She's my favourite of the RWNJs for the sheer degree of entertainment she provided the night she live streamed chaining herself to the doors of Twitter HQ wearing a star of David armband after they banned her.

I wasn't aware she was embedded in Trump's troupe nowadays but that certainly tracks.

"No more money without reform," is the actual line.

Perhaps seeing it distorted as per the headline is to be expected of the Morning Star.

I'm boring and just use Thunderbird nowadays, but sometimes I yearn for those simpler days when I daily drove aerc.

I have opposing opinions

Please do share some opposing opinions rather than just shitting on someone else daring to add their voice to the great chorus of democracy.

I'm sure everyone will have a lot of time to indulge your certainly well-informed and nuanced political opinions.

Agreed. It sure is easy to publicly not be a cunt.

I love the focus on the 'childless cat lady' line.

I think that line epitomises the pointless spite that characterises MAGAism. The constant bullying and insults are entirely unnecessary to their agenda but they just can't stop themselves, and if we end up post-November with them wondering how things might have gone had they not insulted tons of voters this way then I'll find that delicious.

I suppose the counterpoint is that the insults and bullying might well be necessary, that their 'othering' and painting opponents as lesser, more ridiculous, less human enemies is a core part of how such populist fascist movements gain traction. "The cruelty is the point," as some say.

I'm 100% with you on Docker. I haven't used BSD jails in a very long time, but do you have a view on how they compare to other Docker alternatives in Linux like LXC containers and systemd-nspawn?

to run a virtual pipe organ

This sounds like an incredible use case.

I don't think that link says what you think it does.

I think their venture into crypto was a remarkable shift in their proposition, one that led me to immediately end my subscription. I moved to Migadu the same day they announced Proton Wallet.

I think it's a consequence of the weird coalition of competing factions they have to deal with. Among the at least four different ideological groups in the party, ideas are often contradictory between them and lead to the party's policy positions often being weird and hard to predict.

Here, the climate concerned, net-zero, 'public transport is good' crowd lost out until recently to the ecological preservationists and 'green spaces' lot. Recently, the former group also lost out to the NIMBYish group on green infrastructure in Ramsey's constituency, making the party look ridiculous and hypocritical yet again.

I don't know what the solution is but I hope they figure it out and start treating politics a bit more seriously if they're going to be a mainstay in Parliament.

Looks like you can self-host a web version of it, which is handy. Plus it's always nice having open-source alternatives to closed-source, commercially-led apps.

I think it's probably useful to mention the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) here which describes most of the tree structure detailed in the diagram.

The directory layout mostly adopted by most distros evolved over time though, with major differences existing in how distros view usage of different parts of the filesystem, making it more of a standard that documents how the filesystem is laid out rather than one that defines it.

On a personal note, I hated /run for the longest time, thinking it a pointless, redundant quirk that exacerbated inconsistencies across distros. More recently though, I've come to value a space that is now (mostly) implemented consistently as a tmpfs mount from which to handle runtime data.
