In journalism, the standard is to share the whole name of a subject. If you don’t share the whole name, it’s appropriate to explain why.

Surprised no one has mentioned The Expanse series. A ton of world building in very different kinds of environments. Space stations, small ships, big ships, generation ships, asteroids, moons, planets.

The environments are well thought out in how the residents would need to adapt

There are a ton of style guides beyond APA. In addition to APA, I’ve used MLA, Chicago and Turabian through my academic career (BA, MS, MBA).

The likelihood of using any style guide outside of academia is low. However, in some non-academic research situations, you might use a style guide. Think about research done at a tech company where you need to document your work and distribute it for review, dissemination or presentation. Or maybe a policy institute or think tank who want to effect change at a state or federal level.

That said, teaching high school students about APA or MLA is more about helping them understand how research happens and is documented. You need to understand how to A) read what other people think about a topic and B) share your thoughts in a way that builds upon the extant literature.

This process of learning research methods also teaches you to be a critical thinker. Did the Author of Study A say something that you don’t agree with? Can you find Study B that refutes that point, or does the entire community agree with it?

Apply that concept to something like the news. You might hear a Fact like 5,000 immigrants cross the southern border every day. Is that a lot? Is that good or bad?

Now you can go read some analysis.

  • A conservative author might say that all immigration is bad because they deprive jobs from citizens. We need to block all border crossings.
  • A progressive author might say that immigrants create jobs or provide a net benefit to the economy. We need to permit more legal immigration.

Which opinion is correct? How would you gather more information to understand the situation? How would you build upon those two ideas to form your own opinion?

I would recommend using some containerization process like Docker or Podman.

That way the state of each service is independent of each other and the dependencies don’t change.

For example, if one service needs python2 but another needs python3 you don’t have to manage that. The docker build file manages that for you

Are you using services running on the OS, Docker or VMs?

With Docker you can set the Network and have some containers traffic egress on the vpn while others have no WAN or direct access. You can have a container join multiple networks to have the best of both worlds.

With VMs, you can set the network interface

With the OS, you might be able to set network interface for each service, but I don’t know how

Create a configuration file. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp has the documentation

Columbus is a great little city in a not so great state. The local politics are quite progressive and the food and bar scene is quite nice. There was a decently sized queer community when I lived there a decade ago, and I’d expect it to continue to flourish as long as a major university is nearby.

Winters are cold. Summers are hot. The weather is what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you for your perspective! I appreciate the insight

How does it exclude people? I don’t understand
