Maybe they were inspired by Boeing to skip the QA checkups on some of those systems 😉

I agree. In my opinion there are two huge dominating factors.

First is the almost ubiquitous winner-takes-all election structure in the US, leading to the two party system. There is, bar none, no fair competition in US government at a level high enough to matter.

Second, the lack of term limits allows certain people in certain positions to perpetuate momentum. In part this happens by hand picking successors through brute-force out funding the competition (in part due to the economic disparity that others in this thread have mentioned).

Cool! Thanks for finding that article. I keep hearing good things about Burlington but wouldn’t know from experience. My understanding is the rest of the state is pretty rural but at least somewhat affordable and small business friendly.

Didn’t Vermont outlaw billboards?

My process for project identification has been:

1. Be annoyed at ads/payment structure/whatever in some app or service
2. Search https://alternativeto.net/ for alternatives to the thing I’m annoyed with (filtering by Open Source and my devices)
3. Try out 1-2 of the top alternatives
4. Settle on what service I want to run
5. Install, route the subdomain, etc. if necessary (otherwise just access via my tailnet)

As for how to deploy, docker / podman are great! With podman I’d recommend looking into their systemd integrations too. Incus is a neat LXC option too, meant more for longer term services (less micro service focused, good and bad).

Hope this helps!

I’m sure the teacher of the high school debate team you’re on would be very proud ❤️

ooh getting aggressive now are we?

I owe nothing to you. Enjoy your time being a sad person trying to bring others down on the internet :) I hope this little outlet makes you feel better

Sure, buy an inverter and burn up 10% of your energy in the conversion if you’re lucky. That inverter will cost roughly as much as the contents of a standard fridge + freezer, by the way :)

At that point just buy a well insulated cooler and always have some ice on hand. It’ll last much longer.

Congratulations, this is the worst attempt at ridicule I’ve ever seen

Now I don’t know enough about electronics to know how wrong this is

Very, assuming the refrigerator in question typically runs on a typical power grid you’d find in the US or Europe (source: am electrical engineer)

Mainly because most compressors I’m aware of use alternating current (AC) motors, or at a minimum accept AC power. Batteries alone produce direct current (DC). The simplest way to make this work would involve an inverter (converts DC to AC). Cheap ones probably have at least a 10% conversion loss, so you’re looking at an hour or two at most.

Edit: should also mention that discharging a typical lead-acid battery until it’s all the way flat (realistically below ~11V) does irreparable damage. Might be cheaper to replace the contents of your fridge :)

This shit feels like I’m back on Reddit. Fucks sake

Real men use Incus NixOS containers for reproducible builds instead of wimpy dockerfiles 😤😤

/s – for real though, I hope someday you finally remove the stick from where the sun doesn’t shine ;)

What no love for Incus round these parts?

How long until “works on my machine” becomes “works on my config”

Maybe you should learn to read the manual or debug your system without hand holding 😉
