The problem is our politics has just become a game of divisive bloody-mindedness, where the “long-term” view only reaches as far as the next election, and the opposition does nothing but shit-can the ideas of the government of the day, even if they’re good ideas.

Putting aside his out-of-touch conservatism, the last time we had true bi-partisan politics in Australia was under Howard, when he brought about gun reform.

As we have a two party system, I vote with the view that I want to build a strong enough majority government in the lower house that they can build good legislation without having to horse-trade with the other party, but with the right mix in the Senate that they need to negotiate with the right parties/people to pass things into law.

For me, I prefer a Labor government, but with enough Greens and/or independents in the Senate that Labor has to consider things like social reform and climate action to get their legislation passed.

My voting order (currently) tends to be:

  • Independents (where their policies align with my views/goals)
  • Greens (usually)
  • Labor
  • (potentially) fringe parties with good platforms (this is both rare and dangerous IMHO - I usually dig into their voting prefs first)
  • Liberals
  • Extremist view parties (One Nation, etc)
  • Absolutely anything with a remotely religious agenda

I know I’m possibly a bit rare in this regard, but I’ll often spend part of a weekend before an election researching the candidates for my seat and senate, and building my voting order in advance. A lot of people might see this as wasted time, but I actually enjoy diving into this stuff and casting my vote with my conscience.

Adjacent question: is there a compelling reason to run HAOS? I run my HA setup in docker on a Proxmox CT, using Portainer/Watchtower to manage, so genuinely wondering if there would be benefits I’m missing out on.

DeltaTangoLima,
@DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com avatar

Sorry - not sure what you mean? I use HACS in my setup. Are there extra features in HACS when running HAOS?

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for that.

Interesting (kinda) coincidence. I’ve just switched from Android back to iPhone, after about 10 years away from the platform.

But I use an always-on Wireguard VPN back to my home network, with my DNS set to my Pi-hole servers and my firewall rules blocking access to all external DNS servers, except from my Pi-holes for upstream resolution.

I’m yet to do some p-caps to see what I’m missing in this setup - while I’m confident it did a great job of protecting me from a lot of Google’s data-harvesting shenanigans, I’m yet to investigate what I need to do to achieve a similar outcome for my iPhone.

I haven’t gone into detail on this, but I suspect some shiny-suited, greasy-haired wanker lawyer has been able to make a case that things like site-specific CSS classes and the like can somehow be covered by DMCA.

I’m 100% speculating (not American, not a lawyer) but it’s more than URIs and Javascript, is what I’m saying.

Thanks for the share - have grabbed the latest Firefox repo for my private Forgejo.

Are you able to share any additional details about your setup? How are you running HA?

Scratch that - I just realised that you mentioned the Supervisor container, so that kinda tells me how you’re running it. I suspect the problem is that both Portainer and the Supervisor container want to maintain a lock of some sort on docker.sock.

But I run HA in its own container, so I don’t have any experience with the Supervisor container myself. I do run everything with Portainer though, and I’ve seen other things that wanted to use docker.sock have problems with it.

@DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com avatar

I edited my reply above. Could it be that both want to lock docker.sock?

Am I missing something? Aside from the below comment, I can’t see anything that really talks about why handwriting is important.

“We know that fluency in thinking and fluency in writing are intimately linked.”

Why does the decline in student handwriting “spell trouble”?

DeltaTangoLima,
@DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com avatar

I get all that - I still feel that the best way to commit to memory when I take notes in meetings is to handwrite my notes.

My point is that the article doesn’t go into any detail about why declining handwriting in students “spells trouble”. It’s a shitty headline for what the article actually reports.

This doesn’t belong here - it’s definitely a stupid question. Why should anyone care what you think about their facial hair, or any other body choice?

DeltaTangoLima,
@DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com avatar

Yep. I didn’t feel this way for a long time, then realised it was because I was married to the wrong woman. She was heavily influencing the sort of man I was outwardly portraying, and it always felt like I was wearing a badly-made suit.

After the end of that marriage, I met my soul mate, and now have two wonderful stepkids and an incredible daughter. We’ve now been together for a little over 11 years, and I’m still amazed at how lucky I am. My family gives me purpose and meaning, every day.

After that, nothing else matters.

Except for the parts where, in the name of religion, people are subjected to barbaric surgical procedures; “cures” for their sexual preferences; and pedophiles in positions of authority, among many other terrible things.

In the history of humankind, religion is responsible for more human suffering than all other causes combined.

Looking for a reverse proxy to put any service behind a login for external access.

I host a few docker containers and use nginx proxy manager to access them externally since I like to have access away from home. Most of them have some sort of login system but there are a few examples where there isn’t so I currently don’t publicly expose them. I would ideally like to be able to use totp for this as well.

DeltaTangoLima,
@DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com avatar

I use Nginx Proxy Manager and Authelia for just this. Authelia supports a wide range of identity and MFA providers.

Edit: although Authelia has an article on how to set it up, I found it still missed some key info. This article was the one that helped me most in getting it to work.

Language is more than just written script and spoken words - grammar is very language specific too. In Spanish, the example above is indeed grammatically correct.

Are you reusing one postgres instance for all services?

I have many services running on my server and about half of them use postgres. As long as I installed them manually I would always create a new database and reuse the same postgres instance for each service, which seems to me quite logical. The least amount of overhead, fast boot, etc....

DeltaTangoLima, (edited )
@DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com avatar

I run Proxmox with a few nodes, and each of my services are (usually) dockerized, each running in a Proxmox Linux container.

As I like to keep things segregated as much as possible, I really only have one shared Postgres, for the stuff I don’t really care about (ie. if it goes down, I honestly don’t care about the services it takes with it, or the time it’ll take me to get them back).

My main Postgres instances are below - there’s probably others, but these are the ones I backup religiously, and test the backups frequently.

  1. RADIUS database: for wireless auth
  2. paperless-ngx: document management indexing & data
  3. Immich: because Immich has a very specific set of Postgres requirements
  4. Shared: 2 x Sonarr, 3 x Radarr, 1 x Lidarr, a few others

What do YouTube tech reviewers do with all the tech?

As asked in the title. Anyone have insider information? Speculations are welcomed. It just seems such an e-waste, but at the same time some reviewing more well known techs are helpful. But those whose goal is to make their video entertaining rather than informative like going on a tech shopping spree on Amazon or Aliexpress to...

That was the English guy? DIY Perks built the cabinet for the other fella who reviews the phones?

This dual-port charger can only output 45W of power when using one port at a time, with the output halved at 22W to each device when plugging in two simultaneously.

Yes. That’s literally how max power ratings on devices like this work. And, to be that guy, even when plugging in two devices and getting 22.5W on each socket, the charger is still outputting 45W.

This feels like a paid advert written by Ikea’s press department - not The Verge itself.

Thunderbolt v3 handles up to 100W. I have a 90W USB-C port on one of my monitors for just that purpose.

Edit: lol. I see my mistake. Edited. I deal in kW and MW for my job. I’ll call it muscle memory.

Lol. The perils of replying to Lemmy posts while in work mode.

Helluva Thunderbolt cable, eh?
