  • Cis people are not entitled to teachers. Trans people shouldn’t be forced into a teacher role for all trolls on the off chance they’re merely clueless. Many trans people have shared their lived experience, including in this thread, it isn’t hard to find.

    Here’s the ideal solution: person spreads their ignorance. Their ignorance is dutifully removed. Person goes on to learn why their ignorance was ignorant and maybe thinks before speaking next time.


  • My big problem is remote stuff. None of my users have aftermarket routers to easily manipulate their DNS. One has an android modem thing which is hot garbage. I’m using a combination of making their pi be their DHCP and one user is running on avahi.

    Chrome, the people’s browser of choice, really, really hates http so I’m putting them on my garbage ######.xyz domain. I had plans to one day deal with Https, just not this day. Locally I just use the domain for vaultwarden so the domain didn’t matter. But if people are going to be using it then I’ll have to get a more memorable one.

    System updates have been a faff. I’m 'ssh’ing over tailscale. When tailscale updates it kicks me out, naturally. Which interrupts the session, naturally. Which stops the update, naturally. Also, it fucks up dkpg beyond what --configure -a can repair. I’ll learn to update in background one day, or include tailscale in the unattended-upgrades. Honestly, I should put everything into unattended-upgrades.

    Locally works as intended though, so that’s nice. Everything also works for my fiancee and I remotely all as intended, which is also nice. My big project is coalescing what I’ve got into something rational. I’m on the make it good part of the “make it work > make it good” cycle.




  • Release: stable

    Keep the updates as hands off as possible. Docker compose, TTeck’s LXC updater, automatic upgrades.

    I come through once a week or so to update the stacks (dockge > stack > update), I come through once a month or so to update the machines (I have 5 total). Total time updating is 3hrs a month. I could drop that time a lot when I get around to writing some scripts to update docker images, then I’d just have to “apt update && apt upgrade”

    Minimise attack surface and outsource security. I have nothing at all open to the internet, I use Tailscale to create tunnels. I’m trusting my security to Tailscale, Pihole and my ISP’s firewall, but they are much, much better at it than I am.

    I don’t think history looks back negatively on any “I won’t support [a little] genocide” crowd, if there isn’t maybe this will be the first.

    Is there a particular “this group of common folk opposed Hitler wrongly, everything’s their fault” narrative that is common? I meant this as a rant, but I’m too ignorant and perhaps there is. Obviously, Nazis and Nazi supporters are criticised. There’s those in power that handed it off to Hitler that take some flak. But those without power and also didn’t support Hitler what criticisms do they come under

    Learning the lessons of history and who future generations are going to blame for the here and now. Is it going to be leftists that didn’t vote Nazi?


  • I use Joplin for day-to-day: to-dos, journals etc. I like Joplin, but I haven’t tried the others. I tend to be sticky with services, if something “works” I don’t go looking for better. Only when I have a specific problem I can’t solve do I branch out.

    I use bookstack for documentation on the server, faqs guides, updates etc. perhaps that works for others. The lack of android app is what moved me to Joplin.

    When is it do you believe the Marxists and Anarchists were in power? When do you believe they held the gun to be able to give it away?

    Punch up, not down.

    To put it in another reference frame. When a video game fails who’s fault is it? The millions of consumers? Or the corpo overlords? When democrats fail, is it the fault of millions of voters? Or the fault of corpo overlords? When something fails it is always the responsibility of those in power to affect the most change. Except, when it comes to politics, then we forget that it’s those with power that hold responsiblity.

    I hate predatory micro transactions and day 1 dlc. I don’t blame the people that boycotted them for the prevelence of mtx? I blame the people that demand they be sold first, then I blame the people that sell them, then I blame the people that bought them. It’s not the fault of the people that didn’t buy them. Except in politics for some reason.

    Sorry, I just got recommended a “games are shit now corpos took over, it’s the leftist’s fault games are bad”. The misattribution of blame from ‘capital interests’ to ‘leftists’ is so pervasive even the “I’m left of center” crowd are doing it. I didn’t engage there but still need the catharsis




  • Interesting timing. I was considering my own sense of guilt associated with this. I watched and was dwelling on innuendo studios South Bank of the Rubicon video. I was thinking where mine was, when I would act, what that action looked like.

    Part of me had the same reasoning, I am disabled and my qol is set on a ever increasingly downward slope. Physio is merely to slow the acceleration of the decent, as such why wouldn’t my South Bank be a little closer, action a little more drastic.

    I do have a fiancee whom I love dearly, but no kids. My social circle is very close but quite small. My job is for hobby money, it’s not a career. All of which screams why wouldn’t my South Bank be a little closer, action a little more drastic.

    I see JSO keeping corporate sponsored climate disasters in the news. I think who among them had better QOL prospects than I? Why was their bank so much closer, their actions more drastic?

    I don’t have answers, or I do and I don’t like them which is functionally the same. Just a mild sense of guilt which peaks whenever I see someone doing something.


  • You can still use a reverse proxy inside the VPN and use your own DNS server that spits out that internal address to your devices for your various applications.

    Excuse me what? Here’s my dumb ass navigating to "[device name]:[port] over tailscale.

    I’ve tried this a couple times and I’ve always failed. I could never figure out how to get a http://service.domain/ request to my Nginx install to be proxied in the first place. I tried putting pihole on tailscale and setting that as tailscale’s DNS. It blocked ads but I couldn’t navigate to custom domains. I put NPM on tailscale hoping that was the issue. I looked for LocalDNS/CNAMES in tailscale to see if I could do it that way. Do I have to set a local machine as an exit node and do split DNS shenanigans, service.domain goes through to my local and everything else the wider web? Do I set a router node?!

    Not expecting you to troubleshoot, I don’t have time to see it through anyhow. Just annoyed at myself I couldn’t figure it out and driven to try again.


  • I try keep my ID10T errors between an LLM and myself now. I diligently follow all of it’s first steps that I know won’t work. Excuse me, what do you mean check pihole is installed? Of course its, oh it errored and didn’t install. New chat copy-paste error.

    Happened today actually. apt didn’t have access to the internet because the pi’s DNS was set to 100.100.100.100. GPT didn’t figure that out, it did politely ask me whether lighttpd.conf not existing was because pihole didn’t exist after I just, ahem, installed it.
