Care to explain?

Strange. Okay, hope that spares you from similar troubles in the future.

Check out yunohost.org (and similar projects) If you’re in for a turnkey-solution.

But yes, a reverse proxy that does all the work and handles SSL is a nice solution. I also use that. It’s relatively easy to set up, doesn’t really slow down anything and makes a lot of stuff easier to manage.

I use NGinx, but Caddy or Traefik will do the same. And I don’t use Cloudflare, so I can’t comment on that.

And btw, Jitsi-Meet is going to require some more dedidated ports for the WebRTC, STUN, etc

I don’t think recognition by law is super important to that cause. I mean it’s not like they’re part of the system in that way. On contrary, they do illegal things like ask people not to come to their workplace. They threaten employers, demand change like workplace safety, … And employers don’t listen to them because they’re required to by law, but because their production will grind to a halt if they don’t. So ultimately a workers union just needs to be backed by the workers, or at least a good amount of them. That aside, we of course need some structure to things, so legistation might help. But it’s not strictly necessary. And I don’t think it even started like that. It’s mainly a means to get heard, because a single individual can be f*cked over more easily than an organized group of people. Everything else is just details.

But I really like OP’s idea. It’s nothing new, just re-inventing what we already had in the late 1800s. And it already proved to be an option. And is in use in other parts of the world.

I don’t know anything about ZFS, but in the future you might want to address them by /dev/disks/by-uuid/… or by-id and not by /dev/nvme…

Use that learning opportunity for your future. That’s the main thing. And maybe a change of scenery won’t hurt. I doubt you’ll reconcile with your manager and coworkers, so you might as well take the other job offer, if it’s alright.

Not enough time? Biden withdrew. It was less than 4 months to election. No one had prepared and there wasn’t many people prepared to step in and take over. She kinda was, so it was the obvious choice. If they had started a lengthy process or demonstrated to be weak and a t odds, that would have made them lose the election right then and there.

If it’s a good escape plan you might help someone. I mean as long as it doesn’t require concealment to succeed. And I guess a lot of plans like “find a job abroad” don’t really need to be kept secret.

Probably everything you can being to the table. That can be very different things, depending on the person. I’d say a good first step is to organize and gather people. And then you can brainstorm within the group. See what resources you have available and where they’d fit and yield the most return. Yeah, and maybe don’t do what people did until now. That already failed. So try something new.

Fair enough. Yes I figured you probably wouldn’t have a M40 lying around by accident 😅

They’re the political opposition now. They should do what good opposition work includes. Hold the government accountable, force them to deliver results. Make the people pay attention and realize if their bills become less or more expensive. And I’d say re-consider life-choices. And make some fundamental changes. Maybe start a new political party if the Democrats are beyond hope.

Maybe you should do the maths on other options. You could get a refurbished PC for $350. Or buy the dock anyways. Or spend the money on cloud compute if you’re just occasionally using AI. Idk.

I think the word for workers self-organizing and advocating for their cause is… Union(izing).

I mean there might be some other connotation to the word in US politics. But I think that’s pretty much the definition of the term.

Fair enough. I always hope we’ll move towards a better future… And not backwards. But you’re right. You pick some random time in history and then make up some policies that supposedly get you back to that place. And an additional psychological factor is, most of us had our best time when we were young, life was easier, less work and less consequence. So we might want that back instead of our current, more complex life.

Though this isn’t about conservatism, is it? Trump doesn’t like democracy and half of the things that shaped the USA. I mean there is some overlap but he should be opposed by any sane conservative. I think it’s more a dip towards fascism or something else.

I did some quick googling. Are those thunderbolt docks really $350 ? That’s like half the price of a cheap computer?!

By choice. The main developers don’t like that kind of gamification, bragging, karma farming and the negative aspects that come with such things.

They’re more frequent with landline phones. I suppose because calling a mobile phone is comparatively more expensive here in Europe. (And probably also because the US puts less effort into protecting it’s citizens and customers.)

That “either” means, it doesn’t matter which path you took, from now on the following text applies to both… So you don’t need to care.
