Limonene , to politics in Biden Faces Another ‘Uncommitted’ Test as More States Rebel

What ad blocker? I used uBlock origin without any issue, although I have a lot of custom filters.

Limonene , to politics in Biden Faces Another ‘Uncommitted’ Test as More States Rebel

Do you even know how a primary works? This can't possibly reduce Biden's chance of winning (not in the primary, not in the election).

Limonene , to politics in Biden Faces Another ‘Uncommitted’ Test as More States Rebel

I would be voting "Uncommitted" tomorrow if I didn't already have Covid. It's not so severe that I couldn't vote, but it is definitely contagious enough that I can't safely go to a voting site.

Limonene , to politics in White Rural Trump Supporters Are a Threat to Democracy

Headlines like this are problematic. I think we can all agree that Trump has done a lot of damage to democracy in the US, but are rural Trump supporters really more dangerous than urban Trump supporters? That claim is suspect, and the article provides no evidence to support it (it provides evidence that most Trump supporters are rural, which is a totally different claim.)

And saying that white rural Trump supporters are worse than non-white rural Trump supporters is an even more serious claim. It's racially discriminatory, and seems totally baseless in this article.

The article has no evidence of these claims, and seems to indicate that the book doesn't even make the claims of the headline.

(I'm not objecting to the claims that Trump supporters are mostly rural and mostly white. That is common knowledge.)

Limonene , to Selfhosted in Help for self host gaming server and some app

Using a VPN (like Tailscale or Netbird) will make setup very easy, but probably a bit slower, because they probably connect through the VPN service's infrastructure.

My recommended approach would be to use a directly connected VPN, like OpenVPN, that just has two nodes on it -- your VPS, and your home server. This will bypass the potentially slow infrastructure of a commercial VPN service. Then, use iptables rules to have the VPS forward the relevant connections (TCP port 80/443 for the web apps, TCP/UDP port 25565 for Minecraft, etc.) to the home server's OpenVPN IP address.

My second recommended approach would be to use a program like openbsd-inetd on your VPS to forward all relevant connections to your real IP address. Then, open those ports on your home connection, but only for the VPS's IP address. If some random person tries to portscan you, they will see closed ports.

Limonene , to Political Memes in lesser of two evils

I am NOT ok with Biden. I'm going to vote for him anyway, because in the next term he will be less bad for Gaza than Trump would be. Even taking into account Biden's current genocide.

Limonene , to politics in Pelosi suggests Putin has financial influence over Trump

Regardless of whether this narrative is tired, or a decade old, it is still very relevant right now. Trump is a Russian agent. It is essential not to let him hand over the US to Russia.

Limonene , to politics in Pelosi suggests Putin has financial influence over Trump

Any citations? I mean, the more recent stuff is obvious, because Trump just comes out and says it. He basically admits he's a Russian agent.

But what about the 1987 full page ad? Is that referring to this: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ilanbenmeir/that-time-trump-spent-nearly-100000-on-an-ad-criticizing-us

If so, that ad doesn't say anything about NATO. The ad recommends pulling support for Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf, and most of all Japan. Although Trump's ad is fucking stupid, this ad doesn't say anything about any NATO countries.

Limonene , to Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics. in Column: Biden's Western solar plan sounds scary. But it's better than climate change

Subsidizing solar may help with climate change, but a better choice would be taxing carbon dioxide emissions in proportion to the actual damage that they do. If coal and gas were taxed according to their actual harm, the market price of electricity would increase to its fair price, and make solar viable without needing the government to organize it. However, due to battery costs and short battery lifespans, I suspect the free market would pick nuclear over solar.

Limonene , to Gaming in Has also maintained an active playerbase for 1500+ years

>not a single balance update since the 8th century

You're just begging AnarchyChess to correct you.

Limonene , to Biodiversity in ‘Laying claim to nature’s work’: plant patents sow fear among small growers

Seeds shouldn't be covered by patents. When you buy a patented item from a patent holder (or a manufacturer that licensed the patent) then First Sale Doctrine says that you can do whatever you want with it without needing to pay for a patent license. In the case of a seed, that means you could resell it to someone, you could roast and eat it, or you could plant it in the ground. But unlike other inventions, a seed's purpose is to create more of itself. By buying a seed, you are implicitly buying the ability to make more seeds. If First Sale Doctrine allows you to use the patented product how you want, then it allows you to grow more seeds, because that's just what seeds do.

Limonene , to Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion in By Any Means Necessary: Iran, Hamas, and the Left

This article seems pretty bogus. In the US, I haven't heard a single person voice any support for Hamas, and at least half the people I know are leftwing. They support the Palestinian civilians, not Hamas.

Can anyone provide a citation for even a single one of the "displays of support for Hamas and radical Islamists from young Western leftists"?

Limonene , to Linux in What does Ubuntu do when LTS is supported for 12 years, but PHP is not?

In many cases, they will cherrypick security fixes and other major bugfixes from the bleeding edge version, and put those fixes in the old versions of the software.

This is the same thing the PHP folks would do while the old PHP is supported. Once the old PHP is out of support but Ubuntu LTS is still in support, then the Ubuntu folks have to put in the extra work to do the cherrypicking.

Limonene , to xkcd in xkcd #2867: DateTime

C++ user with operator overloading: "T2 minus T1."

Let someone else implement the class. There's probably a library for it.
