  • No. Racism is prejudice on the basis of race. Being part of a group that is generally a target doesn’t excuse your own behavior and give a blank card for your own prejudices.

    We are ALL grown-ups. Act like it. Asking someone to be aware of their own privilege is not the same as telling someone they’re inherently guilty to the genitals or skin color they were born with, regardless of their own actions. That is NOT “being asked to self-reflect” as you put it. That is simply prejudice and you will be called out on it. The same way I will call-out a cat-calling man, a man-hating woman or a raging racist, because to me you are all the same.







  • This reminds me when I was in school and a friend wanted to fart. Everybody in the classroom was talking but he thought they might still hear so he planned to let his book fall on the ground and time the fart with the fall noise. He messed it up, he farted 2 seconds after the noise. Also, the noise was so loud everybody immediately stopped talking.








  • Self-hosted machine. It was basically my old computer I bought back in '09. It’s a i5-750 on a Asus P5P77. It started with the 4 GB RAM I hadn’t sold until I upgrade to 8. I used a borrowed Nvidia GT730 and a 1 TB HDD at first until I upgrade my main PC GPU and bought a new HDD for the server so now it runs in a 4 TB HDD and my old GTX 1060 3 Gb. It’s a beast for my needs.

    • Jellyfin is the main reason I started my server. Initially it was so my mother could easily watch shows I would never illegally download. Until a realized it would be great for me too and friends. To not watch them…I mean, because that would be ilegal!

    • Qbittorrent…shit…oh well :)

    • Nginx, when I realized I could host my own development server and personal website

    • Komga, when I realized I could have the same benefits of Jellyfin with books and comics.

    • Tailscale, allows me to, among other things, use it as an online or LAN hard drive for me and people I like.

    • Samba, see above. It also works to keep a nice share folder between my main PC and my laptop

    The more time passes the more I realize self-hosting is the best idea ever. I get new ideias every day.
