Would you like to talk more?

I'm interested in making friends. I'll send you my email if you'd like

You will say his silly name with respect! Dr. Glaucomflecken

I think it's "eye spot"

Tax stamps (recently repealed)

For the longest time, if you wanted certain types of weapons, you had to pay a $200 tax to own that weapon. These include surpressors, full auto guns, short barrel rifles, and short barrel shotguns

The point wasn't to ban these things it was to make them prohibitively expensive because "its the poor's who vomit violence". And this tax was implemented in the 1940's where $200 was off 2 or 4 times the cost of the gun itself.

A different example is gun registries and concealed carry license databases. I don't trust the police to act calm when interacting with me when they know I have a gun. There are special classes that CCL holders take often so that they know how to read a cop and keep them calm during a traffic stop or a welfare check because cops are trained to shoot first and are very scared of the masses.

Think of Paretti here. Shot dead for having a gun. People blamed it on the ICE agent being a violent fascist thug trained like that. I don't see it that way. I think he operated like a cop who was told no consequences.

We have videos of cops approaching black men, committing the crime of being in white people spaces, who ask them if they have a gun, the man says yes, the cop tells them at gun point to pull it out and drop it, and then shoost the man when he touches the gun.

I don't trust police to use surveillance state information like who owns what guns in a way that won't get me killed. Its why I'm still hesitant to get any tax stamp items. I'd love an SBR, but then I am legally required to let the ATF "inspect" my home if they ask me to. I have to tell the ATF when and where I'm moving to if I change states.

My friend. You as an individual cannot be targeted with genocide. Genocide is the erasure of a whole cultural identity.

That's another linguistic oddity you're using that I think is upsetting people to be hostile against you.

It sounds like you're being harassed and that's terrible that you're experiencing that kind of violence.

Is this danger around speaking, is it something that's happening to you in real life or just online? It sounds like something bad is happening to you in real life, but I think these issues your having for which you're asking for permission to speak is caused by your linguistic oddities.

Okay, but those are both normal identities here. Have you had bad experiences based on those identities here?

Its an odd linguistic choice to identify as a "male homosexual" specifically and especially as a defiant statement against a seemingly specific type of bigotry.

Further its odd to start from the assumption that people will be racist towards you as well. Especially here where we can't know that information unless given to us.

You're clearly traumatized and reacting in response to that, but it starts the conversation off on a terrible foot when you assume the community you're posting to for the first time is going to be hostile to you for things we cannot know unless you share it. I think the hostility you've encountered here, including my swearing, was triggered by this because you offended us.

What do you mean permission to speak?

Where are you trying to talk?

Do mean like "speak to a therapist?"

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Call the police stop posting! Are you okay?

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago (5 children)

What do you mean "male" and "homosexuality" is incompatible?

Further what do you mean your ethnicity is divisive? What are you talking about?

You should talk about poetry if that's what you want to do.

Gotta say it homies.

I think I finally found a kink I don't get.

9 out of 11 tasteless jokes Americans tell are 9/11 jokes.

And like that's a recent tragedy. I can't even tell ya when the Alamo happened.

As an american, I wish I knew that sooner!

 

I have a Hugo blog I'm setting up to work on my own forgejo server flow instead of through Github Pages.

I hate how pictures work on Hugo so I was going to just host them on a separate thing and embed the images that way.

Now I'm over thinking it and considering to just run a Lemmy instance, post the markdown for the blog posts there along with the images. Then I have an image host and a place to let people complain about my shotty writing in one go.

Plus there's federation visibility as well.

So short questions

  1. This a good idea?

  2. Are there better options?

  3. is it easy enough to set up a single user Lemmy/Piefed instance?

  4. Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

 

Context: During the second Punic War, Hannibal kinda just vibed on the Italian peninsula for 5 years making alliances that weren't very stable and not doing anything except cause chaos.

Eventually he decides to march on Rome in 211 BC making camp about 3 miles away from the roman walls.

There was a cavalry skirmish and serious panic from much of Rome as Hannibal had just delivered some crushing blows to Roman morale during his adventurers in Italy.

However, the march on Rome was mostly a bluff. Hannibal was well equipped and skilled at field combat between armies but had almost no siege capabilities.

So his plan was to march on Rome before their annual army raising ceremonies. Except, he got there the day a 10,000 man army was sworn in.

The romans, however, are stupid and were ready to field an army against Hannibal, but a heavy storm was viewed as a bad omen/auspice by both sides. So they rescheduled for the next day, but it stormed again.

At this point Hannibal made some excuses and decided to leave.

Interestingly. The field he camped in was auctioned off while he was there.

I was away on business so my normal space wasn't there and the hotel room wasn't doing it for me.

This was in Mazarick Park in Fayetteville NC.

I thought it was quite nice. Not home but reminded me enough of it that I cried a little.

 

So I have a a mini rack.

I have about 1.5 U of rack space and a model for a 4 bay 3.5 inch BOD

HOWEVER, no idea how best to connect them to a computer.

I'm thinking right now just plugging them into a Think center m715 with a powered USB hub.

I'm also thinking get a Raspberry Pi 5 and a nvme to sata hat, but I'm not aware of a way to power those 4 drives other than extra internal power supply. It would be convenient to just use like a wall wart or USB 2 power.

Thoughts? Best practices?

 

I've been looking at moving all my services to my 10 inch mini rack and I found Lenovo Tiny P320 computers with P600 GPUs in them. According to a reddit post from a while back these are 1060 equivalent and should be able to handle multiple 1080p 60fps streams.

My current Jellyfin server is in my Epyc 7302p server with a 4060 which I'm pretty sure is over kill for my use case.

Anyone else ever make a downgrade like this? Did it work out alright? For $100 for a P320 I'm sure I won't regert the purchase but I need to be talked into wasting money.

 

My rack is finished for now (because I'm out of money).

Last time I posted I had some jank cables going through the rack and now we're using patch panels with color coordinated cables!

But as is tradition, I'm thinking about upgrades and I'm looking at that 1U filler panel. A mini PC with a 5060ti 16gb or maybe a 5070 12gb would be pretty sick to move my AI slop generating into my tiny rack.

I'm also thinking about the PI cluster at the top. Currently that's running a Kubernetes cluster that I'm trying to learn on. They're all PI4 4GB, so I was going to start replacing them with PI5 8/16GB. Would those be better price/performance for mostly coding tasks? Or maybe a discord bot for shitposting.

Thoughts? MiniPC recs? Wanna bully me for using AI? Please do!

 

So I have rebuilt my Production rack with very little in terms of an actual software plan.

I host mostly docker contained services (Forgejo, Ghost Blog, OpenWebUI, Outline) and I was previously hosting each one in their own Ubuntu Server VM on Proxmox thus defeating the purpose.

So I was going to run a VM on each of these Thinkcentres that worked as a Kubernetes Cluster and then ran everything on that. But that also feels silly since these PCs are already Clustered through Proxmox 9.

I was thinking about using LXC but part of the point of the Kubernetes cluster was to learn a new skill that might be useful in my career and I don't know how this will work with Cloudflared Tunnels which is my preferred means of exposing services to the internet.

I'm willing to take a class or follow a whole bunch of "how-to" videos, but I'm a little frazzled on my options. Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Okay Kubernetes people. I am about to build my first cluster with 4 Raspberry Pi 4B 4gb models powered over POE.

I was going to host just some basic stuff on it (forgejo, a couple Ghost Blogs) and try hosting a Mastodon instance.

The documentation mentioned that I should not use the SD cards for database stuff. So I was going to get some super short thumb drives.

What is everyone else's set up look like with raspberry pis? And how important is matching hardware?

I'm sure I'll learn more from reading the documents but this is my concern right now.

(I was also required to upload a photo so have my Latitude D630)

 

Anyone have any recommendations for Blog software?

I was considering for a while just using a mastodon instance as my blog because I just kinda wanna sign in and upload my papers that I've written. I was pretty close with Hugo. I'd rather not have to build the site everytime I upload and I want to self host and not use Github actions. I think I still could do it since I like using Cloudflared tunnels.

What is all out there?

 

I run my production Jellyfin server and a few other services on a Optiplex sff computer with a thicc hard drive and a low profile GPU.

I want to build two more of these with thicc Hard drives so that my parents and my in-laws can have a local Jellyfin instance that I manage remotely and they just need a box plugged in somewhere at their homes.

Is it possible to make Proxmox build a VPN tunnel on boot so I can just have it in my cluster dash. Like using tailscale or openvpn.

Or am I going to have to go with my original plan and put that on the same box as the Jellyfin server and then just VNC in?

Any tips or ideas?

 

So I'm trying to get Jellyfin accessible on the open web through a cloudflared tunnel

I have a default install of Jellyfin running that is still accessible locally.

I'm able to ping TV.myblogdomain.com

And the Cloudflared dashboard says the connection is up.

I have implemented page rules and caching rules to turn CDN off.

I have set the DNS server on the Jellyfin VM to be the Cloudflared DNS server.

It's pointed to https://jellyfin:8096/

And it wasn't working with or without a CIDR in the tunnel configuration.

Should I try uninstalling fail2ban and see if that helps? I thought I configured it right pointing it to the 8096 port but maybe I need to do 80/443?

Any tips or guides would be appreciated.

 

I have been upset recently by a colleague googling me and found my full name on several 3D Printing sites I used to use. I guess I signed in with my google account and so it just pops up now that I've deleted all my socials.

I have a fairly uncommon first + last combo so the cursory google search and then sending "delete my data" emails from the email they know from the 3 data brokers who popped up seems good and now just my linkedin is showing (this is the ideal state).

Is there more I'm missing? should I go for a deleteme subscription in case I missed anything? Other sources I should go to?

I really don't mind sending my own emails to these pests, but is that really all the services are doing? Or is there a backend I'm missing?
