Jellyfin isn’t running in a docker container, so it’s working fine. I’ve just noticed that everything I am running in a container doesn’t have network access, unless I change network mode to host in that container’s compose yml. So I guess docker’s network bridge isn’t configured correctly? Which makes sense, as I have basically no idea what I’m doing lmao. So until I figure out what’s going on there, I think I’ll just let my JF server run as is. I’d prefer it in a container I think, but not before I figure out what exactly I broke.

Bearing that in mind, I now have a new problem, which is that apparently none of my containers actually have internet access? I hadn’t noticed because I mostly just run local media servers, and I tend to clean up all the metadata before I upload anything (i.e. I usually clean up my ebooks in Calibre before I send them to BookLore, so I’ve never had to actually use BookLore to fetch anything from the web).

Only way I was able to get internet access in any of my containers was adding

network_mode: "host"

to the docker-compose.yml files, which, if I’m understanding correctly, negates the point of isolating network services, no? So something is broken somewhere but I have no idea what it is or how to fix it, so I guess my JF server is staying on bare metal for now lol

Ngl, I used an ansible playbook one time and I felt like a fourth grader trying to perform open heart surgery. Again, I am just so very very new and dumb lmao

Lol fair enough. My husband is the same, though not dyslexic. I can def imagine dyslexia would make it difficult though.

Random, but if you use gesture typing in heliboard, they’re trying to build their own open-source gesture library. You can help build it (and maybe improve the autocorrect to a degree). I think you go to settings, and there’s a tab for “gesture data gathering”.

Went to one in Sacramento with a couple of friends. I’d bet there were about 5k-10k when we were there. Good vibes all around. Few other friends went to one in Los Angeles, looked like that one had a lot of attendees too.

To the naysayers: even if this accomplishes nothing in the most literal sense, hope is the basis of progress, and hope dwindles very quickly when you feel like you’re standing alone and shouting into the void. Gathering with so many other people who likewise understand how fucked everything is and how desperately we need to make big changes can go a long way to recharging that hope battery.

Fair point. But there did used to be three branches that checked one another. The reason DJT can effectively do whatever he wants through the DOJ is because those checks and balances are no longer in place. If Biden had tried to do with DOJ what Trump has done (which I still would argue that he absolutely should not have), the USSC would have had something to say about it—similar to how they checked him when he (with Sec of Ed) attempted to forgive roughly half a trillion dollars of student debt.

To be clear, I’m not saying Biden (or his executive branch or the 117th congress or the USSC) was effective or… idk, good? They absolutely weren’t. I’m saying that for Biden to weaponize various departments and agencies (even for the arguable benefit of Americans), he’d have had to have engaged in the same slide into authoritarianism that Trump has.

He didn’t “sit on the files”. They were under DOJ’s purview, because there used to be three separate branches of government that checked and balanced one another. I’m not saying the DOJ under Biden didn’t absolutely drop the ball, because they did. I’m just saying that Trump’s weaponizing of the DOJ is antithetical not to “decorum”, but to democracy. Biden doing it first would have constituted executive overreach just as much as Trump doing it now.

You’re not being realistic. There is no “working class vs ruling class” when a portion of the working class doesn’t see the rest as human. It’s not just that we sane Americans are unwilling to side with Nazis to take down billionaires (though certainly that is true); it’s also that someone who calls me a removed is never going to stand and fight next to my black ass. The only way you get the entire working class to engage is if they are willing to stand with us, and that’s not gonna happen by us welcoming Nazis into the fold, it’ll happen when they, ya know, stop being Nazis. Even if what you’re saying is possible, you’re preaching to the wrong side.

So your argument is “why didn’t Biden become a dictator first”?

“Slandering police” lmaooooo

Everyone with a brain knew what you meant, don’t worry.

Still waiting on the tragic romance version of Mulan, where they don’t get together at the end because falling in love with boy-Mulan helped Shang finally come to terms with being gay.

I’d also take the version where he ends up with Mulan’s horny grandma instead. Either or.

Do you mean that the issue is the fact that they’re brothers or that it’s been printed in a newspaper with their faces on? Because if they’re two consenting adults, they cannot reproduce with one another, and they didn’t grow up as siblings, then I too am struggling to see what the issue is, considering that the usual incest-related issues (inbreeding and consent/coercion issues born of familial bonds/hierarchies) are addressed. Seems the only remaining issue is that it’s been publicized, meaning they’re liable to get shit on by the people for the rest of their lives for something they weren’t aware of, had no control over, and hurts no one.

Do they not advertise in Brazil? Cuz if y’all can go a day without seeing an ad of a floating laptop doing pirouettes in an endless white void to an overproduced pop song masquerading as indie, I might be down to move.

Nah I don’t buy it. Ain’t no way this mf is 6’4".

If this is a genuine question, then my answer would be: a whole bunch of stuff I was taught that wasn’t actually true.

The way American history was presented to me (and I assume lots of other Americans) in school was the rosiest tinted glasses version of our history that could possibly be constructed. We spent a whole lot more time talking about “breaking bread” with the native Americans rather than slaughtering them, and focused more on our early economic growth rather than the slaves on whose backs it was earned. Our involvement in various wars was characterized as “aid” or “ally-ship”, or even stepping in as the “savior” who made sure the good guys won. Our sociopolitical progress (women’s suffrage, the Civil Rights movement, etc) was framed as the goodhearted majority fighting against a smaller group of hateful bad actors, who all sort of magically disappeared whenever progressive legislation won out.

Simply put, it’s revisionist history designed to retroactively affirm all the “land of the free, home of the brave” shit, when in reality this is a nation whose economy was built on the backs of slaves from all over the world, and whose sociopolitical ideology has always been steered by a small group of cruel and cowardly men who want endless personal power and wealth, to the direct detriment of their fellow country-folk.

There are things I’m genuinely proud of. Like all those who came before me who made it possible for me to vote/get an education/walk down the street while black, female, and queer. There are great American artists, academics, inventors—all sorts of people who’ve made meaningful contributions to the world. Like any other people, we are not all the worst of us.

But holy shit the worst of us are SO worst. And they’re so loud, and they’re so rich, and they’ve stolen so many of our resources, and they’re doing so much fucking damage to practically everyone on earth, not to mention to the earth itself. And they’ve controlled the narrative for a very long time, have taught us (sold us) so much bullshit for so long that a lot of the things the average American is proud of are almost entirely fictional.

It’s… disheartening.

D you think they’ll stay that way?

Until we get robot cats. Or robot squirrels. Maybe a well-placed Furby.

I think the real problem is that you don’t seem to realize/care how gross and rapey you sound. That’s… maybe something to work on.
