I first saw this trick used in an episode of Burn Notice, which was (in my opinion) during the peak of the USA channel’s golden era
Yeah, everyone knows the correct pronunciation is Chip-ōl-tay

Hell yeah! Crackstyle, a true classic


An incredibly enjoyable space romp about first contact, id highly recommend this one to anyone who is big on sci-fi books
I wonder what clientele Sappho tended to service 🤔, guess we’ll never know


Because bumbling into failures is the tactic he chooses to achieve the goals of his donors, not his constituents but the people who have given him the money to get into his position of power in the first place specifically so that he can pretend to be on board with improving the country only to torpedo anything that looks like it might improve people’s lives if that improvement means his donors missing out on even $1


I was following along when they initially announced it and while I personally think its an awful idea, it did seem to stem not from a profit motive but an intention to make Wikipedia easier to use and more effective, and when the vast majority of contributors and editors responded to tell Wikipedia that it was an atrocious idea and that they shouldn’t do it they listened and scrapped the plan.
My point being, isn’t it better as a whole that they’re willing to consider new things but will also listen to the feedback they get from their users and maintainers and choose not to implement ideas that are wildly unpopular?
Writing off all of Wikipedia (the most effective tool for collaborative knowledge collection in human history) just because they announced a well intentioned tool addition and then scrapped the plan when they realized it was unpopular and would likely degrade their platform seems short sighted at best imo.


Correct me if im wrong, but haven’t they since gone back on AI integration, and are no longer planning any, after backlash from their contributors?


You can see in the video that he climbs out of the same red van as the ICE thugs, so that seems like a solid bet to me


Ive got a reverse proxy config that was available in the Audiobookshelf github documentation, I was mainly struggling to understand how to get all of the parts working together. Thanks for the help


Is 172.17.0.1 like dockers loopback for its own services?


I had considered the VPN route, but i think its enough of a technical hurdle for other people that it would stop my parents and friends from being able/willing to get onto the audiobookshelf server


I had considered not using nginx for precisely those reasons, but like the plex server i want to make it available to my family and friends and so the nginx reverse proxy build seemed to be the most widely applicable and still secure option so I only need to tell them to download audiobookshelf and point it at the correct domain name.


Thank you so much this is very helpful, I’ll definitely be taking a run at it with all of this advice in mind this week. When you mention running the whole thing as a single stack does that mean getting all of it running inside a single docker container such that it only takes the 1 docker run command? Is it a requirement to get them able to talk or just a more elegant way to have the entirety of the server running in a singular container instead of spread across several?


I know, and that’s on my to-do list, but I wanted to get this up and running at least once before upgrading and potentially having to start from square 1.


I’m not sure if this is intended seriously or not, but eradication of any species or subspecies of any animal comes with a very high risk of potential unintended consequences that can be almost impossible to predict and worse overall than the problem they sought to fix in the first place. Our approach should be focused on methods to decrease the infection rate of West Nile, decrease the rate at which bites happen or improve identification and treatment for West Nile before we jump to something radical like driving an entire subspecies to extinction. Nature is an incredibly complex system that is highly interconnected and humanity is already stressing it as a whole quite a bit at the moment, any one species loss could spark a cascade that could drive an entire biome to the brink without something else to potentially fill that niche. And it would be impossible to know beforehand what might trigger something like that.


Every time I see this video I will watch the whole thing and upvote it. Its always a worthwhile reminder.
My strategy is I take 1 package of the black Buldak ramen and cook it with 2 packages of Maruchan ramen and then I use 1 of the Maruchan packets with the Buldak seasoning packets to season the whole thing, and if I want it to be a bit more substantial I’ll drop an egg in there while it’s boiling until the yolk is the right amount of runny
