Problem isn’t the hosting, it’s the content licensing. It’s difficult to get a legal copy of the content that you can actually possess. Without that, doesn’t matter if you are streaming the content through self-hosted servers or playing it locally. It’s the content itself that is the real issue. It’s often just not “sold” only “licensed” or “rented”.

Uggghhh, I have to fly next month. Not going to be fun…

Depends on what you want. You can have the application have an https certificate which could either be one issued my a globally trusted issuer or could just be a self issued certificate that caddy is configured to trust. And caddy can then add the globally trusted certificates from let’s encrypt or whatever. But that definitely requires extra steps. Just, how secure do you want to be?

I use forgejo on a raspberry pi.

Don’t include the non-encoded part of the data or it will corrupt the decryption. The decoder can’t tell the difference between data that’s not encoded and data that is encoded since it’s all text.

Do you mean this config option?

[server] 
hosts = 0.0.0.0:5232, [::]:5232

That is binding the service to a network interface and port. For example your computer probably has a loopback interface and an Ethernet interface and WiFi interface. And you can bind to an IPv4 and or IPv6 address on those interfaces. Which ones do you want radicale to listen to traffic from and on what port? The example above listens on all interfaced both IPv4 and IPv6 and uses port 5323 on all. Of course that port must not be in use on any interface. Generally using this notation is insecure, but fine for testing. Put the real IP addresses when you’re ready.

They don’t consider us people. It’s fine for them to take away rights of what they consider little more than animals. They barely consider any women to be people, but definitely not trans-women.

Yep, basically every summer for me, too.

Yeah, the definitions are actually more about alignment with the US political parties rather than left or right. And since both parties are demonstrably right of center, just to different degrees, the bias meter should only be used to determine which political party’s sponsors likely biased the article.

For example, an article saying climate change is not human caused and presenting debunked evidence will be ranked mostly center and second mostly right. But an article calling for incentives to reduce use of fossils fuels will be ranked mostly left. That’s mostly center if anything. An article calling for the government to explicitly force companies to stop using fossil fuels would be mostly left and center. One further advocating for the government to take over energy companies that don’t comply and make energy production public would be mostly left. Just presenting scientific evidence and refusing to give a voice to debunked “alternative facts” is not a leftist position, it’s a centrist one at best and should be the baseline.

Yeah, it’s easy enough to configure it properly, I have it set up on all of my servers and my laptop to treat it as a network mount, not a local one, and to try to connect on boot, but not require it. But it took me a while to understand what it was doing to even look for a solution. So, hopefully that saves you time. 🙂

NFS is really good inside a LAN, just use 4.x (preferably 4.2) which is quite a bit better than 2.x/3.x. It makes file sharing super easy, does good caching and efficient sync. I use it for almost all of my Docker and Kubernetes clusters to allow files to be hosted on a NAS and sync the files among the cluster. NFS is great at keeping servers on a LAN or tight WAN in sync in near real time.

What it isn’t is a backup system or a periodic sync application and it’s often when people try to use it that way that they get frustrated. It isn’t going to be as efficient in the cloud if the servers are widely spaced across the internet. Sync things to a central location like a NAS with NFS and then backups or syncs across wider WANs and the internet should be done with other tech that is better with periodic, larger, slower transactions for applications that can tolerate being out of sync for short periods.

The only real problem I often see in the real world is Windows and Samba (sometimes referred to as CIFS) shares trying to sync the same files as NFS shares because Windows doesn’t support NFS out of the box and so file locking doesn’t work properly. Samba/CIFS has some advantages like user authentication tied to active directory out of the box as well as working out of the box on Windows (although older windows doesn’t support versions of Samba that are secure), so if I need to give a user access to log into a share from within a LAN (or over VPN) from any device to manually pull files, I use that instead. But for my own machines I just set up NFS clients to sync.

One caveat is if you’re using this for workstations or other devices that frequently reboot and/or need to be used offline from the LAN. Either don’t mount the shares on boot, or take the time to set it up properly. By default I see a lot of people get frustrated that it takes a long time to boot because the mount is set as a prerequisite for completing the boot with the way some guides tell you to set it up. It’s not an NFS issue; it’s more of a grub and systemd (or most equivalents) being a pain to configure properly and boot systems making the default assumption that a mount that’s configured on boot is necessary for the boot to complete.

But not good long term. A lithium ion battery being constantly drained and charged to 100% will keep the temperature high and wear it out more quickly and the more worn a lithium ion battery is, the more likely it will catch fire or explode.

I have m.2 hats for the couple of raspberry pis that need more intense disk operations. Never use SD cards or flash drives, which generally end up being just SD cards in a USB package.

Are you wanting something that you don’t have to download from GitHub yourself (so a project that hosts a docker container somewhere and just code is in GitHub is OK), or are you looking to boycott any project that is not boycotting GitHub and so any part of that project should not use GitHub for any code at all in which case possibly even dependencies should not be on GitHub even if they publish their distributions elsewhere? Or somewhere in between?

If the issue includes gender presentation repulsion, then just start with dressing femme and see how it goes. If you share similar sizes, try wearing her clothes. Have her help you with makeup and outfit planning to make it a fun activity. It will allow you to see if you like it, and her to see if she is comfortable with it.

If the issue also includes genitals and you’re planning to change yours, then bringing in someone with those genitals is likely going to be necessary if you want to know before your surgery. A decent quality escort might be a good option to avoid hurting someone else’s feelings in all of that depending on the laws in your area or your ability to travel somewhere it’s legal and safe. Another option might be some toys that have a full torso with breasts and vulva/vagina and playing with that to see how it goes, but not sure how effective that is overall compared to a real person, which is definitely a different experience.

Also, note that a lot of these things are learned rather than instinctual. Especially gender presentation which is a societal norm, not an inherent gender related compulsion. So, those are usually possible to overcome, though therapy may be required. Genital attraction is a little instinct and a little societal, so it can be more complex. But there are ways around it, like toys.

Either way, a good therapist that specifically has experience with transgender issues is going to likely be necessary because a lot of these issues are not going to just disappear on their own. Usually they are deeply seeded in conditioning from religion or other conservative ideals and breaking those kinds of conditioning takes time and doing it wrong can result in resentment.

Yeah wasn’t meaning to imply that as I did see your post. I meant either at the server level there must be a rule about this or a rogue moderator perhaps.

Yeah, I wasn’t meaning OP. I meant to imply it might have been an automated server rule or moderator.

Because the fact that trans people even exist is “controversial” and “confuses children”. In reality children are usually the least confused by the subject since they haven’t been as exposed to hate speech saying we don’t exist or are “destroying families”.

Not your preferences personally, but the preferences they think you have based on those categories because there are a lot of preferences that society says people of those genders are supposed to prefer. It’s used in almost all advertising categorization because the majority of people give in to conforming to those preferences in order to fit in. Most men don’t wear lacy pink and purple or they get called sissies or whatever, so they don’t advertise lacy lingerie to people categorized as men for example. Otherwise they’re wasting their ads. But LGBTQ+ people aren’t really considered in these things because most ad companies are too conservative and even admitting LGBTQ+ people even exist is hard to get people like that to do.

It’s only there because their ads want it and companies they sell your data to want it so they know what forced preferences society has told you to have and they can target you with those.
