This is a 5 alarm fire. It’s very concerning. This is precariously close to the end to the quarter millennium of the American Experiment. Seriously.

The likely scenarios, as far as I can guess are that…

a) if Biden wins with anything less than a substantial majority, there will be violence. b) if Biden just scrapes a win, violence seems likely. c) if Biden loses, the violence will be long lasting and possibly irreparable in the next generation or two.

They took a torch to your constitution. All for the sake of a very, very evil man.

I am quite afraid, to be honest. The people who are not concerned do not appear to have familiarity with some very significant and recent (ie - less than a century ago) world history.

This is not just a conventional political pendulum shift where every so often you find yourself in vociferous disagreement with where things are going. This is a fundamental shredding of societal fabric.

I would very, very much like to be wrong.

You may be onto something… /s

(I almost went with British Broadcorping Castration…)

So I looked them up with my Mastodon account to try to follow but quickly discovered that not all searches for ‘BBC’ lead to accounts related to the BBC…l.

A soup.

Note that if you want actual virtualization then perhaps Proxmox (not sure if it manages multiple hypervisors - I haven’t obtained something to test it on yet). Portainer is best for Docker management (it, and it’s client agents, run as docker containers themselves. Don’t forget to enable web sockets if proxying.

Give portainer a try. It’s actually pretty good for getting a birdseye view, and let’s you manage more than one docker server.

It’s not perfect of course.

Pfblockerng on pfsense is very powerful.

Given the ongoing cyber attack on Toronto Public Library, I really hope no one files this under ‘Life Hacks’…

They are called “mondegreens”. They’re a ton of fun.

Can you not just backup the pg txn logs (with periodic full backups, purged in accordance with your needs?). That’s a much safer way to approach DBs anyway.

(exclude the online db files from your file system replication)

Had been using Sync nonstop. Tried Boost this morning.

I no longer use Sync.

Thoughts and prayers were a bit much too ask for, clearly…

I have it and use it. It’s great (works for most sites). My point is actually the opposite - there are certain sites/services that become very unpleasant to use if you have to log in everytime you open the browser.

The advantage of apps is that for those particular services you don’t have to reauthenticate each time you open them (the trade off being insecurity.

Using websites would be great if I could have a separate (isolated) instance per site. That way I could kill browse history for general browsing.

(The absolute worst are the apps that hop out to the browser (especially when they hard code Chrome, which I avoid where possible on Android.))

On the PC (by way of example), edge and chrome have web applications that are handy (think YouTube and YouTube music) but… they share credentials! I keep a separate login for YT vs YTM (because google completely misunderstood the reason people keep videos separate from music when they killed the excellent Google Play Music). So… When I log into one, flips the default login for the other. Now, if they were separate apps, like on Android, the sessions are separated - as they ought to be!

I will say that Duck Duck Go’s App Tracking protection is a fantastic way to tackle the way apps ‘phone home’ so much, however, since it leverages a full tunnel (yet local) VPN technique, you have to disable it if you want to connect to another VPN service.

(Bottom line - website based services are great, but, for goodness sake, I wish one had the option to persist various sites, but in isolation.)

I’m torn - apps are brutal for privacy but I really like the isolation from browser and all other sites. I typically clear browser cache on every exit so for apps that I use regularly, I am forced to sign in every time if going in through browser.

Wish browser apps had better isolation for multiple sessions.

Tax slips don’t lie…

Gifts. Pointless, wasteful and often resented. If you really must give, donate to a food bank and make sure people in need get fed. (or give to a charity of your preference).

I think that was ap-parent.

It’s like trying to code a driving/racing simulator while playing it in real time. On paper…
