Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

In the words of Anton LaVey, they are addicted to the “good guy badge”. They’d rather die feeling morally clean than get their hands dirty to save their country, neighbors, and values. The liberals I hear judging people for violent protest the most are the ones who are privileged enough to have not personally felt the consequences yet.

In my opinion, it is a grotesque cowardice to admonish people for fighting for their lives just because you don’t have to.

I think that part of it is that the authorities are confident that we can’t do much. In the 60’s, wide scale protest that was not a preamble to a riot was rare. In recent times, everyone expects things to go off peacefully and just come to an end at some point. This plays directly into their hands, and they are confident that we are toothless.

It’s not the kink, but the table manners that I shame.

I’m not saying that they manipulated results or anything, I only think their method of mailing 10,000 people wasn’t thorough enough to draw the conclusion they drew.

It barely matters in the end—the golden turd won.

https://www.surveylegend.com/customer-insight/generational-differences-in-surveys/

A quick google search shows that there are massive differences in how willing different generations are to respond to surveys, especially relating to how they are delivered. 40% of gen-z will abandon a survey if they are asked for personally identifying information.

Another user in this thread mentioned that this particular survey was delivered by mail, which means that this was only able to reach people with a mailing address, who actually read non essential mail, and who are willing to respond to this survey.

So you deny that political polls have been increasingly incorrect over the last three election cycles?

“Most credible polling organization in the US” means just about nothing these days, in my opinion.

It started on 4Chan and then moved to 8Chan. It is pretty much impossible to know if it was the same person on each site.

There is a difference between attesting that people wouldn’t have voted for Trump and attesting that this survey does not prove anything. The latter seems to be the only thing we can deduce here.

[Promoting] Gluetun: The Little VPN Client That Could

My journey with docker started with a bunch of ill fated attempts to get an OpenVPN/qBittorrent container running. The thing ended up being broken and never worked right, and it put me off of VPN integration for another year or so.

Then recently I found Gluetun…and holy fucking cow. This thing is the answer to every VPN need I could possibly think of. I have set it up with 3 different providers now, and it has been more simple and reliable than the clients made by the VPN providers themselves every time.

If you combine the power of Gluetun with the power of Portainer, then you can even easily edit settings for your existing containers and hook them up to a VPN connection in seconds (or disconnect them). Just delete the forwarded ports in the original container, select the Gluetun container as the network connection, and then forward the same ports in Gluetun. Presto, you now have a perfectly functioning container connected to a VPN with a killswitch.

So if any of y’all on the high seas have considered getting more serious about your privacy, don’t do what I did and waste a bunch of time on a broken container. Use Gluetun. Love Gluetun. Gluetun is the answer.

Media Library Statistics Display for Public Viewing (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I’m hoping to find some kind of statistical display for my media library that I can show on my website. I found Medialytics, which is a little rough, but essentially what I’m looking for, but it isn’t secure enough for public display because the Plex token is included in the script for the page.

Does anybody know of a good statistics display for a large media library that would have a publicly displayable page similar to uptime-kuma?

[Wishlist] BOINC Screensaver with WebUI (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I have found several docker containers that allow you to run a BOINC server as a container, but I haven’t seen any that give you access to the BOINC screensaver. My ideal would be if the screensaver itself was shown on a dedicated port so it could be used easily as a display without any controls popping up.

Sadly, I have no idea how to make this or how to get a custom container made. I guess I’m just throwing this idea out to the universe in hope that it happens someday.
