This invokes the overpopulation myth, the reductive belief that the planet would somehow be “better off” without humans (importantly: how would you make that happen?), and perhaps, projecting the environmental sins of one’s own culture onto all of humanity.

I don’t know if these count as actual eco-fascism when the target is the entire human population, but it’s certainly adjacent.

Nah. This is some eco-fascist/primitivist type shit. Fuck that.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst-ass computer (agree, it looks great!)

I don’t have any secrets in my config or a private key or anything and I’m currently running 4 servers from the same config (it used to be 8 or even more machines at some point even, including desktops).

But yes, it’s a multi-file config, it would be absolutely crazy to not split it up with how large it is.

Oh gee I wonder why depressed kids are increasingly online where they are more free to express themselves, in a society where mental health problems are very stigmatized and confiding in someone that you want to kill yourself can get you imprisoned.

Also, related post on the general concept of internet addiction and gambling social media addiction.

going to bat for the concept of internet addiction as someone under 80 is spectacularly funny

damn people are spending a lot of time on the combination newspaper/public square/vast searchable library of incomprehensible amounts of information/storefront/private communications/some people’s actual job technology. presumably there is some nefarious Scary Pathological Aspect to this,

Imagine if you called gambling addiction “addiction to going outside” and doomed the discourse to constantly bounce between “ok SOME outside activities are bad, you need to have a good relationship with how you interact” and “theres nothing wrong with going outside dumbass”

“gambling addiction” is an invention of the gambling industry leveraged to pathologise the human misery inflicted on purpose as part of their business model and divert discussions of that misery and suffering away from regulatory and political interventions that could prevent that harm and towards biomedicalized management of those experiencing that (again–foreseeable, inevitable, industry-working-as-intended) harm

It’s a thing in Bavaria as well. I’m trying to erase it from my vocabulary because I hate it too.

Very good post :)

I just about lost it at everything in this paragraph

The door creaked open. Guido van Rossum looked like the typical output of GNU Autotools. He introduced me to the only other survivor: Special DevOps Mikhail Molotov. “We lost Travis. We lost Jenkins…” Molotov lamented.

Yeah. I use it with systemd, but I don’t want to miss /etc/portage/patches for example. It’s so nice.

waow. based

(Made in Krita!)

Yeah, on a desktop I don’t really mind whatever*. On a server however, I think systemd is great and I wouldn’t want to miss it anymore.

* except Debian’s frankenstein systemd + sysvinit combination. Burn it

Gentoo with OpenRC

Oh really? Nice, that’s news to me. Last I checked (admittedly not recently) it needed a bunch of 32-bit libraries installed to even start the client.

Since we’re talking about Steam here for example, Valve have not even bothered to release a 64-bit x86 client, let alone Arm client, except for Mac.

Gentoo can do this with Portage sets. They’re essentially a more simple way of creating a meta package which just installs other packages. And you can also write config packages which installs configuration for other packages.

Hm, okay, that does sound like the real client IP will get lost and every connection will appear to come from the proxy then. It would be good if that were passed somehow. My current setup adds the X-Forwarded-For header for example.

Oh interesting, I’ll have to look into that. Is this with that “proxy protocol” I’ve seen mentioned? If not, does this preserve it pass through the client socket address?

Tbf, technically data is still decrypted at the reverse proxy and then re-encrypted. So if someone manages to reconfigure the proxy or read its memory somehow they could read traffic in plain text.

However then since they have to control the VPS, they could also get a new cert for that domain (at least the way I’ve configured it) even if it was passed as is to the real host via a tunnel and read the plaintext data that way, so I don’t think a tunnel protects against anything.

Oh my god more work on the Dark Engine multiplayer. I really hope they finally release the source code for the engine like they promised ages ago with this remaster. Maybe they’re also the ones behind the new mysterious NewDark update?

If someone manages to get root (!) access on this VPS it’s over either way.

Yes, you can just use a reverse proxy for IPv4 only and point it to the IPv6 upstream. That is what I do, with a separate DNS record which then combines the two. See the DNS records for id.knifepoint.net (CNAME), http.vineta.knifepoint.net (AAAA, A) and vineta.knifepoint.net (AAAA).

The reverse proxy config and certificate management is set up with NixOS, if it helps: https://git.dblsaiko.net/systems/tree/nixos/defaults/v4proxy.nix https://git.dblsaiko.net/systems/tree/nixos/modules/sys2x/v4proxy.nix
