Another case that demonstrates they’ll always comply with the law in the end. You just need to make sure your laws and your legislation are rock solid.

I’d say we’re still far from it, but that’s definitely where we’re headed full steam

They could but they won’t have enough votes to go through with it unfortunately. The assembly is roughly 33% of the three big groups, the united left, Macron’s party and the far right. With the united left having slightly more seats than the other two.

To be fair we’re pretty tired and hopeless, most people are apathetic now because nothing seems to be working.

Strikes and demonstrations are vilified by the media, the left is not united enough to hit as hard as they should, the president is a child throwing tantrums to have it the way he wants, the media is owned by very few people so they control the narrative, etc.

It honestly feels hopeless, most people want change, but to a lot of people the demonising of the left has worked and the far right seems to be a reasonable option now.

It’s gonna get a lot worse before it gets better unfortunately…

“We should do something about this” - COPXX

I used to love them until the stories of them being fucking horrible people came out. They’ve been accused of rape, human trafficking and slavery.

Douglas Adams writing doesn’t translate well to film I think, a bit like Pratchett’s. It can be done (Good Omens was a great adaptation of Pratchett) but it’s probably super hard to do well and keep the original feeling/spirit

To me, it sounds somewhat like hyper focusing. Are you familiar with ADHD or ASD?

Git and GitHub are not the same thing

Of course it’s not a 10 years from now thing, but it’s probably going to happen someday, and a dude like Musk or Trump with an artificially extended lifespan could be absolutely devastating.

Well, it’s becoming a genuine concern because of the advances of medicine and the growing understanding of the aging process. Imagine a guy like Musk living for a 100 or 200 years, imagine the accumulation of wealth.

Call me chauvinistic but France is absolutely special in many ways. The diversity of landscapes for a country this size is absolutely mad, not even considering the Outre Mer. The history is insanely rich, the culture is definitely worthwhile, and I’m not even talking about the food and its sheer diversity.

The problem is us, Frenchies, we’ve definitely lost our spark and are getting propaganded to hell. It’s a very sad state of affairs.

Less chauvinistically, I really like Norway and the Nordics in general.

If you buy three of them you can set up a Ceph cluster I suppose ahah. That would solve part of your issue of having storage and compute on the same node.

If you don’t need enterprise level hardware and support, I can suggest MinisForum. They released the MS01 fairly recently and I believe it fits your specs.

Sex work is going to happen whether it’s legal or not. Might as well regulate it and provide sex workers with a legal framework, healthcare, retirement funds, etc.

It’s a tough read (as in long and highly detailed), but I feel it’s worth it to help understand how the media treats and reports information.

I live in France, and roughly 90% of the media is between the hands of a dozen people at most. You can really feel the impact in the general population.

Not American, but my views of America being “the good guy” completely crumbled when I read Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent.
It made me put into perspective the amount of propaganda we’re being fed by mass media, just by reporting with carefully chosen words. It’s obviously not limited to America, because the same patterns are being used all around the world to justify imperialism, nationalism and ruthless capitalism.
It also helped me realise how fucked up some of the things my government did (and is still doing to be fair) and we just gobble it up, because it’s insanely hard to get out of the bubbles we’ve created for ourselves.

That’s the problem, if anyone somehow gets your root CA key, your encryption is pretty much gone and they can sign whatever they want with your CA.
It’s a lot of work to make sure it’s safe in a home setup.

I’m talking about home hosting and private keys. Not businesses with people whose full time job is to make sure everything runs fine.
I’m a nobody and I regularly have people/bots testing my router. I’m not monitoring my whole setup yet and if someone gets in I would probably not notice until it’s too late.
So hosting my own CA is a hassle and a security risk I’m not willing to put work into.
