Lol. So, anecdotal evidence, statistics, and my lived experience doesn't count but your obvious lies do.

Yeah, I'm happy to see I saw your main character shitshow coming from a mile away.

I have. I've also been hit by a bicyclist. And a scooter. What's your point?

Based on your interactions so far, I'm guessing you ride a bicycle, ignore stop signs and traffic lights, join in on those dumb bicycle caravans that block busses, and blame pedestrians for not looking both ways before you rocket through a crosswalk.

And, you're mad at anything than entrenches motor vehicles in any way because this is your religion.

Again, based on experience, and the data, if you were exposed to "grievous bodily harm" then it seems like you should change something.

I don't know you so I'm not going to suggest you're making up how you feel about the situation but you definitely don't sound like you're expressing an accurate representation of reality.

I'm not rooting for anyone in any collision. Everyone should pay attention and drive responsibly.

I'm surrounded by waymos every time I go out and I can tell you that if they "almost hit you" three times then that's very likely a you problem -- and a reason for more waymos, not fewer.

Anecdotally, only once have I been in a situation where I've said, "do better, robot" because I was slightly inconvenienced by it.

By the numbers there are very few waymo incidents compared to human drivers and those include waymos being hit by bicyclists who aren't paying attention.

I see Elon brought his body armor.

It was mostly uneventful, to be honest. I downloaded the two apps (static admin and the php app), tossed them into /opt/www, and set up nginx to serve PHP. The config in the main app had a section for my Postgres settings and the docs gave the instructions on putting the default server configuration into the static site.

The only challenge was actually rather silly: I don't use PHP so it took me a bit to understand why apt install php installed Apache when I had already installed nginx. Once I found php-fpm it was smooth sailing from there.

This maybe isn't for everyone but I de-dockerified Shlink pretty quickly. Moving it to two nginx vhosts (server and admin) on a Shlink LXC and a centralized Postgres server made dealing with it a lot easier.

E.g., the initial API key shenanigans were less fiddly after I took more direct control.

Since 1994. When Newt Gingrich first slithered onto the scene to start spreading lies and dumb bullshit. Prior to that it was just lies.

After a long career in tech, one of the things I start to push for when I inevitably take over ops at my new job is to eliminate the silly names.

I don't do it because I hate fun, I do it because when someone yells, "Squirtle has dropped off the network!" I don't want to have to go consult a lookup table to learn that Squirtle is a staging environment postgres replica and not the primary billing database.

As a result, I apply the same standards to my home network without shame.

A great idea. Then, when you have to spend four donalds for a carton of eggs you'll remember why voting for con-men is a bad idea.
