For just a bit more than a VPN subscription, you can rent a VPS and route your traffic through it. Basically, be your own VPN.

Maybe this law will spur innovation and skills in sysadmin, like how people who grew up before smart phones actually had to learn how computers work.

You should perhaps skim through https://docs.docker.com/storage/ quickly. That document explains that docker containers only have very limited persistence (this is kind of the whole point of containers). The only persistence of note is volumes. This is normally how settings are saved between recreating containers.

As for dependencies, well it’s possible that one container depends on the service of another. Perhaps this is what you are describing?

Either way, for more detailed help, you will have to explain your setup with more specific technical details.

Justice Richard Mosley wrote that the decision the government made to declare a national emergency was beyond what was called for.

Nah. It was called for. On all accounts.

Intimidation and a siege right at the heart of our nation’s democracy is a national emergency.

That’s not going to happen.

All this comment does is muddy the waters with unsubstantiated claims and whataboutisms. This looks like the exact kind of social engineering being pumped out of China and Russia to attack our democracy and weaken the unity and resolve of Canadians and Americans. Get this shit out of here.

On the one hand, you’ve got people hand waving the feasibility of “magic eco solutions” like scalable carbon capture and “solar freaking roadways”, on the other end of the spectrum, you’ve got Smil, and the EVs-are-not-the-solution crowd who are, ironically, hand waving the feasibility of convincing people to suffer a little more now so we probably (?) won’t suffer more later.

I agree with the sentiment that the reality is somewhere between two extremes. But in failing to acknowledge the social problem around convincing people to intentionally suffer (because we’re stuck in a productivity arms race perpetuated by a little “eco-MAD” doctrine and some prisoner’s dilemma for good measure), puts Smile’s view itself in a bit of an “extremist” spot.

It doesn’t matter a lick of difference if 98% of everyone is a goody two-shoes and consumed “responsibly” if the other 2% is sweeping the problem under the rug unbeknownst to the 98%. 100% responsibility may be just as unfeasible as scalable carbon capture.

Just a thought, communities dedicated to one particular gender are often not inclusive by design, especially if you actively try to funnel people of a certain gender to certain communities. And therefore they, historically, have tended to devolve into echo chambers, and then subsequently into toxic spaces, with little room for nuanced discussion nor hosting a broad range of opinions. That’s not to say all communities are like this and most don’t start out like that either. There is value to have these communities if they themselves promote inclusion. But putting people of a particular gender into a gender-specific community is not at all the solution to “Too few women on Lemmy”.

I’d rather see the focus on making the general communities be welcoming to everyone equally.

Engineers and doctors are a restricted profession because those professions can kill people when exercised outside the norms and regulations we are accustomed to in Canada. Being an “engineer” in another country doesn’t automatically grant you the right to call yourself an engineer in Canada. There’s more to it than just education on paper. Engineers and Doctors receive training that is specific to the practices, codes and regulations and expected in the Canadian market they are expected to practice in.

Retraining those professional qualifications for an immigrant is really complicated. We would basically need a dedicated school or two specialized in skills transfer And recertification for hundreds of different countries across dozens of different diplomas. Plus the immigrants would need to be willing. And who’s going to pay for that? I think our educational funding should be prioritized to Canadian students first.

These laws exist to protect existing renters against exploitation of the cost of moving as a negotiation tactic (since the consumer cannot easily shop between renegotiations, it is not a free market).

These laws do not exist to implement fixed housing price policy. What you may be looking for is public housing.

In my experience, a lot of existing rental law tends to be a pretty fair balance between rights of renters and very small property owners, which we should totally encourage. The problems arise with medium and large (institutional) property owners, that don’t need the same degree of protection as small renters, and who leverage their size to bully. The laws should be updated to be stricter for large blocks of ownership. But defining that can be a challenge.

One hundred percent.

This isn’t just some overvalued tulip in need of a correction. People need homes and can’t afford to exit the housing market entirely. If people can’t afford housing, that means they can’t really afford anything. Expect the economy to have collapsed. Wages and employment will be down. Home ownership will decline.

Only those with capital to ride out a bumpy economy will be able to snatch up the cheap housing.

The solution to our housing crisis is not to tank the economy. The solution is to tackle the supply of housing, income inequality, and corporate equity in residential real estate.

People post headlines on social media and users click on those to go to the news outlet and read the article.

Read the article. Sure bud.

Did you read the article? This was a service disruption, which can be expected on the opening day of a new service. What does investments in track km have to do with first day operations?

“Government” is a pretty broad term. It encompasses both elected or ruling leaders that implement policy (politics), as well as the administrative beaurocracy that implements whatever policy is enacted day to day. It’s pretty typical for the beaurocracy to continue functioning under whatever mandate they have and even to make their own descisions if the mandate gives them that latitude, even if the leadership part of the government is being changed or otherwise non-functional.

I guess people forgot how the internet itself used to be a “monoculture” of nerds and weirdos. Weirdos and nerds have been making the cool trendy places that the mainstream first shuns and mocks then flocks to (maybe “ironically” at first) for centuries. Maybe even millenia.

Information is power. Information is used against you pervasively for control. This control ranges in nefariousness. You want examples? Here are some examples of consequences of use of information as a means of power:

• A present or future employer making HR descisions based on your behaviour outside of work.
• An insurance provider discriminating you and your coverage based on some knowledge like a pre existing condition or behaviour
• Behaviour that is socially acceptable today or appropriate in context being broadcast in the future when it is not or out of context
• Defamation
• Extortion
• Being targeted for having certain political thought
• Being targeted by perpetrators of acts of violence, theft, or nuisance (think swatting)
• Being manipulated into making purchasing or life descisions that are not in your best interest
• Systematic or discrete racial, sexual, religious or other identity discrimination
• …

The usual response to a list like this goes something along the lines of, bah, none of that will happen to me, I’m a goody-two-shoes. That advice is about as good as saying “I’m a good driver, I won’t get into a crash, so I don’t need to wear a seatbelt”. Back to my point, the consequences of information used against you are too far and too abstract for people to accept.

The problem isn’t that people don’t care. The problem is that the negative consequences are too abstract/too far to see. Not so different than smoking or climate change denial.

What does spam/abusive use have to do with Threads specifically.

Also, can you justify your concerns? You just stated a few words without saying why it is a concern. This article did a pretty good job of not only stating the same concern words you used, but why the fears are a bit overblown.
