  • I don’t care what they say because they’re liars. That’s the difference. There’s objectively no value in meeting liars half way. There’s no value in “hearing them out” and there’s no value in acting as though we just need to empathize harder.

    They don’t care if they lie as long as it furthers their goal, they don’t care to hear what anyone else thinks, and they don’t have any interest in empathy. If any of my prior statements were false then we wouldn’t be where we are.

    Your attempt to normalize Nazis is fucked up, to be honest. I am not a hateful person, I am done giving hateful people comfort. You should be ashamed for trying to equate the two concepts.



  • It was mostly uneventful, to be honest. I downloaded the two apps (static admin and the php app), tossed them into /opt/www, and set up nginx to serve PHP. The config in the main app had a section for my Postgres settings and the docs gave the instructions on putting the default server configuration into the static site.

    The only challenge was actually rather silly: I don’t use PHP so it took me a bit to understand why apt install php installed Apache when I had already installed nginx. Once I found php-fpm it was smooth sailing from there.



  • After a long career in tech, one of the things I start to push for when I inevitably take over ops at my new job is to eliminate the silly names.

    I don’t do it because I hate fun, I do it because when someone yells, “Squirtle has dropped off the network!” I don’t want to have to go consult a lookup table to learn that Squirtle is a staging environment postgres replica and not the primary billing database.

    As a result, I apply the same standards to my home network without shame.
