It will never be ethical to buy Subnautica 2 as long as Krafton is still involved.

Surely this would be nearly impossible for visually impaired people, which makes me question the ability for governments to implement this on their websites.

I know about screen reader software for visual impairment, but to expect a blind person use a separate device with a camera to take a “photo” of a QR code on another screen is beyond comprehension. Well, at least it would be in the normal timeline.

I guess I’ll have to switch to a dumb phone out of spite now.

It’s just a hobby so i know I have room for improvement, but the bigger my environment gets the more difficult it is to keep everything completely up to date, like you said. Given that, my main priorities are:

  • have as few internet facing services as possible
  • use a reverse proxy
  • separate external and internal servers with a dmz
  • use fail2ban or crowsec on servers that have ports forwarded
  • firewall geoblocking
  • BACKUPS, local and remote

Now that being said, I’ve started to use ansible playbooks for deploying OS updates. I have a playbook that uses default options when doing an apt upgrade and it also works for the docker engine user prompt.

About 75% of my services are native installs in LXCs and I try to always install by including the app repo so that apt can update it and the other 25% are in docker. I used to use watchtower but that’s no longer maintained, so I do container updates manually as needed.

It’s not perfect, but it’s just for fun so 🤷

Earlier today I was thinking about a conversation that I had a few weeks ago about Tesla. I mentioned that I would love to have one but I'd never consider buying one while Elon is still with the company. Their response was the normal "eh, I don't really think about that kind of stuff" and that was that. It was just a polite conversation so we didn't go into values or beliefs about it, but I'm certain that they were being truthful and didn't really have any deeper thoughts on it. Most people just simply don't care.

As for me, I believe voting with your wallet is the strongest thing that any one of us can do, at least while lobbying is still normalized within politics. The billionaires and mega-corps only care about money and they'll only change if something is affecting their bottom line.
