Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • except a million more Ukrainians and Russians would still be alive.

    Maybe. I don’t think you can say that for sure. Maybe in that timeline, that peace would have come and gone by now.

    Well yeah, did you expect Russia to disarm?

    No. I expect both sides to remain armed to the teeth, perhaps even growing their capabilities for years after a peace-deal.

    My country neighbours Russia, and unlike some neughbours, we never disarmed. That doesn’t mean we’re out to expand our territories. It is just the reality of being neighbours with Russia, even then for a while there our military expenditure felt like a waste even to me.

    Not anymore.

    The only security you can have with men like Putin, is to make taking something from you as expensive as possible.

    America’s puppets.

    That’s a bit of a oversimplification. The only puppet the US could accurately control right now, is a sock pulled onto one of Trumps hands.

    Any apprently positive outcome is accidental, and even then half of it is fixing problems they’re themselves causing.

    Trump himself is so empty, that anything he has to say that isn’t coming from his ego, is just him parroting the latest person to gift him an airplane.


  • The 28-point plan was a thinly veiled temporary ceasefire that would have left Ukraine de-armed and Russia free to re-arm and try again in a couple years.

    I think agreeing to it would have been like giving the bully your lunch money, then bringing twice the amount the next day thinking you’d then get to keep half.

    Reality is more complex than that, of course. Maybe that peace-deal would have been the timeline with less overrall misery. But that is unknowable, and won’t become clear even in hindsight.








  • It does rely on people putting relevant hashtags on their posts, but do you want to hear from someone who doesn’t do that?

    Why wouldn’t I?

    Hashtags are not even close to a reliable way to follow a subject. The fact that people can post without them, means a lot of people don’t. Not because they don’t have something interesting to say, but because they are posting it for their followers. The entire culture around how discussion should be conducted is different among users used to the twitter format.

    To post on lemmy, your post must be associated with a relevant community. Hence, posts go out to subscribers interested in the subject, rather than to the followers of the user. As such, posts live or die on the merit of their content. Not who posted it.





  • I also need to work out how to do automatic certificate renewal and if that’s even worth doing

    This is what certbot is for. For example, with nginx, you just set up the webserver to be reachable via your domain.

    You then install and run certbot, and it will aquire, install and configure, and then set itself up to auto-renew, a certificate. All with just one command.

    With Nextcloud specifically I also don’t like the fact that you can’t change the domain after the initial setup

    Yes you can?

    I’ve done it thrice now.

    Is this some limitation of the docker AIO stack?

    No sane NAS should work that way.

    Unless you have a giant raid array, where you need all the drives running at the same time on the same system, plugging in a single raid 1 member, for example, via usb to sata adapter, should let you access its contents just fine.

    Provided you’re on an OS that can read the file system. That can require some extra effort on windows.

    But yeah. Beware of the pre-built NASes. The vendor lock-in is real.
