From the top levels it’s because they want all their business friends to be able to make money hand-over-fist. If you didn’t go to the same ivy leagues or country clubs as this group, you are basically not a person to them.

And for everyone else toward the ground who vote for these people, it’s because they’re incredibly stupid and don’t understand things. You will never, ever persuade them with arguments, facts, reason, or logic. It’s pure gut-check layered on from decades of pure propaganda that tells them if their lives are worse off now, it’s because of those <fill in the minority> taking their jobs, or <fill in the foreigner> who hates their ‘freedom,’ or <fill in the grassroots activist> who is coming in to try and push for laws that only make the cost of their goods rise.

Codeberg is one of the best websites on the Internet right now. This blog update of theirs doubly confirms it for me.

In carrot vs stick terms, this is the most unfortunate fellow: he who can’t avoid the stick.

I enjoyed a lot of the discussion in the comments

heartwarming: We are all in it together! Stupid reactionary content is an international phenomenon. The influencers people can truly cross borders to share insipid, uninformed commentary to their peers.

This whole thing is extremely cringe. There isn’t any other way to put it. Trump. His executive order. The compliance. It’s all cringe.

Ugh. I’m completely convinced computer technology peaked 8 years ago and every further step has been descent to hell.

The shit that goes on today even makes me regret having studied computer science

You’ve heard it several times, now, but once again: Asahi works really well for what it is, but it’s definitely a compromised experience. For example, on my M1 Macbook Air I cannot plug in a USB-C dongle and then plug in an external monitor. The driver support just isn’t there. I think if I had an Macbook Pro with a built-in HDMI port I would be able to use that… but alas, I do not.

If you want to use macOS and then use Linux on the side now and again in a dual boot setup, sure. If you want to use 100% Linux on your computer… there are better supported options.

Here is a table of supported features but it isn’t really the full picture, because it doesn’t give you a clear view of things like putting the computer on standby consumes more idle power than it does with macOS, or drivers for hardware video decoding don’t exist, so all video is software decoded. The processors can do it really well, actually, but obviously it’s more power-efficient when it’s done by dedicated hardware.

beginning to think that i should write a bot to automate job applications to ai companies and send dozens a day

my heart melted at the simplicity of this truth!

counterpoint: stonewalling c programmers are so annoying.

Is my understanding correct? Traefik itself isn’t a traditional web server. The primary thing I host is my blog, so I would need another web server to serve that content.

Caddy operates on the principle of sensible defaults. These defaults can be optionally configured further if you desire, but from what I’ve read Caddy just shifts the defaults to good modern options when it’s ready to do so on newer releases.

But if you must override these choices or need to maintain compatibility with some other software, you can define them explicitly. Here’s how you’d forcibly enable or disable http2/3 https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/options#protocols, for example.

I should look into that to see if I can restrict Vaultwarden, since I VPN into my home network anyway.

By reputation I know that Nginx proxy manager seems to work great if you’re on the “happy path” but if you need anything out of the norm it supposedly is less great to use. In my case I do have a few quirks, primarily with fcgiwrap. But I can’t say how it’d play, because I honestly never heard of NPM until yesterday when I was refreshing myself on web servers (and went with Caddy).

Joe Biden “saw” 40 beheaded babies.

I’m betting high odds he will force the federal government to buy them under the guise of a green EV transition. With trump’s full blessing, of course.

i’m at 1200000% zoom and i can’t see it!?

liberal hegemony of the last several decades fraying. but the line must go up, of course.

Seeing porn/nudity is seemingly quite common but this… this is just different enough that I felt uneasy after reading it.
