Analogies are inherently false equivalences.

It's illustrating the problem with the argument, not equating DRM technology with puppy kicking.

Everything they're willing to tell you they have on you.

There are no "the Lemmy servers", since there is no central "Lemmy" organization to host and run such servers.

So yeah, you can run it on whatever you can find that has available disk space, CPU cycles, and an Internet connection. Hosted VPS, colocated hardware server, raspberry pi, your gaming rig, AWS containers, whatever.

I think the thing in this case is that it is the job of police to pull over a box truck full of human cargo. The implication here is so you think they'd have let a truck they knew was full of immigrants just drive away?

it does not.

.gov.fr. is a subdomain of .fr., unrelated to .gov..

So.... you're afraid of the command that does the thing you're trying to do?

Or how about, rather than your narrow, specific 3 definitions, a fourth thing, such as how it's phrased in the wiki:

Misogyny is hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. It is a form of sexism that can keep women at a lower social status than men.

The emphasis there is why you're being called names on the internet. If you're advocating systems or societal norms of gender oppression, you're being misogynist. This remains true even if you're not doing it intentionally.

The world we live in is deeply patriarchal, so it can be hard to see these problems, because the views and opinions you've got are just "normal". Something being the norm doesn't mean it isn't oppressive, and having an opinion doesn't mean you shouldn't consider the impacts of that opinion.

Generally, if someone calls you a misogynist, and you go "bUt I rEsPeCt wOmEn", you might want to take a little time to figure out where it's coming from. It can certainly be real without fitting in your 3 tidy little self-serving definitions.

I'll also point out that you can replace nearly every instance of misogyny in this thread with racism, and replace women with black, and it would be the same discussion. Or you could swap misogyny/women with misandry/men. Oppression is oppression, no matter who holds the power.

Climate despair is the new climate denial, and these doomer editorials are oil industry propaganda pivoting.

If we can't do anything about it then nothing has to change and rich people keep getting everything they want.

You're confusing a lack of handholding with gatekeeping.

beginner friendly solution, something with a UI, fewer manual configs...

First, you're not entirely right. you can get a ton of self hosting done with things like Synology or Home assistant, and never see the complexity. You might get owned by a botnet, but it "works."

Self hosting securely has a steep learning curve, there's no way around that. What you're asking for is for someone to write programs that'll let you skip the learning curve.

GitHub is littered with abandoned attempts at doing this. You bury your lede by mentioning "your project" at the end. It's your project going to be another well intentioned attempt that's eventually abandoned or causes more problems than it solves?

Yup, was a Garmin. Part of me has been a little worried cause i can't find my way anywhere without GPS anymore, and Google has been getting shittier every day.

Hell, I remember the first time I used maps on a computer to plan and print a route, and the first time I could do it online with MapQuest.

Those were moments that the Internet really felt like the future.

Nah, this is global capitalism blindly moving goods across the planet as quickly and cheaply as possible so all the diseases are spreading thing.

This is super common with motorcycles. The motor should be warm, but not ignite-the-oil hot during an oil change. Clean it up with some brake cleaner.

Use a piece of aluminum foil to make a little drain to direct the oil over the exhaust.

Self hosting principals aside, is this data actually important? If so, then don't fuck around with self hosting it. Are you looking for lowest cost? Then don't waste a bunch of money spinning your own disks.

Amazon glacier to guarantee availability and your own encryption to guarantee privacy.

It's currently running me about $4/month for around 10tb that I don't want to lose but just don't want to deal with. An equivalent HDD solution would be around $500, that's 10 years to break even assuming zero disk failures and zero personal maintenance time.

Plus it's guaranteed. Inherent multiple copies, has SLA, and there's no worry about the service just disappearing. It's they decide to shut down or raise prices or whatever, you can reevaluate and move.

Edit: Glacier and similar services are meant for archival which is the term OP used. You never expect to need it again, but can't get rid of it. Retrieval cost is mostly irrelevant, but yes much more expensive. (I'd wager still less expensive than a home RAID array.)

I'm in a similar place to you, and I've resigned to it being an impossible feat. I'm pretty close to the number for 40, but the curve is flattening. There's no way I retire at 65 with enough to survive to 80.

Those numbers were established during boomer economy years and assume a few things that aren't true anymore:

• infinite 7-9 percent stock market growth, but the modern market crashes every decade or so now.
• linear year over year wage increases that outpace inflation. Really is either flat wages or OP situation of huge jumps. The former makes saving impossible, the latter throws the x percent by decade curve off.
• you should count your home equity in that number, but fewer people own homes, or are underwater on them for far longer.
• the x/decade number assumes a certain amount of income from social security, but that's likely to be stolen by the time we retire.
• those numbers were made before the entire American population was crushed with debt. Student loans and medical, even just modern insurance premiums dig deep into the ability to hit retirement goals.

Basically, good luck OP. We're all going to work till we die.

Docker won't make much sense if you don't understand the underlying Linux systems and/or applications.

It's similar with Wine and Bottles. If you don't get what's in the bottle, then running the bottle won't make sense.

Find tasks that run on the native OS. learn to manage Linux itself. skip containers, Snap, virtual machines, etc.

try running a web server using httpd or something.

Yeah, just make sure you don't make that known during jury selection or you won't get to help.

Don't "declutter" manually. Use your package manager.

Not just early YouTube, it feels like early 2000s Internet in general.

The biggest difference is that by around the late 90s when self hosting and learning HTML became accessible to normies, there was already a shitload of content online. Lemmy kind of has that backward, which is part of the slower growth pattern.
