- Comment on The new man overseeing Britain’s arms exports is vice-chair of Labour Friends of Israel 1 week ago:
Kyle’s own record hardly reassures sceptics. In June 2025 he reportedly referred one of his constituents to the police after she sent him emails protesting against arms sales to Israel. Within days, four officers raided her home at four in the morning, arrested her, and confiscated her devices. Journalists who examined her emails found them to be angry but not abusive, passionate but not unlawful. For civil-liberties campaigners, the case smacked of an MP unwilling to tolerate dissent on an issue where he is deeply invested.
I feel a bit one-note complaining about this one guy all the time but he really truly is the worst part of this government.
- Comment on do you apologize, even if it's not your fault just to make the other person feel validated? 2 weeks ago:
I did it so much in a retail job that the supervisor told me to stop saying sorry all the time and of course I immediately replied “sorry.” Being autistic and socially anxious will do that unfortunately. It’s taken time and I’ve gotten a bit better at not apologising for things that aren’t my fault, but it’s still an annoying habit.
- Comment on Where to begin? 3 weeks ago:
I think portainer is probably the best tool for this since you can easily go in and pause/start services as required. Just make sure to go into the containers on portainer and check the restart policy is set to “unless stopped” so you don’t get unwanted restarts after a reboot or anything like that.
I don’t think portainer has any automation options but you could possibly write a short cron script to run
docker compose downin the directory of each compose file to shut them down once a month, and pair that with the uptime kuma container to get a notification when your containers are down so you can go into portainer and restart the ones you still need. Though I’ve never had any real issue with running lots of containers at once – there’s 20 on my raspberry pi right now and it’s still got just over a gigabyte of RAM left. - Submitted 3 weeks ago to videos@lemmy.world | 0 comments

- Comment on VPNs are not Kryptonite to age assurance. 4 weeks ago:
This is from the Age Verification Providers Association, who have a vested interest in forcing more and more people to use age verification. Most of these companies charge per check performed so they’re losing money every time we use a VPN to bypass it. I wouldn’t trust a thing they say, but it is worrying that they’re pushing to go further because they were successful lobbying for the age verification checks in the first place, and our tech secretary is an idiot. If they do convince the government to pass a law forcing companies to try and detect VPN usage, that will be devastating for online privacy even outside of the UK. That they now want websites to ask for a users location is quite scary.
- Comment on Iceland offering £1 reward scheme for customers who report a shoplifter 4 weeks ago:
The frozen food specialist said that anyone who spots a suspected shoplifter in its stores should inform the nearest Iceland employee who will verify the incident before adding the reward to the individual’s loyalty card for immediate use.
Posted this because it sounds like one of the boring dystopian things ever. Plus the perverse incentive to snitch on people for a pound off your groceries is quite horrible.
