  • Have nginx for all my reverse proxies, it wasn’t trivial, but I used it for a lot of other things so it’s fine.

    I back it up manually to encrypted json, it’s not the right way, but I never had much of a proper backup system, other than zfs snapshots and occasionally mirroring to another zfs pool.

    It’s not a lot of extra work once you have the rest of your apps running, it’s fairly low maintenance and mostly just works, but again I haven’t bothered with backups really.

    Edit: Running most if not all my services on freebsd as jails, that might have made it easier.







  • Yeah, I don’t think the state governments in the deep south represent any of the interests of the citizens of the south, anymore than Vladimir Putin and his oligarchs represent the interests of the citizens of Russia.

    The deep south are just failed states we’ve let limp on since we lost the stomach for reconstruction and left them in the 19th century.


  • the Senate helps keep those states in the union.

    Oh, so we need the Senate to keep such valuable states as Alabama, Mississippi and Florida in the union?

    This is like arguing the need for the Senate filibuster, because of how important it was to such orators as Strom Thurmond and Richard Russell.

    I’m fine keeping the Senate on the condition that if you suppress voting for a senator, he can’t be seated.
