God that sounds horrific. I had no idea.

In my city it would be outside the Library, which happens to be "the town square", on the main street.

Yeah, it really depends on the nature of the societal collapse.

I can imagine situations in which being able to press a gold necklace into the right palm might get you out of a tricky situation.

On the other hand it's hard to imagine a situation where a horde of gold bullion in your safe at home would be very helpful.

There's no benefit to displaying the real thing if you can't tell the difference.

In most cases you're free to believe its the actual fossil.

All this stuff is still around, you just ignore it in favour of things like lemmy which are better at stimulating dopamine production.

I basically just avoid exposing ports from containers unless I really do want them exposed on the host?

Most services go through my reverse proxy, traefik.

Things like databases don't publish ports on the host because they're only accessed internally, using their container name.

Sure, but 4 is easier to remember?

Can't they use "war" as an excuse to suspend elections ?

Yeah I've been using wireguard for a long time myself personally, and more recently for a small team to access an intranet.

I'm a big fan. After a half hour or so trying to understand configs it's pretty manageable.

For most of human history people who couldn't do math, or read, or understand a map, have been communicating directions to each other.

4 directions is just enough to tell someone which way to face, without being too many to remember.

This. A cast iron pan just stores so much more heat than anything else. IDK the sciency chef-talk but if you like meat to look crusty and golden on the outside but tender on the inside then this is the way.

I basically just completely disregard any bullshit "seasoning" advice, and I've never had any rust or whatever. I don't scrub it with steel wool or whatever but I don't scrub anything with that. Sometimes I put a few cm of water in it and let that boil off any crusted on whatever.

network effect. There's fewer people here so there's fewer people here.

That said, I like it just how it is and would caution anyone against wishing for more users.

Don't focus on getting more users. Focus on making the content here the best it can be.

It's inevitable that the quality of the experience here will change with more users. Whether it's a net positive or negative remains to be seen.

To be sure, these are the "good old days" of lemmy.
