  • Here’s a horrifying thought: JD’s Silicon Valley puppetmasters wait until Trump has served just over 2 years into his term, then invoke the 25th and install JD. In the meantime, the MAGA types work the system to ensure they can guarantee a Vance victory through whatever means necessary for the next 2 cycles (since his first abbreviated session won’t count as an official term), or a total of 10 years, before most Americans even realize we have sleepwalked into a Vance dictatorship funded by and primarily benefiting oligarchs like Musk and Thiel
















  • It’s a described feature of a paid service though, so it goes a bit beyond just being nice. More importantly for me, the app also leaks memory insanely, at least in the latest Debian build. I spun up a Windows vm with ProtonVPN because the Linux experience (which, again, I pay for) was too frustrating


  • The answer is easy, but to get to it, a little bit of a thought experiment is probably helpful. I say, look to how we define our own left and right sides for guidance. When facing forward, our left hand is on the left side of our body, and the right hand is on the right side of the body. Perspective doesn’t matter, and there is no ambiguity.

    Now we need to extend this to the bed. A bed has a head, just like a person does. So where would its face be? It seems clear to me, unless you are sleeping on a dead mattress, that the face is clearly going to be looking upwards at the ceiling at the head of the bed. So the left side of the bed, if you are standing at the foot of the bed looking at it, would be on your right. Just like the left side of your friend, when you are standing in front of them and looking at them, is on your right.

    Now if you just imagine the mattress to be perfectly spherical and in a frictionless environment…

    (Obviously just having fun with this answer, but it’s also the right answer)


  • I see what you mean, thank you for sharing, I could make this a bash script and that is one of the changes I’d want to make to make it more user friendly for sure. For now it was mostly notes I made and felt like sharing in case it was helpful, but cleaning it up with file edits and even a menu to drop in the compose files and a screen for optional external storage integration would be a good idea


  • Maybe, I’m a bajillion years old and have a knack for choosing poorly, but it’s in the documentation still and works really well on Debian boxes for homelab services so I’ve been having fun with it. It also brought me into the world of Proxmox and LXC containers as the very next step on my learning journey. So, it can’t be all bad, right? :)

    Regardless, setting up a single Docker node is the same as setting up a cluster in terms if the initial steps, you just leave out the swarmy bits.
