  • JD Vance Tells MAGA Podcaster He Thinks UFOs Are ‘Demons’

    Jump

  • Unfortunately I've heard this exact refrain from at least one small town Christian couple up here in the northeast

    I get these vibes, too, from some of the increasingly trad-aestheticized Catholics I grew up with, which is actually antithetical to the actual stance of the Catholic church which is, y'know, science and God go hand in hand, evolution is real, big bang happened , etc, etc

    Edit: like suddenly those Catholics are ALL ABOUT demons and learning about demons. One was trying to tell me Labubus are based on Chinese demons and I blurted out "oh you believe in their demons too? Like not just Christian demons but ones from Eastern tradition as well" dude did not understand what I was asking so I dropped it to not be too much a dick

  • Why isn't using a key file the most common way to log into self-hosted servers?

    Jump

  • I'm an admin and using an SSH key is the most common way we log into servers.

    Also the most common way I log in to self-hosted servers.

  • Firewood Banks Aren’t Inspiring. They’re a Sign of Collapse.

    Jump

  • Sure they're bemoaning the failing state, but in doing so they're glorifying State power -- maybe that's a better way to put it. But again, inspiration from community and anger at the State aren't mutually exclusive -- and the author making it out like they are is simping for the State imo.

    I think we probably also have a disconnect because I tend to think of the State as an unjust centralization of power that is extremely vulnerable to this exact sorta thing happening, rather than a mechanism to execute the will of the people. Even if you've wrangled it enough to provide some material good to normal folk -- look how fast it can be taken away at a whim. Communal acts tell me first that free relations between individuals are possible (plausible, or maybe inevitable?) outside of the context of Government and Market, that the Government and the Market are not as inevitable as we're taught to believe -- so I think that there is hope there. Hopefully that kinda illustrates what I'm saying better.

    But I do see how a liberal or a socialist may say, "anger first" in this context, so I hear you. Just not that way for me.

  • But I never said it was more reasonable for people to bypass the state, especially, as you say, a state as large and rich as the US. Im specifically saying that the denial of even granting these communities the terms "inspirational" or "resilient" is Statist, particularly because the fact that wood banks are resilient and the fact that it's bad thing that State institutions are failing are not mutually exclusive, while the author asserts that, since these acts are indicative of a failing State, they are neither inspirational nor resilient. It's just a fallacy.

    You can avoid the glorification of private solutions to public problems while also granting that a community that engages in communal acts is a good thing.

    And that’s great that it’s happening, but it’s shifty that the government, ostensibly the representative of the community, can’t institutionalize what is clearly the will of the community

    Yes ^^ but, to me, expected -- when your politicians rely on boats of money to get elected, they are beholden to the money and not the community. Especially now it seems, the clear will of the community in the US is of less value than the will of the large donor.

  • NewRepublic simping for the State, fails to see how anything other than the State could be considered inspiring or resilient.

    Apparently, acts of solidarity aren't inspiring and people taking their material wellbeing into their own hands aren't being resilient because it means the State is non-functional...just...what?

    Such a weird article.

  • UNH poll shows Graham Platner leading Democratic field of Senate challengers by wide margin

    Jump

  • Yeah that's why I'm skeptical of this guy actually being a Nazi lol

    But then again the dude literally had a Nazi tattoo so that's why this whole situation is so weird.

    I guess I can personally see it being ignorance because I didn't learn about 88 until the last couple years.

  • UNH poll shows Graham Platner leading Democratic field of Senate challengers by wide margin

    Jump

  • He got it in Croatia btw. To me, it's plausible he didn't know. He seems to have gotten progressively more disillusioned by his time in the military. Comments from 2018 like

    If people “expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle, they ought to do some reading of history,” he wrote in one since-deleted post. In another, he said that “an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice.”

    don't scream secret nazi to me. People comparing him to Fetterman is kinda silly to me considering Platner has called what's going on in Gaza a genocide while Fetterman is a still supporter of Israel.

    There's a source out there, I guess, that claims they talked to Platner and he explicitly referred to his tattoo as "my totenkopf" but its an anonymous source who spoke to zionist publication Jewish Insider, so idk. Seems hit job-y to me.

    Then again what the fuck do I know. The water is pretty muddy and its a terrible look regardless.

  • I use navidrome to stream music from my desktop. Symphonium is my android client. It costs like 2 bucks but it's real good. Lots of different UI options.

    I haven't done it myself since Im the only one using it...but I think in order to have somewhere your family can login and download music ... That is a separate application from navidrome. Lidarr, Jackett, and somehow connect to qbittorent...I haven't done it yet but I think that's probably the route id go

  • That's awesome you got back into it for pure enjoyment!

    Gear acquisition syndrome is real though. Fortunately for me I was able to recover from it in the context of guitars. Unfortunately for me I picked up photography as a hobby...

  • Do you play an instrument? What's your favorite thing about it?

    Jump

  • I play guitar casually since a little before COVID. Becoming more fluent with it every time I play is an amazing feeling.

    Getting into a groove, putting my own spin/expressing myself with songs I like, and jamming with friends are experiences that are unmatched in enjoyment for me.

    Making up my own silly songs on the fly is fun too.

    Learning to play is the best thing I ever did. I had to get over the idea that it would be hard work to get good, or the idea that I'd never be as good as someone who started as a kid, or that I'd ever even be technically good, at all. Letting go of that stuff allowed me to enjoy each moment playing, and just have fun.
