If I remember correctly, you don’t really need Prowlarr. It’s useful if you’re using multiple *arr services, but Prowlarr manages your indexers, the place *arr services look for content, and syncs them to your other *arr services so THEY can do the search. I don’t think Prowlarr itself ever looks for content automatically, only if you manually search through Prowlarr.

Shit, I’d settle for ACTUALLY upholding the constitution instead of green lighting whatever the fuck Trump wants.

I didn’t say anything about “turns”.

Yeah, you did. You likened it to skipping position in a queue. The whole point of a queue is to collectively manage turn order. It heavily implies that it’s someone’s turn next. Maybe you didn’t mean to, but that’s the obvious implication of the phrasing.

On the rest, we’re just going to start going in circles, so I’ll leave it there.

Maybe kinda, but it’s also a third party whose certificates are almost if not entirely universally trusted. Self-signed certs cause software to complain unless you also spread a root certificate to be trusted to any machine that might use one of your self-signed certs.

For me it would effectively be like skipping the queue.

It’s not about whose turn it is. Arguably, that’s how we got Hillary Clinton in 2016, which was the failure that gave Trump a political career.

What it is about is representing your party members. And your party members supported Bernie Sanders.

That’s why I explicitly said people would have to save the money so they could pay their taxes come next April. You’re under no legal obligation to have accurate tax withholdings. It’s only a convenience to make sure you don’t owe a ton at the end of the year. You just have to make sure you properly file and pay up come tax season.

Of course, an increasingly criminal administration might do something illegal to seize withheld funds, but that’s another thing all together. Force their hands and make them do it if they want the money.

I think it’d be a fuckload easier than arranging a general strike. No missed work, no lost income, no need to coordinate a universal date to act on collectively, just a little paperwork and some effort to maintain savings. As more people hear and get upset, the money faucet slowly shuts more and more.

Sure, but compared to right now where your tax dollars are directly funding ICE… I dunno, I’m not sure it’s so clear cut as good or bad.

For sheer size of the US, it can be exceedingly difficult to get all the way to DC. If you can’t fly and have to drive for whatever reason, financial or otherwise, it’s a 39 hour drive going from LA in California to DC. One way. With absolutely no time accounted for bathroom breaks, food, or even sleep. It’s like a three day drive each way. That’s basically a worst case scenario, but also, a ton of people live on the west coast, so it’s not exactly an uncommon one. Unfortunately, the sheer geographical scale of the US makes it very difficult for people to amass specifically in DC.

You’re 100% right, though, that anyone who can do it should do it.

I wonder what sort of impact it would have if everyone who’s upset with Trump’s lawlessness adjusted their tax withholding at work to not withhold anything. They’d have to save the money so they can pay their taxes next April to avoid legal trouble, but in the meantime, federal income could get hamstrung.

I don’t think it’s cultural. I think it’s republicans repeatedly targeting education for decades. I mean have you ever been in a teachers’ subreddit or community? Modern American education is a fucking dumpster fire.

Remember Trump’s “I love the uneducated”? It’s not because he’s friendly, it’s because they’re more manipulable.

Even if legally yes, good fucking luck living through it. If you’re gonna do it, even legally, you better get them all and fucking disappear. At bare minimum, you’re getting an unholy beating by any cop that gets their hands on you. Probably find an excuse to just shoot you.

I don’t. I’m sure it doesn’t.

I use a relatively low spec KVM VPS on another continent. Remember, kids, if all your backups are in one location, you don’t have backups. You have copies.

he is threatening the reputation and profits of the NFL franchise. This is a more dangerous act than the violation of any law

Holy shit, is it physically possible to lick corporate boot any harder online?

No fucking shit, I’m tired of it, too. But grown ups deal with the choices in front of them instead of throwing a tantrum and trying to take their toys and go home. If the thing you really care about is Gaza and Palestinians, you have to deal with the immediate issue, which is that four years of active encouragement from Trump is going to do a fuckload of damage that can’t just be undone, even if your protest does encourage some change from Democrats. Now, Democrats don’t seem to have learned a fucking thing, and Trump is trying to make american soldiers active participants. I understand why you’re upset and why you want change, but the tactics you’re using are actively making things worse. And then, when your protest vote ushers in “the doom of the USA”, who do you blame? The people you refused to vote for because somehow, the greater evil was preferable to the lesser evil.

Or maybe the Gaza detractors should have considered cause and effect. Or listened when Trump outright said what he’d do.

The question is specifically about people who refused to support Harris because of Gaza. Since Trump is so far objectively worse than Harris, seems pretty reasonable to wonder if any of them changed their minds now, even if it is too late.

Oh well it’s in a doodle on the internet, must be gospel-grade truth.

Running a server is very doable. There are packages to deploy and configure almost everything for you and removing a ton of headache.

Getting your email recognized as not spam by the major providers is pretty much impossible. You need all sorts of stuff to help verify integrity including special DNS records and public identity keys, but even if you do everything right, your mail can very easily get black holed before it even reaches a user’s inbox because of stupid shit like someone abused your rented server’s IP years ago, and you can’t seem to get it off everyone’s lists.

Email as a decentralized tool has effectively been ruined by spam and anti-spam measures. You’re effectively forced to use a provider because it’s near impossible to make your outgoing mail work as an individual. I think some of those anti-spam measures are anticompetitive, but I do think some are just desperate attempts to reduce the massive flow of spam.
