I don't like politicians that support billionaires or holy wars either, but isn't this ideology partially responsible for the situation we're in now?

I understand that voting for someone who is not just the lesser of two evils but also directly opposed to our fundamental values might perpetuate a broken system... but couldn't there be a way to change the political zeitgeist without killing our own citizens in the streets and threatening to glass a country of millions?

I want the systems of oppression to fall as much as the next guy, but allowing the Trump administration to concentrate power as fast as possible doesn't seem like a fair trade to get there.

Despite the challenge getting it set up, I have high hopes for movim! I like the direction they're going now.

I did end up successfully deploying it in a compose stack (despite this issue), and I'll probably submit a fix if they don't get to it before I do.

If anyone is interested, I can share the details about how I got it going.

Thanks for the link, I'm happy to give it a try.

I just recently migrated all of my stuff to dockerized services, so swapping out pieces should be pretty easy

I've had matrix and element set up on my personal domain for a while, but I've only used them for evaluation so far. The system and network resources used are HUGE...

I've been setting up movim and a seperate xmpp server for a little while, and I have some initial opinions:

  • xmpp (prosody) appears to be much better optimised than matrix (synapse)
  • matrix and element are much easier to set up
  • movim is a huge PITA to deploy yourself (especially in a container... you're basically on your own at the moment)
  • xmpp requires tcp ports and ssl certs that should be easy to set up... unless you're on a cgnat network. Matrix can be set up through a cloudflare tunnel with https no problem, but xmpp requires some networking elbow grease.
  • the mandatory certificates probably make the xmpp network safer?
  • Even with the mautrix discord bridge copying the exact layout of discord channels into element, movim seems more familiar to me. I haven't really had enough time to evaluate movim, but it seems like it's trying to appeal to discord users, and element is clearly not. Element feels like a well funded enterprise tool that is doing its own thing.
  • commet (with 2 m's) chat is a very faithful discord clone for matrix, but it's very barebones.

Either way, I am gonna deploy both and let my friends/discord channel users decide what works best.

I'm rooting for xmpp at the moment, but I will be happy with anything that is self hosted, encrypted and federated.

Hopefully I don't end up having to maintain both protocols with a bridge!

In America, the only part that most people would want to print is the serialized part of the firearm. In a Glock it's the frame (which is polymer in OEM Glocks), and in an AR, it's the lower receiver.

You can buy a Glock slide assembly, barrel, frame rails, trigger, etc anonymously and without any paperwork.

The same is true of ARs, you can get all of the parts except the lower receiver anonymously and without paperwork.

Also, unless you live in a state where the local laws explicitly prohibit it (like WA), it's perfectly legal to make your own firearms. You can even serialize and register them with the ATF if you want (but you are not legally obligated to do so). You don't need an FFL/SOT to do it.

I wouldn't do it if you don't know your local laws though... If you break the law or violate ATF policy, they'll shoot your dog and send you to prison forever.

Is that actually what he's trying to say?

It sounds like he's talking about what Russia thinks they are doing, not the reality of the situation.

Idk what the rest of the context is, and I've never watched Hasan.

I use vscode for my personal projects (c++ and a fully open source stack, compiling for both Linux and Windows).

I'm using the proprietary version of vscode (via the aur) for the plugin repository, but I've always envied the open source version...

Are there any tools that have made you excited?

Bonus points if they have some support for compiling with MSVC (or if you can convince me to ditch it for something else).

Distrobox is just a set of shell scripts that controlls Podman under the hood. Not only is it like docker, it literally uses the same container format (ContainerD).

Do they actually produce as much CO2 as carbon plants? Do you have a source for that claim?

In terms of nuclear waste storage, the IAEA claims 390,000 tonnes were generated between 1954 and 2016, and a third has been recycled.

The US EPA claims the US generated 6,340 million metric tons of CO2, and 25% were for the electric power economic sector.

The nuclear waste is stored on site, but I imagine carbon waste is stored mostly in our atmosphere...

The narrative I have heard is that nuclear energy waste is much more manageable than fossil fuel waste, but if nuclear energy has emissions or scaling problems I'm not aware of, I'd be happy to revise my preconceptions about it.
