  • Trump literally brags about studying Hitlers speeches. His father was a well known Nazi sympathizer.

    Trump often uses Nazi rhetoric and sologans. The examples of these are extremely numerous and no other broadly supported American politician has been caught as often, all but assuring dog-whistling.

    Neo-Nazis openly back Trump and are in his inner circle. They've been caught with swastika flags and tattoos, SS tattoos, 88 tattoos, often ending merchandise on Trump's own websites with $X.88, lifting their arms in a Sig Heil at rallies, etc etc etc etc.

    Trump has been asked to condemn his Neo-Nazi supporters and their racial violence, and he refuses.

    If it quacks like a Nazi, acts like a Nazi, and literally claims to be a Nazi- we should call it a Nazi.

  • Agreed, net/net energy usage reduction is more efficient. However, carbon capture and/or geoengineering are now unfortunately necessary in tandem with reducing emissions for humanity (and the other species unfortunate enough to be sharing this planet with our mistakes) to avoid the worst outcomes of climate change. We simply didn't do enough soon enough, and several warming effects are already in motion.

    And unfortunately, both climate deniers and activists alike have been fighting against additional funding and research in these technologies, so we're pretty far behind in our understanding.

  • Jurassic Park. Though at the time I suppose it could have been a more direct Unix descendant.

    Wayne's World 2 (yes there's a 2) Garth talks to a girl about the Unix book she's carrying.

    Antitrust, but that's kind of cheating

    In the Iron Man movies his server cluster is a couple of Oracle racks, so probably running either Solaris or Oracle Linux.

  • If you're concerned, you can use an android firewall to block Internet access from the app aside from your sync server.

    But to be clear, the concern voiced in that thread is not the privileges that obsidian has, it's that other apps can read the obsidian notes. So your risk profile will vary with what notes you take.

  • I use obsidian + self hosted Live Sync https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync. My data is fully encrypted and stays with me and my devices. The apps themselves are incredible, absolutely packed with features and the community is extremely engaged and actively developing awesome plugins to further extend the capabilities.

    The only downside is that it's closed source, but the data format is widely understood, so if obsidian went belly up for some crazy reason there are import tools for basically every open source platform.

  • They needed an "other" to reunify the fundamentalist Christian bloc against, since abortion isn't seen by them as much of an issue these days to motivate their voters.

    And since they lost the battle of the 80s, 90s, and 00s against openly gay people and society is rapidly becoming more accepting of gay marriage, they had to shift their targets. Trans folks are an easy target because they seem so different and hard to understand. Surgeries, hormone treatments, bathrooms... Obviously interfering with 'gods biological plan' for themselves etc etc.

    It's sickening. And once society manages to begin clearing the trans hurdle they will find another minority to target.

  • For Trump, others 'respect' is groveling and subservience.

    Trust and collaboration are never what he wants. That leaves room for him to not get his way.

    What he fails to grasp is that people can act like they're subservient to you while making you a useful idiot, especially when you're as easily manipulated as he is.

    And this is precisely why world leaders and business leaders are lining up to kiss his ring. Not out of fear, but because they want something and they know how to get it with him.

  • Maintenance is easier than you think. I "maintain" 40+ services by simply automatically updating them. And if that makes one stop working (very rare) I get an alert and fix it when I get time.

    I use ansible for that, though you could more easily accomplish much the same with Watchtower.

  • The best thing you can do to increase your confidence in the data reliability is to invest in backups AND doing at least RAID-1 on a reliable check-summing filesystem like ZFS, which Proxmox supports easily out of the box.

    I have ZFS and cloud based backups and I've never lost or corrupted data in over 10 years.

    And personally, I don't back up my movies/TV shows. The volume is too high to bother and with ZFS snapshots and reliability, and the high seas being what they are, most everything is (eventually) recoverable.

  • Milkman. It's simple and I've seen bugs where it hangs, but overall it works well, doesn't require a login, runs local, is open source, supports postman import, and exports to a nice variety of formats

  • I mean, there shouldn't be less sales people, just they'll work for the manufacturer interested in getting more of their inventory sold rather than a slimeball third party interested in predatory lending, needless add-ons/ accessories, and inflating the prices of already expensive vehicles so they can parasitize a few dollars more.
