Best case she's littering worst case she starts a wildfire. Fuck this.

Whats a hobby/craft that you wouldn't expect that has an incredibly high ceiling either monetarily or in sheer skill? in c/asklemmy

[–] PapaTorque 55 points 1 year ago

Gymnastics. The skill part is obvious but monetarily its more than i expected. I thought it would be like going to a regular gym but its usually much more expensive to use the gyms and thats if you can find a time slot where adult males can train.

Rice Purity Test, what is your score? in c/[email protected]

[–] PapaTorque 2 points 1 year ago

I got the same. Seems like spiritual purity just means you don't drink/smoke. Those are basically the only ones I answered no to.

Proviron (Mesterolone) Experience in c/steroids

[–] PapaTorque 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't notice any changes. Good or bad. Just nothing different. No change in libido. Didn't have the sleep issues you mention either though. Granted it's been several years so I don't remember what my cycle or dosages were at the time.

Just checked out some of their music. It's going on my playlist for sure.

And you can get that for under $100?

Can i use the ansible playbook to setup a local matrix server? (self.matrix)

Okay so ideally it wouldnt be local but i'm behind a carrier grade NAT and my isp isnt very cooperative but monopolies gonna monopoly so here i am.

What i want is basically beeper. I want to use element on my phone with bridges so i dont need half a dozen different messaging apps.

Note that i know what i am doing is probably horrible in terms of security.

I setup matrix by following the ansible playbook docs. I skipped all the dns stuff. I set to a random made up domain. And changed my hosts file to point

matrix.made-up-domain.com

element.made-up-domain.com

to my server internal ip address.

I disabled ssl in

inventory/host_vars/matrix.made-up-domain.com/vars.yaml

Using

devture_traefik_config_entrypoint_web_secure_enabled: false

In inventory/hosts i also used my made up domain.

I hit go and eventually i got it to work. Even got a couple of bridges working. The issue is it only works on my desktop not on my phone. Both of them are on the local network. I think it has to do with the element app on my phone not liking that ssl is disabled.

I dont really know what the best option is at this point. Should i try self signed certificates? Or maybe something like ngrok or pagekite? Its okay if it is only local. I can play around with zerotier or something similar so i can still access it outside the network.

Note that im not able to pay for anything either which makes things more complicated. Cant buy a domin name or pay for a vps or any of the things that would make this easier.

Update: I got it working. The key was the self-signed certificates I think. That simplified a lot of stuff. Well, it made it so I could follow the playbook more closely, so I was able to use the work that other people put into that instead of having to tweak a bunch of stuff.

I also setup pi-hole to use the local DNS stuff on my made up domain. I think i was right that Zero tier gives me access to everything from outside the network using pi-hole for the DNS. I don't get cell service where I live though, so testing that will be a process.

Arizona Republican refers to Black Americans as 'colored people' in House floor debate in c/politics

[–] PapaTorque 1 points 1 year ago

I definitely agree. But someone publicly speaking on the subject should probably look into it first or at least their team should give them a heads up.

I feel the same way when politicians fuck up talking about tech stuff. If I'm talking with my friends about encryption and I fuck up the terminology I don't really care. If I'm a politician talking about it in a house floor debate I'm gonna make myself look retarded to anyone who knows anything about encryption and ruin my own credibility in the process.

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others? in c/android

[–] PapaTorque 2 points 1 year ago

Yep. I'll second this. I've used it for years and across many laptop changes, phone changes, etc. It's painless but you're also responsible for not losing everything.

What's the best thing you kept from one of your exes? in c/[email protected]

An unreasonable hatred for everything to do with alcohol, and a blanket.

It puts the "people" part first. This can be seen as prioritizing them as being people first and their skin color second.

True. I want a nice car before getting a house. How the fuck else will I get to my job to pay for my car and house? And by "nice" I mean "won't break down on the way to my job." very few of my friends have ever bought a new car.

That's great! Shoot me a DM when you make the switch and I'll figure out how to pass off the community if you're interested in taking it over. Not exactly a lot to mod right now but I'm staying away from Reddit and hopefully there's enough people moving away to get a bit of content.
