    Here it is: Walk Free's Global Slavery Index

    ># What is modern slavery? > >###### Modern slavery takes many forms and is known by many names. Essentially, it refers to situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, or deception. > >Modern slavery includes forced labour, forced or servile marriage, debt bondage, forced commercial sexual exploitation, human trafficking, slavery-like practices, and the sale and exploitation of children. In all its forms, it is the removal of a person’s freedom — their freedom to accept or refuse a job, their freedom to leave one employer for another, or their freedom to decide if, when, and whom to marry — in order to exploit them for personal or financial gain.

    So, slavery includes being coerced into a job in which you are exploited for financial gain....? !three-heads-thinking

    So where did their data come from?

    I spent an hour studying their methodology in hopes of finding the raw data for the DPRK, but I couldn't glean much except that it was not among the surveyed countries.

    I emailed info@walkfree.org asking about an hour ago and got the automated reply quoted below. I'll see if anyone gets back to me.

    >Thank you for your enquiry. Please be advised that your correspondence has been received and will be distributed to a Walk Free representative for follow up where required. > >Walk Free reports and data > >Walk Free’s Global Slavery Index report and data are available for free download here: www.globalslaveryindex.org/resources/downloads/. > >All other publications produced by Walk Free can be found on our resources page: www.walkfree.org/resources/.

    To their credit, they did remove several instances of North Korea from the Department of Labor's "list of products at risk of modern slavery by source country" because they "could not find recent evidence to verify the occurrence of forced labour".

    However, they added to the list solar panels from China, because of the "well-known" exploitation occurring there. It then cites an article on the Uyghurs. lol

    Changed my server's IP and now I can't access my website over VPN

    Maybe one of you hogs knows what's up.

    I got a new IP address for my VPS and updated the DNS A record accordingly. That was two days ago and I still get an "unable to connect" error when trying to access TankieTube through protonVPN.

    However, if I drop the VPN everything works. This is the case with both Firefox and Chrome.

    Does this have to do with DNS propagation?

    How do you get from the value on the left to the value on the right?

    | UUID | ? | | --- | --- | | 2126816c-89f5-4aab-842f-65b9f3a39c8b | 56qHyeZvHYZitUFukWo5rz | | 8b9f9c44-6e1b-485b-af00-c8b0e0067d59 | ieZJYUFB83oQacsNiQ55Bt | | 72bd4bd2-9538-43f3-81b2-b8df991a32d8 | faLTidGsoG1G1TPLKUFcJh |

    It's not hex to base64 or hex to base58. That's when I gave up and decided to comradesource it.

    PeerTube creates two URLs for each video. The original, long one looks like this:

    https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/2126816c-89f5-4aab-842f-65b9f3a39c8b

    And the sleeker format looks like this:

    https://tankie.tube/w/faLTidGsoG1G1TPLKUFcJh

    The database only stores the UUID so the shorter ID must be a function of the first.

    Hinkle was recently featured by the NYT as the face of the rising anti-imperialist and pro-Palestinian movements.

    >Today, he says he is a Stalinist and a Maoist who was expelled from the Communist Party of the United States. (Roberta Wood, a party leader in Chicago, said he subscribed to the newsletter but had never joined the party and did not reflect its values.) He once supported Bernie Sanders, but now praises Donald Trump.

    >He is, he wrote last year, an “American PATRIOT, GOD fearing, Pro-FAMILY, Marxist Leninist, Pro-PALESTINE, RUSSIA & CHINA, Anti-DEEP STATE, Anti-IMPERIALIST, Anti-WOKE, Pro-GROWTH, ANTI-MONOPOLY, Pro-GUN, Pro-FOSSIL FUEL.”

    Now liberals everywhere will continue to associate those ideologies with uncritical support for Putin and anti-LGBT views. !blob-no-thoughts

    If there is a candidate 1% worse than Hitler then you are morally obligated to vote for Hitler!

    We've all heard the liberal argument "if there is a candidate only 99% as bad then you're morally obligated to vote for 99% Hitler." But when we extend that logic to a nearly identical scenario it suddenly sounds a lot less compelling.

    [Edit: Solved] Riddle me this: a monitor works fine via HDMI, but via DP the computer fails to boot and the motherboard beeps five times (indicating a CPU failure) 😵‍💫

    The DP cable works fine with other monitors on the same computer.

    This is day 12 of using comrades as tech support.

    Edit: I JUST FOUND OUT THE MONITOR HAS A SECOND DP PORT AND THIS ONE WORKS! @refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org was probably right about the short. You know how new devices come with rubber plugs in their ports to keep dirt out? There was one plug in this monitor that I had never pulled out because I never needed it, and that was this port.

    Now I'm on to the next problem with this new computer which is: why are xrandr commands not working and why are two of my monitors set at resolutions higher than their native ones?
