As someone else pointed out, x-lax gives you “smooth movements.” they had an advertising campaign in I think the 1980s. The slogan was “smooth move x-lax,” and it entered the vernacular slang for a decade or so. Generally, it was used in a sarcastic way when somebody does something that is specifically not smooth.

It’s used as the punchline here because it is intentionality so cringeworthy.

Actual photo of my mind.

I hate these old pictures that show the prize but never the meal.

There are two very narrow bands of people who would pass this test.

Vanta maki roll

One worm, two worm, spice worm, blue worm

I have no Idea how we got from bean memes to corn memes, but this is my new headcannon

Wasn’t there some famous scientist who said, if God exists, he sure loves beetles?

It’s also worth noting that science can’t prove humans are conscious.

There’s a reason it’s called “the hard problem.”

There were absolutely protests under Obama. Things were bad.

There are bigger protests now under Trump. Things are worse.

Like I said, the math is pretty simple.

Please stop trying to rewrite history.

That only tells a small portion of the story. Here’s the full picture:

Obama also created DACA to protect kids without legal immigration status.

Trump has used ICE to arrest hundreds of US citizens, including government officials. Trump has expanded detention centers and instituted a brutally punitive system, including sending hundreds of people to El Salvador prison. Trump has expanded ICE to a larger force than most nations’ standing armies.

Anyone who thinks that the immigration system is better now than a decade ago must have their fingers in their ears.

Why are you pretending that liberals have not been calling for humane immigration reform for the past 40 years?

There are significantly more protests against ICE now because ICE is significantly worse. It’s basic math.

Yep, I even remember reading that people wanted the Nobel committee to rescind the prize after he launched the murder drone program.

TLDR That’s what happens when circles get squished together.

I never heard of this before, but it looks similarly easy to deploy. It requires Javascript instead of Python, which is the same to me although I’m sure others will have a strong preference for one or the other. Pretty nice interface though.

Genuinely curious: What advantage would you have from running it in a docker container?

In this economy, that’s the one present everyone can afford.

LOL well at least you know I’m not an AI. Fixing now.

I also had a lot of difficulty setting up NextCloud. Based on the various reviews and comments, it seems like I may have actually dodged a bullet.

In general, as I’ve tried different self-hosting solutions, I’ve found that using a dedicated solution for each purpose has given me better results. I use Radicale for contacts and Calendar, Immich for photos, Jellyfin for media (Navidrome for music is great, but I ended up keeping my music library in Jellyfin because I liked the client apps better).

I’m using OwnCloud for filesync, although I’m also testing CopyParty, which is pretty phenomenal and stupid simple.

Tailscale is GOAT. Some people have speculated that it could be subject to enshitification some day. It’s managed by a for-profit company, but everything they do is open source. There are already well-tested forks like HeadScale if you ever have the need to self-host it in the future.

NextCloud seems great if you can get it working and provides a lot of services in one. Some people have said that causes bloat and slowdown, so there are two sides to the coin.

Syncthing is likely not a good option for a file server. It’s great if you want to have a shared file or folder on multiple devices, especially if you just want to transfer files quickly and seamlessly. It’s fantastic at what it does, but it’s not a file server. There are a lot of opportunities for error when using Syncthing.
