Pretty sure the original image that gets used in the meme format is Steven Crowder and not Charlie Kirk because it was Crowder’s “change my mind” tour in a very similar vein to Kirk’s “prove me wrong” not sure which one came first though

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.

This is actually a plot point in Rick Riordans work. If you’re not familiar he writes YA novels about kids who are secretly demigod fighting monsters in a modern day setting and the specially mention that one of the telltale signs of demigods is ADHD for almost exactly the reasons you describe

Sweet, I appreciate the help. I don’t remember exactly what I wrote and the comment is currently removed, but if you can restore it I’ll add in the spoiler tags

Can do, how do I format spoiler tags on lemmy?

Finally finished the series last week for the first time and my god.

Holy shit, finished this one earlier today and I did not expect it to escalate that significantly. I figured they might recruit a second team, not quadruple their numbers and then that last brawl at the school for the blind was both awesome and kind of terrifying to actually imagine, really drives home how potent any sizeable force with good battle morphs can be, the sheer mayhem of that much going on at once was incredible. Kind of reminds me of the scene in LotR RotK when the gondorians are getting ready to defend the gates and then its trolls that come through, but this time it was the good guys busting it down.

Man, I’ve had the wrong Boole in my head this whole time? Guess I have a 0 somewhere that I should have a 1

The math fun fact I remember best from college is that Charles Boole invented Boolean algebra for his doctoral thesis and his goal was to create a branch of mathematics that was useless. For those not familiar with boolean algebra it works by using logic gates with 1s and 0s to determine a final 1 or 0 state and is subsequently the basis for all modern digital computing

I’ve been listening through all of the audiobooks since December and just finished this one. I never managed to get through the whole series as a kid, so this one was a first for me and Wow.

Safe to say after this one that the safe episodic status quo has been completed shattered, I know the series does a good job with serializing most of its big elements to be regular parts of the series like the chee and the elemist and krayak etc, but this one definitely feels like the start of the end game

The short story version is called Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang

Would you care to elaborate on why that is? I would say it’s easily the best piece of star wars media to come out since Disney took over, and arguably prior to that. It doesn’t get overly bogged down in trying to reference or shoehorn in references to other star wars characters like parts of The Mandalorian or the sequel trilogy and it tells a compelling and emotional narrative about the path one man takes to become a dedicated member of the resistance
