For what its worth, I've been using this container for years and have never had any issues https://haugene.github.io/docker-transmission-openvpn/

Hahaha. She’s not wrong.

I think I might have seen a build or two even back then. However, what I need from a mobile app isn't to provide all of emacs, but rather just satisfy a few key use cases. Providing everything comes at the cost of usability, which is a key requirement for a mobile app. Really I just need to capture notes and tasks and see task lists, but trying to use the mobile emacs in the middle of a conversation, commuting, or grabbing coffee isn't ideal.

There were a couple of 3rd party apps that were designed for orgmode, but after I trialled, but they all fell short for me.

Even if it had the best mobile app now however, I wouldn't go back to emacs. Each to their own, but I've become way more aligned with the unix philosophy of "do one thing, and do it well", where as I see emacs more as "lets do as much as we can in one app". IMO Ofc.

I wonder if this is some play by her to get trump to swoop in and save her.

I went the ohterway with Emacs -> Logseq -> Obsidian, but with several things in between. Emacs isn't for me, I did give it a red hot go and coded off it for a good year or two about 10-15 years ago.

HOWEVER, I have to agree. Emac's Orgmode is first class and I've never been as satisfied with a task app since. However, at the time I was using it, mobile support was pretty much nonexistent, and I was missing vim too much, so I eventually abandoned it.

Now i just use a selfhosted instance of memos, which is sparse on its feature set, but works well for me.

If you try to define abstract nouns, they lose their magical ability of allowing governments to do whatever the fuck they want.

Anyone who has set foot on a university campus should see this for what it is. You would like to think such a blatant attempt to silence dissent under the banner of antisemitism would hurt their cause.

IMO, you want ram more than you want processing power. 16 gig ought to be enough. Most of the time your containers will sit dormant and just consume memory. However since you want to run Jellyfin, get a recent CPU which can do hardware decoding of popular codecs. There's charts online that show what generation can handle what codecs. Ideally you don't want that done by software. You should still be able to find something cheap.

In terms of placement. It depends a lot on noise IMO. If you're running something small without magnetic storage, you're probably fine to stick it anywhere. If you have several data-centre grade hard drives, you will probably want to keep it somewhere where you wont hear it all day.

In terms of upgrading, I'm not sure if its as much of a concern as you might think. I run probably about 30 docker containers off a NUC clone and a seperate NAS, and that has worked pretty well for the last few years. I can always add more drives to the NAS, but otherwise its fine. Also, many of my services scale to zero with sablier+traefik, and I schedule filesharing for low bandwidth times. This makes things pretty manageable.

Influencers are pests and an insidious blight on humanity, but this feels like a new low for them.

What works for me is starting on an easy and rewarding chore first. With ADHD, the promise of distant rewards are a poor motivator. What works is to incorporate the reward into the first task and you will find its easier to move on to the next task. I.e., take the dog for a walk, but grab an icecream/coffee/beer whatever while you're doing it. Think about the the things you will do next while you're on that walk. YMMV, but this is how I do it.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-01/federal-court-sydney-wissam-haddad-lectures-social-media/105480506 is mentioned here, but it the framing is a bit different and the ruling a little more detailed. (Probably a better source out there but I’m also on my phone)
