This does sound like it could be a liability issue if not done correctly

wouldn’t it be impossible to unmix any pigment color combo? And wtf does that sort of metaphor even mean?

It’s an example of a situation where it’s easier to start fresh than undo past actions, which by your point you show you understand.

I don’t think it’s acceptable to call the planet an unfixable mess.

Let’s differentiate between OUR planet, and the planet depicted in the movie. Are you saying that there are no ways in which a fictional future earth is unsalvageable?

Do you also rally against movies set in, for example, a dystopian cyberpunk setting due to not liking the scene it was set in?

There is no real response because we’re talking about a fictional future, with unknown ailments, established by maybe 20 minutes of film as a backdrop. They wanted to tell a story titled “interstellar”, not “terrestrial”.

Given all those unknowns, it stands that there are times when starting fresh is easier than undoing. Trying to unmix brown pigments comes to mind.

You asked:

If earth is in a climate apocalypse, and we have extremely advanced technology that lets us bring life to far out planets, then why are we leaving earth? Can’t those same technologies be applied to saving the earth people?

This is a potential answer, given the lack of established truths in this fictional universe.

It can be easier to start with a fresh slate than it is to salvage a mess.

The self hosted community is probably the worst place you could ask about something while ruling out “privacy and tinkering”. Those words might as well be the motto here.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

You implied they were a Nazi, I’m not surprised by some bruskness if the accusation was entirely off the mark.

I found it very uplifting that in her own written piece, she spent much of it highlighting and telling the stories of others. Sure, it’s unfortunate that this has made the headlines due to her being a white woman, but what she does with the spotlight is admirable.

The part that I learned the most from. I had no idea the detention centers were for profit:

The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.

Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.

The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense.

100%. This is just due to the cost of hitting their servers in case you can’t reach your network

Right, but IIRC anyone can go on the plex.tv website and use shared servers due to the “proxy”

Idk how much of a threat it actually is, but wasn’t musk threatening to primary anyone who went against him?

Louis Rossman, a strong advocate for the right to self-repair, has an extensive, bottom to top guide on self hosting your own services. It starts from introducing what a modem is and what role it plays, and it ends with an entirely self hosted cloud. It comes in article as well as 13 hour video form. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get started self hosting - it doesn’t just introduce software you should learn, but it also shows you how to configure it.

I finally got link warden up and running, but I’m chasing down some failures on a few websites.

Also realized that me biting the bullet for unlimited bandwidth (screw you Comcast!) means I can run archive team warrior, so that’s been going.

And equally important, how do you do your backups? What system and to where?
