I told you what power the user has. Is it not undemocratic to expect instance admins to associate with people or instances that they find repugnant? Seriously, start your own instance. The barrier to entry is lower than you might think, but you may gain some appreciation for the people who run public instances for free.

How has the user lost any power? The user is always absolutely free to move to another instance. Hell, the user is absolutely free to run their own instance.

Nah, I don’t think that’s the way. When the pandemic and lockdowns hit, I joined up with some other motivated individuals and got to work with mutual aid. There were (and are) a lot of our neighbors that don’t have the resources to “prep” even if they wanted to. We did all we could to bring them hot, nutritious meals, warm clothing, masks, hand sanitizer, condoms, etc. It’s not just that I don’t want to live in a depressing post-apocalyptic world, it’s that I think the real surrender is the atomization. We are stronger together.

Instead of hoarding MREs and ammo, people should be building relationships and more self-sustainable communities. You really want to “survive” huffing your own farts in the basement, guarding your canned beans with a gun?

I’ve played with it a bit. I think I was using something called DockStarter and Portainer. Like I said though, I could never quite grasp what was going on. Now for my home webapps I use Yunohost, and for my media server I use Swizzin CE. I’ve found these to be a lot easier, but I will try Docker again sometime.

If you have all of that set up then, what benefit is there to blowing away your container and spinning up a ‘fresh’ one? I’ve never been able to wrap my head around docker, and I think this is a big part of it.

What about your preferences/configs/files (when you spun up a fresh one)?

Send them weapons.

Nice job haha

I wish all IOF soldiers were in the hospital smh

Debian with Yunohost.

Way too many words for “the US protects its interests”. It will kill, torture, maim, level cities, topple governments, invade, occupy and embargo whenever it sees fit (which is a lot). The degree to which the US does these things is unmatched in scale in contemporary times. All our living presidents ought to face trial at the Hague.

Lol @ “the debate”. I’m not allowed to question the fundamental underpinnings of US aggression towards Iran? You make the claim that Iran is somehow uniquely bad. I responded with relevant arguments that it isn’t. If US policy towards Iran isn’t based on Iran’s ‘badness’ (not unique), then what is it based on? Be honest with yourself.

Fucking hell. Listen to yourself. Any charge you level against Iran is 10 times applicable to the US and its allies. The evil deeds of the west have largely given us the problems we have in the middle east today. How can you be cheering for more US aggression here?

Can you explain to me the differences between Saudi Arabia and Iran, that makes the former a friend and ally to the US, deserving of our high tech weaponry and political support on the world stage, while the other is a villain deserving of annihilation?

Iran isn’t worse than the US or its allies, it just stands in the way of US interests. Those interests which, by the way, are not the fairytales called “democracy” or “human rights” despite what you may want to believe.

What the fuck are you talking about? What conspiracy do you think I’m subscribing to? In which world is Iran a greater purveyor of death and destruction than the US? Certainly not this one. Why should Iran be barred from influence within its own geographic region, while the US is excused for destroying and occupying countries all over that same region? “Very aggressive” indeed. What a joke.

That poor muscular guy was just minding his own business right?

Brace yourselves for the ramping up of anti-Iran propaganda as the US manufactures popular consent for war.

Don’t interfere with the US or it’s vassal states while they are busy comitting genocide.

Do Marxists say that fascism is good for the economy? Fascism is what happens when capitalism runs out of steam. It’s like the death throes of capitalism. The ruling class trying to maintain power over a population disenchanted by the realities of capitalism.

Uh no, hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
