No offense taken. We know we’re “a third sold country in a Gucci belt”. It’s not that it started 40 years ago, but that’s when it really took off, this speedrun to transferring wealth and power to the already wealthy. They purposely cut funding to education to make an easily manipulated populace, and have been using fear propaganda relentlessly for longer.

We also learned last time Trump was elected that most of our country was held together by gentlemen’s agreements and the idea that our constitution never considered irrational people would be elected.

Our system is broken, and the ones with the power to do anything about it have no interest in doing so.

I honestly don’t know how we recover from this. Stopping Trump is a bandaid. Rooting out the cancer… 🤷🏼‍♂️

We learned that last time Trump was president that most of our country has been run on gentlemen’s agreements. It was news to a lot of us as well.

Same. I don’t honestly know how we recover as a country. Trump isn’t the cause, he’s a symptom. A tumour with a much larger cancerous problem underneath. At no point will the sane (and actual majority of us) roll over and become fascists. But at the same time, I don’t see how the third of the country that has gone full fascist suddenly regains their sanity and joins us.

The USSR’s goal was to divide us, and the Cold War never ended, it just went underground. There is a large part of me that is afraid at this point Balkanization is our future. But how we would we even get there without causing death and destruction?

But regardless of sentiments about losing faith in us (and I don’t blame those that feel that way, they are warranted) I do love you all who recognize that not all of us are the insane ones that make it on TV. We do still value our brothers/sisters/enbys to the north and are proud that we have a friendship unparalleled and the world’s longest undefended border. The world is a often a dark and scary place, but it’s friendships like these that make it worthwhile.

I appreciate you internet stranger.

You guys are the best. I’m just south of you in the PNW and want us to always have each other’s backs.

Yup. The Democratic party is the Republican party of 40 years ago. The Republicans are obviously now literal nazis, fascists, kkk, the worst of the worst. That’s all we have and they have no interest in changing that.

Many of us like Sanders because he is a vocal option that is at least left of the status quo. But there are also so many of us that want European left policies. We just can’t get it to happen in a winner takes all style of representation. And capitalism.

Can some of us, uh, join you though?

Yeah, I’m more or less just using NC for a cloud storage with WebDAV. I don’t really need all the other bits. So if NC were modular in that you could install or not the core pieces, that would be great.

Yeah, that was my first thought that he really hadn’t because unless he micro-microdosed or just said he did to be “cool”, which is on brand for him, there’s no way he did hallucinogins and still came out the other side like that.

Yeah, I love NC but boy is it a pain. If there were a similar but less bulky, less clunky option that wasn’t a pain to maintain, I’d be all over that.

I read about Tailscale securing funding and also was scared enshitification would ensue. I really hope their promise to keep non-enterprise as it is and not claw it back is true. I am way too relient on that now 🫤

Yup, Sargent at Arms of both the House and Senate, as well as the United States Capitol Police.

That’s not quite right. US Marshals are literally an agency of the Dept of Justice and part of the executive. The judicial branch is the only one of the three without any law enforcement.

That said, in normal times Marshals are tasked with protecting the judicial, and being the judicial law enforcement, but that comes from the executive.

It’s openid so it should work. Though their web finger validation wasn’t quite straightforward when I did it.

I just got Authentik set up as my first SSO. Has anyone tried this?

This would just be a way for you to see what qbittorent is doing from your phone. In qbit you’d turn on a few settings and then point this app to what you just turned on, and then see what’s downloading from your phone.

The app isn’t doing anything beyond taking interpreting what your other programs (e.g., qbit, sonarr, radarr, etc) are doing while you’re away. Depending on the program you could also tell it to download something, but that’s all still happening on your laptop. Your phone is just the middle man.

What do you mean? The nzb360 app is just a front end for services you have running on a server somewhere. Are you asking how to run the backend part discreetly?

And yet they’re all convinced that red states are the ones that keep the blue states afloat.

But it worked so well in the 90s! Any year now it’s bound to pay off!

😭

DNC: “No.”
