Off topic, but 4chan is exempt from Australia’s recent social media minimum age laws because of the fact that it doesn’t require accounts.

Most, if not all, of these year in reviews is literally “here’s a summary of the things you explicitly did on our platform while logged in to your account this year”. It’s kind of absurd to call that tracking. Like, Lemmy and Piefed do have that data, this meme aside. It’s literally located at https://lemmy.ca/u/ech (admins, but not regular users, can also see upvotes and downvotes). They just chose not to do any sort of summary or analysis of your data for the year.

I suppose then, for any child born around 00:10 on 1 January, there might be some pressure to encourage the doctor to write the birth certificate as something more like 23:50 on 31 December? Because of the social prestige with being older?

Or maybe the opposite, since being physically older than your peers is correlated with better academic and sporting performance?

Wow, really interesting, thanks!

It didn’t fix everything, or even fully fix my Redis container. But it did improve things a lot. This is now my full Redis logs:

2025-12-29T17:01:52.277109213Z Redis has started
2025-12-29T17:01:52.746857972Z 7:M 30 Dec 2025 03:01:52.746 # WARNING: The TCP backlog setting of 511 cannot be enforced because /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn is set to the lower value of 128.

A few years ago, iirc, the Korean government instructed people to stop using the traditional system and to use the international system instead. Has that had much of an effect in practice, or are people largely ignoring it? Or do you think it’s something that younger generations will pick up more over time while older people continue using the traditional system? (This last option being sort of what happened in Australia when we transitioned to metric through the '70s.)

Also, what happens to someone born on 1 January? Are they born du sal, and thus the youngest of their sal, or born han sal and remain han sal for a whole year?

Sorry, I’m not 100% sure I follow. Is this a quip about Nextcloud being difficult to run? If so, is it a loving one, or do you think it’s not worth the effort and I should try running something else?

The docker version says its API is on version 1.43. So I’ve fixed it by setting: DOCKER_API_VERSION: 1.43

Unfortunately I already tried this in my initial post, I’m pretty sure. It’s what I have with the errors shown in the OP.

Seems weird to me that there’s an AIO container that seems to contain other containers, but anyway I guess thats a synology thing.

No, that’s a Nextcloud thing. From what I can tell, it seems to be the preferred way of setting up Nextcloud these days. https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one

afaict it’s not that one container contains the containers, so much as one container is given control of the Docker socket so that it can create and control the other containers automatically.

all those containers are “starting” because theyre waiting for one other container to finish “starting” before starting up themselves

Apache and notify-push are waiting for Nextcloud. Nextcloud is waiting for Database. Whiteboard is waiting for Redis.

I have no idea what’s wrong with Database, Redis, or Collabora, but their errors aren’t obviously related to dependencies, to me. (Collabora’s could be, but it’s at least a different type of dependency since the logs are mostly [ remotefontconfig_poll ] ERR Remote config server has response status code: 502 (Bad Gateway)| wsd/RemoteConfig.cpp:133. I’ve not really started looking into it since it’s a rather downstream component and the core components failing is more important.)

Is the 404 in the master container logs from you trying to access the instance in your browser?

Doesn’t seem to be. Seems to add a new log periodically even when I don’t try to load it up. I’m guessing the 404 comes from some kind of automated uptime checker?

deductive logic instead, or set theory, or group theory, or finite field topology

All of these are maths, though?

Also sometimes it actually just is good to know maths. Engineers, researchers, actuaries, accountants…there’s a huge range of practical applications for maths that’s more complicated than basic arithmetic in a very direct fashion, before you even get into jobs that more indirectly use abstract reasoning learnt through high school maths.

It’s interesting to look at how much money the players make in different sports, as a percentage of total sport revenue.

In the EPL (English soccer) you can find it broken down by team, with most of the top teams around 50%–70%, and league-wide they average 71%.

The IPL (Indian T20 cricket) on the other hand, players earn just 18% in the poorest teams (and even worse in the top teams).

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2023/03/29/think-ipl-players-paid-should-paid-three-times/

The NBA (American basketball) gives about 50% (though WNBA is single-digits), NFL (gridiron football) is at 48%, and NHL (hockey) is 50%.

The NRL (Australian rugby league) is less than 30% or around 41%, depending on which source you look at, and the AFL (Aussie rules football) is at around 32%.

This is a pretty one-dimensional look at it, ignoring for example if, say, Aston Villa (which is at 96%, apparently) achieves such a fair looking score by paying a single superstar rather than fairly distributing it across their players. But it’s at least a start.

On the nation-state

Then I think it’s really important that you are clear about that, mainly with yourself, but also any time you talk about the issue in public. Conflating Israel with all Jewish people is a deliberate attempt by the Israeli government and its supporters to make it easier for them to brush off criticism of their actions as “antisemitism”, and is itself an antisemitic act.

It’s also a major factor in increasing genuine antisemitism, because some people see the atrocities the Israel government is committing, see that Israel claims to be acting on behalf of all Jews, and then they turn around and blame all Jews for the actions of Israel. Which only serves to help Israel’s case, which is why it’s so important we be clear about the distinction whenever possible.

that’s kinda harsh on jewish people

Harsh on Jewish people as a whole, or harsh on the nation-state of Israel and its supporters, many of whom are Jewish?

Whoops. Just cleaning up some old tabs and realised I never responded to this. Thanks! It was some really interesting info.

dual booting, as a concept, almost always exists in relation with Windows

Hard to dispute this, except perhaps for the really niche situation of someone dual booting Linux on a Mac. Not especially useful very often, since Macs are a UNIX system. And because of that, not very common compared to Windows on a Mac, or dual booting Windows & Linux.

The most rational explanation I can think of is that it’s a planted leak to figure out who’s leaking.

Either that or just extreme wishful thinking.

Yeah the speed with which the social media minimum age law was passed was astonishing. The public had just 24 hours to make submissions, and those submissions—thousands of them—were given just 4 hours of consideration by the parliamentary committee.

Not an invasive surveillance power, but an extremely untransparent piece of rushed legislation that’s already proving an abject failure as predicted by the many critics.

The gambling industry, facing its own potential ban

Considering how key this part is to the point, it’s rather understated in this article.

In September 2022, Australia started a Parliamentary inquiry into online gambling. In June 2023 the inquiry handed down its full report, including 31 recommendations. 2 of those recommendations included a phased full ban of all advertising of online gambling.

Parliamentary rules require a response to inquiries within 6 months. 30 months later there still has not been any official response.
