Tomorrow I might as well see a manifestation of Q and watch a bewildered Picard shout “You can’t judge all of humanity by this barbaric time!”

I’m jealous of your optimism… and in the end of Caliban’s war right now! I loved the series. I can only hope…

wow. Surprisingly awesome answer. Biff’s Casino IS America right now

A coworker showed me a quote from this guy, Steve Magness (https://www.stevemagness.com/) that sums it up really well - When we’re constantly ‘killing time’ on our phones/screens in every waking moment that our attention isn’t otherwise required, we suck up the space that was once reserved for creativity and fill it with garbage instead. We fragment our attention and rarely get lost in our thoughts or follow up on cool ideas. Creativity is dying first before it’s born because we don’t just sit and engage with our own ideas like we did once…we just scroll.

The second factor is the giant, impossibly sophisticated psychological rat’s maze the internet has become for content… we are fed much more than we truly discover, and every day 100k tons more AI shit is shoveled over real, genuine ideas… and it’s that bullshit the algorithm will serve you. You have a lot less agency and exposure online than you THINK you do… and that is by design. If you have been on the internet for more than 10 years, then you remember when that was very much not the case and feel the difference.

Hang out with local, creative people in person, ask them what they’re into. Stare out a window and think thoughts, shut your phone off and read books. The good news is that there is SO MUCH good shit in the world already that the decline of our civilization and its creative output isn’t so bad, if you just get some distance from it.

Dems prove once again that they have NO IDEA how to represent the people who voted for them… or even just like, make themselves even slightly likable.

umm, no. This is just the way I write. I get what you mean, reading over it. It’s something about tone. Sadly, here we are where any generically “cheery” writing style seems suspect.

Thats very helpful, thank you!

Yes, that’s the whole reason for the post, as I said above. When you say “docker anyway for convenience” what do you mean? What’s the benefit of docker? Do you have any resources that would let someone entirely new to docker understand/guide through it? You mention Traefik as well… never heard of it till this post… what is it? Why is it convenient?

Thanks for your comment. There are several things/products/methods you mention that I’m not familiar with and/or don’t understand:

Authentik Wall OIDC DMZ Incus Zabbly “in the compose” cap-drop all Podman quadlets

As I mentioned, I’m new here. I could just put each of these in duckduckgo in succession, but do you have a particular guide or link that describes any of this for someone less familiar with the process than yourself?

So… do you have to register the server as a domain, then set up and register it w cloudflare?

Do you mind explaining PiHole to me? I’ve heard it mentioned, not sure what it is.

He has a WIFE you know… Intercontinentia… Intercontinentia BUTTOCKS.

But if you were to stand in OfficeMax, pull out bread and meats… I’m just sayin, lets MAKE it happen
