I thought the chosen people of the garden were supposed to bring civilization to the barbaric peoples of the jungle? Why is he shying away from white man's burden now?

Pretty sites are cool and all, but in my experience super simple things often just don't work. I'm not patient anymore when it comes to stuff like that, so I'll close the tab real quick and find the information elsewhere or move on to the next thing.

I can see that. Maybe I'm just too snarky.

Indeed they did, as they always do. I just can't stand burger crackers insisting that Ukraine is a sovereign nation, while at the same time their trusted media and government openly admit that the shots are being called from Washington and not Kiev.

Who gave the US the power to reject negotiation proposals between Ukraine and Russia? I thought Ukraine is an independent and sovereign country defending itself from an invading force. Who's the US to say what Ukraine can and can't meet to discuss?

Communists are hardly liberal, in fact by any reasonable political theory definition we're anti-liberal.

Forgejo is a git server, forked by Codeberg from Gitea after Gitea got bought up by a for-profit corporation.

Codeberg is a non-profit organization which runs a public instance of the Forgejo git server.

You can make an account on Codeberg.org, save repos there, and contribute to other repos, like on Github. Or you can run your own Forgejo instance to use either privately or open up to public use.

Copyright expires long after unprofitable content has been all but lost forever, something like 100 years after the death of the original creator. It used to be a far shorter period, but US corporations with big profitable IP holdings keep bribing lawmakers to extend it, and force its enforcement outside of the US as well. The concept of being able to sell copyrights is also quite silly if you ask me.

So unfortunate Gutenberg and similar libraries can only have really old stuff as things stand.

I said it during the campaign and I'll say it now, Biden's presidency is elder abuse. Not to say that I feel bad for Genocide Joe, he chose the path of violence for the expansion of the empire his whole life.

Corporations will never offer such archives, as they're a money losing proposition. In some cases IP and copyright law is even such that content can't be realistically archived and provided.

All told maybe a few hundred kilograms of waste every decade. A small price to pay, and certainly orders of magnitude less waste than currently used fossil and renewable electricity generation technology.

It makes more sense that Russia blew up their own very valuable pipeline because I already decided they're evil removed and by default guilty of everything!

Ah yes, the ever so trustworthy US State Department and intelligence services scribe the Washington Post. They're definitely not throwing a smokescreen.

"We've investigated ourselves of any wrongdoing, and while we can't credibly deny that we suggested blowing up the pipeline and really wanted the pipeline blown up, we definitely didn't touch the actual explosives!"

Didn’t the world kinda collectively discover that being a fascist, Nazi dickbag isn’t the way to go?

The west already knew how useful fascism and Nazis are.

You could rsync with directories shared on the local network, like a samba share or similar. It's a bit slower than ssh but for regular incremental backups you probably won't notice any difference, especially when it's supposed to run in the background on a schedule.

Alternatively use a non-password protected ssh key, as already suggested.

You can also write rsync commands or at least a shell script that copies all of your desired directories with one command rather than one per file.

Capital must grow. Capitalism constantly requires new inputs and new markets to exploit in order for capital to grow. Capitalism is very much like a parasite, feasting on its host and growing until there's no more host left, and all the parasite can do is die (or find a new host).

Not that the Roman empire was exactly capitalist, but it shared some characteristics.

I'm sure western bullshit about the Chinese economy is probably just being filtered as fake news, because it is.

Meanwhile the US National Security Advisor has admitted on multiple occasions that the Chinese economic model (market socialism and public ownership and investment into natural monopolies, a core tenet of SWCC) is more effective at economic growth than the American model (let Wall Street do whatever).

I tried migrating my personal services to Docker Swarm a while back. I have a Raspberry Pi as a 24/7 machine but some services could use a bit more power so I thought I'd try Swarm. The idea being that additional machines which are on sometimes could pick up some of the load.

Two weeks later I gave up and rolled everything back to running specific services or instances on specific machines. Making sure the right data is available on all machines all the time, plus the networking between dependencies and in some cases specifying which service should prefer which machine was far too complex and messy.

That said, if you want to learn Docker Swarm or Kubernetes and distributed filesystems, I can't think of a better way.

I'd run it with Docker. The official documentation looks sufficient to get it up and running. I'd add a database backup to the stack as well, and save those backups to a separate machine.

A Pi 4 draws maybe 5W of electricity most of the time. 24/7 operation at 5W will be your cost (approx 44 kWh per year), not including cost of the Pi, your internet connection, and any time you spend on maintenance.

In general white cishet westerners don't know any social dynamic beyond the "in" group oppressing the "out" group (colonialism, settler-colonialism, slavery, capitalism, imperialism), so without targeted education, their imagination of different social structures can only be a projection of this assumed default state.
