I guess they back either other up. Like archive.is is able to take archives from archive.org but the saved page reflects the original URL and the original archiving time from the wayback machine (though it also notes the URL used from wayback itself plus the time they got archived it from wayback).

While this would almost certainly work, it would be nice if the root cause can be discovered and either fixed or worked around. Having to reinstall everytime one needs to free up disk space is … less than ideal.

Would it be unreasonable to ask to move to another country?

I’ve had some bad ones (the DMV near my university) along with some good ones (the good folks at Service Ontario where I got DMV-like things done - they’re so polite, friendly, and helpful!).

Cool, thanks for the suggestion!

Also, h/t to getting pointed to https://www.nten.org/change/savedotorg-campaign-history … TIL!

This is actually very easy. You can copy the files from the container, even while it’s not running, onto your host system to edit there, and then copy them back afterwards.

See the top answer on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22907231/how-to-copy-files-from-host-to-docker-container for step by step instructions on how to do this.

There’s a good reason for it - in short it’s the price I pay for a free domain name.

I provided a longer and more in-depth explanation over at https://aussie.zone/post/14078235/12384427

So glad to be on pyfedi ( see piefed.social ) - which does support SVG

I’m probably going to leave after the election results are known for sure (note that if it’s very close, we might not be sure until all the votes are counted, which could take more than just a single day) - just too much traffic on here and world to keep up.

I don’t oppose third parties, but will answer anyways

(1) How will you get the US to stop funding Israeli genocide?;

We already have the Leahy Laws for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leahy_Law

So it’s just a matter of drawing up support after the election is over to push to get this properly enforced. I’m optimistic that a final ruling from the ICJ on this case in favor of South Africa would help shift public opinion in the US on this matter as well - making the push easier, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Africa%27s_genocide_case_against_Israel

(2), what are the chances of your proposal(s) succeeding before, say, 2075?

I don’t like betting on court cases or the odds of future public opinion swaying. That said, I remain optimistic.

I am also hopeful for a plan B here - https://www.vox.com/2020/1/14/21063591/modest-proposal-to-save-american-democracy-pack-the-union-harvard-law-review - which would make it practical for third parties to win the Presidency in the future, making it easier to push for less moderate policy agendas.

I’d add that, while not strictly required, one of those total car snow covers really does come in handy: https://www.amazon.ca/kayme-Waterproof-Protection-Automobiles-Universal/dp/B09FLKGLCW

Hard to say for sure. I’d put this as a “maybe” or “toss-up” - in any case the odds are better to convince her than the other guy so…

I’m pushing for the 127 DC States plan, https://www.vox.com/2020/1/14/21063591/modest-proposal-to-save-american-democracy-pack-the-union-harvard-law-review , wherever I can. Getting this through successfully is probably the best chance to replace FPTP at the national level, including for Presidential elections.

Following. There’s a forum for everything - or almost everything.

However, one gap that I’m aware of - I’ve not found a forum (or even fediverse magazine/community) for third culture kids. There were some in the past, but AFAIK they’ve all gone defunct by now.

Exactly what I was thinking. Even lemmy.world has https://lemmy.world/c/conservative - so why does the instance have to be or support politically neutrality as a whole? Just join the magazines that fit your taste.

Even for political news specifically, I’m sure there are similar magazines to https://lemmy.world/c/moderate_politics - or alternatively, one can fill the gap by subscribing to an RSS feed from the many RSS-to-fediverse options out there, like https://lemm.ee/post/336615

Here are some examples of “other software” that does compute this.

Mbin still reports the raw reputation score, e.g. https://fedia.io/u/@[email protected]

Piefed instead reports an attitude percentage, e.g. https://piefed.social/u/[email protected]

Both do so without requiring an account.

Getting to nomadic identity, and the equivalent for magazines/communities (i.e. being able to change what instance your account is based off of, as well as the instance that hosts a given community).

It depends how sleepy I am. If I’m wide awake and know I won’t be able to fall asleep for a few hours, I’d try to get as much done before hand (so I’ll have more time later to sneak in the inevitable nap). If I can barely keep my eyes open, just make sure the alarm is set and sleep it off.

Not sure why someone would want to try it. It’s basically just Chrome OS but more limited, https://support.google.com/chromeosflex/answer/11542901?hl=en

Some of these are really severe - no CD/DVD support? Really?

Also more concerning, is that Chrome OS Flex might become unsupported soon, as per https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-might-abandon-chromeos-flex-next-heres-why/

For the technically minded trying to keep up to date and secure older hardware, a good GNU/Linux distro seems like the best choice. And it’s not so hard to set up a good Kiosk if setting up the older hardware for a less tech minded person, https://oofhours.com/2023/05/02/creating-a-kiosk-with-linux/

That said, although I haven’t tried it myself, I found a good story about someone’s success with Flex, over at https://www.zdnet.com/article/i-revived-three-ancient-computers-with-chromeos-flex-and-you-can-too/

Obviously I don’t like either and I love both ad blockers and tools that bypass paywalls.

But if forced to choose: I prefer ads. Here’s why - there’s no way I could reasonably afford to sign up for and pay for everything, if it was all behind a paywall. So I’d only have access to and be able to save a limited number of articles for myself.

But if it’s just ad heavy, it’s more accessible and I can still save it. The range of what I’d be able to save and retain is much larger this way.
