But in general, you would use specially rated components and materials if you need them to last decades - not the cheapest most basic parts you can find.
Keep in mind this is modern tech and an Elon-helmed corpo we're talking about lol. Do decades-lasting components bump stock shares THIS quarter? I point to all the bits falling off of Teslas lately.
lol God help us all...
I still love the concept of floppy diskettes. Sure, some of this is nostalgia, but what if you had something like super fast solid state memory encased in a nice solid shell like that? Sure, sure, like a USB drive...but the contacts could be protected with the little slidy-shield bit and nobody could accidentally snag the USB sticking out and damage it and the port.
I think I just really miss the "kaCHUNK" of inserting physical solid media, and flipping through stacks of them...maybe not so much the capacity or read speeds :)
I figure there's a certain amount of trust you have to have in strangers for a LOT of things we use every day.
I try to be selective with where I put that trust, especially when I can't just homebrew an advanced custom solution, but I figure Tailscale is much better than attempting to just host it on my LAN with an open a port to the big scary web and hope a bot doesn't find a gap and ransomware it all lol.
3-2-1 backups and a certain bit of trust.
Because heck, even CPUs have been found with exploitable microcode. (Spectre and Meltdown?) At some point you just gotta balance "best rational protection" with not going insane, right?
Headscale mentioned here is pretty neat too, but I feel like spinning up Dockers on Proxmox and Tailscale is as much moving parts as I'm willing to manage alongside everything else in life. :)
I'm not a security specialist either. I learn new things every day, but this is why my NextCloud is accessible through TailScale only and I have zero ports exposed to the outside world.
The only real convenience I lose is being able to say "check out this thing on my personal server" with a link to someone outside my network, but that's easily worked around.
The power of Jésus really brightens up the room... With a fresh coat!
Good gosh even when it's not DNS....
.... IT'S DNS
I'm so happy you made it out, friend, and I hope things are better for you now, and others follow in your footsteps.
Thank you for caring. :)
99% of self proclaimed Christians hate megachurches.
If the figure is that high, it gives me hope. I wonder if there's data on this somewhere.
Megachurches are definitely among the "principalities and powers" we struggle against.
If they're not outright thieving, they're just self-help seminars preaching about how "Jesus and Americanism are actually totally compatible for realsies."
Dank and based Christian memes calling out hypocrisy from religious political factions?
Thoughtful discussions on faith in the comments without immediately devolving into a bashing-all-faiths circlejerk?! On LEMMY?
And that's how we made Reddit obsolete.
There's still some bitterness around here, but I'm glad there's room for talk and respect. Love you all. ❤️
(Christian Anarchist here, if anyone cares)
Well, that's the rub.
If you sincerely make the choice to follow Jesus, you would feel immense empathy and guilt about bringing calamity on your fellow human beings. If you had already done so, you'd be moved to repent and atone with those you afflicted, with whatever life you had left.
That's the power of Christ's love.
If you were an evil mustache twirling villain who thinks "I can just say some words and act real sad and I get zero consequences for all the evil stuff I enjoyed doing", you're fooling yourself. As if God would be some kind of mall cop and not see the evil heart right through it lol.
You know someone's heart by their works and their nature. They aren't saved by good deeds, but good will towards their neighbors is a side effect of being saved.
This is why it's so heartbreaking seeing how people abuse the name of Christ to get people's guards down, before dragging both through the mud. Evil's best footsoldiers are hateful "Christians in name only".
People always ask about a certain funny-mustached dictator's final thoughts alone in a bunker. "What if he really meant it? Would Jesus forgive him?"
Yep! But I imagine if we're honest with ourselves and he was actually leaning that way, he would have put a stop to his atrocities much sooner. A confession only out of the sudden realization of impending consequences is seldom a change of heart.
I hope this helps.
Precisely.
The easiest thought experiment here is asking "But how do you get rich?"
Well, it's certainly not by putting others first and being fair and equitable in all your dealings. That's against the "game" (oh sorry, "best practices") of business.
A ton of capitalist co-opting of Christianity makes all kinds of excuses for why a Godly person could work 1,000,000x harder than everyone else and be "blessed" with the burdens of wealth, but it's all propaganda.
Inheritance maybe? Okay, the question still becomes: What did you do with your resources?
Being honest with these questions makes the truth rather apparent, in my humble opinion.
That's the 1984 version, perhaps.
I'd posit the Brave New World version is
"It keeps buzzing your brain into doing your stupid task until the 30 hour shift is up, but don't worry, you get sweet dopamine hits and painkillers the whole time and aren't sure why this is so enjoyable! The pleasure-task curve is perfectly computed. You're not even sure how long it's been. There's a momentary sadness when you witness a fellow worker just convulse and drop like a sack of rocks. This work feels so important though! You can understand their dedication."
