It's not even itself overly broad, it's just been twisted into a global war on terror because the executives want to do that and no one stopped them.

Yes, therein lies the problem. It was a stupid mistake to make and those that voted for it should have known better.

There were two AUMFs. One for "terrorism" and one for Iraq.

I'm not in disagreement, that also wasn't what my initial reply was about.

Yes, we call those "blank checks" to the executive branch. The Germans even have a word for it. We did it with Vietnam and it did not go well. One would have thought the generation in Congress would have learned their lesson given most of them lived through that shitshow.

It goes without saying that military resources can defend themselves when fired upon, there's plenty of precedent going back well before the formation of the US. The AUMFs were not that. They were very clearly blank checks to wage literal wars anywhere the executive desired while providing the flimsiest of evidence - and Shrub did just that. See: Iraq.

The last war by US Congress was declared in June 1942, against Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. US Congress has not made a formal declaration of war since then.

It renders for me now too, I presume the mobile app was updated. Star Trek cartoon Kirk for me.

Watch out for direct injected cars, which is virtually all of them now except for electrics. Many don't have traditional fuel injectors in the intake manifold anymore, and because of poor PCV systems, oil vapor carbonizes on the intake valves, causing problems. This is generally around the 40k-50k mile mark, potentially sooner if people don't drive their cars on the freeway for extended periods after startup. Some newer cars have addresses this by adding supplemental fuel injectors in the intake (some audis, some Toyotas) but it's not a widespread practice, of it will ever be.

Let's say I've got 100 episodes of NOVA. I've added one episode to a playlist about a certain subject, and there's a bunch of other videos in that playlist about that subject.

I go into the playlist and click the play button. This is the play button on the playlist, not the individual video in the list.

My expectation is that the next video it plays is the next video in the playlist. However, repeatedly, it plays the next NOVA video instead of the next video in the playlist.

What am I doing wrong here?

Clarifying: it finishes the first video in the playlist, but then continues on to a video that is not in the playlist.

 

What is everyone doing? SELinux? AppArmor? Something else?

I currently leave my nextcloud exposed to the Internet. It runs in a VM behind an nginx reverse proxy on the VM itself, and then my OPNSense router runs nginx with WAF rules. I enforce 2fa and don't allow sign-ups.

My goal is protecting against ransomware and zerodays (as much as possible). I don't do random clicking on links in emails or anything like that, but I'm not sure how people get hit with ransomware. I keep nextcloud updated (subscribed to RSS update feed) frequently and the VM updates everyday and reboots when necessary. I'm running the latest php-fpm and that just comes from repos so it gets updated too. HTTPS on the lan with certificates maintained by my router, and LE certs for the Internet side.

Beside hiding this thing behind a VPN (which I'm not prepared to do currently), is there anything else I'm overlooking?

 

I have a P400 in my storage server which currently also runs some media containers like Plex, sonarr-sma, radarr-sma, Jellyfin, exploring Immich, etc. I have the GPU surfaced via docker and added it to each of the containers that needed access to the GPU for hardware acceleration needs. Is it possible to be able to leverage the Nvidia gpu container remotely (over the lan) without having the containers access it (pseudo) directly? I want to move the media handling containers to a Turing Pi 2 and keep just the GPU access on the storage server.

 

Anyone done this? Got a set of repeatable instructions? My understanding is that the root docker image needs to switch from alpine to ubuntu and that hasn't happened yet.

 

How do you configure your webfingers to support multiple subdomains that host AP services?

Edit: looks like someone filed this issue. If you have a GitHub account, please thumbs up/bump it!

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3563

 

I can install and run pixelfed on a subdomain, for example, pixelfed.example.com. However, I also run mastodon.example.com. My webfinger points at mastodon. How do I configure a webfinger for both pixelfed and mastodon? How do you all have your webfingers setup when you run multiple activitypub-based services?

Edit: I should also add that I'm trying to tie my mastodon account to user@domain.tld, not specific to the mastodon subdomain, but specific to my user email identity. My mastodon domain would be sometime like mastodon.domain.com, which would normally make my user user@mastodon.domain.com.

I do see this as a potential solution - I could route the specific service based on user agent to the correct webfinger: https://serverfault.com/questions/775463/nginx-redirect-based-on-user-agent#825725

So here is the issue on github:

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3563

If folks have GitHub accounts, could you please bump this/thumbs up?

My background is backend development with Java and Kotlin for the last decade. I have a little bit of HTML/JS experience but I'm not a pro. I would like to build a modern Sierra game, of sorts.

I have no problem investing the time, it just seems overwhelming to jump into and while I've looked at a couple of tutorials, I still seem a bit mystified by the process.

I'm interested in multiplayer design and function twofold, as I'm intrigued at both how to make it work efficiently and the reasons some game companies claim their game servers cost millions a month to run and have to shut them off (looking at you, Gun Media).

 

Now that Bandcamp has had huge layoffs, what about an opensource, Fediverse-friendly replacement? What can a FOSS product bring to the community and do better than Bandcamp?

  • Discoverability?
  • Broader selection of payments platforms? Direct transfer to avoid processors? (I'm ignorant about the processing system, plus international considerations)
  • Ease of spinning up (SaaS?)
  • Content deliverability (on the fly transcode from sourced FLAC or WAVs? Rich video/multi track audio?)
 

Vacancy taxes here should be painfully high here. $3m property vacant for years? Should be paying about $300k/yr in vacancy taxes.

 

I have some metal film 1/2w 2.2ohm resistors in some car wiring. I'm concerned about the durability of this install and am seeking advice on how to protect the resistor once it's soldered in place. The obvious is heat shrink tubing, but it's there anything more substantial?

I'll be using these resistors in a custom pigtail that will plug into the car wiring. 3D printed housing? I have tried searching and I haven't found anything like that.
