So glad I made the switch to GrapheneOS, and hurridly pulling my data out of Google's services. It may take me another month or two before I'm just down to migrating the rest of my email from gmail (reckon that might take me all year) but these articles just spur me on more.

Starmer is such a weak centrist cuck.

Just finished Red Shirts by Jon Scalzi, a Star Trek satire about the disposability of side characters in sci-fi. Not a bad book, by any regards, but had a very simplistic writing style that got tedious at times. The best part of the book was when the narrative finished 75% of the way through the novel, then it spent three chapters exploring three of the minor characters from the narrative and the repercussions the plot had on them. This made the book worth reading, but I still felt a little unsatisfied at the end.

I'm now reading Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I'm only two chapters in, but so far, this looks much more up my street. Earth has become a fascist technocracy that sends its political prisoners to far off planets to endure forced labour. The descriptions of acceptable losses in the first chapter made the tense descent of the main character to his new prison planet all the more so. Interested to see where this one goes.

I just recently set up a private NextCloud instance and had OnlyOffice integrated for document editing, until I tested it on my phone and saw you needed to pay for a license to edit documents on mobile. Went with Collabora instead, which is working nicely. Dodged a bullet there.

I'm not the author, just saw this elsewhere and thought it needed more visibility.

From a cursory look, as I don't know NPM, Swag doesn't require a database itself as all config is file based, and doesn't have any user management. Both seem to be nginx based with Fail2Ban installed, there's probably some other differences.

What I like about Swag is that with my config checked into a git repo and an act runner set up, I can reconfigure swag on the fly, with a rollback, as it's just a case of pushing an update to the repo and letting the runner pull changes and restart the container. It works very well for how I want things set up.

Didn't Gimli grab the axe he smashed on The Ring from the dwarf sitting next to him? So he still has his axe. I think that would class as forethought. But also he does have multiple axes.

If you have a domain name setup, I'd recommend using Swag as your gateway. It's a hardened nginx with lots of preconfigured samples that make it feel very plug and play. I got SSL with Let's Encrypt set up in minutes. My next task is adding SSO to my setup.

If you're using docker to run your apps, use a network with only swag on it that can connect via port 80 and 443, and put your other apps on a separate network that isn't public, swag also there and let it do its proxy thing. Run docker rootless, each container with a separate user, secrets fully secured, all that good stuff.

There's very little reason to "boost your testosterone" unless you are suffering health problems as a result of low testosterone, in which case, your doctor can prescribe you something that will actually work. The vast majority of testosterone boosters on the market without a prescription do diddly squat, they're just marketed at men with body image issues or low self esteem to make money. Your testosterone levels are natural for you, they fluctuate over time, both on the short and long scale, but trying to boost them with natural supplements or magic pants is just a waste of money.

Anyone know what statue that is?

Good luck. I'm also on that process. Just changing email provider is enough work with over 300 accounts using my Gmail address. Don't give up, but be aware it's a lot of work.

I enjoyed the Gnorp Apologue, a fun little game.
