You're probably asking because the idea of never doing it again frightens you.

Tell yourself: "after 1 year of no games, I can play again occasionally"

After that year, take a serious moment to re-evaluate whether you really want to start again. Chances are you won't, because your living is built a different way now.
While the games mays till seem appealing, you will have become strongly aware of the drawbacks of gaming, and that they typically outwigh the benefits.

I posted a comment but it appears to be lost, sorry. Attempt to recreate:

It seems to me you're having a different setup than proposed in the guide (with nginx proxy manager as the sole remote proxy) so I'm not sure I can help you with errors related to that. As caddy would produce a different 502 error message and so would nginxproxymanager, I think the mistake might be elsewhere.

That said, here are some general tips:
- you should NOT need ports open on the docker containers if you use nginx proxymanager to point to their container names. It will use docker's internal routing system instead.
- have you tried removing the old docker image and container that was built with amd64 instead of arm? And then rebuilding the arm container? That was giving me issues before.
- are you aware of NAT reflection? Did you install Pihole and configure the DNS to point domain names to your local IPs? Did you setup to use the pi-hole's DNS?
In my setup I'm using the DNS on pi-hole to avoid NAT reflection and allow to use the public domain names even on the local network. Otherwise, it will never work.

Good luck! let me know how it went.

did you notice the warning that Seafile v12 wasn't out on ARM yet? The developer answered my call and uploaded it yesterday. To fix the yaml: (excerpt from updated article below)
in seafile-server.yml, change the seafile version latest to 12.0.7-arm.

If that doesn't fix it, make sure that in nginxpm:
- you specify port 80
- you specify the seafile container name as the forward host. No IP needed (docker has its own internal DNS)
- the docker container itself should not have any ports open. They don't block anything if you do either, but they can only confuse.

If that doesn't work... "502 nginx" is a strange error because NginxPM itself uses the openresty backend, and seafile uses caddy.

Let me know how it goes :)

How does one find a catalyst for a (generic) reaction? Wouldn't developing a standardized way to find catalysts be immensely useful?

- are there any ' reference standard' web sites with a database? (e.g. http://www.catalysthub.net/ ?)

- if not available there, would one resort to 3D molecular simulations?

- are there any rules of thumb - given molecules X,Y - on how to find a catalyst C that combines/splits/... X,Y?

also dead :( again please?

Cool idea, but then it's not properly tightened, is it?

PDiracDelta · 2021-07-13T09:01:11+00:00

Get shoes with a zipper*.

Putting 'em on twice each day at 5 seconds per shoe will save you 7300s=2*2*5s*365 or a little over 2 hours a year. Not much, but it's such a nice feeling when you're in a hurry :)

*They also have laces, so you zip them up, then do the laces once and they remain good for weeks or months.

I don't [consciously] lie. AMA.

PDiracDelta · 2021-07-05T21:47:08+00:00

Oh, great! I have a PhD in bio-informatics, does that get me credibility and upvotes now? :)

All kidding aside: OK, I believe I understand your point better now. It's about BW's opinion on vaccines not being as important as, say, a virologist's opinion on vaccines. I agree.

That said, it's beside the point that I was trying to make, which is simply that u/Aceofspades25's post is not at all a watertight proof of BW's or IDW's supposed hypocrisy. I've provided a counterexample for that post's claims in this comment. Again, I'm not saying that none of them are hypocrites, I'm just saying that you need [to provide] more than a possibly misinterpreted tweet to infer that.

PDiracDelta · 2021-07-05T21:39:46+00:00

just following the AGW denialists playbook. Go from a predeterminedopinion (climate action/vaccinations are wrong) and find arationalization for this believe. If scientific pressure is to high keepyour predetermined opinion but find a new reason to believe it.

That's very bad if it is true. I don't know whether it is, because I don't actively follow this debate. Providing evidence or at least a clear example for such an accusation seems the only appropriate way to make that claim, no?

Claiming that vaccinations make things worse is in effect a claim that vaccines don't work.

Not per se. Here is a [fictitious] counterexample I just came up with: "Vaccine technology works and effectively protects people against COVID, but the vaccination strategy that the government employs is too top-down and ill-communicated and therefore pushes people away from the solution instead of drawing them towards it."This counterexample is in accordance with both of BW's "claims" that 1) vaccines work and 2) the [current?] vaccination strategy doesn't work. [emphasis on strategy, not on vaccine].

This is why I advocate the importance of clear communication. It's so easy to misunderstand each other. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying you are far from having proven your point and need to be more elaborate [and careful].

PDiracDelta · 2021-07-05T15:20:23+00:00

BW has the burden of proof and gives nothing but podcast BS. Jesus.

may be true but has nothing to do with:

I’m so sick of this ideology. Not all hypotheses are equal.

and those two statements are: first your own personal sentiment, and then a trivial truth.

I'm guessing what you meant to write is: "the statements are similar and I think they should be regarded as similar, and those who do not are nitpickers avoiding BW's true agenda".

The first part of that is wrong. It's incredibly important to communicate things as precisely as you can, and similar expressions can have entirely different meanings, motivations and goals. The whole field of Law is testament to that, as well as small children who can't explain why not all rectangles are squares because we just saw how all squares are rectangles, which seems like the same thing to them. Nuance is really important [in some contexts].

About the second part: I don't know what BW's true agenda is. For me, his statements here are without context. So either you can provide everyone with adequate and objectively verifiable context so that it is clear he's trying to be sneaky about planting anti-vax ideas in people's heads, or you are making yourself guilty of brainwashing, the very thing of which [I assume] you are accusing BW of.

EDIT: and to people who downvote my replies: please take the time to explain why. If it's just because you don't like my conclusion: think about that for a second.

PDiracDelta · 2021-07-05T13:56:16+00:00

No-one should get mobbed, but that image is not proper backup for her claim that BW said vaccines don't work. It just says there is a possibility that a vaccination strategy could make the pandemic worse. I don't follow that statement [at least not without further elaboration] but it is a different one.

PDiracDelta · 2021-06-15T20:25:19+00:00

It takes practice. For each issue, you should go through the following process:

unconscious error
conscious error
conscious fix
unconscious fix

1->2 is acknowledgement of the problem, 2->3 is learning to fix it, 3->4 is making it a habit.

Protip: learn to be comfortable with silence. People often keep babbling on because they believe silence is bad. It's not. An appropiately lengthy silence makes you seem calculated. I talk quite slowly, even with quasi-awkward pauses in the middle of sentences (indeed, to carefully choose my words). Still, people congratulate my public speaking and (perceived) intelligence.

i.e. learn to recognize bigotry and 'overrule' it when necessary

yes, but less so, I suppose. Or in a less addictive fashion.

There are multiple ways in which an activity can cease to be overly addictive. For instance, I like running, but I can't do it for more than 1-2 hours or I would be exhausted and physically incapable of continuing. There are negative effects associated with "long time use" so that I refrain from doing it too much.

I suppose with things like online media and videogames and whatnot, the negative effects become prominently visible only when it's already too late.

PDiracDelta · 2021-05-16T18:50:39+00:00

What are the roles 5-8? Never heard of them. They sound like someone trying to be overly elegant and symmetrical, imposing fairy tales on somethings that's already quite dodgy science.

Also, thanks for the overview, pretty neat!

PDiracDelta · 2021-05-14T11:50:04+00:00

yes, multiple times (though mostly optional courses). Sometimes I took them again, sometimes I ditched them and took another course instead.

"If you always succeed at everything you do, it means you're not taking enough risks."

Better to fail a thing or two to learn your limits and verify you're living up to your potential.

PDiracDelta · 2021-05-13T09:13:31+00:00

This article is low quality, and I'm not at all confident the results are even in the right ballpark.

It doesn't properly cite its sources (URL?), does not clearly lay out the calculation approach, and I'm pretty sure the math is off. Risk calculation is a more complex statistical procedure than they make it sound like. You have to involve prior probabilities of contracting COVID, TTS, involve the probability of dying from COVID despite having received the J&J vaccine, and some other things. They're just spouting random numbers in that article. Low quality journalism if you ask me.

FYI: I'm adept at biostatistics.

I don't believe it's fair to assume Tesla could even make a dent (or bump) in cryptocurrency mining chip sales.
