tariffs hurt the populace of the country imposing them more than anyone else.

Tariffs always hurt the customer, especially when it comes to raw resources; but can have the potential to hurt the seller as well (in the form of lost business).

With import tariffs the recipient pays to import an item, directly costing them more. With an export tariff, the shipper pays extra, so they raise their prices to compensate, also costing the customer more.

Now with manufactured products, the customer may have local options that are now cheaper than an import+tariffs (but still more expensive than they were paying previously), which means the foreign manufacturer has to invest in a local facility or loose customers. The customer may just be stuck with it though.

With raw resources however, it's much less likely the customer can purchase cheaper elsewhere so they will likely just be stuck with the higher cost.

Potash for example, the US heavily imports from Canada for use in fertilizer and just doesn't produce in sufficient quantities for it's farmers (>90% is imported). If Trump follows through and imposes his tariff on that (I think that one was 10%), farmers will have no options but to buy less or spend more. It does nothing but harm the US.

Likewise with Canada imposing a tariff on electricity; our energy companies are going to charge more per kwh to compensate for the extra costs, and the affected states will have no choice but to pay more. Again harming the US as a result of Trumps decisions.

Seems we're going to impose 25% export tariffs on power anyway, because just delaying a month isn't good enough.

While we're at it, we might just get a chance to literally punch Trump (jr) right in the fucking mouth.

I'm also pretty sure the Starlink contract is still being cancelled, and there's a ban on future US contracts atm. Liquor stores have greatly reduced American inventory and encourage local products, travel to the US has dropped dramatically; and overall there's a general 'fuck America' attitude in the air. It's kind of refreshing.

Maybe they weren't permitted/encouraged, and eventually got removed, but you could definitely find them there. I wish I'd saved images; but this was 15years ago.

Worse; you could buy people from the silk road. Wives, children, ~~nanny's~~ slaves... Along with military equipment, drugs ofc, stolen goods, and pretty much anything illegal that has a buyer.

Had a friend that liked buying drugs there, and would send me screenshots of some of the insane ads he found. He was pissed when it got shut down, and moved to a market called 'Agora'.

Broke off that friendship quite a while ago and haven't heard about it since. Not really my scene...

Since putting a 4080 in my bedroom, I've not once run my heat, and usually have to keep my window open at least an inch too cool the room off...

I live in Canada, it's currently winter. Window's open.

From the linked article:

The Take It Down Act is an overbroad, poorly drafted bill that would create a powerful system to pressure removal of internet posts, with essentially no safeguards. While the bill is meant to address a serious problem—the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII)—the notice-and-takedown system it creates is an open invitation for powerful people to pressure websites into removing content they dislike. There are no penalties for applying very broad, or even farcical definitions of what constitutes NCII, and then demanding that it be removed.

It would mean Trump and anyone else could demand the removal of pretty much any image that features them; with legal penalties for not immediately complying.

Think DMCA takedowns for youtube videos, but against every image on every platform available in the US. The platform has to comply, remove the flagged content, and let the courts sort out whether it should go back up.

Sounds about right.

It may inflate the numbers for now, but overall I think it's just going to have a negative impact. I may have decided to play with it at somepoint, I'm just somewhere between disinterested and distrusting of the tech. Now that it's been shoved down my throat though, I adamantly REFUSE to touch Gemini. Installing it on my devices and giving it all my data without consent is absurd overreach and should be a felony.

Take the perspective of things that get cooked.

If you're being cooked, things aren't exactly going your way... Others around you are having a great time though, dinner is served.

As to being sick of it; OP, you may be turning into a crotchety old man... Not cool dude; that's like, totally lame. :P

This was yesterday...

 

When a file is manually replaced, for example after converting from an mp4 to an mkv; radarr decides to delete everything in that movies folder: posters, backdrops, subtitles, NFO files, leaving only the new video file; even though none of these were created or managed by Radarr ever.

This causes Emby to have to rescan/reidentify the item, re-downloading all the extra data, and it's now lost all custom metadata that was stored in the nfo, particularly the original date added to emby and it now has no subtitles.

How can I prevent this?

 

I've started noticing this icon more and more: usually on comments with no downvotes. What's it mean?

 

CPU/GPU/RAM/Disk usage, logs, errors, network usage, overall status, etc

What do you use/prefer?

Mainly looking for self-hosted web based tools, stuff I can view from a browser; but desktop and CLI apps are welcome too :)

 

I have what may be a stupid question...

How is it your master password is both used to decrypt your vault and used to authenticate with bitwardens public servers to acquire a copy of your vault/view it in the web app, but bitwarden can't use that password entry to decrypt the vault themselves?

(please correct me if I'm misunderstanding, as I use self-hosted vaultwarden for my server instead of the public ones)

After almost a year of repeated emails stating the transition from Google Domains will have no effect on customers, no action is required; I just got this email:

Update Dynamic DNS records Hi there, As previously communicated, Squarespace has purchased all domain name registrations and related customer accounts from Google Domains. Customers are in the process of being moved to Squarespace Domains, but before we migrate your domain [redacted] we wanted to inform you that a feature you use, Dynamic DNS (DDNS), will not be supported by Squarespace.

So apparently SquareSpace will be entirely useless to me and I've got "as soon as 30 days" to move.

Got any suggestions for good registrars to migrate to?

(it's a .pw domain if that matters)

/edit. I'm a moron.

I already use cloudflare as my name server, Google/SquareSpace only handles the registration.

I'll be fine. Thanks for the help everyone!

 

-post won't delete, so redacted instead-

 

Got 'invalid login' when viewing my profile after the lemmy update, logged out, re-setup 2fa using a browser and now Jerboa crashes when pressing the 'login' button after entering my details.

Disabled 2fa and still the same results.

Consistently crashing in the same spot every time I try.

Switched to Boost for this post.

 

I've got docker installed and I've got a single container running (vaultwarden) via the docker pull/docker run commands provided on its Github page. I'm not sure how to learn more about that container or how to build (compose?) others myself.

I'd like to learn how to transition nginx and pihole to containers and network them together. I'd also like to add paperless-ngx to my setup.

(note: I'm very new to Linux in general, mostly rpis, poking around with debian now)

2FA (lemmy.ca)

Does boost support 2 factor auth?

I can't login: If i use the incorrect user+pass I get 'incorrect login' if I use the correct ones I get 'login failed'.

There is no option to enter my required 2fa code...

/edit switched apps then switched back and the 2fa field showed up but refused my code. Force stopped the app and got the same 'login failed' message switched apps again and back; now it shows all fields and finally logged me in correctly.

Seems buggy af.

 

I've only ever had my domain registered via Google Domains (~7 years), mostly because it was cheap+convenient, and google already had my billing info. Google has however sold its domain registration services to SquareSpace and will soon be transitioning customers there.

Not upset to be removing one more bit of google from my life, but I don't know much about SquareSpace and I'm not sure if I should just go with the transition to them or perhaps move to a different registrar... If I was to move, where too?

Curious what others think about the situation and company.

Are you a Google domains customer? What's your plan? Why?

 

Using Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Samsungs 'Internet' app, and every other browser I've used/tried on Android:

I'll go to select some text on a page by long-pressing on it and it'll select the word I'm touching as well as expand that selection to a somewhat random amount of additional text (usually not following any structure such as selecting a whole sentence for example).

I'll then go to adjust that selection by grabbing one of the two tabs on either end of it and the moment I do, the opposite tab jumps to a completely random spot on the page vastly expanding the selection, then the whole page scrolls to an entirely different section; Leaving me holding one end of the selection unable to see what was originally selected. I can't scroll to where I was, and If I let go and just click copy I've now copied 90%of the page to my clipboard.... Attempting to modify the selection any further yields the same lack of control and just makes things worse.

This doesn't happen everywhere, but I get these results far far more often than a successful copy+paste. Like just now trying to copy an address from a local transit guide.

I end up having to drop the paste into a notepad app, reselect the bit I actually wanted (if it even made it into the pile of garbage I was forced to grab) then delete the note once I'm done.

This is fucking stupid and I hate it. Rant over. Thank you for listening.

/edit: I don't have the power to pin a comment, but d3Xt3r@lemmy.world has a great solution: Use the rectangle select tool in androids 'Edge Panel' (must be enabled in settings), then press the 'T' button to copy text from the area you've selected.

 

I'm not talking about an extra 10-15sec, but easily 2-3 full minutes (I've sat here with a timer checking) to load pages, sometimes not loading them at all. Particularly with login pages, but even just homepages.

Dropbox, Cloudflare, Various companies forums, My bank, Google; each of these sites and more I've had firefox either not load at all, or take so long I've been able to copy the link into Chrome, do what I need there, then come back to Firefox still 'loading' a blank white page.

I just don't understand. I want to migrate away from Chrome and use Firefox, but it's been unusably slow when it even loads anything at all.

P.S. In the time I've taken to write this (~5min) plus the time to decide to post and find this community firefox has still not loaded my cloudflare dash... (typed in the address, waited a while, gave up and came here but left it open)

/edit: I should note I have ublock installed, but I get the same results with it disabled most of the time.
