Hear hear!

Couldn’t agree more. Consistency and predictably; I wish more people would think - and drive - like that.

I do not, but I sleep soundly knowing there are people that do, and that FOSS lets them do it. I will read code on occasion, if I’m curious about technical solutions or whatnot, but that hardly qualifies as auditing.

I do +5, just below fine limit. Haven’t had one in years.

Situational awareness is key.

10 over on left lane (right for UK) while the other one is free? You’re the entitled speed police asshole. He’s the dumb tailgating idiot.

10 over the other way around? You’re doing nothing wrong. He’s still the dumb tailgating idiot.

I don’t condone assholery on the road, but it’s still my license and my fine if I’m speeding up for a tailgater. So if the right lane has slow traffic and I’m overtaking on the left, I’ll stick to whatever speed on or above the limit that I consider safe. Unless the tailgater has blue lights flashing, I’m not obliged to do a damn thing.

Time to engage cruise control on exactly the speed limit.

Incoming lawsuit in 5…4…

Reminds me of that great classic:

• Table for 26?

• But… You’re with 13 people.

• Yes, but we like to sit on the same side of the table.

This. If anything, you helped both of them get out of a relationship with no future.

I call them the “far dumb”. They borrow idiotic propaganda from both left and right. Like: the foreigners are to blame for the state of the country, we’ll kick them out and nationalise the industry and split the profits with everyone. Except for the lazy bums in public administration, which we’re going to fire en masse.

No, ZeroGravitas is just my modest tribute to Iain M. Banks.

And fuck no, they’re appalled by the rise of braindead populism. We have a saying in our business: for every complex problem there’s a solution that’s simple, easy to understand and completely wrong. Can’t remember whose quote that is, but it perfectly captures the populist propaganda.

Came here to say this, the similarities to Erdogan’s voters are striking.

In addition, this is a protest vote, very much against something seen by many Romanians as an unholy alliance between a classical liberal party (on paper) and the spiritual descendants of the old communist party. At least that’s what my Romanian friends are telling me.

This is the keg, and Simion’s brand of nationalistic populism is the powder.

Are you owning libs, son?

Friendly reminder that there are open source password managers out there, and if there’s anything I’d rather not entrust to a corporattion, my passwords are at least in the top 5.

Lots of dynamic DNS providers allow you to register a aubdomain and update the IP it points to with an API call. You can use something like this tool for it: https://github.com/lopsided98/dnsupdate - just run it on a schedule on the same machine and you’re golden.

There are also Docker container based solutions if you’d rather go that route. Once you have a stable entry point, you can decide what to do with it.

I would personally get a Raspberry Pi and run Wireguard and Dnsupdater on it, use port forwarding in the router for Wireguard and close down everything else. Then share the Wireguard connection details with your friends and family. You can even set it up so that Wireguard connections are only granted access to your Jellyfin server, plenty of tutorials out there on how to configure firewall rules on the Wireguard machine.

WHATEVER DO YOU MEAN, SIR! I AM OUTRAGED BY THE SHEER IMPLICATION! HE WOULD NEVER!
