  • Aren’t people here conflating intrusive thoughts vs the call of the void? I remember someone explaining it to me a bit like this:

    Intrusive thoughts are often violent and more “you need to kill yourself right now, jump in front of that train!” Or “push that person down the stairs now, do it!!!”

    Where call of the void is much more passive as in “what if/I could I jumped in front of a train right now” or “if I pushed that person down the stairs right now, they would probably get very hurt” and extends to things like “I could just drop my phone in a sewer grate”

    My understanding is that everyone™ gets the second but a lot less people get the first. I also get the second but not the first. I could be wrong because it was a random person that explained it to me.





  • Brown shirts are essentially what ICE and the USAF is right now. Hitler’s thugs that will hurt whoever he wants because they want to hurt people and they get a free pass to hurt “the right” people. They also his their identity “to protect the troops” from people who would do the right thing and confront serial murderers and abusers.

    So congrats on ICE and the arguably most far reaching branch of the US military being drumpler’s boot-deepthroating lackey henchmen.

    In Germany there was a word for people “that were good people just following orders”. Nazis & war criminals







  • Neither are all but the cheapest smart TVs.

    It’s called double and triple dipping. Every single company that can get away with double, triple, quadruple dipping can and does.

    Buying the initial product + Subscription + selling your data + dropping support to force you to buy a new product is quite commonplace. The old mantra of “if you are not paying, you are the product” doesn’t apply anymore because most companies do both.


  • Honestly, crowdsec with the nginx bouncer is all you need security-wise to start experimenting. It isn’t perfect security, but it is way more comprehensive than fail2ban for just getting started and figuring more out later.

    Here is my traefik-based crowdsec docker composer:

    services:
      crowdsec:
        image: crowdsecurity/crowdsec:latest
        container_name: crowdsec
        environment:
          GID: $PGID
        volumes:
          - $USERDIR/dockerconfig/crowdsec/acquis.yaml:/etc/crowdsec/acquis.yaml
          - $USERDIR/data/Volumes/crowdsec:/var/lib/crowdsec/data/
          - $USERDIR/dockerconfig/crowdsec:/etc/crowdsec/
          - $DOCKERDIR/traefik2/traefik.log:/var/log/traefik/traefik.log:ro
        networks:
          - web
        restart: unless-stopped
    
      bouncer-traefik:
        image: docker.io/fbonalair/traefik-crowdsec-bouncer:latest
        container_name: bouncer-traefik
        environment:
          CROWDSEC_BOUNCER_API_KEY: $CROWDSEC_API
          CROWDSEC_AGENT_HOST: crowdsec:8080
        networks:
          - web # same network as traefik + crowdsec
        depends_on:
          - crowdsec
        restart: unless-stopped
    
    networks:
      web:
        external: true

  • Come on, this is Lemmy where every person is a self-enlightened “intellectual” and any argument that they don’t like or don’t have a response for is a fallacy of one of the 2-3 that they can remember at the moment (always strawman and no true Scotsman) and of course then the opposing always completely invalid with no counter argument. (Even that this in itself is the fallacy fallacy lol)

    Every metaphor, simile, or analogy is a strawman,every definition is a no true Scotsman, and every history book, report, research, or scientific studies is an appeal to authority 😉






  • People on all social media really can’t seem to understand that the choices aren’t exclusively “everything has a perfect open source, non-profit utopia” and “fuck it, everyone is corrupt so it doesn’t matter what service you use.”

    You are able to do what you can, where you can, to mitigate risks and try your best not to support fascists. Especially when there are a dozen alternatives.

    Then again, maybe people are just arguing in bad faith.
