Jesus people they didn’t ask for 20 questions, they asked you to do a thing for them. You want the $20 or not?

You are just wrong, and it’s not even worth the effort it takes to dismiss the fact that your assumptions are all baseless.

The third party lane has been viable since Obama failed as a progressive populist.

If Bernie would have run as independent in 2016 alone, he would have won. And this would have held for 2020 or 2024. But that’s not who Bernie is. But his personality aside, the lane is and has been open.

The fact is that most voters aren’t loyal to a party but actually despise both major parties. 2024 not Biden and Trump were polling at historic lows for any race in the past 80 years. People are looking for a person to vote for, not a party.

This naive response is actually the biggest barrier, and I’m not saying it wouldn’t have been a multi year project. But if it had started in earnest in 2016; if Bernie would have run as independent. The lane was absolutely open.

That all being said, the US is entering into a period of one party rule due to its persistent unwillingness to have entertained third parties.

Ok. Your opinion has been noted and dismissed. You clearly don’t know fuck about shit.

Yes. And if we had started on this project in the aftermath of 2016, we’d have a viable third party.

Attacking a guy running as an outsider in Maine for being pro-worker, pro-gun, and fed up with the system kind of sounds like they’re misreading the electorate. Like… don’t threaten Mainers with a good time, you know?

Yeah. I totally agree. And, full disclosure, I was in a zoom with Graham last night (an organization I volunteer/ organize with is going to endorse him, and this is a huge hint for your doxxing effort). And I did try to directly ask him about this, but I was late to the zoom and couldn’t get my question in. He also seemed pretty rattled.

These kinds of “attacks” aren’t going to stop and I think its a strategic mistake to apologize, depending on where you are at in the candidate cycle. Graham caught on leaning into the kinds of things he said in his reddit account, not leaning away from them. And the best model for that who found great success in doing so is the, now meteoric, Zohran Mamdani.

Zohran didn’t lean away from calling Israels actions a genocide: he leaned into it. And he made political hay in doing so). Graham isn’t wrong in saying that there have been no demonstrated diplomatic solutions to fascism: so don’t back down from the statement.

But I don’t think it’s hard to get this stuff at all.

Okay, then show me: If its just that easy, find my old reddit account.

You are here on lemmy. That means you are EASILY more technically competent than 97% of the staff at any given newsroom in the US. And I know for a fact I’m an easily doxx-able account.

I’ve built tools like this and have some knowledge of the price for API’s that give these kinds of access. The API’s you are imagining to exist (and a few do) are priced at the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollar per month. There are minimum purchases. Like you don’t even get basic access without getting to price points in the hundreds of thousands. And even then, you need skilled operators, technicians, and programmers to build around those API’s to get the kinds of information you are looking for.

I think you are massively underestimating the technical skills and overestimating availability of the tools required to do these things.

What I would suggest is that this information came through the work of a private investigation outfit; a contractor that specializes in this kind of work. I also don’t think its coincidence that the governor also announced their candidacy for Senate on the same day. I would guess that someone “in the know” had a PI outfit building this profile and released the information to CNN to try and sabotage GP. Not necessarily someone in the office, but some one with knowledge of the plan and independent funding to carry out the work.

Yeah its interesting. It seems like even finding pii would require more technology than a standard newsroom has access to.

Any one know how they linked the account to to him?

Yeah but I really need to update the kernel

This is so pretty 😍🤩💦!!

I’ve been considering a micro rack to support the journey, but primarily for house old laptop chassis as I convert them into proxmox resources.

Any thoughts or comments on you choice of this rack?

it’s like, e-waste recycling but cooler.

Oh shit we can direct embed peer tube links?

So, could you add additional old hardware to this “pool” to use as needed?

Pretty much. You just take any old scraps of hardware, throw proxmox on it, and it does the rest. Then you just follow the menu and click through to say how many cores you want, how much RAM, how much HD storage, and what image like its a Taco Bell menu.

In a few seconds you’ve got a new machine spun up with its own IP, which you can remote into from the original machine, or really, any other machine on the network.

I only got into it seriously a few months ago (I’ve self hosted in the past, but it was a PITA), and I was gobsmacked at how easy it was.

You could literally be up and running in 15 minutes.

Think of it more as a “distro” bazooka.

Its linux, yes. But what it allows you to do is take old machines that you might have left retired, and create “pools” of compute resource, that you can then deploy whatever image floats your boat onto any size machine you like.

Say for example, like me, you have an old System76 Serval. Its a good processor (6 cores, 32gb ram (ddr4), and a 2070. I haven’t used it as a daily driver since 2022.

I put put proxmox on it, and stuck it next to my NAS, close to my router. Then I took 2 cores and 6gb, and installed Ubuntu LTS on it, and then installed coolify. Using coolify I spun up jellyfin, some home assistant stuff, and a postgres for one of my work projects.

Then I took the other 4 cores and 28 gb of RAM and put PopOS to use as a development machine for that work project. It can stay alive as long as the project is going, and then when I’m finished, I can give that compute back to the pool and redeploy it.

It also makes it incredibly easy and fast to test different versions of Linux (or I think you can do windows from an image this way too, but don’t quote me).

Have you tried proxmox yet?
