I’m gonna be the donkey with the obligatory “please talk to an expert”.

Joke aside, you might wanna consult with a psycho/speech therapist. The other symptoms you are described might not be related but they could be and you always wanna tackle the problem, not the symptom.

Fair enough, just my opinion

“is it happiness or sufferings?”

Or maybe it’s just a big cloud of gas, compacting into mass, exploding and growing into a universe. Maybe we think we are so incredibly grant but we’re just part of a historic cause and effects chain that’s still going. Maybe we want a reason but there is none and what we really want is the feeling of making a lasting impression on the world, or having something to work towards. But it’s all just happenstances and probabilities.

I’m sure you can find a thousand answers but never underestimate the power of Occam’s razor if you wanna find the most probable one.

Tbf this is less stealing and more skewing it to be less democratic, just like they did with gerrymandering.

Now what musk did last time with a lottery for each Republican voter, that was corruption and feels more like stealing. Or the thing where a bunch of Republicans broke into a voting place and started dissecting machines and votes, that’s stealing. Or when he effectively committed treason against the US on January 6. Or when he attacked poll workers, using stochastic terrorism against them and therefore trying to make the polling places more partisan. Or any of the uncountable similar things he did that slowly chip away at the legitimacy of the US as an independent democratic nation.

Maybe I’m being facetious but I wanna give the bad things the right words.

Used to carry a tactical pen disguised as a ballpoint pen.

Like people said, the best answers are the boring ones.

Best defense is being deescalating and avoiding dangerous situations, second is fast legs, third best is going to the gym, fourth best is probably pepper spray, and I would say the fifth best is a knife if legal. But most fights are over in under a second and there are no winners but only survivors with less severe injuries, and then it’s almost always weapon > muscles > luck > technique > stamina.

Oh yeah and don’t forget fighting is never cool. Everyone looks dumb, everything hurts and you will almost always regret it if you are sane.

Depends how strict you mean. A friend of mine got a stickman on his index finger and a trampoline on his thumb so he can pull them together and apart to make the stickman bounce on it.

It’s funny, but it’s also extremely meaningless. Technically the meaning could be fun but I don’t think there is a real one.

So no. I personally prefer tattoos on myself to have meaning, but I also heard usually the more tattoos you have the less important meaning becomes and lots of times people do it because it looks cool. Especially broad patterns and things like sleeves lean more into a design than into meaningful motifs, so that’s a whole category of tattoos that doesn’t necessarily have a meaning. And that’s only a small part of tattoos.

Yeah you got me

I used to like treyarch btw

Ngl in the last 15 years I have unfortunately been using windows the troubleshooting function never worked, not even once. And it’s not like I didn’t have issues, there were plenty; plenty stupid ones as well.

Sidenote: thinkpads refurbished on eBay are an insane value. Bought a t490 for under 300 bucks.

What the fuck

This kind of implies that this is the social engineering equivalent of worm-like malware in Cybersecurity.

That’s curious.

That’s one way to waste 9 million on a useless campaign

Anyone who has a family member that’s deep into conspiracy theories, you know that it’s impossible to “de-conspiracy” someone through arguments. People do not change their minds in a debate. The best you can do is show them a new perspective.

There’s a lot of words and they mean different things to different people.

What is “free”?

If all speech is free from consequences, that’s something the law cannot regulate. If someone kicks you in the face for calling him a bitch, the law can only punish him retroactively but it can’t unkick your face. If all speech is free from legal consequences, that also wouldn’t be great. Saying “I will kill you tomorrow unless you pay me”, that’s a crime committed by language. Ofc if you have a weapon the chance that you mean it increases but regardless, we shouldn’t let people do this. And in the same way you could allege someone is a murderer. And that might not be true. That’s defamation and we shouldn’t let people say that if it’s not true. And there’s a bunch of less impactful speech based crimes. So we can agree some speech should be pursued legally.

But on the other hand, we don’t want censorship. We don’t want a company to censor us when we give our opinions on them, we do wanna comment freely if a politician is a rapist, and we definitely wanna freely talk about the US government being a corrupt piece of shit currently. There’s some things the government should actively shield. In fact, sometimes it’s so important, even if we are restricted by contract about what we can say we should be allowed to talk about it if the bigger purpose is worth it. We call that one “whistleblowing”.

So it’s a threshold in both directions. When should the government protect speech, when should it ignore speech and when should it punish speech? It’s complex.

Side node: free speech in the American sense kind of just means you can say stuff and the government decides afterwards if that’s legal or worthy of special protection. Which incidentally is basically what most other countries do iirc.

So yeah, “free” is just the framing of it, we deal with speech very similarly in most countries. Of course some are fascist, some just stricter, some more relaxed.

Saying hate speech is free speech to me is one way to frame it. But to me it doesn’t change how we do or how we should look at it legally. Let them speak, and if there’s a law against it, we react. And technically that means anyone can say anything. And also very technically that’s free speech for all speech. And I really do not care about it, because I don’t look at technicalities, I look at statistics or examples, and with that I think we’re doing ok on the average. Of course trump’s cabinet is really stretching that to its breaking point but for now they haven’t gotten there yet.

After installing tailscale with my Headscale server, I just left it as is. Maybe people in the comments can chime in but if you expose only your VPN server or broker (Headscale), you kinda narrowed down your attack vectors and a VPN itself is really solid. From my basic knowledge, it’s the server and client which are the bottleneck at that point, but there’s only so much you can do and if you continuously update both and maybe stay on stable / ltsc branches, you kinda did everything.

I guess there’s something to say about the encryption algorithms used. What I remember from back in the day is everything elliptic curves that’s common is quite good so if you see “ECDSA” / “ECDH” you should be fine. RSA unfortunately is not that great anymore.

I forgot to mention that one because I kinda thought it belongs with radmin and hamachi, but it’s my choice as well currently.

I am using it with my own Headscale though, so add a domain to that as well.

And I finally need to switch my vaultwarden to work over tailscale & LAN finally, it’s a huge security risk to expose that one.

I added a reference to your comment

yeah I forgot that one. I had to rush the comment a bit.

That’s the whole point of a domain. Your IP changes every now and again you need people to know where to reach you. You give them a domain, and you configure the name records so that the domain always points to the right IP address.

Your options:

• dynamic IP - you keep your setup as is and just periodically tell them the new IP you’re on. Annoying and exposed
• static IP - you buy a static IP (from your ISP) and share it with your friends once. A little bit less annoying and still exposed
• you use a VPN like hamachi or radmin - your friends install the software, they look for you IP in there, you’re done - very secure but also very annoying
• you buy a domain - you have to configure an IP updater like ddclient or similar, then you jellyfin should be reachable - least annoying for your friends but also slightly less secure

Domain is the cleanest option.

I am telling you how annoying it is because that’s how likely your friends are to adopt it and how secure it is because depending on your country you are doing something illegal and you really don’t want anyone to find out and you gotta keep it updated more often if you don’t want people to exploit it. There’s an endless supply of very smart people out there who use known bugs to target public services.

Edit: I forgot DDNS, see below comments.
