I think we're at the part in Animal Farm where the windmill fell for the first time. https://youtu.be/uqH_Y1TupoQ?si=0t30EUUTIjtzoowh

For those looking to actually not getting tracked (except for my nginx logs that are rotated, cleared and forgotten about anyway): https://piped.30p87.de/watch?v=uqH_Y1TupoQ

ackshually'd again bahaha. Can someone point me in the direction of where to get started in the piped game?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Grindr has been a big help in me getting piped.

You just had to say it, didn't you?

Most official/big instances get banned by youtube pretty quickly. To host your own, you essentially just run one docker compose, that's it. If you want it to be public, you'll need a public IPv4 and configure a reverse proxy (eg. nginx).

Could I host my own on a desktop and make it semi-public only to me so I can use piped from my phone? Is this too ambitious for a newbie to the self-host game? I've only ever hosted a simplex smp and xftp server(I just ran a script and it worked OOTB)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

That would only work easily in your own network. As soon as you want access from other networks (mobile/work/etc.) you need to:

  • Get a public IPv4 from your provider. I got that easily, but idk if your provider can and will do this. Otherwise, there are proxy services.
  • Open port 80 (http) and 443 (https) in your router.
  • Very likely buy a domain (which is 1.4€ - 10€ per year, depending on the name and tld).

What does a windmill have to do with anythjng

Allusion to Animal Farm, which is relevant to the discussion about class warfare.

Animal Farm by George Orwell is a novel about farm animals taking their farm back from the farmer who owns them. After a while of having core tenets, their first and most important rule "All animals are equal" suddenly gets appended with "...But some are more equal than others." After this, the events are heavily based off of the rise of Communism*, and more specifically Leninism throughout the newly formed Soviet Union.

*Not to say that the entire book isn't an allegory for the rise of Communism but that's the way writing this brief summary sounded well in my head.

OK that's cool, it explains a lot of times I've heard it mentioned in media but if I knew it was george orwell it might have clicked funny thing is I've listened to ode to catalonia I think it is but must have just blindly passed animal farm

Several tangents removed, listen to Pink Floyd's Animals. It is their best album. It is about this book. It is not for children.

Can't the attorney appeal the verdict in the US?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In criminal cases, the rule against “double jeopardy” means the government can’t appeal a “not guilty” verdict. The defendant can still appeal a guilty verdict though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Interesting. Do you know why it is like that in the US and not in some other countries? Is it because the jury makes the decision?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It’s a consequence of how courts interpret this part of the US constitution. That provision was based on common law so i would imagine some other related legal systems might have something similar, at least historically.

In the context specifically of nullification, the CGP Grey video referenced by OP covers exactly this, but to summarize: the combination of that rule with another principle (that juries can’t be punished for their decisions) creates the concept of “nullification”. If the jury believes that a defendant is guilty but returns a “not guilty” verdict, the defendant walks and the jury can’t be held legally responsible either.
