CCL is promoting the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024, but it looks to me mostly like a giveaway to the fossil fuel lobby.

• It gives a 150-day statute of limitations for legal challenges to energy projects
• It gives a quota for annual oil and gas lease sales through 2029
• It undoes the LNG export pause, and sets a 90-day deadline for approving or denying future export applications, basically preventing future pauses after the fact like the LNG pause

It includes some permitting streamlining for green energy projects, but it's not clear to me how big a deal that was in the first place, and most of its material support seems aimed at the fossil fuel industry.

Did I miss something, or is all the green nature of this bill mostly a Manchin invention?

[Promoting] Gluetun: The Little VPN Client That Could

My journey with docker started with a bunch of ill fated attempts to get an OpenVPN/qBittorrent container running. The thing ended up being broken and never worked right, and it put me off of VPN integration for another year or so.

Then recently I found Gluetun…and holy fucking cow. This thing is the answer to every VPN need I could possibly think of. I have set it up with 3 different providers now, and it has been more simple and reliable than the clients made by the VPN providers themselves every time.

If you combine the power of Gluetun with the power of Portainer, then you can even easily edit settings for your existing containers and hook them up to a VPN connection in seconds (or disconnect them). Just delete the forwarded ports in the original container, selec

#Thank you for making Owncast a success in 2023

I missed the first week of the year, but I still wanted to write a bit about Owncast and share my appreciation what this past year has brought for Owncast.

As every year before it, Owncast has had the opportunity to be used to solve more people’s live streaming needs, be viewed by more people, and have more conversations around decentralization, Big Tech alternatives, The Fediverse, and all the wonderful things that come along with being a part of Owncast.

Development

From the development standpoint, by far, the biggest effort this year was the rewrite of the Owncast user interface. This was also, by far, the largest effort by numbers of contributors. Switching to React and TypeScript was a huge win for the project. It opened the doors for frontend contributors for the first time, and I’m thankful every day I made that decision. I’m very proud of all all the
