  • Nearly one in five Tasmanians would vote One Nation, poll shows

  • You still don't know what a communist is. I don't know what upsets me more about people like you, that you might be dumb enough to believe the shit you dribble, or that you are disingenuous and self loathing enough to confidently and stridently shout this shit knowing it is, in fact, shit.

    Either way I think I am done with you, I have consistently delivered reasoned and cogent arguments in all of our interactions, you have dribbled shit. I already have a full time job I can't hold down another one shouting you down. So farewell, I hope one day you can reach a place of understanding that society needs to exist for the benefit of the most people not just the boot that's currently stepping on you.

  • Oh yeah, you are right of course, all the economic indicators around widening wealth gap and shrinking middle class are just communist delusions. You numpty. I am not a communist or an aspiring communist, sorry you picked the wrong boogeyman to assign me. I would probably align with weak Socialism if anything but I do believe democracy can work so social democrat in terms of outlook. Nobody has EARNT a billion dollars ever and the existence of billionaires is a strong sign of the rot that has set in to "free market" economies worldwide. No amount of bleating about different ethnic groups will fix that, but it sure keeps the rubes distracted, so enjoy the taste of those boots as long as you can while "advocating" for "freedom".

  • What do you use for selfhosting cloud storage?

    Jump

  • I set up Opencloud to give it a try, set up to sync my photo folder from my phone, meaning to just spin it up and then delete it. I then got called out of the house on an errand and forgot all about it until 4 weeks later when I redid my WireGuard settings. While the tunnel was failing to connect I got complaints about it not being able to find the server, I knew I had fixed it once it stopped popping error messages at me. Just checked and there is 1.3gb of photos in there I never noticed it syncing. It was a bit of a nuisance to get going but seems to just run as a spot to throw a bunch of files and access them on the go. At least based on my accidental 4 week impact assessment.

  • Cool, and you offer a well documented and open source Conversion platform to run on our own servers I assume? That is after all why you would advertise to the Self Hosting community. If not can I suggest that you, meaning alphaeBook management sit down with whatever marketing drone suggested this as a good idea for advertising, and calmly and gently advise them that they have perhaps reached too far. Their aspirations, while understandable, have outstripped their capability. Then have them take on a role they are more capable of. Do start ups like yours have a mailroom to allow the gentle re-education of such wayward, uh, intelligences?

  • And if you can't see what a bunch of dog whistles all of that is you are as cooked as the people who posted all that in the first place. The numbers are already dropping from the spike after Covid. People are already losing jobs that interact with international markets, for example international education. We need to build more houses... Absolutely. Looks like the government is already trying to tweak the levers to incentivise investment into construction over hoarding existing properties.

    You have been proselytized by the owner class, they own the property, they own the businesses and they own the media and they convince you that the only way to make the smallest of forward steps is at the expense of someone weaker than you. The more time we spend squabbling among ourselves the less time we spend thinking of ways to start taking back the wealth they have stolen from us, continue to steal from us.

    As soon as there are no more Billionaires, no more corporations paying effectively zero tax, no more politicians that are owned by people who's interests are the exact opposite of the public good I will accept there just isn't enough to go round. That is common sense. Australia returning to isolationism will just prove the words of Lee Kuan Yew right.

    We can aspire to be more than peasants. We don't have to hand our government over to the mining companies and their robber baron CEOs. Plus you know once the PHONeys get their way with migrants, it's trans people, then the rest of the LGBT community.

  • Oh it's you... Seriously, why do you think you can see Gina Reinharts lips twitching when Pauline talks. She's a sock puppet. But we as a nation keep falling for the billionaire backed line about how the people even worse off than us are causing problems, not the ownership class. Plus she doesn't fucking run the party with her name on it, it's a bunch of political mercanaries who are just following the money. One Nations was a dysfunctional grift full of money grubbers and PHON is exactly the same thing.

    These people are ignorant, talk to them and hear them rabbit on with the same tired talking points they have been spewing forever, it's racism pure and simple.

    Choose to view them as noble savages all you like, it doesn't change who or what they are. At least they could be honest and fess up to it. I've been racist in the past, I'm not proud of it, but I grew up and realised people are all the same, the language might be different, the cultural perspective might not perfectly align, but we all have the same basic wants and needs.

    There's a reason that these right wingers and pseudo right wingers align so closely with super partisan religions, its all feelings all that way down logic and rationality are actively shunned. While they stamp their feet, stick out their bottom lips and demand they are the only ones using "common sense".

  • More a test on the fundamentals of our government structure. I actually believe not knowing your candidates and their positions is a sign that they aren't communicating them effectively. Not knowing the difference between say State and Federal levels of government means you personally lack knowledge of the fundamentals. If that makes sense.

  • Ehh it's one thing to say you will vote with the rabid racists that are being legitimised by the mainstream mid cycle between elections. It's another to vote that way at the ballot box.

    Plus a significant proportion can intend to vote for the red headed freak all they want. It's a bit more difficult when they have to remember the verbal instructions from the electoral worker, make it to a booth and remember how to write to manifest that desire.

    Honestly, it's the Sky News, Channel Nine, Facebook crowd that will buoy PHON up. The same people who will decry that the left have gone to far because trans people exist, who waffle on about death taxes as though they will have a big enough estate to be affected one way or another, and who talk about having to be economically responsible and living within our needs as a country while ignoring the Billions in corporate welfare and tax cuts for the rich. Fucking Idiots in other words, and yet their vote carries as much weight as mine or yours, its kinda disgusting really.

    A 3 question civics test before you can vote would destroy whole blocs of voters in Australia. Just get them to identify how a progressive income tax works, which country is the biggest greenhouse gas emitter in the OECD, and which parts of the Miranda Rights apply to them, boom PHON gets a dozen votes across the whole country.

  • What software are you using for CAD/modeling?

    Jump

  • I bounced pretty hard off Free ad and ended up using OnShape. I don't feel great about it though.

  • "Upgrading" my Home Server setup

    Jump

  • I imagine there are Caddy GUIs, I just don't find them necessary. The last service I added was the work of 20 seconds to add, I did it while waiting for the Docker pull to complete. I'm not sure a GUI would make that significantly faster/easier. But your mileage may vary. Especially in the initial setup phase.

    I have generally been happy with Proxmox to increase the versatility of my setup. It's so liberating to be able to spin up a simple VM and test something out before commiting to changes. I also have a small old machine that just chugs away with a VM for hosting a couple of containers and only gets updated every few months so its not like it's only useful for ephemeral stuff.

    OPNSense, I use the Asus router it replaced in AP mode, but I do want to ditch that. Strongly considering sitting a couple of Unifi APs up in the field cavity (renter so no drilling holes for me). I have 2 cat6 lines I was able to get run from the garage to the living room (some numpty thought the connection box for the internet should be in the middle of the wall in the lounge room so have to have the cables) so I can get up there, cut and terminate one of the lines and add a switch with POE.

    Honestly OPNSense has been fun, but I barely scratch a quarter of its capability. I could and probably should just use the Asus router as a router.

  • "Upgrading" my Home Server setup

    Jump

  • Oh don't get me wrong I barely scratch the surface of what Authentik can do... It stuck for me because I could ignore the complexity and it was functional with what I know. Especially how easy it has been to onboard users and add new services, especially with regards to SSO(I initially used it just as Auth to replace HTTP Basic).

    I will definitely look at kanidm though. I haven't made a change to the core operation of my setup in a year or so, might be time to give in to the itch.

  • "Upgrading" my Home Server setup

    Jump

  • I found Authentik was the one that stuck for me, Authelia was always a bit brittle. Using Caddy due to a mix of Docker and LXC containers making Traefik seem like a bit too much trouble. I used to use NPM but that was a bit of a pain to get working at one stage and Caddy was the interim solution that hung on. I miss being able to manage reverse proxy via GUI. But for how often I need to map new services 5 lines in a config file to use the wildcard I already have is really no stress.

    I haven't dug any deeper but Proxmox keeps killing my router VM due to OOM at the moment which is a bit of a pain and every time I think I have it sorted it crops back up, only been doing it since the update from V8 to V9. I'm almost at the point where I just scrap Proxmox and run OPNSense bare metal, but it always seems like such a waste to have an N300 box with 16GB of ram and 1 tb SSD driving a small network, 20ish devices and a dozen or so VMs and containerised services doesn't really stress that hardware.

    I initially started virtualising to get around periodic resets of the i226 network cards on my router box. Was kinda wild that virtualising and using Virtio was so much more stable and consequently faster than running on bare metal. Wonder if that's changed since then.

  • Hey,

    Like the look of the app so far. I will be spinning up a local server when I am not coming off a morning shift, and see if I can get a pass on the WAF.

    Just a quick question, being in Australia the bulk of our food metrics are in kilojoules, I have selected this as the default energy measure however there are a few areas where I am still getting calories presented.

    For example in the Diary I am getting kcals on both the food and the summary. I imagine you do everything in calories and this just slipped past but wondering if I missed a setting?

    Also I had a quick scan and like that the AI integrations are optional but I was unclear if AI was used to code the project, do you have a position on that?

    On the whole I am liking what I see so far.

  • The existence of Billionaires is the most diagnostically relevant symptom of the inevitable terminal nature of capitalism. Capital exists to accumulste in ever more dense focii until it is all owned by the smallest number of people. The way to prevent that is governance, unfortunately governments are susceptible to the power of capital so over time they fail to acts against the interest of capital.

    If we had started on "net zero" as soon as the problem of climate change became apparent we would have had a smoother transition, every day we delayed we ensured that it would be a more traumatic process but we let the ultra rich muddy the waters for decades and now it's going to involve some pain.

    If we had gotten ahead of renewables and kicked off our own manufacturing base in the 90s we could have been ahead of the game, instead we let a bunch of rich fucks get away with robbing us blind.

    I had a guy the other day tell me it's a myth that fossil fuels are depleting because they aren't really fossil's they are just some mysterious exudate the Earth generates, so we can drill and mine forever as it will never go away, oh and all the changes in the weather are just made up as we sat in shorts and T-shirts with the air conditioner on in Tasmania in the last full week of April.

    I can never figure out why people get so up in arms about China when the USA owns a fuck load more Australian land and business. Let's face it, the US knows they don't need to use lube or ask permission to fuck us and they are at least as bad as China in almost every respect. The main difference I see is that in China the billionaires are owned by the government, in the USA it's the other way round.

  • Yeah, one more drink won't hurt, we can stop any time, it's not a problem.

    Actually I'm going to go a few steps forward and let coal and forward get used, but remove every tax breakand subsidy from them. The second a Billionaire starts threatening to take their money elsewhere start nationalising for the sake of the workers.

    We need to start treating the existence of billionaires as a sign of serious imbalance and imminent failure.

  • We should absolutely be making our own solar and batteries, a smart government would have included some money in the budget towards kick starting and incentivising that, they could call it Future Made in Australia.

    The problem with Nuclear is that it requires multiple decade commitments to be practical, we have an entire wing of politics which actively wants to take retrograde steps to keep us on gas and coal as long as possible, the next time they are in power they will find ways to go slow on nuclear.

    You are right that the best time to start is decades ago, but starting it now will result in us making Hinkley Point look like a model of efficiency.

    What we need is to develop our grid in distinct achievable packets of work to minimise the Liberal parties opportunities to piss all over modernisation to help their billionaire buddies.

    I have had multiple people show me that 7 Spotlight propaganda piece and try to tell me this is why renewables are a scam, then get defensive and rude when I ask which liar they want me to listen to, the Journalist turned fossil fuel PR flack turned "Veteran Journalist" (who works for a company owned by a billionaire), the politician (and member of a climate denial club called Saltbush that counts a certain mining magnate billionaire as a member) that wants us to build out coal and concedes we should probably do nuclear at some stage, the "conservationist" who won't admit who is funding him and appears to be a compulsive liar.

    We need to get rid of coal and gas as quickly as possible, we need to reduce our usage of fossil fuels in the transport sector, and we need to kick start local manufacturing and R&D. Once we have a reasonable level of security we can start building out capacity for the next century, until then I worry we will be debating and procrastinating until the rest of the world overtakes us... Or worse, laps us.

  • Cool, what's your prescription professor, we going to buy solely Australian made equipment for all future infrastructure?

    Oh wait, we were so beholden to preserving profitability of our extractive indutries that we effectively offshored the lions share of our manufacturing sector. Worst part is we have all the raw materials we need on shore to support modern battery and renewable generation technology, but we let our billionaires piss it all away.

    Now we are going to get xenophobic about where we source our infrastructure from?

    Let me guess we are going to somehow make nuclear cheaper than renewables, somehow kickstart our own nuclear construction capacity from effectively nil, and then we are going to have a properly "'Straylyan" energy grid.

    Yet again I ask, what part of the fossil fuel industry are you employed in and do you feel guilty that you are willing to let your ideology get in the way of pursuing the cheapest most effective way of pushing forward?
