There were absolutely protests under Obama. Things were bad.

There are bigger protests now under Trump. Things are worse.

Like I said, the math is pretty simple.

Please stop trying to rewrite history.

That only tells a small portion of the story. Here’s the full picture:

Obama also created DACA to protect kids without legal immigration status.

Trump has used ICE to arrest hundreds of US citizens, including government officials. Trump has expanded detention centers and instituted a brutally punitive system, including sending hundreds of people to El Salvador prison. Trump has expanded ICE to a larger force than most nations’ standing armies.

Anyone who thinks that the immigration system is better now than a decade ago must have their fingers in their ears.

Why are you pretending that liberals have not been calling for humane immigration reform for the past 40 years?

There are significantly more protests against ICE now because ICE is significantly worse. It’s basic math.

Yep, I even remember reading that people wanted the Nobel committee to rescind the prize after he launched the murder drone program.

Even Caitlyn Jenner?

TLDR That’s what happens when circles get squished together.

I never heard of this before, but it looks similarly easy to deploy. It requires Javascript instead of Python, which is the same to me although I’m sure others will have a strong preference for one or the other. Pretty nice interface though.

Genuinely curious: What advantage would you have from running it in a docker container?

In this economy, that’s the one present everyone can afford.

LOL well at least you know I’m not an AI. Fixing now.

I also had a lot of difficulty setting up NextCloud. Based on the various reviews and comments, it seems like I may have actually dodged a bullet.

In general, as I’ve tried different self-hosting solutions, I’ve found that using a dedicated solution for each purpose has given me better results. I use Radicale for contacts and Calendar, Immich for photos, Jellyfin for media (Navidrome for music is great, but I ended up keeping my music library in Jellyfin because I liked the client apps better).

I’m using OwnCloud for filesync, although I’m also testing CopyParty, which is pretty phenomenal and stupid simple.

Tailscale is GOAT. Some people have speculated that it could be subject to enshitification some day. It’s managed by a for-profit company, but everything they do is open source. There are already well-tested forks like HeadScale if you ever have the need to self-host it in the future.

NextCloud seems great if you can get it working and provides a lot of services in one. Some people have said that causes bloat and slowdown, so there are two sides to the coin.

Syncthing is likely not a good option for a file server. It’s great if you want to have a shared file or folder on multiple devices, especially if you just want to transfer files quickly and seamlessly. It’s fantastic at what it does, but it’s not a file server. There are a lot of opportunities for error when using Syncthing.

Superman cosplay contest.

Debt is a normal part of war, and Ukraine’s war debt is about a quarter of their peacetime GDP. Most of that has already been covered by the EU aid package last year.

Characterizing that as debt slavery is a pretty huge stretch.

Absolutely it is. We choose whether we live in a world where we defend freedom or where we appease bullies.

I guess for some people it’s an easier choice than for others.

I’d put anything related to HP printers directly to [email protected]

I’m very sorry to hear that. What is your family support situation look like? That’s one of the most important factors.

Literally hundreds of studies showing that if people can buy a house before they’re 40, they will have more children.

You can’t legislate your way into a higher birth rate. Even authoritarian countries have tried and failed. But you can legislate systemic changes that help people with housing, childcare, and groceries.

That’s exactly how they ended up in a situation. Putin took Crimea with basically no resistance. He just didn’t count on Zelensky. Most other leaders would have given in to the pressure and let Putin overrun Ukraine (for a nice golden parachute).

It’s unfortunate that that was not on any of the pages that I saw. I actually did look and I actually did read the terms and conditions to see if maybe that was the case.

I did let them know in my response that they should probably include that for legal reasons at the very least.

I had 11, so it’s definitely less than that.
