It’s my anniversary, so I’m looking forward to having a nice dinner.

The third world government of Texas for one. Whether they target my kid or not, better safe than sorry.

Because we seem to value punishment over rehabilitation or even justice, most people in Texas will be very happy to hear about this change. They see prisoners more like animals than human. For example, most Texas prisons don’t have air conditioning. Imagine being in a room at 100+ degrees and high humidity with no fan. How long until you snap?

Aside from what the other commenter said, this is something I’m looking for for my daughter and believe it or not she prefers an app.

Also, this is the self hosted community. People self host all kinds of stupid shit. Why are you here?

According to NPR today the families won’t receive money. They will get work visas and an interview with an asylum officer. No actual compensation for the years of trauma caused by being separated from your kids or parents. It’s monstrous. The explanation on why there is no financial compensation was that the republicans were against the cost. They are truly evil people. The absolute lack of humanity makes me physically sick.

Thanks. I’m trying.

Thanks stranger!

Why am I limited to 5 a day?

Thank you!

You can only obtain federal Indian benefits if you have a CDIB (blue) card, and sometimes you will also need a tribal enrollment card. You would have to verify your ancestry with the tribe to get those. Calling yourself Indian on the forms won’t hurt anything except risk termination if they claim you lied on you application.

I would also like to know this. Everyone talks about it but I have no idea how it’s different than anything I’m doing now. Is it like Tailscale?

I got lemmy.cyou when I thought I could figure out how to host, but can’t seem to get my compose file right.

As I mentioned, it is probably something that most of the people here would think of right away, but for those like me who don't have a wired connection to their router due to whatever reason, this can speed things up. This post was intended to help people like me looking for a faster way to degoogle.

I love my Synology. It is my gateway to self hosting. Get one that can run Docker and you’ll scratch most of the itches.

I just picked up Wingspan for 50% off so nothing yet. But I’m open to ideas.

It's not a cheap hobby, but self hosting is fun. Learning more about Docker has made it a great way to learn self hosting. I guess Synology is like training wheels in the self hosting community, but when you only know Windows, it's a good introduction to Linux, servers, networking, RAID, and a ton of other topics.

The units aren't expensive when you compare it to the storage drives. I use a DS918+ which has 4 bays, and I have 14TB drives in each one. This is much more space than I need, but you always end up with more than you expect. I'd say each drive is probably $250 each right now.

The example docker doesn’t work out of the box and I suspect Synology has something interfering (that’s usually the case). Marius has some excellent guides that (nearly) always work on Synology.

No, it's older than that I think, but I'm not directly connected due to where my PC is in the house. This worked out perfectly for me, though. The firefox container jumped the speed from about 5mbps to 50mbps

Yeah I did 2GB files because I expected to download through the browser and didn't want anything to time out and fail in the middle. I never expected how slow it would be though. Moving to the docker container made things a lot faster. It went from 5mbps to 50mbps.
