  • foggy@lemmy.worldtoSelfhosted@lemmy.worldHow do you document your Homelab?

    I operate on the philosophy that it is better for me to relearn things than lean on old documentation that may no longer be accurate/relevant.

    The best way to implement a safe connection to my home lab today might not be the safest way tomorrow.

    Old dog, new tricks, etc.

    Also! Your documentation is an attackers wet dream.

    NB: this philosophy doesn’t scale.


  • Videogames and YouTube reaction vid can both go to the same singular pair of Bluetooth headphones.

    Your partner is not being fair to you. They don’t need to be listening at full volume, either. That’s obnoxious.

    Shit, if I wanna plug my guitar in my huge amp and shred guitar all day, do I just tell my gf to deal with it because I’m depressed and have ADD? No, I use amp simulators and headphones.


  • Okay I’m free now.

    Im so glad you gave me this gem.

    Your response itself relies on several fallacies… false equivalence, hasty generalization, equivocation, a strawman, and non sequitur reasoning, probably more?

    You’re incorrectly conflating logical fallacies (which are clear mistakes in reasoning) with inductive uncertainty or experimental limitations in science. Logical fallacies invalidate reasoning structures. Scientific reasoning explicitly includes uncertainty and error correction as fundamental principles; it’s not fallacious; it’s cautious and probabilistic.

    Additionally, your example of Socrates is actually demonstrating deductive validity, a different kind of reasoning entirely. Thus, your argument misrepresents logic and science simultaneously. Please correct these fallacies if you want this conversation to proceed productively



  • Why do we not have some brilliant mind just fully memorize all of the ins and outs of how these arise and just crush bad faith arguments by simply labeling them in real time rather than engaging with them?

    Like, if framed correctly “I don’t engage in logical fallacy. I will immediately call it out, move on, and go back to the relevant topic.”

    “Oh you don’t care about starving children?”

    “That’s an appeal to emotion. I won’t engage with this obvious logical fallacy. I will address the causes of children suffering to alleviate their suffering.”

    “But the cause is illegal immigrants!!!”

    “That’s a strawman. I won’t engage with logical fallacies. If you’d like to have a discussion about solving problems, Im all ears, but until we’re done pointing fingers, this conversation is over.”

    1. Waking Life is an excellent movie that every coming of age adolescent should watch. Preferably during their first few times experimenting with a hallucinogen, but that’s certainly not required.

    2. Alex Jones got drunk on investigative journalism success. It is not a stretch to say that he and Michael Moore were very similar and on similar paths at one point in history (circa Waking Life, 1999-2001.). . Turns out one of them is both batshit crazy and great at mass manipulation, while the other is still righteous but struggles to get noticed.

    If you didn’t know this, it’s important to hear. It’s important to know that someone seemingly righteous right now can be revealed to be a lunatic piece of shit loser down the line.

    Their message can be righteous. Power corrupts, and manipulators often barely know they’re manipulating. They know they’re succeeding. They’re drunk on it and they stumble onward into grotesque success.

    I won’t give spoilers, but another classic psychonaut movie of this era is, IMO, Keanu Reeves best performance. It is also rotoscoped and trippy and about hallucinogens. Alex Jones has a similarly small role, scene here.

    1. A Scanner Darkly is an S tier movie. has drugged up Robert Downy, has Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson, and again Keanu’s best performance. His character is addicted to a fictional addictive hallucinogen. His space cadet demeanor between bill and Ted and actual actor is blurred expertly… It’s such a sleeper banger film.

    Sincerely if you’re like 16 to 25 and just getting into drugs… Watch both of these movies. I promise Alex Jones has nothing to do with them other than that he was actual kinda a liberal beacon at the turn of the millennium. Weird to recount.

    What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me - into us - clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can’t any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone’s sake, the scanners do better. Because, he thought, if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we’ll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too.

    This disjointed drunken ramble was brought to you by beer.

    Go watch Waking Life, yes. But go watch A Scanner Darkly. Both have rotoscoped Alex Jones being Liberal. The latter is a better film.



  • I’m done arguing. Not gonna respond to whatever fedora fanboy nonsense to follow.

    Ubuntu holds around 30 percent of the Linux desktop market. Fedora sits around 1 to 2 percent. Ubuntu focuses on Long Term Support stability, massive community documentation, seamless hardware driver support, and minimizing breakage for new users. Fedora deliberately pushes bleeding-edge kernels, experimental libraries, and rapid changes that regularly introduce breakage. Beginners do not need the newest kernel version or experimental features. They need stability, predictability, easy troubleshooting, and access to a massive community when things go wrong. Fedora is excellent for intermediate users who know how to fix their own problems. It is irresponsible to recommend a testing ground distro to someone who is still learning how to use the terminal.

    If Fedora were actually a good beginner distro, it would dominate beginner spaces like r/linux4noobs, It does not. Fedora is respected, but it is not designed for beginners. Even Fedora’s own documentation assumes technical competence that a first-time Linux user will not have.

    It is objectively not a good distro for beginners. Not even Fedora thinks it’s a good distro for beginners. Your arguments make no sense. I certainly don’t care to hear anymore of them.

    Good day.
