It’s also worth noting that science can’t prove humans are conscious.

There’s a reason it’s called “the hard problem.”

Even Caitlyn Jenner?

I never heard of this before, but it looks similarly easy to deploy. It requires Javascript instead of Python, which is the same to me although I’m sure others will have a strong preference for one or the other. Pretty nice interface though.

Genuinely curious: What advantage would you have from running it in a docker container?

In this economy, that’s the one present everyone can afford.

LOL well at least you know I’m not an AI. Fixing now.

I also had a lot of difficulty setting up NextCloud. Based on the various reviews and comments, it seems like I may have actually dodged a bullet.

In general, as I’ve tried different self-hosting solutions, I’ve found that using a dedicated solution for each purpose has given me better results. I use Radicale for contacts and Calendar, Immich for photos, Jellyfin for media (Navidrome for music is great, but I ended up keeping my music library in Jellyfin because I liked the client apps better).

I’m using OwnCloud for filesync, although I’m also testing CopyParty, which is pretty phenomenal and stupid simple.

Tailscale is GOAT. Some people have speculated that it could be subject to enshitification some day. It’s managed by a for-profit company, but everything they do is open source. There are already well-tested forks like HeadScale if you ever have the need to self-host it in the future.

NextCloud seems great if you can get it working and provides a lot of services in one. Some people have said that causes bloat and slowdown, so there are two sides to the coin.

Syncthing is likely not a good option for a file server. It’s great if you want to have a shared file or folder on multiple devices, especially if you just want to transfer files quickly and seamlessly. It’s fantastic at what it does, but it’s not a file server. There are a lot of opportunities for error when using Syncthing.

Debt is a normal part of war, and Ukraine’s war debt is about a quarter of their peacetime GDP. Most of that has already been covered by the EU aid package last year.

Characterizing that as debt slavery is a pretty huge stretch.

Absolutely it is. We choose whether we live in a world where we defend freedom or where we appease bullies.

I guess for some people it’s an easier choice than for others.

Literally hundreds of studies showing that if people can buy a house before they’re 40, they will have more children.

You can’t legislate your way into a higher birth rate. Even authoritarian countries have tried and failed. But you can legislate systemic changes that help people with housing, childcare, and groceries.

That’s exactly how they ended up in a situation. Putin took Crimea with basically no resistance. He just didn’t count on Zelensky. Most other leaders would have given in to the pressure and let Putin overrun Ukraine (for a nice golden parachute).

I had 11, so it’s definitely less than that.

And here I’ve been throwing away all my dead mosquitoes like a sucker.

Yeah, it operates like a VPN. On my wife’s phone, I installed tailscale and set it as the “always on” VPN so that she never has to touch it. The same goes for computers. You can have it set as a startup app, and it should automatically connect every time.

On some devices, if you want to use another VPN, it can get complicated.

Tailscale only responds to the range of connections that it’s in charge of, so it doesn’t interfere with connecting to normal internet, etc.

I use Tailscale. It’s much simpler. Just install it on the host and client devices and everything is securely connected.

You may also be interested in Calibre Web Automated (which is similar but with more features)

There are some tweaks you can usually do on the server/host side as well. That’s particularly helpful if you use Thunderbird on multiple devices, such as desktop and phone.

Hopefully it will be even easier over time to sync settings between devices — I’d love to see filters and signatures across devices one day.

By this measure, Putin, Xi, and Maduro are right wing.

Not saying it’s wrong, just extending it to the logical conclusion.

Why don’t they ask Ghislaine for some?
