dammit! where can I send you my “spat coffee on keyboard” cleaning bill, huh?!

I, like so many others in the us, have family in canada. want to see a hot rebellion in the us? try some bs military action against canada. us leadership would face a decapitation.

damn, man… thats such a common issue that bonds us all! congrats on the recovery.

perchance, banana for scale?

democracy now! is legit a core news reporting source for many unreported and underreported stories. thumbs up for DN!

hero material.

my family contributes $5 monthly to the signal foundation. consider doing the same if you are able.

the entire family uses it personally and for business so its among the best montly contribs we make.

please, I beg of you, control this closely. the citizens united case in the us drove a stake through the heart of this country.

Guy’s a Guinness Book ASll-Time Record Jerk.

absolutely. he’s a chaos machine. and if the pushback/ resistance is not painful enough for america, he will continue doing it.

part of me thinks this is being done to normalize the economic shock - he’s already doing it socially. pull this crap often enough and the markets stop reacting violently.

he also gets to claim that the victims are the aggressors, ukraine style.

All provinces, except P.E.I. and Newfoundland and Labrador, have agreed to remove the obstacles preventing their alcohol from being sold in other jurisdictions.

with typical american ignorance, I ask… what is the reasoning here?

edit: thanks for the information everyone. TIL!

Also, this post is gonna get removed since there’s a ban on US politics on this community

understandable, but unfortunate. there are some genuinely interesting responses.

depending on specs it will be a little power hungry, but a good virtualization platform.

yes, the power supplies are likely redundant and the server will complain if they are not both powered.

it will use a VGA connection, but you should be ale to find cheap VGA monitors or cheap adapters.

RAID controllerfor those drives? how many processors and cores? how much RAM? what OS are you planning on running on it? iDRAC included? (if so, likely idrac6, but still usable)

this hardware is very well supported by linux - I have used these older servers extensively. your boss was right to be excited for you. its a great exploration platform that you will be able to do lots of things with.

fire up a live linux distro and get detailed specs on the box - that will guide what you can play with right away.

running almost any flavor of gnu/linux is good soup given the alternative. enjoy!

(Or VPN and a secure DNS)

properly setup Tor covers both of those. with proper opsec (admittedly quite hard to do), disconnecting the account from an IP or locality is a legitimate part of the protection puzzle.

some instances do block Tor exit nodes, so if your current home instance blocks you will have issues. federation ftw; use an instance that accepts Tor exit nodes.

does anyone know of an instance offering .onion addresses?

overwrite needs to be put out of its misery.

this is next level insanity and I am in awe.

that was waaay too enjoyable a watch. thanks!

trying to do my part; always on the lookout for non {dot}world communities to comment in.

not disagreeing with your overall premise, but do clearly labeled bot news aggregator communities need much interaction right now?

I read many of the articles on bot feeds and will sometimes comment on ones that I think should get a few more eyeballs. others do the same and I appreciate their prodding as well. for my usecase lemmy in its current state has been absolutely wonderful, and I am enjoying watching it evolve.
