Don’t Fall for the Third-Party Trick
  • Either you think reform will liberate the working class from capitalist oppression, or you think it can't and people should just shut up about it already.

    Don’t Fall for the Third-Party Trick
  • Jesus christ, that's just not what socialism is.

    There's a reason why social-democrats are castigated in communist circles. Social-democratic policy is always inevitably eroded because social safety nets don't solve the fundamental contradiction of capitalism. It isn't a matter of 'getting out the vote'

  • Almost as if the point of socialism is to strip away the the means of production from the capitalists in order to install a dictatorship of the proletariat, and not simply apply social safety-net band-aids so that capitalism can continue to function.

    American liberals are so exhausting in their selective application of definitions.

    Former Vice President Dick Cheney to vote for Kamala Harris
  • Maybe I'm just that nagging pessimist everyone hates, but the more these complete-fucking-sociopaths publicly endorse Harris, the more I worry that the democratic platform will hold on to those voters and cling to the chauvinist policies they come with.

    Sure, it's fun to watch Trump get ejected from his party like a parasite from a rectum, but this feels like one of those 'live long enough to see yourself become the villan' moments that I hope I'm wrong about.

    Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
  • Browsing their coms can be a pretty unique experience, especially if you go in with a preformed idea of what their communities are like. There's a huge spread of interests and experiences, and sometimes you can be browsing a niche community and forget that these were the people posting BPB on lemmy.world threads a year ago.

    Knowing the academic writings and history they're referencing helps a lot with understanding where they are coming from, even if you may not agree with all of it.

    Woman describes horror of learning husband drugged her so others could rape her
  • I guess they are speculating that he did? Apparently they found a folder on his computer with pictures of her in underwear that she didn't recognize or remember taking, but she obviously doesn't have any memory of being a part of the sexual abuse since he was allegedly drugging them.

    I didn't read the story my wife did, she was just conveying it to me so I might have misunderstood something

    Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
  • This is the most reasonable response.

    A lot of people here have long since made up their mind about hexbear based both on repeated meta posting on the topic and possibly a bad experience or two with them on a topic they assumed was uncontested but is a landmine topic for communists of a particular bent

    I've personally never had a bad experience with hexbears, possibly because I'm more empathetic to their perspective, but more likely because I know when it's time to disengage. There are users on lemmy who feel strongly about a certain topic that's abrasive to hexbear users and dig in their heels when jeered at (or maybe feel a personal responsibility to stand them down) and are usually the users here who have the most complaints, because the standard reaction from hexbear users is irreverence (both the users and the mods).

    Unlike a lot of liberals coming from reddit, communists often don't have delusions about the neutrality of moderation and so they'll ban you on a whim if they think you're there to stir shit. They use the ban hammer judiciously even with users on their own instance. That's often the biggest complaint both with hexbear and with lemmy.ml.

    edit: a working solution is proposed by @Lifebandit666@feddit.uk below:

    >So you’re trying to get 2 instances of qbt behind the same Gluetun vpn container?

    >I don’t use Qbt but I certainly have done in the past. Am I correct in remembering that in the gui you can change the port?

    >If so, maybe what you could do is set up your stack with 1 instance in, go into the GUI and change the port on the service to 8000 or 8081 or whatever.

    >Map that port in your Gluetun config and leave the default port open for QBT, and add a second instance to the stack with a different name and addresses for the config files.

    >Restart the stack and have 2 instances.

    -----

    Has anyone run into issues with docker port collisions when trying to run images behind a bridge network (i think I got those terms right?)?

    I'm trying to run the arr stack behind a VPN container (gluetun for those familiar), and I would really like to duplicate a container image within the stack (e.g. a separate download client for different types of downloads). As soon as I set the network_mode to 'service' or 'container', i lose the ability to set the public/internal port of the service, which means any image that doesn't allow setting ports from an environment variable is stuck with whatever the default port is within the application.

    Here's an example .yml:

    ``` services: gluetun: image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest container_name: gluetun cap_add: - NET_ADMIN environment: - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=mullvad - VPN_TYPE=[redacted] - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=[redacted] - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=[redacted] - SERVER_COUNTRIES=[redacted] ports: - "8080:8080" #qbittorrent - "6881:6881" - "6881:6881/udp" - "9696:9696" # Prowlarr - "7878:7878" # Radar - "8686:8686" # Lidarr - "8989:8989" # Sonarr restart: always

    qbittorrent: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest container_name: "qbittorrent" network_mode: "service:gluetun" environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - TZ=CST/CDT - WEBUI_PORT=8080 volumes: - /docker/appdata/qbittorrent:/config - /media/nas_share/data:/data) ``` Declaring ports in the qbittorrent service raises an error saying you cannot set ports when using the service network mode. Linuxserver.io has a WEBUI_PORT environment variable, but using it without also setting the service ports breaks it (their documentation says this is due to CSRF issues and port mapping, but then why even include it as a variable?)

    The only workaround i can think of is doing a local build of the image that needs duplication to allow ports to be configured from the e variables, OR run duplicate gluetun containers for each client which seems dumb and not at all worthwhile.

    Has anyone dealt with this before?

    'but why are you only complaining about DEMOCRATS?'

    It's educate, AGITATE, organize

    edit: putting this at the top so people understand the basis for this:

    >You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.
