And it was worse too, because racism absolutely existed in the 80s, just as it always has. However people in the 80s knew racism was wrong, and bad. Even in the 80s, you knew you didn’t want to be known as a racist.
Shit, interracial marriage was not acceptable to the majority of Americans until 1994. People deluded themselves into thinking that was not racist.
Hiya, so am looking to buy more storage and while browsing am seeing some external harddisks, such as Western Digital My Book and Seagate Expansion Desktop for cheaper than the internal harddisks themselves.

Reminds me of the time Microsoft unleashed their AI Twitter account and it turned into a Nazi after a couple hours. Whatever straight out of business school idiot who thought scraping the comments of the armpit of the internet was a good idea should be banned from any management position. At least it is a step up from scraping 4chan, I guess.

I’m lost with what I’d need to do to access my server from outside my local network, and terrified of doing something wrong and leaving a hole open so any hacker can access my server. I’d like to do it some day, but I’d rather have a safe local network than screw and get my data stolen or deleted.
Setup a VPN via Wireguard or Tailscale. I personally have not done that but I have VPN setup through OpenVPN which I did not find that hard and people say that is significantly harder than Wireguard.
The other (less safe) option would be to setup a DMZ on your network for stuff you want to self host. That is a bit more involved though. I went through it for fun and setup a public Nextcloud instance along with DDNS and a reverse proxy. I was just messing around though and shut it down after testing performance.
Significantly less than a generation’s worth. 20% inflation is closer to 8 or 9 years worth of inflation. Inflation was a hell of a lot worse in the 70s and 80s. We notice it now because we have been used to <2% inflation for so long.
Yes and no. They did have some supply chain issues but those subsided quite a while ago yet they kept the rate of price increases up padding their margins because people expected inflation (aka price gouging). Right now though food prices are rising below the rate of general inflation. That said, I could certainly see prices dropping a bit since they did rise way above inflation for a while. That likely made the industry much more attractive to enter which likely means people having to sell off their shit after price increases returned to normal.
Of course. Inflation being lower does not mean the prices get lower. It just means rate that price rises will slow. They will still rise but more slowly. Think of it like acceleration. It is like the difference between how it feels to go from 25 mph to 50 mph over a mile compared with going from 50 mph to 55 mph over a mile. You are still accelerating but you don’t notice the difference as much. Prices overall are similar but hitting the brakes and going down in prices hurts a hell of a lot more than simply slowing how much prices rise.
My mom keeps saying how unusual it is for it to be in the 90s right now where they are in Arkansas. They just moved there. I keep telling her that this is going to be more and more normal but I don’t think that is setting in. I think my dad is catching on though because in the background I heard him say it would get even hotter where they used to live and I agreed but also mentioned that doesn’t happen until August, not before summer even happens. You can guess how they vote.

Apparently anything they do not like is anti-God and pro-Marxist. Not sure how being green is anti-God since it means you are being the keeper of the domain left to us. Not sure how preventing companies from getting a free ride by not allowing them to pollute everyone else’s air is pro-Marxist.
