Geriatric rape ape is a sweet name for a punk band that only plays shows at retirement homes

This isn’t the first time he’s shared pics of him as Jesus. They didn’t care then and they won’t care now

There’s value to be had in industry experts advising governments. Think about your old ass representative regulating the internet without any advice from people who have actually used the internet. The problem is not that the government converses with industry, it’s that lobbyists bribe politicians under false pretenses. Outlaw the exchange of money, not ideas.

There’s petabytes of free porn on the internet and yet tons of weirdos pay for subscriptions to porn sites. Such is life

It’s a reasonable distinction in theory but the two should be clearly labeled for what they are. You’re absolutely right that they intentionally don’t do that.

That only applies to specific opinion shows like Tucker Carlson’s. They have actual news segments that do have requirements to report factual information

If we can only comprehend war in economic terms then we have already lost everything that makes a society worth preserving.

Maybe. Either way it’s an insane thing for the POTUS to say. The best case scenario is that he’s so full of shit that he makes other insane politicians seem tame by comparison. That’s not a good place for the US or the world to be, to say nothing of any other possible scenarios.

“The bombings will continue until peace is achieved” is an actual quote from Trump

Dan said he’s looking for a gf. I’m sure Will is nice but he’s not invited

That might matter if we had any intention of prosecuting him for those crimes. It should be pretty obvious by now that we don’t do that around here.

I don’t. I hope they ship his body to every city in America like they do with ancient Egyptian kings, except instead of learning about history we take turns pissing in his mouth

Run a progressive woman like AOC and if she loses I’ll concede it’s misogyny. Until then I’m putting the blame on the shitty platforms these centrist women keep running on.

You don’t have to appeal to financial incentives to say that these are good programs. In fact, I would say that our tendency to frame situations in that manner is a huge part of why we are a society with an empathy problem. You should just say that providing these services to people is a moral imperative. If someone disagrees with that then you know right off the bat that they suck and you shouldn’t waste more time talking with them.

That’s overly dramatic phrasing and you know it. Adding this kind of hyper technical quip to a thread aimed at beginners is insane. Stop doing that.

Look into docker containers in general. If I was going to start from scratch in your position this is what I’d do:

Install a Linux distribution on the computer you plan to use for self hosting. I found Debian with the KDE plasma desktop environment to be pretty familiar coming from Windows. You could technically do most of this on Windows but imo self hosting is pretty much the only thing that a casual user would find better supported through Linux than Windows. The tools are made for people who want to do things themselves and those kinds of people tend to use Linux.

Once you have a Linux distribution installed, get docker set up. Once docker is set up, install portainer as your first docker container. The steps above require some command line work, which may or may not be intimidating for you, but once you have portainer functional you will have a GUI for docker that is easier to use than CLI for most people.

From this point you can find the docker installation instructions for any service you want to run. Docker containers have all the required dependencies of a given service packaged together nicely so deploying new services is super easy once you get the hang of it. You basically just have to define where the container should store it’s data and what web port you want to access the service on. The rest is preconfigured for you by the people who created the container.

There’s certainly more to be said on this topic, some of which you would likely want to look into before you deploy something your whole family will be using (storage setup and backup capability, virtual machines to segregate services, remote accessibility, security, etc). However, the above is really all you need to get to the point where you can deploy pretty much anything you’d like on your local network. The rest is more about best practices and saving yourself headaches when something breaks than it is about functionality.

The endorsement loses quite a bit of steam when you follow it up with a statement that makes it sound like you disagree with everything he stands for though, wouldn’t you agree?

Winning in Texas is a long shot with anyone. A white Christian man is exactly the kind of person you need to run there, especially one attempting to push back against MAGAs hold on Christian voters using socialist language from the Bible and calling out Republican hypocrisy. If you want to play identity politics games just so you can end up with another Hakeem Jefferies you’re only going to lose by a wider margin. That’s the kind of shit that got us here in the first place.

If you want others to fall in line then maybe that’s what you should do instead of complaining about the candidate that won the primary. Say something positive about the only dude with a shot at winning a Senate seat in Texas

That really will be the perfect repost when he dies and MAGA inevitably tries to call out everyone celebrating as disrespectful
