The future I wish to see!

The whole idea in the recent supreme court case where I think it was Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who made the absurd argument that apparently it's ok to destroy equipment if you're a union because if you're striking then the union deserves it was actually legit evil.

No, unions shouldn't be above the law. If you harm people, if you damage something you don't own, then you should be held to account.

Now, I might agree that the government shouldn't have the ability to legislate workers back to work during a strike notwithstanding potential harm to people or equipment at the very bare minimum required to mitigate that, but that's a different question than saying police may never get involved with a labor dispute.

Just a heads up that you might find it easier to learn a bit of the lingo than to try to translate all the entry-level stuff from linux to windows.

If you do figure it out though, you should document the process and put it up somewhere.

My first server was quite a bit tougher than that and it had some serious issues when I started asking it to do a lot at once. You might be able to get it going, but I suspect you might not be too happy with the performance you get out of it.

It's a bit shocking how much hardware you can get for how cheap. Even an Intel Atom box available for less than a hundred bucks that has no fan would likely run circles around that thing. One thing I'd definitely suggest is no matter what, an SSD if you're planning to run multiple platforms.

Pfsense or opnsense are really powerful options.

You'll need a wireless access point as well, but those two are quite powerful and can run on quite powerful hardware.

Life isn't fair, sometimes it's easier to be virtuous for some people than others. It doesn't mean virtue isn't virtuous because it's harder.

A couple generations ago, fat people were super rare because there wasn't that much food and the food we had was kinda boring. Basic meals like meal after meal of bread, or potatoes, if you were lucky some meat, no spices like we think of today. In fact, our propensity for gaining weight comes from the reality that in the past you were much more likely to die of starvation than of overeating.

But also, it was much easier back then to be a violent wrathful person. To be strong enough to defend yourself but to not abuse that strength is a virtue whether it's easy or not.

If one grows up on a monestary and never sees a member of the opposite sex, it is easy to be chaste, but that doesn't mean it isn't a virtue to be chaste in a hypersexualized culture where you can't escape the temptation for lust, and that's something we deeply desire the same as food on an existential level.

If one grows up under the boot of a tyrannical aristocracy, it may be easy not to be prideful, but that doesn't mean humility stops being a virtue.

I've noticed people love their downvote brigades. You can take the redditor out of reddit, but you can't take the reddit out of the redditor.

I'm not religious, but lately I've been having a lot more appreciation for the lessons in the world's religions.

People don't like the idea of being judged, but reality will ruthlessly wipe you and your bloodline out of existence, and in that way it doesn't matter if you want to be judged or not, you will be judged and erased from history if you come up short.

I’ve been reading through the bible via a kids bible with my son.

One of the things that legitimately shocked me is how I was completely wrong about assuming I got the gist of everything via cultural osmosis. Yeah, there’s a few spots that we hear all about, but story after story after story I’d never heard anything about.

For a while I was doing the work from home thing, and I found it hilarious that I'd be sitting in the same chair and it'd be like "CLOSE THE LAPTOP OF WORK! OPEN THE LAPTOP OF PLAY!"

Plugs can be more secure, but they also can't.

You don't want plugs to be too secure because they're supposed to be temporary. Plug in fast, unplug fast.

There's a benefit to plugs that come off easily: That's the weakest point. If you kick a cord, the cord doesn't snap, it just comes unplugged. If you make your plug stronger, maybe instead the cable breaks and now you've got lethal voltage swinging around, or you have arcing inside a connector or inside a cable that starts a fire.

There are electrical connections that are more secure used in industry or other places. For example DIN plugs or Brad Harrison connectors.

Because it's a thing that actually exists, doesn't result in a pay or benefits cut, and people who experienced it actually like.

4-10s is common in heavy industry. Same number of hours, but you get a lot more weekend and weekends with stats are even better.

I've worked such a work week, and would heartily endorse it.

Lots of options besides the one instance.

I like the idea of a distributed community where everyone can see posts from any other instance they federate with.

You could have two types of community, one federated local and one federated global, and the former acts like current communities, and the latter would act like a big pot everyone throws stuff into, and local instance mods could set which instances to accept and deny posts and comments from, and which instances to federate moderation actions from

Yes, and we can do something about our own instances. Depending on your reverse proxy there's a couple options.

We're not allowed to have nice things.

I could swear there was already a modern warfare 3? Or is this another berenstain bears moment?

Might as well have some fun with it, you won't be able to buy a penny candy with it by the end of the year at the rate we're going.

That is showing the model, but you can press the print preview button and it should show you how it will print. If that was just a superfluous polygon that wouldn't print, it'll show up in the print preview.

Yep!

If you like the fediverse, then the answer is to be on the fediverse.

It's a pretty awesome platform anyway, so it's worth being on regardless of the entire earth being here.
