i distinctly remember the outcome of hundreds of hours of foaming-at-the-mouth congressional conservatives desperate to charge her with anything and not being able to find a single law that was broken. policy? definitely. unfortunately thats not illegal

with the current administration not only is all policy merely decoration, but most laws also.

they and the supreme court are abusing the slow churn of government to dissolve the republic. good job, guys.

its about heavy regulation and preventing regulatory capture… but corps have deep pockets and people are weak.

its always only a matter of time until people are voting against their own best interests.

not so much the variant but the tooling you’ll use…

ie, ive been usin docker+portainer

my fav setup is kodi, emby, minecraft… all the arrs’ running in containers on mint no problem. i suspect any docker compatible variant would work, but mint is groovy.

kinda smells like truenas with its datasets

i remember this video of an indian guy who suffers a brain aneurysm on camera.

not outside the realm of possibility… just sayin

i have this idea that communities should be created due to some actual pressure… as a solution to a group needing a home away from some general purpose stream… like when star trek memes took over the main memes channels and thus, required that signal be extracted into its own community…

you cant just build a community and hope the content creators will come… they must already need a home.

do you rent or own?

hehehhehe

i feel like you may not really understand how basic the average user is.

for example, most have never even been near people who know what tor is. and as the technical-info proxy for an absurd number of humans the number of people asking me how to be ‘uncensored’ on the internet is zero. its fucking zero.

i spose…

my anecdote;

ive been runnin drives like this for 30 years. ive literally never had a cold storage drive go bad out of the case… mostly because their hourly use rate is kept so incredibly low. even back in the day of very unreliable drives…

they even retain their data better than modern ssds

3 methods for me…

1. (daily) live nas backup (I have 2 of these mirrored for giggles)
2. (90 days) cold, manual copy of nas data to drive stored in pelican case
3. (live) cheap cloud storage of essential data in backblaze encrypted vault (duplicati)

its harder than it looks

i would just point out that lemmy is merely a single platform swimming in the fediverse content waters… there are other options that provide differing features while interacting with the same or more content. see https://fedidb.com/

im an mbin cheerleader

she would be pardoned by trump immediately.

laws dont matter anymore.

the only life a republican values (other than their own) is that of a fetus, and even that is temporary.

gross

like it or not; we are a biologically social species… or else

dont forget its the fediverse, it exists somewhere;

dunno… seems a bit early… thing were still too local. i would put it closer to 92.
