so i got an email this morning reminding me to renew and they told me not to look at the breakdown. they told me "just donate and move on." but I looked.

these screenshots are proof that the "means of production" are heavily skewed toward one developer over another. someone get lenin on the phone, because this distribution of wealth is a joke. i’m not mad, i’m just documenting history for the proletariat uprising.

anyone know why my comments in this is thread disappear immediately after posting?

my home server that does everything died many weeks ago so i've been making due with VASTLY inferior backups that literally haven't received updates in over a decade because the manufacturers stop supported them.

i've rebuilt this server many times from old e-waste i had laying around and my last attempt to solicit feedback on the last rebuild yeilded some VERY useful advice so i'm hoping to lightening strikes twice.

my constraints are that i can only use hardware that i have on hand; with the exception of a motherboard since i don't have a functional one this time around, so i plan on buying one used off of craigslist or one of the many local repair shops.

also: deepseek tells me that this hardware are the only things i have on hand that are compatible with each other (and i'm crossing my fingers in the hopes that some of them still work):

• CPU: socket LGA1200 era Intel Celeron
• RAM: 64 gigs DDR4 3200 on 2 128 pin sticks
• CASE: mini itx steel case
• POWER: ATX standard
• DRIVES: 4 SATA, 1 PATA, 2 NVME

i also have a wifi3 router/ap and a wifi4 router/ap combo boxes; these are the backups i'm currently using and they are crazy slow.

i need this build to do the same thing its predecessor did which were (ranked in order of importance):

• router (i used a pfsense virtual machine last time)
• wifi access point (i last used a wifi nic in AP mode)
• DNS adblocking (i used pfBlockerNG last time)
• live kernel patching (used ubuntu last time)
• vlan segmentation (via pfsense)
• vpn routing (via pfsense)
• jbod drives (aka no raid nor HA and permanently mounted on the host)
• backup capabilities (last used rsync initiated server side to laptops & - gmail)
• per device firewall rules (for the robot vacuum and security cameras)
• IDS & IPS (via pfsense)
• home cloud storage (last used pfsense + nfs + sshfs + ddns)
• multimedia system (last used kodi + old plasma tv)

I see you. Lol

Shamelessly stolen from rednote

take it with a grain of salt; ramos [the guy in the pic next to his daughter] is a US imperialist to the core.

The initial answer was mild, condemning the repression in both countries but declining to call them "dictators." However, his campaign sent a much more contundent position days after the interview:

" I want to be clear on where I stand. I believe both Nicolas Maduro and Miguel Diaz-Canel are dictators. Their administrations have stifled free and fair elections, jailed political opponents, and suppressed the free and fair press. And yet, our federal government's long history of punitive policies toward both countries, including extrajudicial killings of Venezuelans and the continuation of a decades long blockade of Cuba, have only worsened these conditions. Democratic socialism is about dignity, justice and accountability. And above all, it's about building a democracy that works for working people, not one that preys on them."

madeline pendelton playing out the typical conversation flow between a leftist and a liberal about american actions in destabilizing ukraine.

tldr: you get called a tankie for pointing out the things that the american gov't publicly admits it's doing to ukraine. lol

tldr: ex president AMLO's policies lifted 13+ million out of poverty; but the united states is going to reverse it soon.

i updated my email address in my efforts to de-google myself and i got the email asking to confirm my new email address; but when i do it it just hangs.

how can i find out if my new email address took?
