Awesome.

You not only solved your problem but learned a heap along the way.

I love searxng too btw. It’s the best way to search for the time being.

I’ve never used portainer sorry.

If you see the published port for a very short time then something might be crashing when it tries to start.

docker logs searxng from cli might be revealing

edit: I do have a searxng container and my compose.yml is very similar to yours. I guess we both copied the example. The only difference I can see is that you still have the env variables for UWSGI_WORKERS and UWSGI_THREADS. I just set both of those to 4 instead of using the SEARXNG_ env vars

Obviously.

Additionally, just fucking stop scammers from using fucking gift cards.

Surely it’s not that hard to detect that a gift card sold in Australia is being activated in Russia.

I’d just install debian because that’s what I use so that’s what I can most easily provide support for.

I know you’re joking but with flatpaks and app images you don’t even notice the oldness any more.

Sure ok. These filesystems are certainly superior in the ways you’ve described, but unless you were already considering changing to an fs like that, it’s probably not an appropriate solution to this simple problem.

Docks are pretty great now.

I have a dock at home and at work. Single cable to plug in and get proper peripherals, 2 + 1 monitors, and power.

It’s nice to be able to undock and go sit in a Cafe to read emails or do whatever you don’t need full regalia for.

I can see this working on a smaller form factor.

A particle of water may be surrounded by water but when we talk about water we’re usually referring to a body of water like that in a glass or pot rather than one particle thereof.

Is the water in that glass wet? No. The glass is wet.

A room can be “airy” but the air in that room is not “airy”.

A car can be painted but paint is not painted.

… and so on and so forth.

Whaaat.

I’m not necessarily challenging your opinion because aparently you’re going to die on this hill, but …

This is not a tiny hill.

But most people would say that single speed has none of the disadvantages of fixed.

As an aside, I have 3 bikes. I’ve never ridden a fixie but holy fuck I would love to have one.

I would find this very annoying.

I don’t have any credible feedback for you.

I dislike php. That’s my feeling. The vibe.

When I’m browsing self hostable things I avoid php unless it’s really the only option.

My completely unsupported “feeling” is that apps written in php are awkward and clunky and just less pleasant to host.

I’m sorry if that offends you, and I don’t care at all what you think of my opinion.

I only mentioned “php apps feel old” because I could see you were some kind of php devotee and that it would trigger you. Maybe look into that.

Lets back up the truck a little.

Sounds like a cool idea, why don’t you set it up?

This sarcastic little witticism required a sarcastic and witty response, which I provided.

Obviously I’m not going to set it up because, as I said in my earlier comments it’s a dreamy idea. I could go on to say, in the absence of such a technological solution, archive.org should still refrain from copyright infringement because they quite obviously aren’t viable with their current stance.

you’re licking the boots of record companies

You’ll have to help me understand how this is so. In my comments I laid out a plan to maintain archive.org’s data for no (or very little) cost or effort, while ensuring that those record company’s receive nothing.

For users, the value of archive.org is the data. However, that data has no value to litigators nor anyone else. You can literally let the existing organisation collapse, and take the data to form a new organisation.

If you want to interpret this plan as doing “nothing at all” then you’re free to do so.

However, and forgive me this final sarcasm, doing nothing at all would be more productive than a change.org petition.

Because I’m not facing a $700m legal claim with a change.org petition as my best defence.

That limits and gatekeeps access

Not necessarily, I wasn’t really proposing to just torrent everything. I was kinda dreaming of a more creative solution that trivialises access while abstracts the actual hosting away from individuals.

this kind of rights violation precisely needs to be normalized

Perhaps, but if so this just isn’t the way to achieve that. IA doesn’t seem sustainable.

There must be a lot of complicated aspects to this that I don’t understand.

The right course of action seems obvious to me…

Firstly spin out a separate organisation to manage the wayback machine. It shouldn’t be part of the pot defending against litigation like this.

Secondly, and I feel silly saying this but… don’t institutionalise the perpetration of rights violations? In the age of distributed databases and the dark web and the block chain and federation surely we can figure out a way to archive media that doesn’t put people or organisations at risk of litigation.

Finally, if the individuals involved with IA are not liable for the debts of IA then the organisation should fold because that’s practically free compared to defending against these litigious assholes.

Pretty much me.

I’ve been daily driving debian for many years. I’m very comfortable here.

In 2025 with docker containers and flatpaks the benefits of an atomic OS don’t feel very compelling.

Yeah I daily drive debian stable.

With flatpaks and docker I never run into problems with my applications being too old or whatever.

Nextcloud really does feel old.

Guy, everyone operates off their own limited experience.

LibreOffice has user defined functions that work just fine. You’re just illustrating my point really.
