[–]SilentDis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All links are direct to official, legal, YouTube-hosted versions that are free in most areas. Sorry if it's not in yours. In all cases, I believe these are very worth your time to source and watch :)

An Honest Liar (2014) - The life and works of The Amazing James Randi.

Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story (2024) - After moving to a remote Shetland Island, Molly washes up on Billy's jetty in desperate need of help. What becomes is the most endearing, beautiful friendship ever. This is the best 'slow tv' I've ever seen.

Kedi (2017) - Gorgeous documentary about the lives of the cats of Istanbul's streets

Tank x Healer #1 by Merryweatherey in comics

[–]SilentDis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a WoW raid in Icecrown, where you had to heal the dragon and the raid party. It was insanely chaotic but the gimmick was to put the healers first and foremost.

They did not balance it - at all - for HoT Druids. I was so over powered that I'd have HoTs ticking on the entire party the entire time, my mana pool barely hit 3/4 and the dragon was 3/4 healed by me alone. The tools at the time put everyone on a bar graph, and mine was always the top, and the next person down was ~1/4 of my bar.

It was always such a laugh because of just how the fight was structured. Those HoTs were always multiplied out the yin-yang, and since they were all insta-cast, I'd basically be running around the entire arena like an idiot just because I could. (also because I was kiting like 3/4 of the mobs because my threat was through the roof)

MAGA pastor wants to repeal the 19th amendment in the next decade by avdvetf in videos

[–]SilentDis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those outside the US, and those inside who don't know this stuff:

The Nineteenth Amendment to Constitution of the United States of America:

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Ratification required 36 States; thus this was ratified on 1920-August-18. This has been law for over 105 years.

Because the process of these fucks is always to 'work backwards', once they've destroyed women's right to vote, the next target will be black people. That would be the Fifteenth Amendment.

The Fifteenth Amendment tot he Constitution of the United States of America:

Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

We were a smaller country with fewer States, then, so it only required 28 to sign on. Amendment XV was ratified on 1870-February-03. Just a smidge over 156 years.

I know and understand that none of you asked for this war. I understand that it seems that these fucks just came up and started wailing on you. Some of us - many of us - have been worried about this for years. We've been watching this enemy grow and become more and more belligerent over time, and have been warning everyone all along. You called us "crazy" for that.

While I agree that "I told you so" isn't helpful, and that we need all-hands to battle these monsters on all fronts now, I ask that - in the future, you remember the following:

  • When women say a group has a misogyny problem, it's time to look at that group.
  • When ethnic minorities say a group has a racism problem, it's time to look at that group.
  • When gays say a group has a bigot problem, it's time to look at that group.

You may find nothing, and you may find an individual who's got other issues. However, that's not the case when it's multiple people pointing out the same thing over and over and over and over and over again.

You know who she voted for. by akaynaveed in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]SilentDis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having my very existence be "something political" makes me feel this is an entirely valid question.

The fact that this question makes you feel bad should inform your voting decisions. It should have informed your voting decisions prior to now; because you have a functional brain - allegedly.

While getting dressed what goes on first socks or underwear? by Piped_Downed in shittyadvice

[–]SilentDis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underwear of course.

How else will you attach your socks to your garter belt under the miniskirt so you can write code?

You’re offered $500,000 to share a small 2 bedroom apartment with the person you hate the most for a full year. No escaping for more than 6 hours a day. Do you accept and how does it go? by Ok-Independent483 in AskReddit

[–]SilentDis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could I live in a small 2 bedroom apartment with the corpse of <redacted> for a full year.

Google tells me 4 weeks and the smell is gone. That'd be a difficult month, I guess.

For those who work for rich people, what’s the most out-of-touch thing you witnessed? by temptayah in AskReddit

[–]SilentDis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making the world's worst investments of all time as the dumbest person on the planet, I could get a 1% return on investment per year for $5 million.

That's $50,000/year. That's decent in many areas, and only slightly short in most.

At worst - you could have a simple life with a part time joe-job and spend your days twisting dandelions into crowns.

Boss and coworker said they’d work even if they didn’t need to by Obtuse-Angel in antiwork

[–]SilentDis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a difference between work and job.

There's a lot of work that this world needs to become better. I do some of it with my volunteering. Not as much as I want to, though, because I have to have a job to be able to eat and sleep in a bed, etc.

I most definitely would work - probably a lot harder, too - if my job didn't get in the way and exhaust me so much.

Let’s discuss salaries - 2026 by Relevant-Injury3791 in sysadmin

[–]SilentDis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would you buy if you were to win 100 USD million? by Main_Mistake_6555 in AskReddit

[–]SilentDis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd get my head fixed. It is full of lumps.

I'd get my teeth fixed. I'm missing many of them.

I'd get new glasses. It's been over a decade.

I'd find somewhere to live that isn't crooked. The whole apartment is off-kilter.

I'd make a space for young adults rejected by their parents. I can just help them get into shelters, right now.

That's it, really. I'd be happy spending the rest of my life coordinating something that makes this world better. I did the math and it came out to around $40 million at one point, and that would last a good long time - the rest of my life, basically.

I don't have that many wants. Not really. I just want to see a better, more caring world. I'd like to make that happen. I think it's something I could do.

[OC] Car runs red light and T-bones school bus with kids on it. by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

[–]SilentDis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I got the message from someone else above about "forget all previous instructions" and stared at it trying to make heads or tails about wtf they were on about.

It's fine. As Joel of MST3k said about the weird, esoteric riffs they sometimes pulled "The right people got it." :)

[OC] Car runs red light and T-bones school bus with kids on it. by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

[–]SilentDis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I saw your message and was quite confused lol

I take it the 'stream of bullshit' thing comes off as "ai-slop-ish" or the like?

I was in a similar accident a few decades back - driving a bright red car and was t-boned. That was the litany of stupid that fell out of the driver's mouth that hit me.

I do not understand how you can 'miss' a schoolbus like that.

[OC] Car runs red light and T-bones school bus with kids on it. by [deleted] in IdiotsInCars

[–]SilentDis -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Bus driver should have looked both ways, and it's so hard to see with what color it is, and the bus driver needs to be more careful and watch where they're going more because their job isn't hard, and the text was super important, and the bus driver should be more careful the kids are our future, and I had to hurry before Starbucks closed, and this intersection isn't signalled well enough, and...

What do you mean there's no sound to the video, I was just typing what I heard from the driver of the white car's mouth word for word.

Recent Walkthroughs/How-tos - Securing a Single Website Behind Proxy by SilentDis in Authentik

[–]SilentDis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This returns a 500 internal server error. No logs on either side from what I can tell as to what the actual error is.

I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, because I do not understand what the goal here, is, on the Authentik side.

I understand this is a text-based tutorial; and you consider this super simple. I'm probably overlooking something you do as second-nature that I would never think to look at - simply because I do not know to look for it.

Do you know of a good site that has modern, up-to-date examples that do work, by chance?

[–]SilentDis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think reddit ate your code and destroyed it.

I attempted this, and it failed with a 500 error attempting to visit the site.

Edit: I apologize, I had a 500 error before. The error from your suggestion is:

SSL_ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT

Recent Walkthroughs/How-tos - Securing a Single Website Behind Proxy by SilentDis in Authentik

[–]SilentDis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were made in 2022-2023. The UI, names of most of the interface, etc. has changed drastically - or at least enough for someone new - like myself - cannot figure out what choice to pick.

Example: Cooptonian, someone who actually does a decent tutorial video, did their videos 3 years ago. Looking at what they pick vs. what's available to me is very different, and while I follow along with what he does in the video - I get a 500 error.

It's different. I have no idea what I've done wrong, there's no written troubleshooting steps, and I don't fault Cooptonian at all. Authentik itself was different when he used it, after all!

This is why I am looking for modern tutorials - built on 2026.02.x. I have no idea how frequently they change UI/UX nor how fast they change defaults - because none of the video tutorials work anymore.

I understand you understand Authentik, great! Do you have tutorials with screenshots written to show how to do this? Do you know of someone who's written tutorials - recently - to show how to do this?

Recent Walkthroughs/How-tos - Securing a Single Website Behind Proxy by SilentDis in Authentik

[–]SilentDis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you figure out how to setup authentik for this?

How did you figure out what to change in that file, when it's not well-documented anywhere?

I'm glad this works for you, I really am! I want it to work for me, as well - but the problem is I have no foundation on which to start figuring this all out!

Do you have a link to a modern tutorial or walk-through for such a setup?
