Tape drives are the keytars of the tech world. They seem cool and a pro can really jam with them... but they're not the most practical and you should really get a guitar or a keyboard until you know what you're doing.
Yeet your shit onto rsync.net or sth else simple and call it a day, unless you're in it for the meme.
I respect the spirit you're going for, but FYI, Libby/Overdrive are private-equity owned and just as exploitative (if not more so) than the major publishers were.
Libby does not give libraries an unlimited license for digital books, but rather makes them pay what they would for a physical book, and allows them to loan out the digital copy a relatively small number of times (usually around ~4-5 IIRC) under the guise that a physical book would have been irreparably degraded after that amount of use. There's a stream of billions of dollars being moved from non-consenting taxpayers going right to a monopolistic gatekeeper.
If we're talking physical books, libraries are definitely still great for that, but I find that the vast majority of the time I look to check if they have a specific book I'm after, there are zero physical copies anywhere in the system, and all the digital "copies" are already "checked out". E.g., I went looking for a copy of PKD's Valis last week, and my options were: library audiobook (vomit), wait two weeks for a "checked out" digital copy from the library (vomit), buy from Amazon (vomit), or sail the seas.
So no, that's a shitty substitute — libraries have been co-opted into an extractive, for-profit system and utterly perverted into a shell of what they were in the 20th century.
Amazon may take action against egregious mass-scanning offenders per the “…to violate the security, integrity, or availability of any user, network…” verbiage of the AUP, especially if they’re fingerprinting services or engaging in more sophisticated recon, but OP’s complaints are nowhere near meeting that threshold.
You’ll get used to it eventually, but you can e.g. tweak your PS1 to an all-caps hostname, or use a custom tmux layout with dedicated panes for each box you connect to.
However, the hardware market is in a weird spot right now; you’ll get far more bang for your buck with an Intel N150. You can find a 16GB DDR5 w/ 1 TB SSD around the $200 mark, and that’s what I’d roll with in your shoes, assuming you don’t mind living without a spinning disk. Your Jellyfin and Immich instances will run far smoother.
Ah that’s fair, I can see where you’re coming from on that. Those icons could 100% be generated with AI given the right prompting.
In my book, they look way more like stock assets to me due to how generic the symbols are, and the consistent styling. The “army guard” icon is kinda sus because of the stick “gun”, but that can be read as deliberate ambiguity to appease potential corporate customers who don’t want gun depictions in their vector stock images, and same deal with the generic “six point star”.
You’d also think they’d have chosen some sort of more detailed depiction of “isolation & surveillance” than a megaphone, or a lightning head for “fear & control”. If any of the accompanying text was included in the prompt to generate these images, the output would’ve been completely different.
I challenge you or anyone else who thinks this is AI to try to duplicate the image using any standard gen AI tooling. Please post what you get, I fucking dare you.
This is 100% crappy vector art thrown together into a crappy infographic by hand, and that thing on the bottom of the skeleton is called a pelvis.
The TLDR is that a history podcaster started doing a martian sci-fi arc on his podcast series about political revolution, but delivered it 100% straight without any fanfare. It’s quirky but very good.
Please tell me more, which firewall would you recommend that plays nice with Docker?
Firewalld
No NAT?
Another user in this thread suggested DMZing, so combine your advice with theirs and boom. It’s not uncommon, and it’s fine if you firewall the box yourself. Most people don’t knowingly choose to use a firewall that they don’t intend to work, like you would.
why would you copy paste a docker compose without reading it?
There’s more than one way to use docker. Spinning up an official mysql image using the official docker run OR docker compose calls suggested by the docs would start up a server wide open to the entire internet if DMZ’d.
Just to throw out an easy option: if the music is well-labeled on Youtube, you can get pretty close to that full suite with just yt-dlp by using --embed-thumbnail as a stand-in for album art, dumping your files with an “Artist - track - album” naming structure using the --output-template flag — then using an awk or python script as a second pass to add the artist/track/album names to each file as tags.
E: and in case it isn’t self-evident, you don’t have to give yt-dlp a URL for each track; it’ll work fine with a playlist URL.
Tag cleanup and album art are their own beast that you’ll wanna tackle post-download, but beets is another gold standard tool that can help with that layer.
You shouldn’t suggest UFW at all then. There are other firewall options that can be used just fine with docker.
It does have real potential to cause serious issues, e.g. if OP were to put their server in DMZ mode on their router and later copy some docker setup instructions that don’t explicitly bind to localhost.
This is dangerous advice because docker is well-known for undoing UFW’s iptable rules. It’s mitigated by binding to localhost, but still way too easy for people to shoot themselves in the foot by using the two together.
