The meanest people I have ever known were church people. My dad left us when I was young, my mom was left a single parent. Seeking refuge in the church, we started attending regularly. In that time I felt things from others, ranging from genuine kindness all the way to pity. However, as things progressed and my mother became more involved with the church, the more people started to talk. From casual mentions, to annoyance that she would show up, to talking behind her back.

Was she super pleasant to be around? No, I think she can be awkward and has a hard time making friends - and those people picked up on that and ran with it. It wasn’t so long until she was excluded from certain events, that there were more “special” bible studies that she would her invite would be “forgotten”. She wanted so much to be included, but she didn’t fit their paradigm of… I don’t even know what.

Oh they preach of acceptance and forgiveness, of not judging, but they are some of the most hurtful people out there. I don’t know what I believe personally, but I’ll avoid going into a church for as long as I can.

That mission was one of the best in all of Halo. Where you really feel how dire and ruined everything is. Mixed with running around actual civilian places contrasted to the numerous forerunner built, bunkers, or nature locations or the other games and it really hits home.

(Outskirts and New Mom asa got close, but with the graphics of the time and mostly being outside it didn’t quite hit the same)

I’ve never seen the full version! Thanks!

And I loathe this person who always shows up in the comments. The only way to live fully moral is to completely decouple from society.

I didn’t think I can answer this without being crushed under the irony

Me? Yes, but I am an outlier, and it’s not because I’m doing “well”. It’s more because my parents were both horrible with money. 2 mortgages on the house, multiple car loans, mom was part of an MLM, and we were a family of 4 on a government worker’s salary. One of my dad’s complaints was that he couldn’t go out to eat once a week with coworkers because we couldn’t afford it. In addition they were horrible with credit and loans, took out as much as they could and then paid off things routinely late. I have no idea where they are now but last time I checked their credit score (for them, because they don’t know how), it was in the low 400s.

We grew up poor. Well, I hesitate to say poor because I know there are those who had it worse, and I do blame them for their choices for a good chunk of it too.

Thanks!

OOTL - What show is this?

That particular one is long gone I’m afraid, but it’s essentially just docker compose down, tar like I did above, docker compose up -d, and then I used rclone to upload it

Ah the tolerance paradox rears it’s head again. “You won’t let me be intolerant so obviously you hate free speech!” Nope, fuck off with hate.

You’re right to swing your fist ends when it hits someone else’s face. You can talk about anything you want, but the second it is hateful to someone else you lost your right.

Seconded, and great callout @[email protected] , yes part of my script was to stop the container gracefully, tar it, start it again, and then copy the tar somewhere. it “should” be fine, in a production environment where you could have zero downtime I would take a different approach, but we’re selfhosters. Just schedule it for 2am or something.

Oh, and feel free to test! Docker makes it super easy. Just extract the tar somewhere else on the drive, point your container to the new volume, see if it spins up. Then you’ll know your backup strategy is working!

If you’re using docker (like your DBs run in docker), then I think you’re overthinking it personally. Just back up the volume that the container uses, then you can just plop it back and it will carry on carefree.

I usually did a simple tar cvf /path/to/compressed.tar.gz /my/docker/volume for each of my volumes, then backed up the tar. Kept symlinks and everything nice and happy. If you do that for each of your volumes, and you also have your config for running your containers like a docker-compose, congrats that’s all you need.

I don’t know who said you can’t just back up the volume, to me that’s kind of the point of docker. It’s extreme portability.

damn, RTL text is no trivial matter, kudos to them for getting that done

Personal emails, messaging, anything

and if they let me buy it license free I would. However between the options of buying a license to play a game whenever I want vs renting it for 1 month, I’ll take the license.

Eh. That’s not a big of a loss as you’re making it out to be. I purposely buy my games, I want to own them. (Asterisk with licensing and all). Point being that I don’t agree with Ubisoft that we need to get used to Games as a Service. I don’t want to rent my games. Even mid tier games, I want to own them.

Ah, that makes sense. I didn’t realize we had asked for a new UI, here I was thinking we just wanted basic quality of life updates

How could be late?! We give you three whole minutes to change classes! I remember that shit. Thank God I’m out. God forbid you need to go to the bathroom, grab a drink of water, or have a quick mental breakdown

Clickbait title is clickbaity. It looks good, definitely a helper, but I really dislike saying it’s “going hard” after programmers. I think we’ll have to level up for sure, but I’ve coded with AI now for a while, and it’s great at giving me ideas, starting off points, but god some of the code it vomits out is just garbage.

So many times I’ve written “No, it doesn’t work that way, I told you to pass in X”

I’m sorry! You’re right, …

Wait there’s a community one?

Bingo, more children to them is simply more consumers. Economy to up up up
