If, at this point, any trans person wanted to risk their life for this country, they probably just banned the most loyal human beings in the world.

I swear WSL already had Arch.

I have tons of great suggestions depending on your hardware and what kinds of things you’d like to be hosting.

However, for starters, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you are binding your qBittorrent container to a privacy VPN network interface. Test it to ensure it’s working. There are sites out there that you can use to check how your torrent IP presents. No matter what you’re torrenting, keep your IP hidden. The last thing you want is your ISP to terminate your fancy new service.

Is he? They never actually showed the wedding between two MAIN CHARACTERS!

Let’s Encrypt has done so much for encouraging the spread of HTTPS and good certificate practices. If they went away, I honestly think a good chunk of the internet would start breaking after ~6 months.

This really sucks. I honestly didn’t know the Feds gave so much money to FOSS, but I looked up the USAGM and that makes sense.

It tracks with current trends. Basically anything that could be interpreted as benefiting any county other than the United States or any demographic other than rich white men is getting funding cut. What an embarrassment.

At a time when decentralizing information is critical, our tools to do so are also threatened.

Configurations behind a reverse proxy that did not explicitly configure trusted proxies will not work after this release. This was never a supported configuration, so please ensure you correct your configuration before upgrading. See the updated docs here for more information.

Well I’m glad I read that before upgrading!

Just give the hooman a rootbeer.

I get why Federation can cause issues (most of the time it’s moderation related), but why would an extra option be a deal-breaker? Federation can always be disabled on a per-domain basis if you prefer. In fact, I’d argue it’s best practice to only allow domains on a case-by-case basis to prevent spam and abuse.

On the converse, you can’t enable Federation on a platform that doesn’t have it.

Yes, which is good, but the lack of federation is a deal-breaker. It means that you either:

1. Use their servers - This requires entrusting them with your communities, just like Discord.
2. Host your own private instance - You can control it, but the lack of federation means it’ll be isolated from communicating with other communities. This makes it really difficult to convince people to use your self-hosted servers.

Until Revolt adds a way for different instances to federate, Matrix is really the only other option.

Seems a bit heavy to use full Ubuntu for a single application appliance, but I guess it’s still probably better than Windows.

I remember trying this out a while back and bouncing off it because it was a Windows only app. I’d love a Linux client or even a Web UI to make it platform agnostic.

Right now Syncthing basically fulfills this need for me (including “cloud” saves) outside the nice library UI.

Not aligning these could lead to some hilarious boarding situations.

Is there a canon answer for why Star Trek ships always meet aligned? I always assumed either

1. Ships generally align with the galactic axis (seems unlikely every species would accept the standard).
2. Ships realign automatically when approaching another vessel based on their artificial gravity or something.

I imagine #2 could lead to some comical spinning as two ships keep trying to align to each other.

EDIT: Also, #2 gets exponentially more complicated as the number of ships increases–maybe the smaller ships align to the biggest one?

I think you’re confusing DST with leap days?

We do this now with NTP. Digital clocks have a surprising amount of drift even without relativistic effects.

You realize DST is zero sum, right? Anything you gain in the evening, you lose in the morning, and vice versa.

Also, anything you gain in the spring, you lose in the fall, and vice versa.

Nothing is ever gained.

It’s the change that is an extra inconvenience that causes disruption in people’s plans and circadian rhythms. Also, for the neurotic out there, the clock is technically wrong during DST as it doesn’t reflect the sun’s position in the sky.

Justice for Tuvix!
