    Fascinating country.

    It’s worth more than one visit, just due to its huge diversity. Food is amazing, and it’s very lively. But you have to get used to it, and go with the flow. If you can’t live without all the first world luxuries and/or don’t feel comfortable stepping outside your bubble, don’t go, it’s not the place for you.

    Would I live there? No. And I’m deeply saddened by the political direction it’s heading in. But don’t form opinions about countries you’ve never been to.



  • I don’t self-host a lot of things, but I’d say this is not the easiest I’ve done, just because it involves setting up multiple containers (unlike something like SearXNG). Also thought that I had to set-up an SMTP container, but I got away with not having to do it.

    I used ansible (and pass to store credentials), so this is how I did it (maybe someone can pitch in and tell me what I can improve):

    - name: Deploy Wallabag database
      community.docker.docker_container:
        name: db_wallabag
        image: mariadb
        recreate: true
        state: started
        memory: 500MB
        restart_policy: always
        log_options:
          max-size: "10m"
          max-file: "1"
        env:
          MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}"
        volumes:
        - ~/wallabag/data:/var/lib/mysql
        healthcheck:
          test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-h", "localhost"]
          interval: 20s
          timeout: 3s
    
    - name: Deploy Wallabag redis
      community.docker.docker_container:
        name: redis_wallabag
        image: redis:alpine
        recreate: true
        state: started
        memory: 500MB
        restart_policy: always
        log_options:
          max-size: "10m"
          max-file: "1"
        links:
        - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag"
        healthcheck:
          test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"]
          interval: 20s
          timeout: 3s
    
    - name: Deploy Wallabag
      community.docker.docker_container:
        image: wallabag/wallabag:latest
        name: wallabag
        recreate: true
        state: started
        memory: 500MB
        restart_policy: always
        log_options:
          max-size: "10m"
          max-file: "1"
        links:
        - "redis_wallabag:redis_wallabag"
        - "db_wallabag:db_wallabag"
        ports:
        - "80"
        env:
          MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_mysql_root_password', missing='warn') }}"
          SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_DRIVER: pdo_mysql
          SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_HOST: db_wallabag
          SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PORT: "3306"
          SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_NAME: db_wallabag
          SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_USER: db_wallabag
          SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_PASSWORD: "{{ lookup('community.general.passwordstore', 'self_host_containers/wallabag_symfony_env_database_password', missing='warn') }}"
          SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_CHARSET: utf8mb4
          SYMFONY__ENV__DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX: "wallabag_"
          SYMFONY__ENV__MAILER_DSN: smtp://127.0.0.1
          SYMFONY__ENV__FROM_EMAIL: [email protected]
          SYMFONY__ENV__DOMAIN_NAME: 
          SYMFONY__ENV__SERVER_NAME: 
        volumes:
        - ~/wallabag/images:/var/www/wallabag/web/assets/images
        - ~/wallabag/data:/var/www/wallabag/data
        healthcheck:
          test: ["CMD", "wget", "--no-verbose", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost"]
          interval: 1m
          timeout: 3s
    
    
    

    Then I set up caddy for the reverse proxy

    - name: Upload Caddyfile
      ansible.builtin.copy:
        src: ./upload_files/Caddyfile
        dest: ~/Caddyfile
    
    - name: Deploy caddy
      community.docker.docker_container:
        image: caddy:2
        name: caddy
        user: "1000:1000"
        recreate: true
        state: started
        memory: 500MB
        restart_policy: always
        log_options:
          max-size: "10m"
          max-file: "1"
        links:
        - "wallabag:wallabag"
        ports:
        - "80:80"
        - "443:443"
        volumes:
        - ~/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
        - ~/caddy_data:/data
        - ~/caddy_config:/config
    

    And this is the Caddyfile

    my.url.com {
        reverse_proxy wallabag:80
    }
    

    Finally, you then have to login with user:wallabag and password:wallabag and change them in the webUI. I changed the “wallabag” user to my user and set a new password.


  • I’m in the US and “lefty” might mean something different for me than it does for you. Where I live and the sites I go on - have leftys on there but no, they never use the term tankie.

    As I mentioned, it’s used in discussion circles with leftists beyond center left (i.e. someone who’s more left than Bernie Sanders): Anarchists, Marxists, Maoists, etc. Lemmy might be the only site you go to that has a sizable proportion of these.

    On Reddit, if you go to places like r/anarchism, r/socialism, r/stupidpol, you get to see it being used.

    Annoying is an opinion yes, but I’m saying its annoying because of how often it is brought up.

    It’s brought up a lot here because there are a lot of them on lemmy. You’d never hear people around your neighborhood complain about something that doesn’t happen in your neighborhood.

    Maybe you are not seeing as many because your instance might block them. But I see them all the time is news articles about Ukraine or North Korea.

    I see that there’s a discussion thread that goes on about this, not gonna get involved on that.









  • Because one can be pinned down to government involvement, while the other can’t.

    It’s the classic CCP defense: “We’re not an authoritarian country, you’re just racist!”.

    EDIT: not saying that it was or wasn’t a lab leak, but as soon as the government shoots down the possibility with “you’re racist”, I immediately get suspicious. The same way that I get suspicious when Israel shoots down criticism with “you’re just anti-Semitic”. It’s basically gaslighting with identity politics.
