nuclear option, I suspect a direct conflict with Russia would, while costly, end up much like the middle east, where the enemy only succeeds with guerilla tactics and throwing bodies at the problem, but can never hope to actually win.

  • How, though? Just like chewing out a customer support rep, the goal is to make it so either the employees constantly bring it up to their managers or they quit and the company can't find workers because it's so miserable.

    Are the SWEs responsible for the decision? No. But if they find it too miserable to continue, they will quit and the people responsible will eventually have to respond.

    That's really the only way to direct your anger at a CEO... Through the pocketbook. It's unfortunate that it's through the front line, but that's part of the job.

  • The size of these conflicts are tiny. The US military can fight two MAJOR conflicts simultaneously. By comparison, the Ukraine and the Middle East barely count as one. Many people don't understand the size of the US military and it's ability to project power. It would take two massive wars the size of WWII to overextend the US currently. If something like that were to happen, NATO would obviously be stepping in, adding a massive backing to an already massive military.

    The only military in the world that could even begin to deplete the USAs ability to respond indefinitely would be China and that is super questionable (Especially in light of the laughable showing from the Russian military, there's serious question as to what kind of paper tiger China is at this point. There's no question they are going to be more formidable than the Russian military, but there's a lot of speculation that it won't be by much. They have too much corruption and grift, the same as the Russian military, just not quite as extensive). They don't have the material, supply, and logistic to fight a sustained and protracted battle with the US. The US, being effectively an isolated country, has the largest Navy in the the world and is literally built around a logistics chain that requires absolutely NO land transport. The US can have a full logistical chain anywhere in the world, all feeding back from the US mainland if necessary and sustain that indefinitely.

  • Really? Like this exact same shit hasn't been going on for nearly a 100 years (actually longer, depending on how you define it) at this point? Long before "social media."

    It's religion. This goes on because of religion. Idiots believing their magic, imaginary friend in the sky is "more righter" than the other magic, imaginary friend in the sky. Idiots killing idiots in the end.

  • I don't think they can afford the lose face like that, by doing a complete 180 and making nice with the west. It would completely undermine everything Xi Jinping has been building for over a decade. His grasp on that power is somewhat tenuous already, and doing a complete about face would make him seem weak and indecisive and that's when the vultures would strike.

  • What part of what I wrote do you not understand? Because it's painfully clear you are completely mistaken about how Federation works or what it is. I've already explained the differences to you, but you don't seem to be able to grasp them. So where is the failure of communication here? Which parts are you having trouble with?

    Decentralization does not mean that one part of the network can’t go down but the network itself will survive it.

    What does this sentence even mean. It's just word salad and looks like you are throwing out buzzwords you've heard somewhere but don't know what they actually mean contextually.

  • With a centralized network you literally have one server and if it dies all data is lost.

    You just described Lemmy.

    The fact that you don't understand that federation != decentralization is the problem. Just because something is federated does not mean it's decentralized. Decentralized means all data is stored on all nodes and the loss of any one node does not compromise that data. That's not Lemmy. If your Lemmy server goes down, significant portions of your data go with it, which proportions vary, but you WILL lose data. That's not decentralized, but everyone agrees Lemmy is federated, yes? Therefore, federation is not decentralization.

  • The cloudflare tunnel is the reverse proxy in this case. No particular need to run another. Are you using the docker cloudflared to set up the tunnel?

    In my case, I use NGINX that connects to the cloudflare side and parse everything out from there, and I haven't used the cloudflared docker, but I imagine that makes things easier. I set everything up before Cloudflare tunnels were a thing, so I didn't really want to rejigger everything. If were doing it from scratch, I'd probably go with Cloudflare.

    Inb4 the Cloudflare is Bad and is a MITM attack people. Yes, it is, but it's about opportunity cost. I'm not doing anything I care that Cloudflare sees, so I'm fine using it for simplicity sake, and I imagine they do a better job of security than I do, and I can manage stuff on a well configured dashboard instead of a command line. I'm more interested in blocking people who AREN'T cloudflare from screwing with my shit than I am in keeping Cloudflare out of my business. I use a VPN for things I don't want to run through Cloudflare (like Torrents).

  • You need to right click and point it to the proper directory where the files are located.

    RMB -> Set Location

    Start the torrent. It should say Checking Files, count up to 100%, and then start seeding.
