This maybe isn’t for everyone but I de-dockerified Shlink pretty quickly. Moving it to two nginx vhosts (server and admin) on a Shlink LXC and a centralized Postgres server made dealing with it a lot easier.

E.g., the initial API key shenanigans were less fiddly after I took more direct control.

That was the “joke” from the first time around. The French version uses brioche which is just even more fancy bread.

Maybe a parallel would be “the peasants have no eggs!” -> “let them eat omelettes!”

Yep. But there’s also a cross section of ages spewing propaganda. I mean, RFK Jr is ancient. He should remember the time of bloodletting yet here we are.

And the misinformation campaign is oppressive. When my first born was at his 6 month (?) pediatrician appointment, the doctor started in on, “I’m required to inform you that vaccination is a personal and religious choice …” I cut him off and said, “I believe in science” and I could see the immediate relief on his face. I don’t know what he didn’t have to say, but it surely wasn’t good.

She’s older than the antivax craze, sadly. So her parents likely screwed us all over by being responsible.

Have you instructed your servant to search more thoroughly?

I believe the traditional response to “the peasants have no eggs” would be, “let them eat cake!”

Since 1994. When Newt Gingrich first slithered onto the scene to start spreading lies and dumb bullshit. Prior to that it was just lies.

After a long career in tech, one of the things I start to push for when I inevitably take over ops at my new job is to eliminate the silly names.

I don’t do it because I hate fun, I do it because when someone yells, “Squirtle has dropped off the network!” I don’t want to have to go consult a lookup table to learn that Squirtle is a staging environment postgres replica and not the primary billing database.

As a result, I apply the same standards to my home network without shame.

Gym wouldn’t recognize free speech even if it raped his high school students.

I think the culture thing is actually also tenuous.

IMHO, what we have is a society that doesn’t actually respect or care for children in any meaningful way. We blame them for being children, fill their heads with increasingly toxic religious nonsense, and now we’re teaching them that lies and hate speech are totally acceptable.

So what if they see a Rambo movie? If anything it probably gave them a 90 minute respite from feeling worthless and abandoned.

Having read the transcript, no, he does not. There’s absolutely no reason beyond “both sides” bullshit to connect the two. Unlike Kirk, he didn’t go on hateful tirades about groomers, drag shows, or pedophiles.

Having been disappointed by Newsom several times, what he did say in the podcast continues his disappointing trend and gives unacceptable levels of support to crazy conservative garbage thinking.

You can think Newsom said something terrible without taking the opportunity to make Kirk seem like he isn’t a hateful extremist.

Politico’s Lisa Kashinsky noted that Lau’s appointment was a sign that the party is “taking a stay-the-course approach to staffing despite the party’s losses in November.…

Politico is not an honest participant in any political conversation anymore. Lamenting that a Warren staffer from 2020 is a long-time insider only serves to rile up people who are already predisposed to “corporate Democrats” bullshit.

if the DNC was the powerful Bernie wouldn’t have won any states.

Exactly. If you go back to my original comment, all I said is that AOC needs to run if she wants to run. There’s no one picking the people who are on the ballot. If that were the case, the DNC would have blocked Bernie and Williamson. But they didn’t.

People run for office, at all levels. No one is deciding to “run candidates” like we’re choosing race horses to field for the day.

they don’t dictate the result and saying they do is just a recipe for progressives to give up and check out rather than stay in the fight.

Something keeps telling me that this is the goal of all the DNC Boogeyman talk.

We don’t “run” candidates. If you want someone else to run you need to speak with them.

Sorry if this seems pedantic but I’m getting tired of the language that suggests there’s some sort of cabal deciding who does or does not run.

A great idea. Then, when you have to spend four donalds for a carton of eggs you’ll remember why voting for con-men is a bad idea.
