  • Out of recommendations given here I'd ignore Arch/Manjaro, for a server you want something that you can set up and forget about and not explode when you try to update the packages after not doing so for 3 months.Kubernetes and the likes are a bit of an overkill unless you're planning to expand to having multiple machines or want a learning experience.I'd recommend docker compose or podman, you generally don't want bare bones docker as running your containers via docker run sucks ass.

  • How often does your temp/humidity sensor report? I've also got a Tuya one from Aliexpress and had to shelve it because it was spamming the sensor data 5 times a second.

  • No, AES worked

    If it worked we'd still have Soviet Union today.

    USSR did work. PRC does work as well, and is Socialist, not Capitalist. Read Socialism Developed China, Not Capitalism and Blackshirts and Reds Cuba works, Vietnam works, Laos works too.

    We seem to have different definitions of what "working" means. What I've got from the article, which glosses over the inconvenient facts (like how much of China's success can be attributed to western capitalists moving all of their manufacturing to China), is that you can do whatever the fuck you want and still call it socialism. And your fans will believe you, because they don't care to look deeper beneath the label. The party line trumps all.

    Mao didn’t “starve a bunch of people,” Mao ended famines in one of the poorest countries in the world

    So what is the Great Chinese Famine then? Another inconvenient fact in the sea of inconvenient facts that you chose to close your eyes to? Do you think that lying to yourself and everyone else about historical facts like this one gives you a moral high ground over Nazi sympathizers who deny holocaust?

  • There’s no such thing as “true socialism,” that’s part of the point of the article.

    Sure, but it provided a reason why the previous attempts of it failed, and in my opinion it's only a part of the equation.

    Why do you think Socialism cares about thinfs like self-serving people?

    Socialism can not care, as it's is not a conscious entity. Socialism can only "care" about whatever the people that are trying to implement it care about. And it failed every time in large part, IMO, because people didn't care about things like self-serving people.

    Not as gospel, sure, but they have been proven correct.

    Proven correct by whom? Soviet Union which fell apart? North Korea that haven't collapsed yet only because it's propped by China? China which had Mao starve tens of millions people to death and is currently successful only because it's full blown capitalist and "communist" in name only?

  • Thanks for linking the article. I like most of its points, but I don't agree with this materialistic outlook that the economic development is the be-all and end-all solution to implementing "true" socialism.I believe that the root cause of all attempts of it failing so far is that humans are selfish assholes. Unless everyone bar none starts caring about their brethren and sistren at least as much as they care about themselves, the system can't work. It's simply too prone to being overtaken by bad faith actors who will inevitably abuse it for self serving purposes in the name of "socialism".

    Marx and Engels were constantly hounded as “authoritarian” for advocating for central planning.

    Well maybe these two guys were a product of their time and had some not-so-good ideas, so not every word of theirs should be taken as a gospel.

  • I'm theory, yes. In practice the idea of socialism has been hijacked and subverted by the same ruling class to serve their nefarious needs time and time again. Y'all should focus instead on how socialism is incompatible with authoritarianism. "Power to the people" my ass.

  • Multiselect lists are outdated design, requiring prior knowledge of what they are and the use of keyboard (that you might not have if using a touchscreen device) for a simple interaction with a webpage is terrible UX. The issue is that it's how browsers render them by default, a 'proper' multiselect requires a bunch of css and javascript.
