  • Most Trump tariffs ruled illegal by appeals court, dealing major blow to trade policy

    Jump

  • Ok well, just going to point out the obvious here - SCOTUS has not yet heard the case, so while they may be the last stop, this issue hasn't gotten to that last stop yet.

  • Backup/Server Options - is Syncthing / Nextcloud really the go?

    Jump

  • Adding to what everyone else has already said, you want sync and backup.

    Sync to a central location and backup from there.

    For sync, you want syncthing or nextcloud. I would lean towards syncthing for media. If you had a million files in a complex folder structure and a dozen users with different access requirements and instant sync and collision protection is important then nextcloud might be the go. Otherwise syncthing is much more manageable.

    My recommendation with syncthing, which is not obvious, is to set up a single hub which each client syncs with. By default you end up with a mesh where everything is connected to everything. It's very difficult to manage with a lot of folders and devices. Turn off discovery and input the server / hub details manually.

    For backup, if you have a lot of media you want deduplication. If yesterday's backup included ABC and today's is ABCD you only want to transfer D. This is similar to an incremental backup, but the subtle difference is that with deduplication the most recent backup is the "full backup" with the "diffs" going backwards in time, allowing you to purge old backups. I like borgmatic but there are others.

    I would also consider carefully exactly what is worth backing up on what service. I don't backup movies and tv series at all.

    My final recommendation is, it's critically important to test deploying your backups regularly.

  • It doesn't, but we all know the rumors of his death were exaggerated.

  • The appeals court made a ruling. They said it won't apply until October 14, knowing that the Trump admin would ask SCOTUS to hear the case.

  • The context line for the article says:

    The appeals court stayed its ruling until Oct. 14, giving the Trump administration time to ask the Supreme Court to hear the case

  • Just because you don't intend to insult someone doesn't mean you're not ignorant.

    It doesn't take really any empathy at all to recognise that someone might prefer to be called an undocumented immigrant rather than an illegal one.

    I think people really are used to being called the wrong thing, or the wrong pronouns. In reality, if you accidentally misgender someone they often won't bother to correct you if you're merely a passing acquaintance, but if you're more than that they might politely correct you in a non-confrontational way.

    People being upset about someone making a genuine mistake and calling them the wrong thing is not the norm, and if someone did that it would be pretty weird.

    The term "illegal immigrant" may be a description, but I'm sure you can recognise that it's not a very dignified one. You probably don't refer to people you like as "that fat guy" or "that woman with the huge ass", despite those phrases being descriptive.

  • Calling someone an illegal immigrant to their face can be an insult

    So why would it be ok to refer to a person that way just because they're not around?

    This meme is a commentary on how to teach kids to treat others in a dignified and respectful way.

    The same way retard became handicapped and suddenly out of nowhere handicap is not dignified enough, so it became disabled.

    That's true. The progression of language in this way is well documented. It doesn't diminish someone's entitlement to feel offended at being referred to as a retard. It's just how dignity, respect, and language works.

    When referring to other people, it's a common courtesy to consider how they might like to be addressed, and to use that term. It doesn't matter how you feel about the phrasing or what you would have called them a few decades ago.

  • I don't really understand what you're getting at.

    Obviously there are words which are in themselves an insult. There are also words which are not, and there's a spectrum of different words in between which are more insulting or less insulting or insulting in specific circumstances.

    Undocumented migrant is clearly a more dignified way to describe someone than describing them as an "illegal" immigrant.

  • I may swear like a pirate, but I'm a fucking PRINCIPLED pirate

    Jump

  • Describing a person as an "illegal" immigrant is dehumanizing, given that only acts can be legal or illegal, not people.

    "Undocumented" immigrant is the generally accepted term.

    It doesn't really matter which you feel is the more accurate or better term. For all intents and purposes they have the same meaning, and one is clearly more dignified than the other.

  • Same as always. They'll just appeal and delay and keep repeating that until they get a judge that will toe the line.

  • Context: Docker bypasses all UFW firewall rules

    Jump

  • Sure but thats an angular app, and you already know how to manage its environment.

    People self host all sorts of things, with dozens of services in their home server.

    They dont need to know how to manage the environment for these services because docker "makes everything so easy".

  • Context: Docker bypasses all UFW firewall rules

    Jump

  • I dont really understand the problem with that?

    Everyone is a script kiddy outside of their specific domain.

    I may know loads about python but nothing about database management or proxies or Linux. If docker can abstract a lot of the complexities away and present a unified way you configure and manage them, where's the bad?

  • Context: Docker bypasses all UFW firewall rules

    Jump

  • Not really.

    Both docker and ufw edit iptables rules.

    If you instruct docker to expose a port, it will do so.

    If you instruct ufw to block a port, it will only do so if you haven't explicitly exposed that port in docker.

    Its a common gotcha but it's not really a shortcoming of docker.

  • I cant believe i have to explain this but...

    There's lots of ways you can refer to people. Some are respectful, some are not.

    This might shock you but some parents teach their kids to be respectful of others. Avoiding labelling people in ways they might not appreciate is a good start.

    It may be a "fact" that someone is an "illegal immigrant" but I'm sure you can see that term is intended to portray the person in a specific way.

    Its also a fact that such a person is an undocumented migrant trying to feed their family, or maybe even an asylum seekers fleeing persecution.

    So yes, representing facts in a racist way is racist. Well done.

  • All three officials came to the CDC headquarters to clear out their offices and, as they left the building on Thursday afternoon, were followed out by hundreds of workers who cheered them and thanked them for their work at the agency.

    What does this actually mean?

    They followed these guys out to the car park and then turned around and went back to their desks?
