Singling out a problem that exists in a country I am very familiar with is a non problem. I didn’t state it was special to America. I didn’t speak on any other nation and their hatred of minorities. I didn’t even state anything about it being part of “human nature.”

I spoke on being familiar with the fact that it is a problem in America.

When I say America I mean the people of America. There are large numbers of folks, regardless of why they do, hate minorities.

I didn’t say the wealthy “elite” weren’t the cause of a lot of the divide. They absolutely are. No such thing as an ethical billionaire.

I’m not disagreeing with you on the fact that your financial status isn’t what really separates us. What I am saying is there is still too much hate towards minorities. That doesn’t change that the wealthy are a problem.

You’re taking two separate ideas and merging them into one “truth.”

They ate two separate topics. Just because the wealthy are guilty of the bad they are doing doesn’t take away the fact that there is too much hate towards minorities in America from the people that live here.

I didn’t imply that. Stating that there is too much hatred of minorities doesn’t mean that America fails at everything. That is a stretch. Me pointing out that America has a lot of hatred towards minorities isn’t a reflection of everything America does as a whole is inherently bad.

I didn’t say that America can’t have a good influence on another country. America isn’t one to look to especially now for how minorities are treated.

I didn’t compare to any place. I just stated America is filled with hatred towards minorities.

I didn’t say there were no positives from America did I? I didn’t rank where America stands in how progressive or conservative America is.

I said America is full of hatred towards Minorities with no comparison to another place.

I am not wrong. There is too much of it.

So “come off” what exactly?

Not from America. America is full of hatred towards minorities.

VPN I am sticking with Mullvad.

I had it for a few months. Luckily it was easy to swap out this early on.

Time to find a new option.

Cancelled my subscription today. I will be finding an alternative.

This is just what’s new. Their documentation and dedicated pages about linkwarden have more info.

Did you read what features linkwarden has?

One feature your browser wouldn’t do without some sort of add-in is create archived snapshots of pages in various formats. Helpful if pages go down.

That’s just one feature. I’d guarantee there are more…

If you read a bit about it I’m sure you’ll learn more.

I run Arch on both my PC and Laptop. I self host a few containers to stream media from. Either use web front end, or native apps.

I both have a job, and maintain all of this. For fun.

Laptop, or a mini PC

I don’t connect my Roku TV to the internet, and always use external devi e via HDMI.

I am not sure if there is a good way to do it without scripting, and a router that would allow for taking variable input from an external script. But theoretically if the router would support it, you could script a port change at times there are no one on the server.

Essentially the server port is in a text file, you could use some command line utilities, and write a script leveraging something like sed to change the port in place.

But I am overcomplicating it. lol

I was pondering on building my own spin of Arch. Have a look at this: archiso

Glad to hear another success story of someone who dropped Windows.

I dropped Windows on all of my machines over a month ago. My 2 desktops and 1 laptop I own are on Arch. I can’t fully escape Windows completely due to music production software I use due to lack of support for the hardware on Linux. (Thanks Line6…) So I run a Windows VM in QEMU with USB passthrough, but with no network access.

I wrote an alias to count days its been since I switched to Linux full time.

It wasn’t a difficult switch for me. Even with the learning curve. I actually enjoy the tinkering and learning aspect.

I took a similar approach. I just used a different drive. And actually reinsertrd the drive that had windows on it so I could wipe it and use it as extra storage.

I haven’t gotten around to setting it up yet, but for a google photos type self hosted setup there is Immich which looks promising!

I want to self host more, but power draw is a concern.

So I have gone the route of running to Pi 4 8gb models as my hosts of choice.

So far I am hosting:

Non-Docker:

• PiHole
• Unbound
• Wireguard (and Wireguard-UI)

Docker:

• ForgeJo
• Dozzle
• Homarr
• LinkWarden
• Traefik
• Watchtower

There are a few other services I want to get up, but I haven’t gotten around to it:

• Jellyfin
• Immich
• Nextcloud

As to why:

• ForgeJo to host my own git repositories (Docker Compose files, Chezmoi dot files, Miscellaneous configs)
• PiHole for ad blocking
• Unbound, well, having my own DNS
• Wireguard so I can connect to my home network
• Dozzle for easy log checking for my docker containers
• Linkwaren so I can backup bookmarks in a privacy friendly way
• Homarr for easy access to other web services I host
• Traefik so I can resolve IP:port to a hostname with SSL certificates even though everything I host is internal only
• Watchtower to update my Docker containers
