That’s called vertical integration.

The difference is Rowling hates you for who you are, Moore hates you for what you’ve done.

And he has the records.

It was called Dodgem Logic, and it was glorious. It ran for 8 issues, was filled with articles written by Moore and others on whatever damn subject they wanted, from supernatural to philosophical, to just plain weird (a comic called Astounding Weird Penises). There were also short stories and illustrations. I have every issue and they have a place of pride in my collection for how wonderful they are.

I wear shorts for most of the year. Using a urinal while wearing shorts, you realise how much piss splashes everywhere. Really not hygienic.

Don’t forget laziness.

With that caveat that those preconceived notions were instilled by decades of right wing press that has propped up that same self serving troglodyte.

I’ll say it again, because I think the idea is a practical solution to the issue: electricity and water usage should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive it becomes.

This would actually incentivise companies to reduce their usage, to question if they actually need that new AI data centre that will eat up all the gains in renewable electricity production and require fossil fuel plants to continue running, it’ll reduce the crypto miners as well, and encourage everyone to try to reduce their usage.

The knock on effect of this is that electricity actually becomes cheaper for everyone.

I use swag, which is a pre-configured nginx with hundreds of sample configs for a lot of docker apps. It also has certproxy installed for letsencrypt and some added security. Worth looking at, imho.

I was just thinking electricity should be charged at reverse volume, the more you use, the more expensive each Gw is. It’ll never happen, but if we wanted to tackle this issue, it’s what we should do.

I’ve been using Manjaro with Cinnamon for about a month now. It works great on an old Lenovo with 12gb ram. Probably going to stick with it when I build my desktop.

She’s a perfect Rio Morales, just saying.

Thanks very much for your advice. I’ve reworked my CV using Open Resume and updated it on all the job boards I’ve been using, hopefully that gets me further.

I’m also continuing to update my portfolio website and building out apps in different languages and frameworks to demonstrate my skills.

It just looks like the job market sucks at the mo and I just need to keep trudging through.

Thanks again.

Deleted my Plex account as soon as I got this email, using the account link in said email, so hopefully they see the connection.

DNSNet, it’s a FOSS app on F-Droid, works on pretty much all apps, as it acts like a vpn but runs entirely locally.

It’s been nice being on GrapheneOS for the last couple of months. Nothing trying to listen to me, or be helpful in obtrusive ways, just a phone being a phone.

From a cursory look, as I don’t know NPM, Swag doesn’t require a database itself as all config is file based, and doesn’t have any user management. Both seem to be nginx based with Fail2Ban installed, there’s probably some other differences.

What I like about Swag is that with my config checked into a git repo and an act runner set up, I can reconfigure swag on the fly, with a rollback, as it’s just a case of pushing an update to the repo and letting the runner pull changes and restart the container. It works very well for how I want things set up.

If you have a domain name setup, I’d recommend using Swag as your gateway. It’s a hardened nginx with lots of preconfigured samples that make it feel very plug and play. I got SSL with Let’s Encrypt set up in minutes. My next task is adding SSO to my setup.

If you’re using docker to run your apps, use a network with only swag on it that can connect via port 80 and 443, and put your other apps on a separate network that isn’t public, swag also there and let it do its proxy thing. Run docker rootless, each container with a separate user, secrets fully secured, all that good stuff.

Good luck. I’m also on that process. Just changing email provider is enough work with over 300 accounts using my Gmail address. Don’t give up, but be aware it’s a lot of work.

Replace the NASA website with a continuous stream of the movie Hidden Figures with a scrolling banner above it saying “Fuck off Elon”

It looks like Bender in that Tales of Interest episode where he becomes human, overindulges and dies.
