Millennials grew up with some pretty awesome movies. Gen Z and Alpha grew up with some pretty awesome video games. Makes sense.

Titanic. I was just a kid. My mom responded to the criticism from other parents for letting me see a boob by saying “well, now he knows they don’t all look like momma’s.”

Those words haunt me to this day.

But did you smash? /s

About one genocide more.

Because he streamed. Streaming turns to swatting nearly every time if you don’t protect your location information.

Nobody knows how long the 9 lives are!

Completely agreed. Since the 90’s, the primary lesson democrats have learned is to never cross Wall Street. This is evident in their policy to not implement serious reforms during their terms and then wringing their hands when republicans pull the rug even harder a few years later.

It may give them money they need now, but they’ll find themselves beholden to the same masters as Republicans if they don’t shift back to real liberal ideals soon.

I am very relieved that it looks like Donald won’t win, but I’m also not excited about a Kamala Harris presidency either.

Why do you care what they use? You are factually correct, but everyone knows that end user experience trumps all, and familiarity is a huge factor in that.

Let Meemaw have her picture box the way she likes it.

Dallas. We pretty much only went to houses and did everything indoors. There are essentially no sidewalks there, so leaving a neighborhood without a car was impossible.

I can’t think of a single time that I was in a public place totally alone before I could drive. The first time I walked to a convenience store with a friend, I felt like I was going to get in trouble. I later realized how much my upbringing delayed my ability to mature as a young teen.

Saint Jerome as the Representation of Melancholy - Farrukh Beg (1615)

Farrukh Beg (Persian: فرخ بیگ; c. 1547 – after 1615), also known as Farrukh Husayn, was a Persian miniature painter, who spent a bulk of his career in Safavid Iran and Mughal India, praised by Mughal Emperor Jahangir as "unrivaled in the age."

Hello Lemmy!

I have moved to a walkable area and no longer need to have my car keys on me all the time. My landlord has put in a crappy 4 digit combination style door lock, but said I could change it.

What is the best kind of keyless door lock that I can use instead? Ideally one with decent enough security to be as good or better than a key?

Thanks for your input!

[Promoting] Gluetun: The Little VPN Client That Could

My journey with docker started with a bunch of ill fated attempts to get an OpenVPN/qBittorrent container running. The thing ended up being broken and never worked right, and it put me off of VPN integration for another year or so.

Then recently I found Gluetun…and holy fucking cow. This thing is the answer to every VPN need I could possibly think of. I have set it up with 3 different providers now, and it has been more simple and reliable than the clients made by the VPN providers themselves every time.

If you combine the power of Gluetun with the power of Portainer, then you can even easily edit settings for your existing containers and hook them up to a VPN connection in seconds (or disconnect them). Just delete the forwarded ports in the original container, select the Gluetun container as the network connection, and then forward the same ports in Gluetun. Presto, you now have a perfectly functioning container connected to a VPN with a killswitch.

So if any of y’all on the high seas have considered getting more serious about your privacy, don’t do what I did and waste a bunch of time on a broken container. Use Gluetun. Love Gluetun. Gluetun is the answer.
