  • Just as a warning, the macvlan stuff isn’t well documented and seems to have hard limits. I worked with it a couple of years ago and had to eventually read a lot of Docker code to figure some stuff out, and the host was only able to successfully set up 4 macvlan networks at a time - the fifth (and any following ones) were never reachable, even though I used the same scripts as for all other ones.

    Things might have improved in the meantime.









  • I don’t know if it’s a people who already have issues and have guns are more likely to use the gun instead of other means kind of statistic you have there

    Well, you could easily figure that out by reading the link I sent. But I’ll gladly clear it up for you: the statistic isn’t about “likelihood of using gun for suicide”, it’s “likelihood of suicide”. Men who own guns are 8x more likely to kill themselves than men who don’t.

    but owning a gun does not want to make you want to kill yourself purely by existing. It is a problem that exists regardless of the gun.

    It is, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore the statistics. Owning a gun dramatically increases your chances of suicide, mostly because it’s the quickest method easily available. Suicide is extremely often an impulse. If you have a quick and easy method available, you’re far more likely to commit suicide than if you don’t. This has been researched for a long time.

    And people who just… don’t have a gun have a thousand different ways to accomplish the task. You aren’t like, a healthy individual then get a gun and suddenly have … urges.

    Okay, so people with suicidal thoughts should just buy guns and go through with it, or what? I’ll repeat myself: you don’t just get help and are magically better the next day. Improving your mental state is a process that takes at the very least multiple years. Knowing yourself and statistics well enough to not give yourself an easy suicide method is good.



  • There’s a well-known and strong correlation between gun ownership and suicide rates:

    Men who own handguns are eight times more likely to die of gun suicides than men who don’t own handguns, and women who own handguns are 35 times more likely than women who don’t.

    I’m not sure if it’s fair to say that people are “acting like this is normal” - it is a real danger, and it’s good that these folks are aware of it and are acting accordingly. Even if you get help, you won’t just magically get better and will never suffer from suicidal thoughts again. Making sure you don’t put yourself in unnecessary danger seems like a healthy strategy to me.






  • I’m not trying to “own” you, don’t be childish. My whole point is: people find things disgusting even if they don’t leave a permanent mark. For you, the threshold is somewhere between brackish dish water and a filled toilet bowl. For other people it’s below brackish dish water. Just accept that other people find things disgusting that you don’t find disgusting, don’t try to tell them “but it doesn’t leave a permanent mark, what’s the issue”.
