The Liberals are happy to lose elections if it means that they'll get their turn again in a few years when FPTP guarantees another run for them.

Debian, with a Kubernetes cluster on top running a bunch of Debian & Alpine containers. Never ever Ubuntu.

These rules are convoluted and near impossible to apply. Specific braking speeds for some objects compared to others? That requires reliable computer vision, which hasn't been demonstrated anywhere yet.

And those speeds? 92mph is 148kph! Why the fuck are cars even permitted to be capable of that when no road in the country allows it? And why would you want to introduce unpredictable braking scenarios at such speeds?

What is feasible is a speed limiter based on the posted limit, but that'd be too practical.

I love this. I can just imagine them paying poor people to drive and protest in their place too.

challenging the place of Zionist leaders in mainstream progressive politics.

We really have to stop conflating Zionism with Judaism. Only the Zionists benefit from it.

Not throwing any shade, just some advice for the future: try to always consider the problem in the context of the OSI model. Specifically, "Layer 3" (network) is always a better strategy for routing/blocking than "Layer 5" (application) if you can do it.

Blocking traffic at the application layer means that the traffic has to be routed through (bandwidth consumption) assembled and processed (CPU cost) before a decision can be made. You should always try to limit the stuff that makes it to layer 5 if you're sure you won't want it.

The trouble with layer 3 routing of course is that you don't have application data there. No host name, no HTTP headers, etc., just packets with a few bits of information:

• source IP and port
• destination IP and port
• A few other firewall-specific bits of information like whether this packet is part of an established connection (syn) etc.

In your case though, you already knew what you didn't want: traffic from a particular IP, and you have that at the network layer.

At that point, you know you can block at layer 3, so the next question is how far up the chain can you block it?

Most self-hosters will just have their machines on the open internet, so their personal firewall is all they've got to work with. It's still better than letting the packets all the way through to your application, but you still have to suffer the cost of dropping each packet. Still, it's good enough™ for most.

In your case though, you had setup the added benefit of Cloudflare standing between you and your server, so you could move that decision making step even further away from you, which is pretty great.

Probably because he cites a lot of stats that might be true, but then couches it in bits the viewer may recognise as misleading.

His attacks on YouTubers for example included Kurzgesagt (which he's used as a punching bag before with some rather shallow accusations) where he suggests that they promote carbon capture. If you watch the actual video though, while it does mention CCS as an option, it's quickly followed by a great deal of caution about how technology won't save us.

The clip with Mark Rober and Bill Gates is another one. That video was about meat-free food, something that I would think this guy would support, but he framed it with voiceover and dark music like it's all a conspiracy to make you complacent while the Big Bad Rich Assholes eat your brain.

I agree with the premise, but I won't reshare poorly-researched propaganda.

GNOME has one built in. Just hit the "print screen" button and it should appear.

I have no idea, but here's a screenshot:

How the hell did we get to the point that saying "maybe you should stop indiscriminately bombing the hell out of civilians" was at all controversial?

I normally like his stuff, but I think he missed a key point this time.

Bullshit jobs aren't about the uselessness of that work. Most of the useless work we do is critical... for the furtherance of capitalism.

Whole swaths of the planet work 8+ hours a day making products worse than they should be, finding ways to squeeze in advertising, tracking, or schemes to manipulate customers into "upgrading". We even burn through skilled psychologists, passing them to design advertising that compels children to badger their parents.

This is the sort of work that only needs to exist because capitalism requires it, and that has a huge effect on people's morale.
