Yeah, neither of them is doing you any favor with their beliefs trumping a diagnosis.

They don’t say male because that is encapsulated in “be me.” It’s males all the way down.

She sounds like someone who has no understanding of what autistic people are like, and was applying the standards of a neurotypical relationship to her interactions with you. She could and perhaps should have taken it upon herself to learn, but your dad also really dropped the ball by not preparing her.

Yep, I don’t get this at all. Is it supposed to be funny somehow? It just seems like a random set of panels. OP, what motivated you to post this?

My favorite is “I lived through the Cold War”, as though being a veteran of propaganda saturation makes them an authority.

So what? Most books sit on shelves unread until they are recycled by Half Priced Books. Might as well use them until they fall apart instead of display them to look smart.

There are new versions with extremely similar names.

In my personal opinion, those folks need to lighten up. We’re talking about a completely fictional realm where there is plenty of fantasy diversity expressed in other ways, written by a British man who was born in 1892. Enjoy it or don’t, but there really isn’t much foundation to assume that Tolkien was trying to be racist with his literary choices.

From the Wikipedia article on Tolkien and race:

In his personal life, he was anti-racist both in peacetime and during the two World Wars.

Sure, we can throw in some black characters in new productions of his work, but judging the man by modern standards is just looking for outrage.

They ignored a load of other really massive crimes from Trump’s first administration—why would they have gone after him for this one?

[Promoting] Gluetun: The Little VPN Client That Could

My journey with docker started with a bunch of ill fated attempts to get an OpenVPN/qBittorrent container running. The thing ended up being broken and never worked right, and it put me off of VPN integration for another year or so.

Then recently I found Gluetun…and holy fucking cow. This thing is the answer to every VPN need I could possibly think of. I have set it up with 3 different providers now, and it has been more simple and reliable than the clients made by the VPN providers themselves every time.

If you combine the power of Gluetun with the power of Portainer, then you can even easily edit settings for your existing containers and hook them up to a VPN connection in seconds (or disconnect them). Just delete the forwarded ports in the original container, select the Gluetun container as the network connection, and then forward the same ports in Gluetun. Presto, you now have a perfectly functioning container connected to a VPN with a killswitch.

So if any of y’all on the high seas have considered getting more serious about your privacy, don’t do what I did and waste a bunch of time on a broken container. Use Gluetun. Love Gluetun. Gluetun is the answer.

Media Library Statistics Display for Public Viewing (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I’m hoping to find some kind of statistical display for my media library that I can show on my website. I found Medialytics, which is a little rough, but essentially what I’m looking for, but it isn’t secure enough for public display because the Plex token is included in the script for the page.

Does anybody know of a good statistics display for a large media library that would have a publicly displayable page similar to uptime-kuma?

[Wishlist] BOINC Screensaver with WebUI (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I have found several docker containers that allow you to run a BOINC server as a container, but I haven’t seen any that give you access to the BOINC screensaver. My ideal would be if the screensaver itself was shown on a dedicated port so it could be used easily as a display without any controls popping up.

Sadly, I have no idea how to make this or how to get a custom container made. I guess I’m just throwing this idea out to the universe in hope that it happens someday.
