OpenMediaVault is pretty rad. I run it in a VM on a ProxMox machine and it ended up doing all the Docker lifting because the GUI management is just so nice.
I do need to get more CLI-ninja with Docker eventually, but in my experience it's a very cumbersome and fiddly process.
Unless something breaks and needs more hands-on, I feel like OpenMediaVault's container interface completely replaces Portainer and smooths the on-ramp for newbie self-hosters.
In a just world, this party would be considered so radioactive it would be Business 101 to lock the door in their face and make sure it's VERY clear you'd never serve their interests. To deal with them at all should risk being marked a traitor and shunned.
Anybody who identifies with these bullies and thugs needs to have the privilege of watching that little red line plummet in real time.
Haha maybe I was overly enthusiastic, but no it was sincere. :) For some reason the sentiment like "The only reason that stupid clanker can write well is because I wrote well first" just gave me a good laugh LOL.
I really don't like the idea that someone that actually knows how to write being accused of being a bot; I won't stand for AI poisoning legitimate creativity along with the rest.
Agreed 100%. I really hate this post-truth Ai situation we find ourselves in, and I worry that accusing people of being bots for being articulate is just another kind of anti-intellectualism we'll be facing.
(Which is ironic, because I'm very certain you can ask the thing to write poor grammar like an average Internet commenter.)
If they think they can best you through physical force alone, that's what they will do. You can't let them think that. You need a stick to respond in kind with.
Holding that stick is fine. We have a Constitutional right to that stick. They need to be made to think about that stick before they attack us.
BUT we gotta play smarter than that and pray to God we don't gotta use that stick, because these guys will beat The People in a standup fight. Why?
Their whole lives are violence. They dream of violence, they are paid handsomly to spend their time training for violence, they spend their individual salaries on violence-multipliers and have government budgets to enable their violence, they consume violence.
They have forfeited their humanity in order to be really, really good at brutalizing and killing other human beings, and they have a massive apparatus behind them.
If we draw a line in the sand they will cross that line because they know they would win that game.
However, they seemingly struggle to understand how their own friggin' government works though, and they're slipping up, even with their cronies in place. We need to press that advantage as hard as we can and play a game they're too stupid to handle.
So if we can embolden the political resistance, and also stoke civil resistance as discussed above (cutting off supply lines and flipping public sentiment and pressuring weenie politicians), any act of brutality is still a massive mark against them right now.
I'm sure only the most diehard cultists can see what happened to that poor woman and still think "bUt MuH jUsTiFiEd FeDs ThO." The more we expose them, the more they'll lose support, even from all their wet-napkin neolib suburbanites who "Don't follow politics."
By all means, we should still train and be ready to use that stick, if all else fails. But by God...we should not be eager.
Seriously, thank you for that writeup. I clung to every word, and it inspired hope.
While the prevailing hivemind narrative is that people are "doing nothing" while Nero plays his fiddle, that's clearly not actually the case, and inspires me to be way more politically active.
Thank you again for the discourse and taking the time to educate people. You're doing good work. God bless and stay safe out there. <3
What a mic-drop shutdown of a response. DAMN. Lol!
You're totally right with that approach. Asking rational questions that bypass kneejerk violence-monkey emotions tends to not get a valid response.
I'm also wary of all these "Well go start a fight or you don't actually care" posts. They're typical keyboard-warrior nonsense and I wouldn't be surprised if they were bots at this point, as there would be a lot of value in flooding every communication platform imaginable with this rhetoric until it does something to legitimize tyranny. This would be trivial for any nation-state or even competent fringe group to pull off.
Okay but what if I'm wearing skinnyjeans and a mask and a plate carrier with a punisher-emblem tho, and I repeatedly told them "DON'T YOU FKING THREATEN ME" and they do something like touch their pocket? Then I can murder stand my ground right?
At this point of constant bizarre improbabilities, I kinda just hope he has some kinda sepsis backup and drowns in his own excrement coming out his face on live television in front of all his fans.
Sounds to me like she was understandably following all of that safety advice of "What to do when a masked lunatic tries to carjack you at gunpoint" and get the heck out of there.
What if she did comply? Would she get pulled out and beaten, harassed for hours, and eventually released? Or instead suddenly find herself on a cargo plane to a blacksite death camp in friggin Djibouti? It's insane that we can't know. No friggin' WONDER she took her chances with fleeing!
Vance especially urged Europe to respond to Trump's insistence that the United States needs the island for "missile defense."
Missile defense? Against whom, exactly‽
Giving it to him probably just presents an advantageous position to move on the EU, when he lets corporations melt Greenland for resources and decides he wants that next. He'll probably start with the U.K since it already foolishly excused itself from the group.
In slightly more seriousness (because my previous idea sadly isn't out of the question in clown-world, stupid as it was.)
China or Russia is the obvious one to want to defend against, but why so desperate as to break existing alliances to do it by force?
The entire world started posturing up and increasing defense spending dramatically largely in response to the Orange Bully's peacocking all over the place.
It's going down in history that this bastard and his sycophantic simps are literally responsible for stoking WWIII, all because a rich child-raper couldn't fathom the inside of a jail cell.
The fascist part is:
Ohh humans are the problem
Okay, which humans?
Who decides who gets what? Who lives and who dies?
Is there any consideration for the power dynamics in our society (spoiler, no there is not)
That's the part that always gets me. When I hear that argument it usually goes like this:
"There's too many humans, we're killing our planet :("
"Yeah good thing you're not one of those! Oh wait you are so...Okay, are you gonna be first in line to sacrifice yourself for the alleged Greater Good or. . .?"
