2024.05.23 09:22 saidzebadee Docker Container Routing to Tailnet Failing

I'm in need of some docker sidecar related help. I've refered to the articles "https://tailscale.com/blog/docker-tailscale-guide" and "https://tailscale.com/kb/1282/docker", and also searched to my ability for a solution. The said articles seems to focus on setting up a service for incoming connections, rather than also covering how to route outgoing traffic from the container to other members on my tailnet, or IPs within advertised routes.
I'm also trying go avoid installing tailscale on the host and I've had difficuties with nginx and container's isolated networks etc in the past.
My total environment has much more, but for the sake of setting the scene, this is what I have...
Internet
 --A remote Ubuntu host running docker, and nothing else on the host. ---Tailscale container for Technitium (100.x.x.x) ---Docker container for DNS (Technitium) ---Tailscale container for Uptime Kuma (100.x.x.x.) ---Docker container for service monitoring (Uptime Kuma) ---Tailscale container for webnet-utils (100.x.x.x.) ---Docker container for webnet-utils --My Network ---docker subnet router (advertising 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x) ---IoT stuff to be monitored (192.168.x.x) ---Mail Server (10.x.x.x) ---Other devices
What's working:
All devices on "My Network" can reach to, and get responses from all services running inside the docker containters running tailscale, I use the Tailscale IPs from My Network to do this.
Docker containers running inside the ubuntu remote host are able to reach the docker host via it's public IP and Private assigned IPs.
Same for reaching internet IPs.
Docker containers running inside the ubuntu remote host are able to respond to inbound requests
What's not working:
Docker containers running inside the ubuntu remote host cannot reach other Tailnet IPs or IPs in advertised subnets
The result is that I can't have a monitoring service (uptime kuma) monitor application availbility on any of my tailnet IPs, which includes other docker containers on the same host, and other devices/services running on My Network.
Contaners also cannot use the hosted DNS server (which sits in a container with a tailscale container along side.)
I've installed a container for network diagnostics called webnet-tools (agneev/webnet-tools), and from this can confirm that routing to the host and the internet is fine from the containers. However, no traffic can route from the container to other tailnet IPs or subnet router advertised IPs.
Here's my docker-compose.yaml for the diagnostic tools...
services: ts-webnet-tools: image: tailscale/tailscale:latest container_name: ts-webnet-tools hostname: webnet-tools ports: - "8080:8080/tcp" environment: - TS_AUTHKEY=##################################################### - TS_STATE_DIR=/valib/tailscale - TS_EXTRA_ARGS=--accept-routes - TS_ACCEPT_DNS=true volumes: - /home/ubuntu/appdata/webnet-tools/state:/valib/tailscale - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun cap_add: - net_admin - sys_module restart: always webnet-tools: container_name: webnet-tools image: 'agneev/webnet-tools' network_mode: service:ts-webnet-tools depends_on: - ts-webnet-tools restart: always volumes: ts-webnet-tools: driver: local
The other containers follow the same structure.
Happy to provide any more information to help someone find me an answer.
Thanks.

2024.05.23 09:06 Fx-PinkTape Finding an unknown element from percent composition, help!

Question: The percent composition of an unknown element X in CH3X is 32%. What element is X? {answer is Li}
Ok so I searched online for problems in which you find a unknown element in a compound given percent comp.
I learned how to solve this problem IF the KNOWN elements have a %. I would do:
But for the problem type Im facing I have no clue what to do when only the unknown element has information of percent composition. I tried to mess around with the numbers a lot but never got to the answer. I struggled to find problems that were similar to this one. :(
I would appreciate any guidance on this problem

2024.05.23 08:59 Silvercoat_Ethel23 I have a question, I’ve always been the top of my class heck i got top of my grade, in the finals however..

Everyone was not sleeping at all studying 24/7 and practically killing themselves,I didn’t i still took care of my self and studied hard, I got an average of 99.333…..I’m annoyed because I checked all my answers and they’re all right but i’m not allowed to file a complaint or see my answer paper. Some people who studied and didn’t sleep got lower and others got higher, the grade i needed was 95 so everyone is telling me i’m not allowed to to complain but i’m still bothered because all my grades are 100’s except math which proved to be everyone’s worst subject, my question is how can I feel better because I’ve always been kind of a perfectionist.

2024.05.23 08:53 _mnem Indian elections are simply a contest between Trash and Garbage. Change my Mind.

I live in Delhi and my constituency is set for polling this Saturday. Since the Congress and AAP have formed an alliance this time around, it's a direct contest between BJP and AAP from my constituency.
So let's talk about the two main candidates in fray first- one's only achievement in life is being the daughter of a former tall political leader while the other is a vile, disgusting man with several criminal charges pressed against him. Cannot vote for NOTA because it's useless!
Coming to the parties- the ruling dispensation: BJP. The kind of campaign PM Modi has run this election speaks volumes about the development the govt. has done in the past 10 years. Ten years with a brute majority and despite that you need to invoke petty issues like communalism, eating non-veg food, whataboutery etc.? I haven't forgotten the horrors of the second COVID wave- cremation grounds functioning above their capacity, bodies floating in our pious river Ganga, even my rich neighbours and friends struggling for oxygen and what does our Prime Minister do? Campaign for the Bengal elections. Great. Our finance minister has no answer to the rising prices of food commodities or the insane amount of taxes we are charged with. Farmers, wrestlers,students, entire Ladakh- anyone who dares to express dissent with the government becomes a terrorist! The outright misuse of central agencies to crush the opposition- I am fine with corrupt leaders getting jailed but why drop all corruption cases against those who embrace your party? Unemployment is rampant but our beloved PM asks the electorate to vote for him because it was worse during Nehru- Indira's time!They are simply hiding their collosal failures behind the facade of religion.
And here comes the INDIA alliance. What vision do they have in case they form the government? We will increase reservation, increase freebies in the name of 'NYAY'. A highly 'intellectual' leader of the alliance wants to completely disband CBI and ED. The alliance consists of parties like TMC, SP, RJD etc. As someone who hates fascism, should I vote for literally Mamata or Akhilesh? Anyone with an unbiased point of view knows how fascist these two have been during their tenures as CMs. Reservation- yeah why not simply hike the 50% limit to 100 and push the country backwards? I study in a top govt institute and I will tell you the reality here. The entire OBC- NCL(Non creamy layer) category is a joke in itself. Literally these OBCs belonging to the 'non-creamy layer' are flying off to Dubai, Europe etc. during vacations. Do they deserve reservation? And then there is this economically well off guy who's so rich that he flies back home every other weekend; the fun fact is he doesn't have to pay the tution fees(1 Lakh/semester) because he belongs to the SC category! Do you think he deserved a branch a person which a person with a 2K rank gets at 20K rank? Instead of addressing these issues , the opposition simply wants to flare up the caste divide by increasing the reservation limit.
AAP is the party that's contesting from my constituency so I'll focus on them. The MLA from my assembly constituency, who started off from a very humble background now owns several builder floors in my neighborhood in her husband's name. She roams around in luxury cars- such sudden change of fortunes in the past few years? The liquor scam is REAL. AAP became the very thing it swore to destroy. And please don't lecture me about the insane development AAP has done in Delhi because I know they haven't done shit here. Absolutely not even a brick has been laid in the name of development since Sheila Dikshit has gone.
I simply don't know whom to vote for since we are doomed if either of the sides win. Indian elections and Indian democracy are a joke - they offer no real choices!
Rant over.

2024.05.23 08:41 Lynxy333 Husband can outrun a bad diet.. In his mind

My wonderful, sweet and (mostly😝) clever husband, wants to lose weight. He eats really poorly now, morning consists of cornflakes with the fattiest milk (called sweet milk) and drenches it all in suger. Lunch? Often sweets, chips or anything like it. Dinner? Often times meat with potatoes and a heavy sauce. Will then eat sweets for dessert or just snack at night. (Oh and drinks about 4 liters of pesi in the weekend). He lives a very sedentary life, sits around most days. We have 3 kids, a 1,5 year old and twins soon to be 4 months! He has an old back injury in lower spine, that he is affected by everyday. Age 34, height 180cm, weight, 95kg - doctor listed him as slightly overweight.
The time of his life he felt the best, and had the least problems with his back, was years ago, before I met him, I asked what was different from then till now, and he said he got massages once a week. Asked if he did anything else, and he swore the massages were the best for him and only thing that made things a bit better and was the only difference. After some more digging, I ended up finding out thay during that period, he also walked 4-5 km a day, worked out, ate a lot - but healthier then ever, had a very scheduled life and yeah also got massages once a week. He seem to almost believe it was the massages that was what worked and not the other things also.
After a long talk, about how his lifestyle may also be a contributer into his back pain, me telling him that I am worried about his future, mostly him not taking his health very serious with a diet like that and hardly any movement, and also that I want our kids to not get into bad habits as well once they get older, he said he did want to do something about it. It ain't the first time we've had this conversation, just never had it in such detail.
He agrees he needs to do something, but. Here's the kicker. He wants to do some floor exercise a day (push ups, perhaps squats and stuff like that) walk for 30 minutes and eat more or less the same, just cut down a bit. He is very adamant he will just increase his workout to burn enough calories to still be able to eat the junk he does..
So. How, how oh how, can I explain to him, that yes he will probably lose some weight in the beginning, but he will stagnate quickly, then get unmotivated and possibly go back to his old ways? Because there's no way he can burn as many calories as he is eating currently. He's gained 30kg since I met him. (Back then he was also super unhealthy though, just ate tiny portions.)
He once told me he wanted to get in shape, and decided a 100 push ups a day is how to do it. Well, he did it, 2 maybe 3 days? Before he got so sore he ended up quitting. He also recently told me if you eat a banana and apple a day, you will get a lot more energy. I of course asked him where he heard that, and the answer was.. drumroll pleaseee.. TikTok!🫠 He seemed to believe, if he just added a banana and apple to his shitty diet, he'd get a lot more energy.. And also one time he saw a TikTok video of someone saying you'd lose weight if you added a smoothie to your diet - so my man did just that, added a fruit smoothie to his shitty diet and you guessed it, no weight loss but I think he gained a bit instead.
TLDR; Does anyone out there have any tips on how to make my husband understand that weighloss happens in the kitchen?

2024.05.23 08:08 Alarming-Drink-3595 GCSE AQA Physics May 2024 - Unofficial Mark Scheme

1.1 Thermal or kinetic (kinetic as thermal is transferred to kinetic in the water so it is correct) 1.2 GPE or kinetic (kinetic as the water is MOVED so kinetic is right) 1.3. Method A is better because it can store 69.6 x more energy in kJ than method B and it is also better because it can be installed anywhere which means you have more space to instal them and you can pick places which are difficult to reach unlike B which can only be installed in very high-to-reach places. The only advantage of B is that it wastes 1.6 x less energy compared to A. However, even after energy is wasted, A stores 20160 kJ per 100g of water whereas method B stores 367.5 kJ per 100g so A is much more efficient. 1.4 Loads of possibilities here as they left it open: Transport - using public transport / electric cars / taking shorter rather than faster routes / reducing mass of the car and then the corresponding explanation for reducing CO2 Generating electricity - ANY renewable energy here and it is because they do not release any CO2 so limits global warming. 2.1 Nuclei , neutrons , gamma in this order only 2.2 E= Pt 2.3 500 000 000 x 3600 = 1.8 x 1012 J 2.4 Various things could be accepted: build away from populated areas / thick concrete walls in the power plant / bury waste deep underground / any suitable protection for people working there and limiting their exposure to radiation… 2.5 0.92 x 365 = 335.8 days 3.1 A method below would get you 6 marks as it would produce a valid outcome 1. Using crocodile clips measure out 100 cm of the wire and clip (it is ok if you started with a small length and went up, all valid) 2. Close the switch / Turn power pack on 3. Read the values for current from ammeter and p.d. From voltmeter 4. Open the switch / Turn power pack off 5. Repeat steps 1-4 with different lengths of wire (90,80,70,60 cm) to see the effect on voltage and current 6. Repeat steps 1-5 with all lengths at least 3 more times so you can calculate the mean current and mean potential difference for each length 7. Do R = mean V / mean I for each length so you can plot the graph 3.2 Last box 3.3 1.5V is a small potential difference so it does not generate high currents to cause damage to the body 4.1 The negative metal dome transfers the negative electrons to the person and her hair. Each strand of hair is an individual entity and each strand becomes negatively charged so each hair strand will repel another hair strand. The reason why hair moves away from the metal dome is again as it is repelling it as the hair is negative and so is the metal dome. 4.2 An area where a charged object experiences a force 4.3 it decreases 4.4 E = QV 0.6 = 2x10-6 x V V = 0.6 / 2x10-6 V = 300 000 V 4.5 box 3 decreased electrical resistance of the air 5.1 50 Hz and 230 V 5.2 There are two methods here but each is ok: 1st method P = I²R 0.340 = 0.75² x R R = 0.340 / 0.75² R = 0.604 2nd method P = IV 0.34 = 0.75 x V V = 0.34 / 0.75 V = 0.453 Then use V = IR so 0.453 = 0.75 x R R = 0.453 / 0.75 R = 0.604 5.3 Dirt will change the conductivity of the coin (decrease it) so the current and resistance detected by the vending machine will not be accurate for the machine to recognise a specific coin (as a specific coin will have a specific resistance) 5.4 Google thermistor symbol 5.5 Here you needed to work out the resistance at the thermistor at 20 degrees which was 80 ohms Then work out the current in the whole circuit using V = IR so 12 = I x 480 (it is 480 because the total resistance in the circuit is the sum of all resistances which is 400 from the resistor and the 80 you got from the graph) So I = 12 / 480 = 0.025 A and then do V = 0.025 x 80 so V = 2 V 6.1 Elastic 6.2 This is where you have to assume that elastic potential energy = gravitational potential energy So work out the elastic potential energy in ONE cord is using E = 0.5ke2 E = 0.5 x 735 x 82 = 23520 J per cord and as there are TWO cords we have 47 040 J Then put this into the equation E = mgh 47 040 = 240 X 9.8 X h H = 47040 / (240 * 9.8) = 20 m (if you got 10 m you will get 5 out of 6 marks) 6.3 Energy is lost to the surroundings through friction or air resistance 7.1 Random 7.2 Less excess water will be displaced making the experiment more accurate. The string has a volume so by using a thinner string, less excess water will be displaced by it compared to the thick string. 7.3 Measuring cylinder has not got a high enough resolution. Cylinder has a resolution to 0.1 cm3 but you need an instrument which has a resolution of 0.01 cm3 to get the correct value. 7.4 Take the mass you got and subtract it from 0.02 g 7.5 density = mass / volume 21 500 = m / 4.4 x 10-7 m = 21 500 x 4.4 x 10-7 m = 9.46 x 10-3 lg (note: 0.44 cm^ 3 has to be divided by 1003 to get an answer in m3) 8.1 Less space for particles to move in so MORE FREQUENT collisions (MOREcollisions per second) so MOREforce exerted on the wall of the syringe per unit area (or per m2) 8.2 1st box that mean kinetic energy of the particles increases 8.3 In this question you could have EITHER converted the energy from J to kJ OR converted the specific heat capacity from kJ to J … either is fine. 0.0130 = 2.6 x 10-8 x 1010 x temp change Temp change = 0.0130 / (2.6 x 10-8 x 1010) Temp change = 495.1 degrees 9.1 alpha particles have a very short range in air (few cm) before being absorbed by the air. Source A has a count rate which drops to almost 0 when the source is 3 cm away. If any beta or gamma were present, they would be detected if the source was just 3 cm away but count rate was almost 0 9.2 Use a thin sheet of aluminium. If source B emits beta the count rate will drop to almost zero when you put a sheet of thin aluminium between source and detector and if it is emitting gamma the count rate would barely drop or not at all. 9.3 Things like do not stand right in front of the isotope , be as far away as possible to do the demo, have isotopes out only for the shortest possible time 9.4 Wear gloves which you then throw away OR simple do not touch the source with hands but use long tongs. 9.5 You had to draw a tangent at 300 seconds and here there will be a range of answer possible. My gradient when I did change in y / change in x was 7.3 but a range will be ok. The units were Bq. 10.1 brown 10.2 google symbol for fuse 10.3 Q = It 2 = I x 0.4 I = 2/0.4 I = 5 A 10.4 Again here you could have chosen to convert the energy from J to kJ or the specific latent heat from kJ to J , either is fine. 1.02 = m x 60 000 m = 1.02 / 60 000 m = 1.7 x 10-5 kg 10.5 time taken would increase as more energy would be needed to melt the wire as some heat is lost to the surroundings

2024.05.23 08:07 Victorian_gentleman1 Thoughts on a Fallout set in Kansas City/ Great Plains

The plains commonwealth has really only been visited in the noncanon fallout tactics and could be interesting to revisit. According to the tv series vault map there are 3 vaults in northeast Kansas along I70 with one of them very clearly lining up with Kansas City. The the other 2 appear to stretch as far west as Junction City / Fort Riley. Irl this is a distance of around 100 miles give or take, which after scaling down would be the right size for a typical game map.
As for locations there is a quick string of cities along this 100 mile stretch. Junction City has Fort Riley, Manhattan has Kstate/ Tuttle Creek lake and dam, Topeka has the state capitol, Lawrence has KU (Kstate’s rival), and KC has many locations making it the primary city on the map. Similar to fallout 4’s usage of revolutionary history They could also play into the history of bleeding ks (A mini war between the Ks territory and the state of Missouri over slavery which predated the civil war by 10 years.)
In regards to the environment we could either see vast expanses of dead wheat and corn fields or have the native grasslands reclaim the crop fields with hoards of radiated bison roaming the plains. Radiated tornadoes could also occur causing the player and factions problems.
New factions could be indigenous tribes who have reclaimed their ancestral lands and are rebuilding. This would also answer wider fallout lore questions about what happened to/ where are the Native Americans. John Brown’s Jayhawkers based out of Lawrence could also make an appearance as a faction playing into the bleeding ks history similar to the minutemen.
Dlc could add more locations in southeast Nebraska, Northwest Missouri, or southern Ks cities like Wichita which is heavily involved in aircraft manufacturing and could feature a settlement built out of aircraft parts.

2024.05.23 08:07 brownryan94 I think the porn theory checks out for TRITA

The lyrics absolutely support this theory:
"I'm feeling I'm close" close to... you know what this means "A certain tension rising in the air" 'certain' could be used to hint at what kind of tension; people say it as a way to be like "you know what 'tension' I'm talking about" "Hand's aching, fingers wet" this feels too specific to not be something sexual, why say "fingers wet" and not "hands wet" when saying you're sweating because you're nervous?
I'm also thinking that LORRAIN (OP) is very similar to Carl92 in the sense that they uploaded the snippet (which is really short) and dipped, not wanting to answer much questions because they know where it's from.
Of course there are a lot of loopholes, mainly the lyrics aren't confirmed so it could be "sudden tension" and not "certain tension", same with "hand's aching" could be "head's aching", don't know how sex could be so stressful you get a headache (lmao).
There's also "something spooky like the sheet/shade of a ghost" which, I mean, the word 'like' is in there, making it a simile, and not a focal part of the sentence, just a comparison to describe how the singer's feeling, for emphasis. Also no real idea how this ties into the porn theory, because I don't see how there would be any spooky feeling.
And in contrary to Ulterior Motives, if this theory checks out, the song could actually have been written for a porn film. "Please Don't Stop", which was found in an Israeli video company's logo (Malibu Video), was found to be made for a 1986 adult film also called "Please Don't Stop". People have said that even if TRITA's lyrics are adult-themed, pop music has lyrics talking about sex all the time, so it doesn't mean it's from a porno. However if you read the lyrics for "Please Don't Stop", you'll notice that even though the lyrics are adult-themed because it was written for a porno, there's no adult language that could make it unsuitable for radio airplay.
So, yeah. Unfortunately the porn theory isn't 100% supported because even though there's a lot of evidence pointing to it, there are some gaps, like the "jet sounds" at the end, and the unconfirmed lyrics. It's just something to help point us in the right direction.

2024.05.23 08:02 Typical_Toe_1705 嘗試了解一下美國的藐視國會罪 Contempt of Congress，以及引申而來的擔憂

了解了一下美國聽證會的藐視國會罪，跟台灣的有很多相似之處，但也有差異的地方
  1. 台灣定義模糊的反質詢，美國沒這個問題
  2. 聽證會的目的要定義清楚，要對立法有效
  3. 決定送檢調是議會的事，決定怎麼關罰多少錢是法院的事。國民黨後來也澄清要法院通過，不過我找不到明確條文。
  4. 沒想到美國也這麼強硬，能突破律師-當事人義務，還有其他商業秘密保護。美國靠的是委員會通常要求自願參與來避免權力的衝突，台灣的立委們能限制自己的權力嗎？能確保聽證會是私密的嗎？
  5. 美國國會不能就司法案件調查。目前的修法結果是司法調查的案件還是要交給立法院委員會，但這點應該違反了釋字585號
  6. 美國第五修正案可以適用，台灣釋字384, 392 不知道能不能保護我們
研究過程中，發現第三項很有趣，給予藐視國會刑責，其實賦予了司法機關審查國會決議的合法性，也就是就算國會判藐視國會，如果司法最後判無罪，就是給予司法機關凌駕於立法決策之上的能力
其實我最擔憂的是第四點，如果立法太寬鬆，立委們要利用這點洩密太容易了。第四點也是程序問題導致的最大漏洞，台灣對於聽證制度沒有任何規範，類似的只有公聽會，但這對於隱私一點保護都沒有，如果要授予國會這麼強的調查權，那國會諸公們也應該要訂好規範，限制對於秘密的保護
第五點目前看還不確定，美國是寫在憲法中保證司法的獨立性，台灣呢？揭弊達人與弊案達人們，是否能調查檢察官？這也是我很大的擔憂。
但參考美國的制度，其實我覺得只要能完善定義範圍跟義務，藐視國會罪會是好事
---- 以下是我的讀書整理 ----
適用條件？
國會委員會必須滿足三個要求，其傳票才能「合法充分」。首先，委員會對廣泛主題領域的調查必須得到其委員會的授權；其次，調查必須追求“有效的立法目的”，但不需要涉及立法，也不需要明確國會的最終意圖；第三，具體詢問必須與已授權調查的主題領域相關。
As announced in Wilkinson v. United States (1961),\13]) a congressional committee must meet three requirements for its subpoenas to be "legally sufficient." First, the committee's investigation of the broad subject area must be authorized by its chamber; second, the investigation must pursue "a valid legislative purpose" but does not need to involve legislation and does not need to specify the ultimate intent of Congress; and third, the specific inquiries must be pertinent to the subject matter area that has been authorized for investigation.
運作模式？
在藐視法庭罪名成立後，眾議院議長被指示將此事提交給哥倫比亞特區美國檢察官； 根據法律，美國檢察官有責任將此事提交大陪審團採取行動。藐視國會罪的刑罰為不少於 1 個月至 12 個月的監禁，並處以 10 萬美元或 100 美元以下的罰款。不過2008年裡來，國會通過 10 起藐視案，檢察官只有起訴兩起。
ref: congress.gov search on "recommending that the house find ... in contempt of congress"
能不能保密？
不行，不管是律師與當事人的保密特權、貿易秘密、隱私權，通通都不豁免向委員會提交文件。基本上交給聽證會的東西，就要當作可以被公開。也因此通常委員會傾向自願參與聽證會，而不是強制發正式傳票
Because these privileges are not generally recognized as constitutional guarantees, it is usually within the investigating committee’s discretion to decide on a case-by-case basis whether to recognize the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. ... Put simply, concerns about the confidentiality or privacy of information will not generally operate to limit the scope of a congressional subpoena. ... documents that are usually protected from disclosure by the Trade Secrets Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1905, the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. §552, or under exceptions to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, are not exempt from production to Congress. ... A responding party must expect, therefore, that any information provided to Congress—even information that is otherwise entitled to protection as confidential or privileged—may become public. As with the other areas we have noted, certain privacy concerns may be raised with committee staff and negotiated on a case-by-case basis. ... For the same procedural reasons described above, committees nevertheless typically prefer to request voluntary testimony rather than issue formal testimonial subpoenas.

2024.05.23 07:56 Ok-Television4928 being sued by university

i went to a small town college for 1 semester back in 2021 and i admittedly avoided paying them back because i was living on my own paying bills, my car, my rent, etc (i was 20 at the time). fast forward to 2022, i got a letter that the school was suing me (small claims court) for not repaying the tuition and i had to show up to court. shortly prior to the court date, i was let off from my only job and it took me months to find something. i told them this when i was there and they still made me agree to pay $50/ month. of course, i paid on and off because at the time i was selling my clothes online to get by while i searched for a job. time goes by and i couldn’t pay most of the time so they made me go back to court sometime last year and told me i had to pay $100/month now (my total debt is $6400) and i had to agree and again was paying on and off because i had finally got a job but my boyfriend and i share one car and so we’ve been looking for jobs that we can work together (serving and catering). between rent, our car, bills, my credit card payments, it’s difficult to have money to pay for this debt. i have no savings, no nothing. they just emailed me last week saying that they now are going to be just taking the money out of account and want me to answer questions about my bank accounts. today they took all the money out of my account and i just don’t know what to do. i have to go to court again in july and im so tired of them harassing me so hard. i regret even trying to go to college simply because of this. mind you, when i was in school, i asked them to set up a payment plan and they said i could pay either in 3 parts (around 1500/month) or 2 parts (around 2300/month) and that obviously wasn’t an option for me bc who can pay that?? my credit score is horrible bc of this whole situation so i don’t know if i could even get a loan. idk what to do, this whole situation makes me so upset and i beat myself up so much for not having done something earlier when i had a job that paid decently. idk if getting a lawyer would do anything either. any advice? (forgot to mention my total now is 6400 but that’s the tuition plus court fees, my tuition was around 4500)

2024.05.23 07:53 enormousaardvark I asked Claud AI and ChatGPT 4 to estimate the time would take to mine a bitcoin block at 55 kh/s

TL:DR 124-206 billion years
ChatGPT 4 answer
Mining a Bitcoin block involves solving a cryptographic puzzle, and the time it takes to do so depends on several factors, including the network's hash rate, the difficulty of the mining process, and your own hash rate. Here's a step-by-step approach to estimate the time it would take to mine a Bitcoin block at 55 kH/s (55,000 hashes per second): 1. **Understand the Hash Rate Units**: - 1 kH/s = 1,000 hashes per second - 1 MH/s = 1,000,000 hashes per second - 1 GH/s = 1,000,000,000 hashes per second - 1 TH/s = 1,000,000,000,000 hashes per second 2. **Bitcoin Network Hash Rate**: As of May 2024, the Bitcoin network hash rate is approximately 350 EH/s (350,000,000,000 TH/s). 3. **Bitcoin Mining Difficulty**: The difficulty adjusts approximately every two weeks (or every 2016 blocks) to ensure that blocks are mined on average every 10 minutes. Let's assume the difficulty is around 50 trillion (5 x 10^13). 4. **Calculate the Probability of Finding a Block**: The probability \( P \) of finding a block in one hash attempt is the ratio of your hash rate to the network hash rate: \[ P = \frac{\text{Your Hash Rate}}{\text{Network Hash Rate}} \] Converting hash rates to the same units: \[ \text{Your Hash Rate} = 55 \text{ kH/s} = 55,000 \text{ H/s} \] \[ \text{Network Hash Rate} = 350 \text{ EH/s} = 350 \times 10^{18} \text{ H/s} \] \[ P = \frac{55,000}{350 \times 10^{18}} \] \[ P \approx 1.571 \times 10^{-14} \] 5. **Average Number of Hashes to Find a Block**: Given the difficulty \( D \): \[ \text{Average Number of Hashes} = D \times 2^{32} \approx 50 \times 10^{12} \times 2^{32} \] \[ 2^{32} \approx 4.29 \times 10^9 \] \[ \text{Average Number of Hashes} = 50 \times 10^{12} \times 4.29 \times 10^9 \approx 2.145 \times 10^{23} \] 6. **Estimated Time to Mine a Block**: \[ \text{Estimated Time} = \frac{\text{Average Number of Hashes}}{\text{Your Hash Rate}} \] \[ \text{Estimated Time} = \frac{2.145 \times 10^{23}}{55,000 \text{ H/s}} \] \[ \text{Estimated Time} \approx 3.9 \times 10^{18} \text{ seconds} \] 7. **Convert to Years**: \[ 3.9 \times 10^{18} \text{ seconds} \times \frac{1 \text{ minute}}{60 \text{ seconds}} \times \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{60 \text{ minutes}} \times \frac{1 \text{ day}}{24 \text{ hours}} \times \frac{1 \text{ year}}{365.25 \text{ days}} \] \[ \text{Years} \approx 1.24 \times 10^{11} \text{ years} \] To summarize: 1.24×10111.24×1011 years is equal to 124,000,000,000 years (124 billion years). This is a highly simplified estimation. Realistically, mining a Bitcoin block with a hash rate of 55 kH/s is practically impossible due to the enormous computing power of the Bitcoin network. Professional miners use hardware that operates in the TH/s or even PH/s range. For instance, the latest mining rigs from leading manufacturers can reach hash rates of up to 100 TH/s or more. To effectively participate in Bitcoin mining today, individuals typically join mining pools where they combine their computational power with others and share the rewards.
Claude AI answer
To estimate the time it would take to mine a Bitcoin block at a hashrate of 55 kH/s (55,000 hashes per second), we need to consider the current network difficulty and the block reward. As of May 2023, the Bitcoin network difficulty is around 43.05 trillion, and the block reward is 6.25 BTC. The probability of finding a valid block depends on the ratio of your hashrate to the total network hashrate. We can estimate the total network hashrate from the difficulty using the following formula: Network Hashrate = Difficulty × 2^32 / (600 * 6) Plugging in the current difficulty, we get: Network Hashrate = 43.05 × 10^12 × 2^32 / (600 * 6) Network Hashrate ≈ 358.35 EH/s (358,350,000,000,000,000 hashes per second) Your hashrate of 55 kH/s is a tiny fraction of the network hashrate, so the probability of finding a block is extremely low. The expected time to find a block is calculated as: Expected Time = (Difficulty × 2^32) / (Your Hashrate) For your hashrate of 55 kH/s, the expected time would be: Expected Time = (43.05 × 10^12 × 2^32) / (55 × 10^3) Expected Time ≈ 6.51 × 10^18 seconds To put this into perspective, this is approximately 2.06 x 10^11 years (206 billion years). So, with a hashrate of 55 kH/s, it would take an extraordinary amount of time to mine a Bitcoin block, far exceeding the age of the universe. This is why most individuals and organizations participate in mining pools to combine their hashrates and increase their chances of finding blocks and earning rewards.

2024.05.23 07:51 Conaman Why were Australia's frontier wars deadlier than America's frontier wars?

I read a study estimating 72,000 people died in the US Indian Wars, including 12,000 US casualties. Then I saw an Australian documentary where a researcher estimates 72,000 Aboriginal people were killed by Native Police in Queensland alone, with estimates of an additional estimate of 2,000-5,000 settlers killed.
Since Queensland is only one state, an estimate of 100,000 casualties for the whole continent isn't hard to picture. This is staggering, since I thought native America had a higher pre-contact population than native Australia. So why was settler violence seemingly much worse in Australia than the continental US over a similar period of time? Repost as this didn't receive an answer last time.

2024.05.23 07:51 Ok-Tree9951 Question for MEN only

​
Is it truly possible to think your woman is the most beautiful girl in the world and you only have eyes for her. If there was another universally attractive girl around you wouldn’t care or do a double take because your so focused on the woman you have. Is it possible to be so in love that you don’t care for other woman’s looks. I know physical attraction toward your woman plays a big role in this but overall can this happen or is it wishful thinking .
I personally refuse to settle for anything less than this but I am curious for what you all have to say.
P.S. I want 100% honesty from your answer no sugarcoating .Thank you.

2024.05.23 07:28 Sadbitchhours2 My porn addicted, pathological liar bf

Hey guys, I’m new to Reddit. Please hear what I have to say. At this point I’m just so desperate, I came here for answers, advice, comments, and for just someone to listen bc what I’m going thru is honestly just so painful. Being on this app in itself is a painful asf bc I know my bf has used this for yk what.
I’m 20f and my bf is 21m. We’ve been together since we were 17. I met him when he was going full out on Christianity. He’s schizophrenic so naturally this became his obsession, doing things like saying grace before every sip of water, having these crazy episodes where he still believes the things he was shown, like becoming a famous music artists at 30 and how the only way he’s gonna die is by suicide sometime in his 30s. But this is also how he found out abt his own addiction. Long story short, he became a pathological liar with porn. Constantly galighting, lying, making up stories, cussing me out. I could go on and on abt the times he’s lied, the times when I hear the girls from the vids he’s watching while we’re ft, when I wake up to it on ft, the girls I obsess over, the eating disorders I have, the incredible amount of self hatred. I hate to admit but I have become such a bitter person towards him. The yelling and insulting and the anxiety is just so fucking much. I get huge panic attacks when I hear certain artists out in public playing. It’s just so much.
The lying is incredibly excessive. During a certain period of time, we had “broken up” (this was a normal thing), he had told me he was getting apps to find friends. He even told me stories about some dude. Ofc I’m still seeing him everyday, ofc we’re still have sex and saying I love you. We were still basically in a relationship. We went to the beach, I saw a tinder notification popped up. I lost my shit, hit my hand so hard on the steering wheel I got a bone bruise. He told me he just had bumble to find friends. The next day I knew something bad was happening. He fell asleep with his phone open and ofc I took that opportunity to look thru. What I found broke my fucking heart. 11+ hookup apps in his phone and a few dating apps. Literally all the way to Ashley Madison. my heart stopped. Ofc I took pics of everything, but he defended himself by saying that we “broke up”. Is this part of addiction or was this too far? He’s the kinda person where u shove his own ohoje in his face with the own evidence he left in his phone, he’d gaslight and say he didn’t know what I was talking about and he didn’t know why the app did that. Am I wrong for feeling that way? Was what he did ok since it another “break up”?
Here’s a little update I am sitting next to him writing this and he finally wakes up and he goes on his YouTube shorts which I obviously hate because he’s used it and I sat there next to him and I said “I want to see your feed really quick”, while he’s scrolling and watching I’m literally not interfering. I’m not doing anything but he scrolls through one video and locks his phone and goes back under the covers and obviously it’s a clear sign that he is lying and he’s relapsed. Please tell me I’m not just making things up in my head because this is really suspicious. It has been almost 2 months since his “most recent relapse” and the longest that he has lasted with my help was one month and last time that he “lasted two months” he gaslit me and cussed me out and didn’t know why I didn’t believe him. I obviously found out later that he was lying. Honestly, at this point, I just don’t know what to do because it’s been three years and he’s still in this cycle of lying and relapsing, then lying then relapsing, and it seems like it’s just never going to end. Like, does it actually ever and does it get better without therapy without wanting help from anybody else? Because lately I have just been ignoring him when I’m at my house because I just can’t be on the phone anymore because it gives me too much anxiety, not knowing what he’s doing when I’m not around him. I have literally gotten to the point where when he is in my room alone I have to have a camera on because I am so scared. Should I be scared? Do I have a right to?
He has recently gotten into this thing where he gets extremely pissed at me for some thing that I have not even done. He gets so scared that the reason that he’s going to off himself is because I’m going to expose him to the entire world of everything that he has done to me. like his whole name out there and just “how bad of a person he is”. So he sits there and lashes out in these crazy anger rages because he thinks that I’m going to do some thing like 100%. Like he cusses me out in my own house and ends up leaving because he’s so scared of what I’m gonna do because of all the Shit he did to me. There’s sm more I could say honestly. I could write a book if I wanted.
To this day, he still lies, never much improvement over the last three years. Can only last a month or less at this point. Is this normal? Like how long should I wait? Should I just leave? He doesn’t want any outside help. He’s still stuck in the shame and idk if it really is ever gonna improve. Do you need outside help to get better? Is willpower enough?

2024.05.23 07:25 Hex_99 newbie weapon question

Been playing for a month or so (just passed 100 mark) and I am still trying to settle on guns and a loadout. Tried Rifleman with a (lucky!) Quad lever which does good damage in stealth and is great solo but very slow. Also tried commando with a Fixer but the reload is annoying. Same with Railway rifle (although RR is way more fun). I know quad will be my answer here.
Now the question: Can anyone tell me what the rifle(?) in the attached image is? The very talented person seemed to be running a single-shot build and was decimating mobs .
Apologies for the bad 'trim' job :)

2024.05.23 07:21 mara2uk I need advice please. I am dating a man from a different religion and culture.

Hi everyone,
I need your advice, please. I am freaking out.
I am a 38-year-old woman, British but parents are Iraqi. I was born and raised in the UK, and I identify as British. I am so proud of who I am. I am also an atheist and more science-based. At age 25, I moved to LA/California, got my PhD, and became a psychotherapist. I later switched all my patients online, backpack all around the world, and also do property investment on the side. I honestly can say I live life to the fullest. However, I don't have too many friends, and surprisingly when I'm in LA, I am an introvert.
A month ago, my sister gave me a call and said there is an Iraq/Muslim guy who wants to get married, and apparently, he is a good man. I originally said "No," then thought about it, and told myself I want to know why I am saying "No," and I should talk to him because I was 100% sure I won't like him due to the difference in culture that I am not fond of (with all due respect, I don't mean to insult anyone). I spoke to the guy, and my initial thought was "NO" because he is a typical Iraqi, who prays, expects the girl to be a virgin, gave the impression he was conservative. However, he was nice to talk to, so I talked to him again, and again, and again. The problem is the guy is amazing. He is such a good man, not just with me, but within himself. The topic of relationships came up, and usually in the culture, more often than not, the female usually lies about her experience. I told him, "Listen, I am British, I love who I am, I am not a virgin, and my experiences are not mistakes, they are my norms, and I totally understand if you would like to cut ties because it's against everything you believe. I am also not a Muslim, nor do I agree with the teachings, but I can respect it, as I respect all religions. I will not practice it, and I will not change, nor will I ever give up who I am." He responded with "Thank you for being so honest, and this is exactly why I would like to be with you." He said he still sees me as "an Iraqi woman as it's DNA," but he acknowledges I was raised abroad and I live like everyone else. He said religion should never be imposed on anyone, and I am free to believe or not believe whatever I like, but it's important to him for his children to be Muslim. He is so patient with me, when we disagree with something, he is calm and tries to explain it in the kindest way. He is such a good man. I am so confused, and he is everything I said I won't get involved with (culture and religion wise). I wish if I can just hate him so I can move forward with my life. I am scared of leaving him and regretting it. I know he will treat me right, and will take such good care of me and my heart, but I am scared that I might feel in prison. I am scared that I will be left out because my future kids will be Arabic/Muslim and I am not. I am scared of not understanding each other’s mentality. He doesn't speak English, so we have a language barrier. I am okay talking, but not perfect. Also, the guy left Iraq 20 years ago, and had moved to Turkey 8 years ago. I am meeting him in person in July, if we like each other, he wants us to get married, and I would move to Turkey. My work won't be affected because it's online. He is 44, and wants to have kids ASAP because of his age, which I do understand.
What I like about hims, he always answers my calls even if he's at work and I know he is crazy busy. He stays up late just to talk to me and sleeps at 2 or 3 am when he usually sleeps at 10 am because of the time difference. He said whatever money you make, it's your money, and I want to take care of you and the house financially (I don't care about that but it was nice to hear). I like that he like me without makeup with jeans and T-shirt. He want me to be part of everything and always there for me. He always tells me, that I need to tell him when something is bothering me and wont bottle it inside, and I shouldn't think I am offending him. He has extremely loving parent, so he know what healthy looks like (I didn't, I learned from books). He is an amazing business man and much smarter than me and can teach me so much (I love business). He has an adventures side to him, and is always open to what I have to say. I don't know if I can't stop calling hims because I am lonely, scared of dying alone, or that I like him.
I can't think, I am one minute happy, one minute sad. I always thought I was going to marry someone British, we will live together before marriage, kids optional, he will travel the world with me, both work online, we move to Bali and I build houses there and he can help if he wants (this was my next investment). But this is all different now, and the guy is such a good man that he is not giving any good reason for me to leave. I like him (I think) I don't know.
Please, someone tell me what to do.

2024.05.23 07:12 scrappylilsuperwoman [CA] My boss treats me differently than my colleagues

I’m (35f) worried my directoboss (45m) is looking for ways to get me fired or throw me under the bus. Or make me look bad to save his own butt for whatever reason. Please help :( I can’t figure it out.
For context, most recently, I returned from PTO last week (for a wedding) and 2 days after returning I got sick really bad. (I’ve never been out sick) A lot of our team caught it actually. Today was my first day feeling 100%, I sorta tried to work through some of it but I was very foggy (I had test results proving my illness btw). So I’ve had 4 days in total since returning from PTO early last week.
For further context, my boss often cuts me off and doesn’t let me speak or finish, he’ll argue a point with me without clear justification, and he definitely gives my coworkecounterpart (27f) way more support. She even notices, we’ve talked about it. However our jobs serve different domains of our wider work.
Today he told me I’m letting things slip and laid into me quite a bit about it. At one point he mentioned he wants to give me more but is “concerned.” But he couldn’t articulate any clear missed deadlines or undesirable consequences. He also couldn’t answer me when I asked if he was only bringing this up due to my recent inability to tend to my workload due to being sick. I asked what his ideal best case scenario would have been for me in response to this, so I could have an expectation, and he didn’t have anything.
My coworker and I are pretty close. He is reasonable with her when she forgets small things, will even check in with her during the week on her task list, call to check up occasionally, as well as provide insight and his thoughts. He provides real guidance, positive reinforcement, even admits when he is wrong, with her (there is nothing romantic. Also, this woman is like a Disney princess, she can woo the hardest of hearts- I thought I was fairly charming with her it is a true talent) where as with me, he doesn’t do any of this.
In fact, I have reason to believe he’s unsure of his ability to guide me because our areas of expertise are quite different.
When he brought up things had been slipping I asked questions and explained a few things but mostly listened and thanked him for the feedback and being honest with me, I know managing people is hard because I’ve done it. Except, I try to empower and professionally connect with my team, with boundaries of course.
I’m truly not a difficult person to work with. I’m intelligent and good at my job. Not a genius but I contribute. Open to feedback. I’ve always been called a pleasure to work with, I’m still friends with a few old female bosses (some male bosses I’ve had issues with. I’m attractive but always appropriate (hate that I have to justify this), not awkward, relaxed, I get along well with male coworkers too, I work hard and stay late from time to time) if anything I’m a bit people please-y, and not quick to argue. I wish I were better at defending myself on the spot. If anything I’m “too nice,” but I do push back occasionally and articulate myself when I feel something is unfair.
A reminder- my coworker has seen the difference in treatment in actual meetings before. So I know I’m not crazy. I LIKE having a boss, I love my job and I WANT to learn.
How do I get this guy to back off? I’d love a boss who could actually teach me things even, but mostly I just want to keep my job and not be unfairly targeted.
Can I tell him or HR I feel like I’m being targeted or treated unfairly as a way to get him to back off? (I’m in CA state, at my company we have unlimited/flexible PTO)
Edit: Thank you for the advice, I will definitely consider it. I really don't want to look for a new job because my last job I got unexpectedly laid off after one year and was unemployed for 6 months and it really ruined me financially. I don't have parents nearby who could've helped or offer temporary living. Before that my job was for a year and a half. So I'm trying to do my best to have a solid couple years' run here, I took this job in the fall because I wanted to lay down roots and learn and grow. I love my coworkers otherwise, and I like my boss' boss a lot, I know she cares about helping people advance and grow. I know good jobs aren't easy to come by, but I will consider the advice of looking elsewhere :)

2024.05.23 07:12 Unfair_Ad_151 Medical questions for enlistment.

Hello this is for any air force recruiter in this page. I really want to join the Air Force and get into the Non destructive testing program they offer but March 23rd I crashed my car really bad. The only injury I came out with was a broken neck. As of may 22nd I was told my fracture has healed but the bad is I have on my C4-5 grade 1 retrolisthesis. Which is the reverse of spondylosis it slide backwards instead of forwards. It’s something that shouldn’t effect me a general healthy 20 years old man too greatly until I’m much older but I’m wondering what that entails on my qualifications on military service with the Air Force. Will there be no chance of getting it waived when I get back to my 100% after a good while of physical therapy. I hope maybe someone can answer if not I’ll eventually go to the recruiter office.
Thank you for your time.
