I hope this doesn't awaken something in me

I'm a broke runner. Luckily running can be pretty cheap if you need it to be.
What I've spent money on in the last year or so:
Salomon Pulsar trail in ugly white/blue closeout color: $97.50
Refurbished Garmin Vivoactive 4: $134.95. I broke the old cellphone I used to track runs and provide music. Love not having to carry a phone, and the watch is much more accurate at tracking.
Walmart Athletic Works active T-shirts: $7.48 ea x6
Darn Tough wool socks: $24.95 x2. Expensive for me, but I'm really hard on socks. These last way, way longer than any other sock I've owned and they have free lifetime replacement. Buy them a little bigger than you want, they will gradually shrink even if you wash on cold and hang to dry
Loritta running shorts with liner: $15.95. I don't really like them, I think I'm going to buy some cheap basketball shorts instead.
If any of you are also super low budget runners, I'd love some suggestions of cheap places to get running clothes. I lost a bunch of weight this year, so I need to buy more clothes soon. I need shorts, long sleeve shirts and a light jacket for rain days. I've tried the local thrift store, but I live in redneck country where few people buy outdoor gear.
I think SSO is less important than having everything behind the reverse proxy. The importance of the proxy is that if there is a security hole in the web server component of your service, it cannot be exploited without a second flaw in the proxy. It's an additional layer of abstraction and security that doesn't add a ton of overhead.
An attacker would have to find an exploit in nginx, which is used by most of the big tech companies, so it is well secured compared to the services many of us selfhost.
Another advantage of using SWAG is being able to use fail2ban and geoip restrictions. Any ports open to the ipv4 internet get scanned by security services and malicious actors many times each day. It's nice to be able to have nginx refuse connections from any of them that repeatedly fail to login, or that come from outside your geographic region.
If you're going to try Authelia and a reverse proxy, I recommend using SWAG. It's a docker container that includes Authelia, nginx, fail2ban, geoip restrictions, and has premade config files for most of the selfhosted software that people run. The config files are especially useful since they include comments that describe the settings you need to change within the services you run, like changing the external domain in Emby for example.
In America they are mostly bought because of consumerism and fragile masculinity.
Where I live trucks are at around half the vehicles. My wife and I play a game where we try to spot a truck hauling something that they actually needed the truck for. Most trips I'll see dozens of trucks and zero being necessary.
Bill Gates gets a ton of benefits from his philanthropy. He gets to pay less taxes, he gets to influence the world with his donations, he gets honored at functions for his donations, he gets social validation. All while increasing his wealth.
Philanthropists basically always get benefits from their donations. Real people get hurt while they amass their wealth, and when they give a fraction of it away, they get far more benefits than a middle class person who donated a similar fraction of their wealth.
Arthur Sackler is a perfect example of philanthropy for personal benefit. He amassed his wealth directly on human suffering, getting America addicted to benzodiazepines and then opiates years later. He used his donations to museums to get himself a free place to store the artifacts he was collecting, and trained staff to preserve them. He got events in his honor. He got a hospital wing named after him, which came with priority service at a NYC hospital, where they keep specially equipped rooms and immediate access to a doctor for benefactors.
I'll be impressed with a billionaire giving away their wealth when one of them gives it to a cause that will work to prevent anyone else from becoming a billionaire.
Someone who has 999 million has looked at their wealth and said, "I need more", while knowing how hard normal people are struggling. The same goes for people with 500 million.
500 million, even if it's entirely illiquid, is enough to you and your entire family to live 10 lives of absolute luxury while never working. You can borrow against it and still grow your wealth faster than any reasonable person could spend it.
It's not about the specific amount of money, it's that they keep increasing their wealth far beyond any reasonable point.
It's a childish argument to say anyone who criticizes billionaires is jealous. I don't want to be a billionaire, I want everyone to have a little wealth.
No catch that I know of. I use it for subscription services constantly. I don't even bother to try to cancel them anymore, I just set the card to $1 all-time and forget about it.
Exactly. Federation means no single instance needs to serve millions of users. If one gets too big and becomes too commercialized, you can move to a different one that shares your values. If large instances cost more per user as they scale up, we just need more instances.
I also think people are vastly overestimating the cost to serve users on Lemmy/kbin. Last time I calculated it, lemmy.world costs were around €0.01/mo per monthly active user. That can be maintained with 1% users donating €1 a month.
I think the fact that reddit has never paid moderators in the past shows that they fear setting such a precedent. IAmA has always been a big draw for users and celebrities, yet they never put an employee in charge of it.
Once they start paying one set of moderators, other mods might start to expect something in return for their labor. This especially won't look good to investors who might otherwise like the business model of paying nobody for moderation.
I've also had problems with PLA prints delaminating and becoming brittle over time, especially if it's being flexed or exposed to sunlight. Some PLA's are worse than others with this, though.
I use PETG for anything I want to last a long time.
