  • Funny how people did the exact same thing regarding the concentration camps the Nazis operated. People chose not to believe the reports they heard from the inside regarding the horrendous and deadly conditions. They “waited for the facts” which of course did not come out until after several years of grinding gruelling war, and well after the final solution began and the gas chambers were operational.

    There’s evidence enough as it all stands right now to know that Greta is being tortured and abused, and her human rights violated, as we know so many Palestinians have already been for decades and continue to be every day. Hell, the Israeli officials are constantly publicly bragging about the violations of human rights and international law they’re committing, so maybe even listen to them when they do so?



  • The amount of posts and discussion about him getting shot is way out of proportion to his level of fame/influence

    For the amount of gun violence in America this is the most high profile assassination that’s happened on US soil that I know of in my lifetime. I do think there’s some amount of boosting going on with the Republicans trying to post-humously elevate the status of this relatively average (and honestly probably waning) Republican political pundant, but I honestly can’t think of anyone in the US who’s been successfully assassinated during my lifetime, especially not with so many cameras already recording and such widely shared footage of the event. Please feel free to prove me wrong (hehe see what I did there?)

    Like the only comparable events I can think of would be that time someone threw his shoes at George W Bush and the attempt on Trump’s life where the bullet’s shockwave cut his ear. The dude with the hammer who went after Nancy and Paul Pelosi would also be up there if there was widely shared footage of the event. Maybe the infamous security camera footage of the Columbine shooters?


  • Once you have stuff running on an old computer you’ll get to know what you actually need and can spend your money more intelligently. If you do buy anything, buy an ~8 year old corporate desktop. They’re cheap as chips because they’re close to ewaste, but 4/6th Gen Intel systems have enough performance to really do a ton with in the homelab scene


  • Another idea I forgot to share is potentially just creating a worksheet that you can send to a printing company for paper forms. There’s tons of printing companies which you can just provide a PDF or even just a logo and some info and get a custom pad of paper printed with that, so it’ll have your logo and the fields you need then just rip off each sheet after it’s written out.

    Otherwise if you really need this info digital, a spreadsheet or something in saltcorn is probably your best bet, but really you want to keep it simple at the scale you described (hence the custom printed pads of paper idea)








  • That was Logan Paul, and actually the Paul brothers’ antics actually greatly delayed Pewd’s immigration as the Japanese government actually stopped granting new visas to any social media personalitiws for some time after the Paul incidents.

    If I remember correctly he wasn’t able to immigrate until mid-2020 thanks to the Paul Borthers’ lack of respect for anyone






  • My wife was a PewDiePie fan from before the slur incident so I’ve loosely seen some of his content over the years. He’s apologized multiple times, and he’s shifted his style significantly multiple times since then.

    Basically in the last few years he’s grown up a ton. He married his girlfriend of a decade or more after earlier refusing marriage, had a baby, emigrated to Japan and now posts tons of creative and day-in-the-life style vlogs


  • LBRY is cool but I’m honestly sketched out by the creators that currently exist there. It’s mostly weird libertarians and crypto bros plus random porn bots. Also between the first and most recent times I played with it they added a CDN that hosts all of the files and something like 99% of the data I downloaded while farting around on there came from that single official CDN, so very decentralized.

    Peertube has actual large creators who aren’t weird conservative podcasters, and tons of different servers already which serve content, and great Mastadon integration which puts it in a much better spot for growth moving forwards than LBRY. You can literally watch peertube videos from Mastadon (Which has millions of active users including some celebrities and government officials) and comment on them from Mastadon, so there’s kinda already a userbase measured in millions depending on how you classify cross-fediverse users


  • Realistically Tailscale seems to currently be running on a model of get all of the self hosters to love running it at home so then they advocate to run it at work where all of the pricey enterprises licenses make the real money.

    I’ve actually seen some real world usecases where if I had more political push, I would’ve put Tailscale onto the running as a potential solution

    Hopefully they have the right people in place to push back at the VC firms about maintaining their current strategy rather than scaring away all of their best advocates before they can truly get off the ground. Having worked at a company owned by a hedgefund, part of the trick is having the right people in place in the company who can block the worst decisions by the capital-hungry owners
