Full disclosure, I’m not a metalhead by any means, and Metallica isn’t always considered pure metal, but this one hits just right.

The trend to shutting out China from the west started with Obama’s “Pivot to Asia.” At this point the only point of contention between US ruling elites is whether China or Russia is the primary threat.

Cixin Liu. Not only is the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy (Three Body Problem) epic, his short stories are really fun reads.

I don’t usually go for cocktails, but when I do I really like a peaty whiskey sour, or a boilermaker with Guinness or a session IPA and again a peaty whiskey.

I usually feel the worst first thing in the morning. It gets better over the day. Try to sleep and repeat for a few days.

I couldn’t agree more.

VPN server on one, client on another.

A matrix bot on each end would work too but seems unnecessarily complicated.

Lenin.

Hugo with a simple theme like book or paper should do it. Alternatively Jekyll or Docusaurus, in principle they’re all the same in that they process markdown files and dump out a static site.

Astro for a more feature rich “development” experience.

The switch to Forgejo is super easy, if you don’t mind everything being called “Gitea” you can just switch out the Docker image and carry on.

I just switched recently, maybe around version 1.19.

Forgejo is also working on federation which will give the system an advantage moving forwards. They’re also sticking with Gitea as an upstream source so reasonable changes Gitea makes should make their way to Forgejo pretty quickly.

Without more info it’ll be hard to help.

I got it working in principle, but the Raspberry Pi I wanted to host it on isn’t powerful enough to handle the necessary computing.

I would be careful not to mix up what I’ll distinguish here as liberal social progressivism and communist societal progressivism. I’m sure there are more established terms for these concepts but I don’t know them or can’t think of them.

The imbalance we see in the liberal version is because it is, just like social conservatism, a reaction to current material conditions without a proper (ie dialectic) understanding of these how these conditions came to be and how they can be changed. Therefore it falls into the same paradigms and pitfalls which liberalism itself does, and is incapable of actually fixing the issues of the day. Then they get all caught up in things like “traditional” vs “modern” values, distinctions which are meaningless since both broad groups have been enforced across history in intimate relation to the reigning ruling class ideology of the time.

Whereas the type of progressivism we communists see as necessary is a holistic remaking of society, not limited to pushing for equal treatment of out groups, but banishing even the concept of out groups to the scrapheap of history, just to give one example. We go even further though, not in an “endless growth” type of sociopathic way, but in a strategic and structured way so as to fundamentally change the structure of society around us also on the political and economic levels, so that we can peacefully coexist on a human level rather than constantly struggling for who gets the upper hand.

Yes, but generally only bad quality loud ones.

Pretty sites are cool and all, but in my experience super simple things often just don’t work. I’m not patient anymore when it comes to stuff like that, so I’ll close the tab real quick and find the information elsewhere or move on to the next thing.

Forgejo is a git server, forked by Codeberg from Gitea after Gitea got bought up by a for-profit corporation.

Codeberg is a non-profit organization which runs a public instance of the Forgejo git server.

You can make an account on Codeberg.org, save repos there, and contribute to other repos, like on Github. Or you can run your own Forgejo instance to use either privately or open up to public use.

If you can’t tell the difference between a super cheap keyboard and a well built one, fair enough.

If you like one of the things you use for a considerable portion of the day to feel nice to use and last more than two years, spend more. I spent an absurd amount on a keyboard about a year ago (like a week’s pay kind of absurd) and I haven’t regretted it for a second.

In terms of the offline solution I just edit Markdown files wherever whenever, and commit to the remote repo when possible or necessary.

I used Obsidian for a bit but recently switched to Markor which I quite like.

I do all the git stuff via cli on Termux. To be fair I do most of my notes on a PC so I don’t mind if the mobile experience is a bit hacky, with a couple aliases it’s easy enough. Alternatively I could edit files directly in on git server website (I run a self hosted git server but ymmv). For the major git servers like Github there are probably apps that make it more comfortable.

The markdown files are appropriately structured so I can run Hugo (config and layout files in a separate repo for tidiness sake) and get a static site build.
