If Harris loses, expect Democrats to move right
  • Adding to this: All politicians will always go where they think the votes are. Of course there's some nuance to this. Trump doesn't think he has a chance in Hell of winning a state like NY or CA. Sure, he'll do some appearances, but everyone knows it's a lost cause. Same w/ Harris and the red flyover states. But if polling shows there are votes to be had and the campaign is willing to "shift" their stance, they will go after it. Every. Time.

    I keep seeing people post and/or suggest on Lemmy that the US is overall more liberal than our national representation would suggest. If that's the case, why is the national polling still so damn close!? If I'm not mistaken, national polling reflects the hypothetical popular vote - i.e., no Electoral College bullshit. I even got into a pretty good discussion not too long ago over how voters can pull the Democratic party back to the left - by holding their collective nose and voting for the "left" candidate and holding the party's feet to the fire if they keep sliding right. At this point, any vote that isn't for Harris helps Trump get reelected. Regardless of what anyone thinks will happen in a Harris administration, we all pretty much know what will happen in a second Trump term.

    Yes, the Dems have been pulled to the right by the GOP and the nature of the Electoral College, but an argument can be made that they've been pushed as well by apathetic, otherwise liberal, voters not voting. I get it. Every time I walk in the ballot box, there's a growing part of my brain that wants to vote for the craziest MF'er on the ballot in the hopes that all this nonsense will just burn down so we can start over. So far, the other side of my brain is still winning that argument. I did not enjoy voting for Biden. I won't enjoy voting for Harris. I didn't really enjoy voting for Obama the second time. But I'll still do it because the alternatives (including the "burn-it-down" one, for now) are worse.

    Even though Harris is running as a moderate, progressives are likely to get blamed for her defeat.

    If Harris loses, expect Democrats to move right

    Given the state of the GOP, and who would be beating the "liberal" candidate, this makes a lot of sense. Probably some decent reading for anyone still thinking they just won't vote because Harris isn't progressive enough. She might not be your cup of tea, but I'm betting the other guy is way less so.

    VPS services connecting to local services
  • Just reread you comment and I guess it’s the network that will cause issues. To be clear, I think I can make the cloudflare portion work one way or another (I have a second domain i can use if necessary). If my thinking is correct the tailnet communication would be over that IP space - not trying to route to my LAN net. Unless I’m missing something.

  • VPS services connecting to local services
  • So I learned today that I need to play with the conflate tunnel if I want two systems using one domain. I’m hoping a second api key will help. Honestly, until I tested the second server on the tunnel, that’s been rock solid. Or are you saying using both networks will inject flakiness?

    Also, I appreciate the suggestion of clustered with, but none of this is mission critical. If it’s down until I can login/fix, I’m ok with that. Only a 2-3 people using it.

  • 2024 Self-Host User Survey Results
  • True, it’s a good percentage, and probably better than most free software. That said, given the communities the self hosted apps support, their excitement for the products, and for some the essential nature of some of these apps, it would be nice to see the yes/no number more 50/50 at least.

  • VPS services connecting to local services

    I currently have my home services set up in a way I like, and think I understand. I have an S12 pro w/ *arr, Overseerr, Immich, paperless, etc running. The only things exposed are immich, paperless, and overseerr. This is via swag/dockerproxy over a cloudflare tunnel. This makes it so I don't have to do anything on the cloudflare end or my router to add a new service. DockerProxy picks up a new container, swag configures a reverse proxy automatically (assuming it recognizes the container, but it also supports custom configs) using the container_id as the subdomain.

    I'm looking at setting up a VPS to host authentik and uptima kuma (to start - maybe ntfy in the future). What I'd like to do is have the public interface on these containers use the same cloudflare tunnel I'm currently using... or a second one, if necessary. For the interface back to my home server, I'd like to use Tailscale. I already have it running on my home server, and I expect I'll install it on my VPS. The goal here is the "public" connection uses the cloudflare tunnel, and the backend connection is over tailscale.

    I've tested that I can spin up swag/dockerproxy on a second box in my lab and it will connect to cloudflare. I have not yet tested standing up a container on that box to see if the proxy works as expected.

    So, questions:

    • Tailscale on VPS: container or no? Obviously, if I can't install it locally, I'll put it in a container
    • How to I configure a container to use these 2 networks? I'm fairily good on getting the cloudflare part working. The TS part is new to me, and all the documentation I've seen doesn't really cover other containers using the tailnet.
    • Am I overthinking this? If I put these services on tailnet alone, will the cloudflare tunnel... tunnel back and forth to/from clients not on tailnet?

    2024 Self-Host User Survey Results
  • I think this is pretty troubling. Including myself in the sentiment that the self-hosting community needs to do better. Aside from funding individual projects, are there any organizations that help fund self-hosting projects?

  • Why on gods green earth do people buy gift cards?
  • Since ,my company are such sticklers about not going over our daily meal limit while on travel, and have as yet ignored our requests to just do per diem or use the total from the trip, I often purchase gift cards to fill out an underspent day on travel. An Apple Card or something for some restaurant where my wife likes to get lunch.

  • Casagrande: Auburn forgot how to win

    The last half of the Mizzou game reminded me so much of the most frustrating aspects of the Tubberville years. Auburn would establish a lead, and then play "not to lose." Sometimes, they would squeak out a win against an overmatched team. Far too many times, that overmatched team would come back and tie it up or take the lead!

    For sure, there were plenty of player mistakes on Saturday, but those are always going to happen. There are plenty of underclassmen on this team, and they're going to make mistakes. Going to the "Run-Run-(Incomplete)Pass" offense just because it was a 2-score game is plain old shitty play-calling. I know there was a general call to focus more on the run game going into Saturday, but that doesn't mean the pass game should be forsaken! Thorne dropped a perfect dime for a TD earlier in the game. Yes, that was blown coverage along with a well-run route, but Auburn is not bereft of passers and receivers! Looking at Auburn's possessions in the 4th quarter reflect play calling that was blindly sticking to a predetermined plan while the game slipped away from the team. Auburn's play calling in the 4th quarter was so predictable, it was painful. Seeing Freeze watch Mizzou win the game looked like a man who realized how much he had screwed that win.

    Back in the Tubberville years, a much younger me realized an important thing: if you're not playing to win (or playing to "protect" a win), you're playing to lose. If you were able to score twice in a quarter, you must assume your opponent can do the same. The only time you take your foot off the gas is when the game's end is a foregone conclusion. That's rarely the case at the start of the 4th quarter, and it's never the case in the third quarter. A big reason over matched teams can beat their opponents is because they play like they have nothing to lose. They don't play recklessly, but they take risks early and often. Put simply, they never stop playing to win.

    When you have to dismantle your cocktail before you can enjoy it
  • I don’t like using straws. Plus, it’s a salted rim - meant to pick up some salt when drinking the drink. Honestly, though, kind of surprised you’re the first person to point it out. I means, it’s right there in the picture!

  • When you have to dismantle your cocktail before you can enjoy it
  • I’m not a fan of it either. The rims are too thick to pick up the salt, and there’s not enough diameter to get enough salt for the whole drink. Plus, the curve from the jar to the rim makes it hard to get all of the drink without getting hit in the face by the remaining ice. Just a terrible cocktail glass.

  • The name of the first movie in the original Star Wars trilogy is "Star Wars."
  • Agreed. One thing I’ll give him credit for, though, is his willingness to let others have fun with it. From Robot Chicken to Mel Brooks, he’s been pretty decent with letting folks parody it. He has to have heard about the community surrounding 4k77, and AFAIK there’s been no legal action. All of this is especially Impressive considering Disney’s the one protecting the IP nowadays!

    Beyond that, yeah I agree with you.

  • The name of the first movie in the original Star Wars trilogy is "Star Wars."
  • I stumbled on it during the pandemic. My wife said she wanted to watch all the movies in story order. I was not looking forward to it for so many reasons! When I found this, it started me down a rabbit hole. All the various compilations people have put together is really amazing, and the 4k## stuff, to me, kind of refutes Lucas’ excuses for not releasing the same thing himself. He’s always said he couldn’t do the original film justice because the original film stock is damaged and/or missing. Then this small group of people come along, find something on eBay, and basically do what the fans have been asking for!

  • In Rambling Interview, Trump Blames Zelensky, Not Putin, for Ukraine War
  • Am I the only one who’s just done reading quotes from this asshole? Seriously, it’s like reading a book with no punctuation. Or basic sentence structure. It’s mentally taxing to do, and doesn’t add anything to my understanding of the guy.

    The Tigers may be pretty bad this year...

    … But Vandy just knocked Bama off, and that makes things a tiny bit better.

    It's going to be a long season

    … And I think Hugh Freeze is going to start next year on the hot seat. This is of course unless he finds a way to right the ship and coach these kids to where they should be.

    Something to consider: At this rate, Auburn’s going to be a home underdog against Vandy.

    al.com: Redshirt freshman Hank Brown reportedly starting at QB vs. New Mexico

    Can only think this is a good thing. Either Hank sucks, and the benching is the jab in the gut Thorne needs to rememebr how to play the position, or Hank rocks it and Thorne moves to back-up. Don't want to think about the third, probably more likely, possibility...

    The Governor Who Endorsed Trump To Heal American Politics

    TBH, I kind of get his point, and respect him for his candor. That said, I think he's also aware that he will more than likely be disappointed by his decision. He probably also knows it's only a matter of time before the party completely rejects him.

    >Throughout our 90-minute interview, Cox rejected the “MAGA” label, called Trump and his running mate, J. D. Vance, “antithetical” to his brand of Republicanism, and at various points seemed even to quibble with the idea that he’d endorsed Trump at all. “I said I’m going to vote for him,” Cox told me. “I didn’t say I support everything he does. I’m not even telling you that you need to vote for him.” > > ... > > When Cox addressed the state Republican convention in May, he was loudly booed by Trumpists. Finally, in a fit of exasperation, he spat, “Maybe you just hate that I don’t hate enough.” The race seemed to rattle his faith in Utah exceptionalism. “It only reinforced my concern that there’s kind of been a breach in the stronghold,” he told me. > > ... > > “When we talk about disagreeing better and the work of depolarization, there’s this weird thing that happens to people,” Cox told me. “You start to criticize the people who are polarizing us … and then they become your enemies.” If you’re not careful, he said, you risk becoming a mirror image of the thing you’re working to defeat. > > “That ‘Love your enemies’ stuff—it sucks. I hate it. I wish Jesus had never said that,” Cox told me. But if he was serious about injecting decency and compassion back into politics, he explained, he needed to find a way to work with his political enemies. And within his own party, at least, he could think of few figures who qualified as enemies more than Trump. “To me, this is kind of the ultimate test.”

    2 Swag Instances to 1 Cloudflaire domain

    I have the arr stack and immich running on a beelink S12 pro based on geekau mediastack on GitHub. Basically, and I'm sure my understanding is maybe a bit flawed, it uses docker-proxy to detect containers and passes that to swag, which then sets up subdomains via a tunnel to Cloudflaire. I have access to my services outside of my LAN without any port forwarding on my router. If I'm not mistaken, that access is via the encrypted tunnel between swag & Cloudflaire (please, correct me if I'm wrong).

    That little beelink is running out of resources! It's running 20 containers, and when immich has to make any changes, it quickly runs low on memory. What I would like to do is set up a second box that would also run the same "infrastructure" containers (swag, docker-proxy), and connect to the same Cloudflaire account. I'm guessing I need to set up a second tunnel? I'm not sure how to proceed.

    Do you drink milk from the cereal bowl?

    Do you drink the cereal-flavored milk straight from the bowl? I grew up doing this because my parents taught me how good that milk tastes. As I’ve gotten older, I feel a little self-conscious about doing it in public. It’s not something I notice other non-children doing.

    Editing to add: I do drink the milk from the bowl. As to when I'm eating it "in public:" hotels mostly. Self-conscious was probably the wrong word. I'm more wondering if people silently judge a grown person drinking cereal milk from the bowl. Not losing sleep if they do, just curious.

    SSH through ProxyJump w/ conditional RunCommand

    Trying to do a couple things. I have 2 jump hosts I can use to get into my cluster login node. From my laptop to the jump hosts is password. From jump hosts to login node can be key-based, so if I do it all from CLI: [me@home ~]$ ssh user@jump1 Password: [user@jump1 ~]$ ssh user@login1 [user@login1 ~]$ Same process if I use jump2.

    So first thing I'm trying to do is set up my ~/.ssh/config to use the ProxyJump host and key file to get to login1. I have the following: Host jump1 Hostname jump1.domain Host jump2 Hostname jump2.domain Host login1 Hostname login1.cluster ProxyJump jump1 #ProxyJump jump2 I'm not sure how to configure the IdentityFile entries for each jump host. The user on the jump hosts has different id_rsa keys in ~/.ssh, but both are in the authorized_keys file on login1.

    Second thing I'm trying to do is join or start a tmux session. From CLI, I can run: tmux has-session -t mysession || tmux new -s mysession && tmux a -t mysession I've learned that to just join a running session (tmux a -t mysession), I need to include "RequestTTY yes" in my ssh config entry for login1. What I can't get working is the conditional statement that will fire up a new tmux session if it doesn't already exist.

    Not sure what to think here, but happy we're picking up some OL help. Seems like we're still overlooking this group somewhat. I don't care how good the QB and/or RB are. Without a solid OL in front of them they will not be consistently successful.
