  • What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?

    Jump

  • All of my public facing sites are behind a reverse proxy. I use Nginx Proxy Manager it runs from docker and has an easy webgui. It takes care of things like https certificates and stuff to.

  • Port Fowarding minecraft server hardening question (gentoo)

    Jump

  • Use wg-easy has a dead simple web ui then just send your friends a link to wireguard downloads page and a copy of the their .conf file it has an import button.

    I just tell them its the app you need to connect to my network. True enough and I've never had anyone have much issues.

  • Should I use a rolling distro?

    Jump

  • Are you saying that it does work with open suse tumbleweed with the stock kernel?

    I havent run opensuse much as a server but am always looking at it and Arch.

    Probably going to switch to Arch eventually because the arch wiki is just the best docs I've found.

    If you're not relying on say a closed source driver that needs to compile for each kernel update you should have no issues there.

    If you set up btrfs snapshots to run on updates then you could always just roll back if there's a bad one. That's how my arch laptop is set up.

    Personally wouldn't use Debian testing over arch or tumbleweed though. I think there's something to be said for being on the same packages as the maintaners and not a testing version.

  • Handy temperature conversion scale.

    Jump

  • I do actually wish I could have a decimal place on my truck thermostat. 20 is always too cold and 21 too hot in the winter. And if I change it to F for the increased resolution it'll change my speedo to miles and shit. Damn future.

  • Are EVs in cold countries still more energy-efficient than gasoline in the winter?

    Jump

  • Yeah I don't know a ton about EV's because I need to be able to drive 500km+ on a tank for work and life out here. Be kinda cool to have one as a work truck someday though be handy to have that much power available for running things.

  • Are EVs in cold countries still more energy-efficient than gasoline in the winter?

    Jump

  • Gasoline works better in cold climates than diesel. But once you get around -20 to -30°C and colder all vehicles will need an engine block heater to start reliably. The oil gets too thick.

    And the batteries start to freeze if they have a slight drain. So lots of the time if you don't run your vehicle for a week or two you'll need a new battery because the lead acids freeze and are ruined when their voltage drops.

    I think it will be tricky but not impossible to mitigate the effects of extreme cold on battery life. All the cabin heat is made by the EV battery anyways right?

  • AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants

    Jump

  • I dunno it doesn't really say does it? I kinda just skimmed it they could be fairly low level out of college type jobs.

    Jump

  • You might if it was a lower level position and you had like helped run your team or something like that. Or maybe university sports. I had hockey team and my high school band on my resume until I had real experience. Talk up things like working with a team and our fundraising stuff. Proves you probably aren't a complete antisocial weirdo at the least.

  • if it's fun it's illegal

    Jump

  • It isn't mostly used by minorities it is mostly used to target minorities. Though people in poorer conditions tend to have worse trouble with addiction due to lack of safety nets and people who are on the streets more are going to get busted more. Like no one is going to bust me if my buddy brings over an 8ball of coke and we snort it all up in the basement.

    And I remember the quote its from Nixon's aid. But I remember trying to verify it once and not finding anything conclusive.

    I remember my eritrean friend telling me the cops here used to to stop his car and do body searches on them and everything I mean he was dealing crack and had guns but they had no probable cause for the searches it was definitely just because he was black. They would never do that to me because they don't want to and they know I'd be calling a lawyer. I've definitely driven around with more drugs than he had on him and wasn't even a little worried because I was following traffic laws in a decent car.

    Also had a white friend who put himself through college running coke from the big city up to ours. He had a newish little Hyundai never once got stopped or hassled at all.

  • if it's fun it's illegal

    Jump

  • Well there's some theories that they really started pushing the drug war as a way to criminalize minorities and political groups like socialists and antiwar protesters. Also probably alcohol companies push it now. Like they changed the name from cannabis to marijuana to make it sound more foreign. And the CIA helped start the crack epidemic.

    I've also heard that lumber companies wanted to shut down hemp stuff too.

    But cannabis is legal in Canada now at least and I think well see psychedelics legalized here eventually.

  • if it's fun it's illegal

    Jump

  • Alcohols the default legal one because people can brew it in any jug with some yeast and sugar. If it were invented today it wouldn't have been legalized. And the attempts to prohibit it went very poorly and of course show us why all prohibitions like that do is funnel money to criminals and poison people.

  • Pope Francis: I don’t bless a ‘homosexual marriage.’ I bless two people who love each other.

    Jump

  • Well spirituality will never go away but we can still try to shape our society in such a way that keeps institutions like the church from gaining massive power.

  • Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test

  • Heh here's one for people. In my province at least the best way to get cheap 24/7 fuel in every corner even the podunkest no stoplights villages is to get a free membership with the local fuel co-op (UFA here)

    I regularly save 2-10 cents a litre and have 24/7 access and even shitters and showers in most locations all for no extra money or work on my end other than the initial sign up.

  • Pornhub blocks North Carolina and Montana as porn regulation spreads

    Jump

  • Say I rent a server in Canada and let all my friends connect to it. Then they use that server to watch porn. How would the Montana Jack-Off Police ever know that people from Montana are watching porn? All they would see is that a bunch of people from Montana are remotely connected to Canada. Maybe that's where my office is or were all just doing a remote LAN party.

  • Pornhub blocks North Carolina and Montana as porn regulation spreads

    Jump

  • VPN can't really be made illegal its required for business to function.

    And you'd get the ISPs to ban pornhubs IPs not the other way around.

    Pornhub is banning these states as protest to get attention.

    Its dumb as shit of course since pornhub for all its faults is like the least shady porn site so it'll just push people who aren't tech savvy to shadier sites with more non consensual and stolen content and shitty popups

  • Eh, we have ice roads across lakes in the winter time for heavy hauling and everyone drives their vehicles out to go ice fishing and shit. I'd be more concerned that buddy just didn't known where the runway was lol.

  • Swiss cocaine so cheap and widely used they’re considering legalising it

    Jump

  • Nonsense. Alcohol is a carcinogen, every part of your body it touches has an increased risk of developing cancer. It is directly neurotoxic. It damages the liver and stomache. A bottle of it can kill you. Stopping taking it can kill you.

    Weed taken orally is physically very safe. It can still be habit forming and there are other unwanted side effects but to act like it is physically comaparable to alcohol is silly.

    I say there's no safe amount of cocaine because it is directly cardiotoxic and has been known to cause heart defects in healthy young men at moderate doses.

    I don't think ant drug should be illegal I just think people should be aware of the dangers of substances so they can make an informed decision.

  • Swiss cocaine so cheap and widely used they’re considering legalising it

    Jump

  • Yeah there is no safe amount of cocaine to do. There is also no safe amount of alcohol to do. At least if shit is legalised people can decide to use cocaine or not with informed consent and can be sure they are actually getting pure cocaine.

    I had a friends cousin die from using cocaine but it was because they had bought it off a street dealer and it was tainted with fentanyl. They just wanted to have a little extra fun on a night out on vacation. They'd be alive and well if cocaine was legal.

    Prohibition doesn't work. It just adds suffering and stigma to addiction. One of the biggest factors to addiction is isolation something that criminalizing health issues greatly contributes to.
