Thank you for this reply

Can you give a top 5 list of things you disagree with in regard to the CCP?

Mom was 18, Dad 20 when they had my brother.
Mom was 20,Dad was 22 when they had me.

Mom was a narcissist, dad a weakling so no standing up for himself or the kids.
They lived as teens/tweens and had no handle on life nor how to raise kids.
One set of awesome grandparents, one set that severed contact with me and my brother 3 times.
I tried to kill myself at 13.

Dad severed contacts with me and my brother twice.

Mom got alzheimer at 58 and died soon after, was not allowed to attend funeral.

All in all I like my current life and have a great partner and two lovely kids. Awesome group of friends as well.

They should have never met, never have kids and certainly not at that age. It fucked me up something fierce.

Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast!

Yep, you can. Came as a surprise to me as well at the time but you definitely can.

You probably got this already if you look ta the Tesseract page and how this all works but I wanted to share with you my docker-compose file to give you an idea how I did it. I find it helpful to look at examples of others sometimes.

Good luck!

If you like you could run Tesseract locally and use that as your UI front-end. It has filtering options and I quite like the overall look and feel of Tesseract.

I have it running on docker, route my nginx through it towards that container, works like a charm.

But then again, it seems the Lemmy developers are once again in “I don’t give a f*ck” mode and keep breaking the API. This has basically made the developer of Tessaract give up on that project it seems: https://lemmy.world/post/26779656

Rant: as popular as Lemmy seems to be right now and continues to grow, we need some serious developers to work on Lemmy, not some snowflake child communist-wannabe nutjob. There, I said it.

Lemmy cares about their own ideology and nothing else.

no i don’t, therefore you lie. why would “we” listen to a liar?

So in simple terms, you propose to build a mom-and-pop shop and have it act like a global player like Amazon?

Congrats, it does not happen very often I sit in a chair and stare at the screen in disbelief!

So always assume some piece of knowledge is not obvious for someone out there and share

You just described a thing of mine I cannot help but do; explain the ever loving crap out of things
I need to be careful with that though as relatives start to complain and push back on me telling things over and over.
Thing is, until I see a full comprehension on the other side on what I try to convey I just keep explaining in variations, keep finding metaphors and keep pestering you until you ‘get it’. Some say it is a virtue, some say it is a hindrance.

I have had therapy on this… 😂

I use NPM in a docker container. It could not be easier in my opinion but then again, I did not use any of the alternatives so I might be missing out on something, who knows. I did manage a couple of proxy servers in the past based on Apache and I can tell you that NPM is much easier and logical to me than that.

Just create a compose file and start it. Create DNS records pointing to your NPM IP address/exposed IP and make a host in NPM sending traffic to the right container IP:port. The compose file is super simple, could not be easier. Here’s mine for example:

services:
  nginx-proxy-manager:
    container_name: nginx-proxy-manager
    image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'
    restart: always
    ports:
      - '80:80'
      - '443:443'
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
      - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt

I just make sure ports 443 and 80 are exposed on my router so DNS records can point to that IP adrdess. All traffic on port 80 gets re-routed to 443.

I’m probably stating all the obvious things here 😀

That is not correct, I tried to explain and guide, you do not listen. Behavior of a troll and will be treated as such. On the blocklist you go…

I just don’t think this is all due to hippies in the 60s. 🤷‍♂️

I am sad and disappointed you failed to grasp what I meant in my diatribe of a post and keep pointing to hippies. I knew the moment I typed that word, bam, it would be someones focal point. So this one is on me, mea culpa. Now please, pretty please with cherries on top, stop referring to hippies as being the center point of my argument. You could not distill this from my post, again my mistake, but if you continue referring to hippies as my argument then that is from now on on you.

Have a good one.

A war is never won without losing battles. I agree a lot has been achieved, this is true.

Remind me though, what is going on right now on the items you mentioned? And what about that liberal icon called Roe v Wade? Or what about hose rascals at the supreme court? Or what about the older SC justices that will be replaced with better indoctrinated and younger justices? Sure, they take losses but those are short term to them. To them this was to be expected and took the long term vision. Losses are to be expected, like I said wars are not won cleanly, you lose some battles once in a while. I’m not saying they won the war but I am saying that the left is hopelessly incapable of thinking long term. For example, what are the plans on getting liberal justices in the SC? Do you have any idea? I don’t, perhaps they have some super duper secret genius plan to correct the imbalance? Or could they be so utterly incompetent that they are left standing clutching their precious minor participation trophies while the bigger ones somehow all end up with the right? And yes, if I make it sound like a ‘game’ or ‘match’ then you better believe I am. Not because I want to but I do recognize the nonsense coming our way is treated as such and it is successful. So better buckle up and start playing the game or…stand against the wall and pouting.

I know what you mean and you are not wrong, of course some liberal items got through in society. However, long term planning by conservatives has chipped away at those as you must be aware. And you cannot have missed the massive support for the right at the moment, in the US but also globally. This is not only a US problem, this is a global one.

Anyway, I feel like I am on a rant and the question was: what is your insight or explanation for that split in the graphic and well, this is mine. So for the sake of my sanity and peace of mind I will now stop explaining or getting into detail, it will change absolutely nothing but has all the markings of getting me down and sad. F that shit.

No, you misunderstood. The 60’s was a social shock to the conservative system. They responded. And you can complain about conservatives (I know I do) but you have to give it to them on the long term planning bit, they got that on lock.

The inability to plan, push, execute and claim to keep society ‘left’ was a serious flaw. Conservatives had no such problems, they created systems to alter the course of society. The rise of the religious right in the late 60’s and 70’s influenced the creation of conservative think tanks, for example.

We are seeing the effects of this conservative push-back till this very day.

PS: the generation coming out of the 60’ is my parents generation. I find it ironic that a large part of that generation became conservative monsters. They are the very definition of ‘pulling up the ladder’. I have seen it up and close this change and I despise that generation of weaklings.

No sources from me but speculation. It’s the decade before, the 60’s where focus was on people, freedom, honest compensation for labor and social equality.

I know I will get push-back on this, it being perhaps to simple of a theory or me missing key elements. I will die on this hill though, it was the hippies.
The conservatives around the world got a collective heart attack from the 60’s and what transpired therein and this is when conservatism started to plan on breaking those wild communist activist freeloaders. We can see the effects today still. Mismanagement from the ‘left’ (or better yet, the world at large tbh) to capitalize on the spirit of the 60’ and truly change society. The focus on business and the suppression of those pesky ‘hippies’ and/or ‘communists’ started to gain traction and voila, there is the divide of the two lines somewhere in the 70’s.

For good measure, I have nothing against the 60’ and hippies, just pointing to these as a ‘shock to the system’ as an explanation for what happened in the 70’s and what we see today.

I tried today, about 4 hours ago I guess? And this is about MySQL but perhaps the MariaDB issues are related? Anyway, I know it works for some (most?), just not for me and my attention span has only so much to spend on a graphing tool for db’s so I’m good. I was just curious, tried it out and failed. That’s all there is to it tbh. And as it was the very 1st step, I was immediately done as I have no clue what else will not work for me and I have only so much time and energy for project like this.

Tried it out on https://app.chartdb.io/

Tried the generic and v5.4 scripts for MySQL to generate the schema information.

Both returned [NULL]

MySQL is running on Docker and I use DBeaver to access it. MySQL is version 8.4.0.
I stopped trying to use the app after that tbh

You got some good replies and I personally am enamored by LocalSend, it is worth checking it out.

However, there is a simple way if a) you use whatsapp and b) the devices involved have access to whatsapp.
This involves not just sending files but you can send text and whatever whatsapp supports and you’ll have a history of these chats should you need to have them later again. Probably possible with other platforms but I use whatsapp so that is what I setup for information transfer to myself.
The thing you want to do is create a chat group, add a friend for a very brief moment, remove said friend again after they accepted, enjoy your private group where you can dump any and all info into and pick up from wherever you have whatsapp available. The trick is to add a friend for a couple of seconds. If you create a group you are automatically in it but you cannot use it until you add someone else, then it becomes active and use-able. The fact that you end up alone in that group does not make it unavailable again. Weird but it works.
