ayyy, we needed a progression from CDLC Player!

what about Molly, then?

what will this mean for the upcoming motorola phones that can come with gOS installed?

it’s both if they have daddy’s trust fund – a rotten chicken laying rotten eggs. if they somehow started without being born into immense wealth, then they chose to step on everyone they could to ensure having power over others

there’s plenty of art that predates jung or hellmut, by one or more centuries, depicting alchemy as a spiritual process (opus magnum). much of its depiction is influenced by abrahamic religions (but not exclusively). i think its safe to assume colonialism played the same problematic role in both of our understandings around its origin. nonetheless, the framework seems to have existed long before the victorian era by my understanding, though i’d agree there are old and new interpretations alike that uphold purity culture/white supremacy.

i treat the metaphorical alchemy much like 12-tet music as we know it: the church propagated it, but influences internal and external to the church can still grow into something else (e.g. music that would protest/defy/have nothing to do with the church). alchemy as an understanding of death/rebirth cycles through heat/pressure/blood/sweat/tears is sensible to anyone observing the natural world (e.g. pagans and ancient greeks saw this), and (for example) the notion of “burning away impurities” in alchemy doesn’t have to be intertwined with white supremacy purification but instead transforming perpetually. finding old information can be difficult/frustrating when so much of it gets sucked into a new-age bs vortex.

with all of that said, i’m really interested in what you said regarding eastern texts that circumvent aforementioned problematic translation/appropriation about internal and chemical alchemy alike, and medieval and renaissance magic, and would love to learn more if you have any links/book titles to share!

not sure if joking as a bit. do you not think it can be both?

extra humorous if alchemy is only taken as a literal proto-chemistry, disregarding its symbolic roots as proto-psychology (i.e.a type of self-work therapy)

Vampires do self-host. They

• use liquid temperature regulation
• transmit P2P to flash images on new devices
• have a future-proof frontend
• use cloud backup
• unless you caught one by surprise, their only real surface of attack requires physical access to the backend

I hear about people wanting alternatives to discord though I never got into using it too much personally, but does anyone know about whether or not Revolt chat is a good open-source self-hostable solution?

Makes sense. The videos I saw about setting it up mentioned a headless chrome browser. But I’m new to self-hosting and didn’t know if it had to be chrome or if you could use a better option, since you can use an OLLAMA instead of chatgpt for example

This looks really cool. Can anyone explain to me if a headless chrome browser is dangerous the way a regular chrome browser is? I’m only hesitant because I don’t know

This is good to know because I’m learning about nginx currently, so I’m glad it has practical use without opening up my network 🤘

What a relief, thanks for the clarity! I have vague memories of doing that as a teenager to play various games with friends, which sounds like something risky a teenager would do 😅

Shoutout to @Estebiu@lemmy.dbzer0.com for helping me appreciate the joy of docker compose. I got to set up Navidrome and it’s been great!

With that said, I have a security-related question: at what point in self-hosting am I exposed to the outside internet that warrants things like reverse proxies and other security measures? I’m currently typing router IPs (e.g. 192.168.x.x) to access the services, so is my machine exposed if the only people intending to connect are local on our wireless network?

try using docker compose instead of docker, it makes everything so much clearer

It’s absurd how right you are — I just figured that out and everything suddenly works perfectly

Good to know, thank you for the tips!

Total noob to Docker (desktop for windows) and I’m just trying to figure out how (and where) to add a config to my Navidrome image or change lines on the image itself, to point it to my music library and create admin login credentials (ಥ﹏ಥ) If I can accomplish that then I eventually want to try Immich or NextCloud afterward.

I want to switch to Linux but I’m not sure where to start! I want to

• play current-gen games (graphically speaking) on steam, as well as
• lots of retro games with Launchbox/RetroArch
• do 3D modeling in blender, and
• produce music in a free DAW.

I don’t know if any of those factors impose restrictions due to software/hardware differences (or if that even makes a difference), but I want to move over everything I can into a linux environment
