Would it be a good idea to initialize a git repository in a directory for config files when deploying a new service?

I'm working on learning more about git, and this struck me as a possible application, but I can't remember anyone suggesting it specifically.

@hellomiakoda The fact that it's a DUNGEON LASER is of course nothing to worry about.

I used the desktop version of Signal for a video chat. It worked quite well.

Someone on here pointed out that adults lament the loss of the creativity of our childhood, but we lost it because we're tired and stressed out all the time.

I could contribute more to the world GMing TTRPGS, or learning to write poetry, or any of a long list of silly projects, rather than sitting at work logging in and out of things and watching progress bars and copying serial numbers into spreadsheets and generally not being able to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes.

Wait, the armor actually protected one of the soldiers from a glancing blow!

Unprecedented!

How the fuck does Amazon know my height and weight?

@dalias @redsad @lilithsaintcrow It's been years since I looked at it, but when I rejected it, it wasn't so much tankies, as class reductionist social democrats.

@revoluciana @elexia I've been going back and forth on municipalism, and it strikes me that a lot of what Trump is doing is withdrawing federal support for anything reasonable, and leaving a gap that state and municipal governments could fill. Meanwhile Trump is antagonizing those governments.

The ICE raids, in particular, are causing alarm with municipal governments. That seems to be a place where we could push back: more democratic and independent municipalities.

@hellomiakoda @Em0nM4stodon As I understand, Kiwix is an offline viewer. The download page includes torrent links, and I don't think that can be dynamically updated; we're downloading a snapshot at a specific time.

I'm curious how often there's a new snapshot.

Arguing for eugenics is unforgivable.

@hellomiakoda When I've heard interviews with Trump supporters, the ones who aren't overt fascists, they seem to have expected policies from him that would have the exact opposite effect of what could be expected.

@silverwizard It doesn't seem like the ISP is blocking Tor in general; I think it's the firewall on my router blocking incoming connections. I've tried to switch exit nodes but it doesn't seem to help.

Turning off "advanced security" allowed me access.

With ProtonVPN now untrustworthy, I was trying to use Orbot on my phone, but my ISP seems to block Tor getting through my router to the Web-facing interfaces of my self-hosted services.

Maybe I need to work out the configuration more, but it's quite frustrating.

No one else was using those services anyway, so I don't know if it's even worth the trouble anymore.

@cwebber It's the year of hoping MS Teams doesn't jump in front of my terminal window again.

@Azuaron @mekkaokereke The little I did high school sports, I was used to teens of both genders expressing mutual respect for each other's performance. Mutual respect and support was a big part of the ethos.

@guyjantic @mekkaokereke Years ago I was listening to a Democracy Now interview with a Deep Green environmentalist, who went on about (European) explorers in North America encountering dense populations of wildlife; he kept repeating, "rivers so full of fish that you could walk across them".

I thought, that doesn't sound like a lost paradise. That sounds like an ecosystem out of balance because of the sudden disappearance of a predator species.

Humans are part of ecosystems, not alien to them.

@cwebber @davey_cakes social.coop should re-evaluate its policy.

Facebook's primary function is propaganda, but don't forget its secondary function of surveillance for political repression.
