They have official community apps now that they do themselves, and it’s amazing. I’ve switched all my apps over and I’ve had no problems since.

I really like truenas for nas but I agree with you on running vms/docker somewhere else. I ended up keeping truenas for the mass storage (the only thing I run on it is one virtual machine to hold proxmox backupserver on an ivol). I think the much better home platform for vms is proxmox. You get ar eally nice gui that makes everything pretty easy, it’s debian under the hood and with proxmox backup server you can very easily backup your virtual machines. It’s also very easy to mount nfs or cifs shares into docker containers so you can keep the bulk data of your docker environment directly on the nas, which makes managing backups dead simple.

"Female 'Samurai'

While 'samurai' is a strictly masculine term, the Japanese bushi class (the social class samurai came from) did feature women who received similar training in martial arts and strategy. These women were called “Onna-Bugeisha,” and they were known to participate in combat along with their male counterparts. Their weapon of choice was usually the naginata, a spear with a curved, sword-like blade that was versatile, yet relatively light.

Since historical texts offer relatively few accounts of these female warriors (the traditional role of a Japanese noblewoman was more of a homemaker), we used to assume they were just a tiny minority. However, recent research indicates that Japanese women participated in battles quite a lot more often than history books admit. When remains from the site of the Battle of Senbon Matsubaru in 1580 were DNA-tested, 35 out of 105 bodies were female. Research on other sites has yielded similar results."

If we're getting fussy about terminology, you might say 'subaltern,' which reflects a group's oppression. More radically, critical theorists sometimes say that all of us who are not among the political, economic, military, or religious elite are 'colonized.'

didgebaba OP ,
@didgebaba@c.im avatar

@Benfell @CommonMugwort @hazelnot @gorfram I'm more with Franz Fanon when it comes to the processes of colonisation. The result in the colonised is a sort of internalalised fascist, to paraphrase Deleuze and Guattari. Fanon identifies colonialism as a machine of “naked violence,” which “only gives in when confronted with greater violence”. In Fanon’s view, the Western bourgeoisie was “fundamentally racist” and its “bourgeois ideology” of equality and dignity was merely a cover for capitalist-imperialist rapacity. Access to the qualifiers of bourgeois identity (like money) are premised on this racism. In fact identity formation is critical in Fanon's analysis; colonialism is a total project, so the colonized find themselves adrift in abjection. But violence changes all of that. Violence is simultaneously a saying of no to colonialism and a saying of yes to the possibilities of post-colonial life.

TIL that the term "Mizrahi" is a reclaimed term, originally a racist term and slurrish, it's since been reclaimed by those Jews as a way to self-identify, especially for those Jews who live in Israel.

I've only heard it in the context of its reclaimed use, but knowing the history is important.

@dorit @histodons @israel

While I am am Ashkenazi, if someone identifies as a Mizrahi, you do not have the right to call them an "Arab Jew". You should always use the term that they use for self-identification.

In addition, I did not ask to be put on these groups, nor do I wish to engage with you any further.

If someone identifies as Sephardi or Mizrahi and someone else "re-classifies them" "Arab Jew", this is a form of erasure and possibly harassment.

My old friend (and for almost thirty years my family's doctor) Dan Johnson has a charity he started in memory of his son, Alec, who was drowned in 2014. One of the projects they are supporting is helping a couple who work in Haiti with abandoned children (and aren't part of the Haitian "orphanage industry"). The couple are raising funds to buy the compound they and the children are in, and I'm helping Dan by linking to https://cultivating-community.org/

Alec was my younger brother. He was a brilliant applied mathematician, changing how we use computers to understand magnetic reconnection. This work helped us to understanding better how the earth's magnetosphere interacts with solar wind, something that sounds esoteric until you realize that the stability of our power grid and satellite navigation depend on an accurate understanding. It will also be essential if we ever achieve power generation by nuclear fusion.

He wasn't just brilliant, though. He cared deeply about others, and always in meaningful and concrete ways. Shortly before he died, he was telling me excitedly about his plans to visit his friends Pierre and Natalie in Haiti, whom he had helped financially for years in their work, rescuing and rehabilitating so-called "orphans" who were mostly abandoned. Pierre knew about this intimately, because he himself was abandoned by his living mother, disowned by his living father, and abused as a restavek (literally, "stay-with") child-slave.

If this makes you more curious about the backstory for this project, the long version with more details is here:

@CoastalCoasting @neilhimself There's a lot of horror. If you want more horror, read the LUMOS report itself. It's a hard read. ☹

There has been a lot of "missions tourism" to Haiti, with good intentions. Many individuals have built relationships and helped others. But also many relationships have been abused. There is a difference between visiting and working to help and investigating to identify wrongdoing. Most of the "orphanages" are local facilities, locally staffed, receiving western aid money. Not "under the care of missionaries" typically. Not all the orphanages maltreat the children. But even the best orphanage is not the same as being placed in a family, and this is true around the world, not just in Haiti.

I am not an expert on Haitian law or law enforcement, so I can't go into detail on what legal remedies and resources might theoretically be available. However, if you've been following recent news about Haiti, you will have seen there is a lot of lawlessness. The US Department of State has Haiti on its most restrictive level, "Do Not Travel," as a result. You can read about it here:

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/haiti-travel-advisory.html

"Do not travel to Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure. On July 27, 2023, the Department of State ordered the departure of family members of U.S. government employees and non-emergency U.S. government employees. U.S. citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible by commercial or other privately available transportation options, in light of the current security situation and infrastructure challenges. U.S. citizens wishing to depart Port-au-Prince should monitor local news and only do so when considered safe..."

It's a sad and hard situation. One Gift, One Child isn't fixing it all, but it's showing a different way to care for abandoned children than institutionalization of any sort, regardless of whether it is abusive.

Today, a very niche tip for RSS fans :rss:

As well as Mastodon's built-in hashtag following system, you can also follow hashtags through RSS instead:

  1. Search for a hashtag on a Mastodon server's website
  2. Add .rss to the end of the URL
  3. Use this URL as the feed address for that tag

For example to subscribe to on mstdn.social you would use this address in your feed reader:

https://mstdn.social/tags/dogs.rss

@dct @feditips @thunderbird @Inoreader @samsantaella @resol

Interesting! I view it almost completely oppositely (the RSS feeds I read are separate from social media on purpose, even though I often use RSS to glue things together); I'm glad there's options.

dct ,

@StevenSaus @thunderbird @Inoreader @samsantaella @resol @feditips I used to keep them in Feedly but found with Lists (called Circles in Friendica but same thing) that I could separate by topics or feeds or whatever and eliminate one more service. A side benefit is that Feedly has limited client platform support whereas Fedi has good support everywhere I want to be. The only thing I miss from my RSS reader is the mark as read functionality. For me that isn't a deal breaker though.

@crashglasshouses @actuallyautistic @ratcatcher @UnCoveredMyths @chelonaute @otheorange_tag My understanding is that "blocking instances" is done by the instances and/or the users on the instances they choose to use, not by the client application. It's one of the main points of Fedi - that moderation is decentralised

Per Senator Mazzie Hirono below, apply for FEMA assistance here:
https://www.fema.gov/disaster/4724

From the third link, CBA piece on genocide of Hawaiian culture in Maui: Keʻeaumoku Kapu has been handing out water, clothes, and emergency supplies to families in need out of the Walgreens parking lot in Lahaina, Maui. He said it is a way to keep himself occupied while he grieves the losses of his community. "I'm afraid we're not going to recover from this," said Kapu, speaking to CBC from his cellphone at the distribution centre Monday. Kapu is a Kanaka Maoli (a Hawaiian word for their Indigenous people) community leader in Lahaina, and head of the Nā ʻAikāne o Maui Cultural Center — which was destroyed by the fire that ripped through Lahaina. While members of the community are still grappling with their immediate needs and the death toll from the fire is still being counted, Kapu said he is "frantic" to make sure he is included in the conversations that are happening about what is next for Lahaina. "I'm hoping that we can get over this hurdle, but at the same time the fear of being erased ..." said Kapu. "Because our island is now turned into a cheaper commodity because there's nothing more important to save here, you have people coming in willing to buy burned-out places." Maui land grabs Kapu said his family and other members of his community have been contacted by realtors asking to buy their burned-up property.
