Thank you for this reply

Can you give a top 5 list of things you disagree with in regard to the CCP?

Mom was 18, Dad 20 when they had my brother.
Mom was 20,Dad was 22 when they had me.

Mom was a narcissist, dad a weakling so no standing up for himself or the kids.
They lived as teens/tweens and had no handle on life nor how to raise kids.
One set of awesome grandparents, one set that severed contact with me and my brother 3 times.
I tried to kill myself at 13.

Dad severed contacts with me and my brother twice.

Mom got alzheimer at 58 and died soon after, was not allowed to attend funeral.

All in all I like my current life and have a great partner and two lovely kids. Awesome group of friends as well.

They should have never met, never have kids and certainly not at that age. It fucked me up something fierce.

There is a way for this to stop and you probably agree. Russia just has to stop and go home. That’s it, simple. But they will not. This indicates that the aggressor will not stop, whatever you do. You conceding by stopping yourself and handing over what the aggressor wants will not stop this war.

To put it simple: you have no control over what the aggressor does.

What you do control though is your own actions. And this entails to make the aggressor see that their actions are not tolerated. How do you achieve this proverbial “line in the sand”? By not letting them cross that line. What needs to be done to achieve that goal? By using force.

Bullies will not stop until you stop their aggression.

Your wish to “just stop already, concede and give in, go for a cease fire” will not deter nor stop the aggressor. History has shown us this simple fact time and time again. Your desire and wish for peace is noble and understandable but not realistic. I think deep down you know or realize this but let your desire for peace cloud this realization.

We are strange and weird monkeys as a species, having a moral concept or desire does not overcome this fact. Deal with it you must or your fellow monkeys will take your bananas and will give not two shits on how you feel or what your desires are.

Yep, you can. Came as a surprise to me as well at the time but you definitely can.

You probably got this already if you look ta the Tesseract page and how this all works but I wanted to share with you my docker-compose file to give you an idea how I did it. I find it helpful to look at examples of others sometimes.

Good luck!

If you like you could run Tesseract locally and use that as your UI front-end. It has filtering options and I quite like the overall look and feel of Tesseract.

I have it running on docker, route my nginx through it towards that container, works like a charm.

But then again, it seems the Lemmy developers are once again in "I don't give a f*ck" mode and keep breaking the API. This has basically made the developer of Tessaract give up on that project it seems: https://lemmy.world/post/26779656

Rant: as popular as Lemmy seems to be right now and continues to grow, we need some serious developers to work on Lemmy, not some snowflake child communist-wannabe nutjob. There, I said it.

Lemmy cares about their own ideology and nothing else.

no i don't, therefore you lie. why would "we" listen to a liar?

The 60's messed with us. Two things come to mind:

1. A large chunk of hippies who I met went fully opposite, they embraced capitalism and the opportunities presented to them due to unlocked access of education and society becoming and being less hierarchical. And then they pulled up the ladder, denying the next generation the same benefits.

2. Conservatives got collective heart attacks across the globe and a counter movement started to eradicate the things and goals achieved during the 60's. This took a couple of decades but we all know you can count on with conservatives, they have long goal vision and stamina.

So, the generation who got freedoms and opportunities of the likes you will most probably never ever see in your lifetime is almost dead, they will not help out and remedy this, they are done.

And we can see in the world right now what the counter movement of conservatives has achieved, they 'win' at just about every turn, especially politically. This is not likely to go away, it will probably get worse.

Enjoy the results of the 60's, hippies and conservative plans to tackle that pesky freedom and equality shit...
