FastCGI in general is an improvement over what I used to use, well I had mod_fcgid and some python stuff installed for a bit many years ago. And of course PHP-FPM is pretty battle tested, or so it seems. But I really do believe juggling multiple versions of PHP to be an anti-feature. Having to deal with more than one set of security forks multiplies the amount of work for the admin. You certainly don't have to use the feature, but I can't think of too many situations where going that road is going to help me in the long term.

The world is definitely going to S.H.I.T.

Rust Rocket whistles innocently.

I like hack languages. But many years ago, my friend setup PHP on my server (LAMP style) and it got hacked and defaced, so I updated it and tried to set it up correctly while also making sure the applications people wanted would work. (just a little hobby server). Got hacked again two years later, even though I was mostly just following the distro's updates. I kind of felt it was a bit of chore to keep PHP secure, more work than I could commit to.

I ran AOLserver for a while (Tcl-based apps server) and it was really nice, but not much out-of-the-box I could put on there. These days with reverse proxies and nginx, there really is no reason to use mod_php style setups. And you can pretty easily isolate anything in a jail or container to keep the blast radius down (unusually). And I've had a lot more luck in terms of hardening things when the services are written in Go or Rust, plus they tend to run faster or use less resources than Python, Ruby, or PHP. NodeJS and Deno weirdly fast and light weight for what it is, at least for the relatively straight forward web apps that you once would do with LAMP. But the package distribution for Node is horrific to anyone security minded.

I feel like you have veered quite off topic, perhaps some liberals are living rent free in your head, or a stream of conscious post is carthartic for you. As for the content itself, virtue signaling to your fellow Braunhemden is an age old sport. They demonized communists too, generally blaming communists on all the ills of society, despite their lack of representation. And exaggerating the actual damage done in civil unrest and casting a broad net for the blame, without proof of course. It must be a simple world that you can easily cast people into groups and pass judgement on them, while simultaneously arguing for individual accountability.

Maybe ready some of the essays by the Heritage Foundation and others over the last few decades before commenting. You don't have to go through the whole thing, but most of them are only a few pages long.

One aspect is that UET asserts that the President can dismiss subordinate officials, even when the statutes creating their offices permit removal only "for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office." Which I think is what you are specifically referring to.

More broadly, UET argues that the head of the Executive branch has the authority and discretion in agency rulemaking in addition to the above administrative discretion. There is also more room given by UET proponents in Executive authority in how laws are implemented, but that authority is not unique to UET or really all that unusual in other forms of government.

Historically speaking, the UET position is a corruption of an earlier and incomplete attempt to define the boundaries of the Executive. Because neither the Constitutional Convention nor the First Congress offered a view of executive power as coherent or expansive as today's UET proponents have been proclaiming. As it seems highly unlikely in light of the Federalist Papers, early essays, and debates and discussions of the Framers that the intent of Article II (Executive Vesting Clause and Take Care Clause) was to establish a position above all other branches and above the Constitution itself. (which of course would be a circular argument)

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Airbnb allowed making guests do it.

They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.

Basic Midwestern politiness in these poorly done dating sim esque DLCs was interpreted as a sexual overture.

From the nation that standardized waterboarding. We went from hydropathic torture, to the water cure, 3rd degree police interrogation, then onto waterboarding we have today. America leaves behind a rich culture of violence against the defenseless.

Mario and Pokémon are the two biggest game franchises in history. Nintendo probably doesn't need GTA. And if you count the merchandising, Pokémon is about 10X the revenue of GTA. Sure it can be good to open to more markets, but Nintendo is winning already and they tend to play very safe when it comes to their reputation of being kid friendly.

By coworker brings a half scale one to every protest.

America has recently become more fascinated with firing squads. It's been in the news, and forum posters keep suggesting the method as a solution to the recent botched execution.

Since under Unitary Executive Theory, government agencies answer to the President and not to any mandate that Congress gave them when their agency was created.

Could a satellite release a small drone during an RPO. Enough to attach and collect information or use as a beacon for a future targeting operation? Would it even be detectable if they did? Even a retroreflector would assist in guidance for a surface missile to hit a target in LEO at a later date. If so, is this a late stage test?
