The second best time to fix this was 4 years ago, when the Capitol was attacked to try to overturn a democratic election. But the USA has a big problem: nothing was done. A criminal staged a coup and failed. And nothing was done. He was allowed to go free, run for president and now he is in charge. The USA already failed years ago and now is just reaping what it allowed fascism to sow. Because nothing was ever done about it.

Or ll='ls -laFh' to have it just how I like it

In my opinion it is not about swearing, and (not) seeing it, it is about censorship. Some big sites censor content that contains words that are considered bad by advertisers, these are not only swear words but also words like die, suicide, porn… This has changed the way some people communicate, with people using euphemisms or censoring words in images themselves: people censoring themselves before the big internet site censors them.

As you wisely said: “Express yourself however you want”. The original author of the text in this post used a swear word and later it was censored by someone reposting it in social media to avoid upsetting the censorship machine or whatever website it was. I find this unacceptable.

I fully support using a rich vocabulary and not using swear words, being polite. There are many reasons to do this: respect for others, improving ones communication skills, practising formal writing… but giving in to censorship imposed by social media websites should NEVER be one. Fuck censorship. It is unacceptable to allow big tech companies to shape the way we speak with their censorship.

Express yourself however you want, if the website you’re in doesn’t allow you to do it don’t give in to censorship, give up that website and look for a place where you can express yourself.

With a bit of effort you can stream any movie directly to your TV for a few moneys a month (or free, but paying for the essential bits removes the jankiness)

Something I learned back in the day: “Never pay for warez”. Pirate all you want, the moment you are paying, pay the creator of the product you’re interested in, not someone who pirated it and wants to profit from distributing it without a licence.

Separate the fat. Make soap with it. Sell it to the rich.

What’s with the clickbait title?

This is not news, it has been happening since Smart TVs started being a thing.

One of the most common TV OSs is AndroidTV / GoogleTV. Google is the biggest ad company in the world.

Very interesting graph. It clearly shows a reduced antibiotic consumption during the corona pandemic in most countries. Probably due to the use of facemasks reducing the number of situations requiring antibiotics.

I could see it being a bit of both. Lyrics are often inspired by something and describing something else. In this case, someone stalking a former lover could be seen as “going full 1984’s Big Brother” on them… and it makes sense with the whole romantic mood that the song has: the stalker sees themself as romantic and sings it that way, but when you look closer you realise it’s actually very creepy.

Don’t look into the story behind “My Sharona” by The Knack.

Doesn’t it say “I get up and nothing gets me down”? I always thought that sentence described being motivated and not letting anyone ruin your good mood.

Do you maybe mean “Every Breath You Take” by The Police? That’s a common answer to this kind of question. A lot of people think of it as cute and romantic at first, but the song really talk about the Big Brother (from George Orwell’s 1984): a state of constant surveillance watching “every breath you take, every move you make”.

I recently set up a small home server and started trying to self host stuff. I found it pretty hard to get started. People have been very helpful on this community and other public forums, but I’m afraid it’s often not enough. They give me advice in trying this or that, doing this and avoiding that… but I still don’t understand more than half of the concepts that they use. I consider myself tech literate above the average user: I recently switched to Linux (after years on MacOS, using the command line, and even building a couple of programs from source), I also installed a custom ROM on my phone. I feel comfortable learning and doing these things… but still felt very very lost when trying to self host a few services. At the moment I settled for a local-only network where I run Jellyfin, Navidrome and Syncthing on OpenMediaVault. I’m lost with what I’d need to do to access my server from outside my local network, and terrified of doing something wrong and leaving a hole open so any hacker can access my server. I’d like to do it some day, but I’d rather have a safe local network than screw and get my data stolen or deleted.

So, in my opinion, we would need good tutorials or a MOOC to explain the basics from scratch.

I am not sure about this and cannot check myself because my server died last night :( but… I know that you can restrict certain functions for different users (log in as admin and go to Settings/Users). You could check if it’s possible to disable x265 playback for a user, then create a new user that you use exclusively to log in on that device.

Thank you! That’s exactly what I was looking for. I am familiar with Little Snitch for macOS, so this looks perfect.

For anyone interested: https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch

If you’re on windows run glass wire or OSX run little snitch. I used to know a Linux alternative for those

Would you happen to know the name of a similar tool for Linux? I was just yesterday searching myself but I couldn’t find anything

Thank you for this new tip, I think we found the problem: ports 80 and 443 are not open. After I installed nmap (which was surprisingly not present in my Raspbian installation), the output of nmap localhost reads:

Not shown: 997 closed ports
PORT    STATE SERVICE
22/tcp  open  ssh
53/tcp  open  domain
631/tcp open  ipp

I guess I did something wrong when following the tutorial (or the tutorial had some mistake, but I’d me more inclined to think the mistake was mine). I will try to clear this installation on docker and start all over again, then I will check nmap localhost again to see if it works fine then.

Thank you very much for your support. I still feel quite lost, but I finally found out why this is not working and I can repeat the steps and pay special attention… or look for a different method (someone here suggested using Nextcloud All-In-One).

Thanks for your answer. I am indeed getting no warning on my browser, just “Unable to connect” on LibreWolf and “This site can’t be reached” on Chromium. I tried the same format (https://192.168.50.30:80) with ports 80, 8080 and 443. The only difference is it was always https:// (since I think my browsers are configured to force https everywhere).

The out put of docker container ls looks like this:

I notice that the “PORTS” column is empty. I am running Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) on my Raspberry Pi, yes.

Thank you for your answer. I will look into getting a domain, but I want to try to fight with this a bit more, mainly as a learning experience. I will also look for easier projects for a beginner, like the dokuwiki you recommended.

Thanks, the tip for Nextcloud All-In-One is actually a very good one. I want to try to make my current setup work, as I said mainly as a learning experience. But I will definitely consider that option once I’m done with this experiment. I guess I will also get a domain.

Thank you for your reply. I think I will look into getting a domain, however I still want to try this, to use it as a learning experience. Try to make it work like this, then keep learning and probably switch to a domain, which seems to be the common thing.
