/r/politics and /c/politics is more or less supposed to be American politics. There's some history that I can't be bothered explaining.
You'll find that in the fediverse without an algorithm feeding you stuff you like, you'll see a whole lot more stuff you don't like. There's also a lot of trash posted to lemmy.
Pro tip: you don't need to post a comment complaining about everything you don't like, you can just scroll past.
There's a number of instances and communities pretty much everyone blocks. I'll leave you to encounter them in your own time.
Probably check out lemmyverse.net and find some communities you do like. You'll probably find that there's less content in those communities than you're used to seeing on reddit. Maybe post something, maybe don't.
I guess it's good that non-political people are starting to get involved. Shame they didn't spend 5 minutes to check which way the wind was blowing in November last year.
These are almost certainly lady finger bananas from South East Asia. They're creamy and very sweet as far as bananas go.
I've never tried them canned but I'd say most of these would be used as an ingredient in deserts. I expect that they would indeed be packed in a sickly sweet syrup.
Any minute now one of those brave-browser idiots will be along to tell us all how great ads are because they can make us aware of products that we had not yet discovered or remind us of products we didn't know were near by.
We have an election in the next few months and our conservative party will likely win. They're running a Trump-lite campaign around cutting government agencies.
Moreover we have always been very culturally, socially, militarily and politically aligned with the US.
For example, right now we tacitly support Ukraine but would have been very cautious in expressing that support since November last year. With our current progressive government it would be... challenging it Trump asked us to toe the line and declare Ukraine the aggressor. In a few months however I wouldn't be surprised if our newly elected conservative government was much more willing to sing that song.
In my city last year there was a vocal group of conservatives trying to ban books at the library, and prevent the city supporting a LGBTIQ+ festival, and stoke foment over transgender people using public toilets. We import a lot of US conservative politics.
We may not seem like a particularly authoritarian country but we have ever been poised to become such. We've always scored very poorly on privacy, and media bias.
Like most phobias I think most people experience discomfort with this imagery but to really have a phobia it needs to be an unreasonable level of anxiety I think.
IDK why we have a hard wired aversion to these. It might be a vestigial response to some kind of predator or danger which is no longer relevant.
I would think very carefully before contacting the police. I am not suggesting that you should provide a safe harbor for people sharing CSAM, or obfuscate their crime. You absolutely should take action, but carefully weigh your options before calling the police.
While it may (possibly!) be true in your jurisdiction that platform operators are not liable for user content, police aren't on "your side". Even if you assume the highest standards of professionalism from them, they need to represent the interests of the victims (not you) and need to diligently investigate the crime. That means they need to confirm beyond reasonable doubt that you are not involved beyond operating the host.
Just because you self-disclose does not mean that you are innocent. You could've been actively participating and when threatened with blackmail you've decided to self-disclose to avert guilt.
Another consideration is what else I have on my server. I'm catch and release for pirate movies and TV these days so there's only 100gb or so. I do have several hundred pirate audiobooks though. Deleting all that before handing my server over will look very suspicious.
With all of this in mind, the only course of action is to talk to a lawyer. A lawyer will know exactly what laws are relevant, and can guide you through the process of self-disclosure while minimising the imposition on you.
ok so don't hate me but h001, h002, h003, and so on.
That's h for host. I also use n to number networks, and k to number physical keys.
I list them all in my keepassxc password database, where I can include any additional information.
With the prevalence of vms, docker containers, and docker networks, there's just too many things to name. By numbering them I can just side step that whole game.
I can't disagree with any of that, it's just that fascist just sounds and feels more insulting.
