• a few git repos (pushed and backup in the important stuff) with all docker compose, keys and such (the 5%)

Um, maybe I’m misunderstanding, but you’re storing keys in git repositories which are where…?

And remember, if you haven’t tested your backups then you don’t have backups!

The U.S. methods of choice have been wars, regime-change operations and unilateral coercive measures (economic sanctions).

Because of course, China and Russia would never

Yeah but the current build of libvegs has some conflicts with libfruit, so if you need to use both you have to build libvegs in a different directory and then simlink it in /lib.

pics or it didn’t happen

however, i know nothing about self hosting. My knowledge is absolutely zero […] I dont understand nothing

This is going to be a problem, unfortunately. You’ll need to define your use case first:

• How much music do you want to have access to? Hundreds, thousands, millions of files? How large is your collection?
• Do you have downloaded copies of all the music you want to listen to? Are they all in one place, well organized and tagged? If you just have downloads in the Spotify app, you won’t be able to use those files, you don’t actually own that music. You’ll need DRM-free audio files.
• Where and how do you want to be able to access them? Just from one device like your phone? Many devices? Is having access at home good enough, or do you want to be able to access your collection while you’re away from home?
• Will you be the only user?
• What kind of budget do you have to work with?

An old PC might be enough to act as a server, but there’s more involved and the answer to what you need depends on what exactly you want to do. You will not be able to build a personal version of Spotify with just an old PC, for instance.

Oh please, you can’t just decide that a term falls under a theory you disagree with and then disregard it out of hand.

The term “authoritarian” might be used in horseshoe theory but it is not defined by horseshoe theory. The term has its own meaning independent of horseshoe theory.

You’re just playing Calvinball to redefine and then exclude words you don’t like.

“US bad, mmm’kay”

See the funny thing is, I can point out that you’re kissing autocrat ass without having to lick any imperial Western boots or whatever.

All I have go do is recognize that you’re kissing autocrat ass. I don’t have to take any position beyond pointing out that you’re kissing autocrat ass.

You should do less kissing autocrat ass.

Which empire am I defending?

Ah yes, gotta lick those authoritarian dictator boots. So cool, so cool.

Never use a spreadsheet to do a database job.

A long wire is an antenna that will gather electromagnetic noise from the air and turn it into random signal on the line. Shorter wires will be less responsive and therefore less noisy, and you can also mitigate the problem by grounding everything properly. It’s also possible that with the wires in that parallel ribbon, they may induce crosstalk on each other. If you want to be really careful, you could replace that big ribbon cable with an STP cable and ground the shielding jacket.

Also, a noisy/low quality power input to the Pi will produce noise in its circuits and ultimately the output. If you can, supply the power from something better than a wall wart.

You know, it’s really telling that my comment was erased with no notification or warning or justification - a comment which contained only factual information with references and no offensive language of any kind.

The fact that this was done summarily and without discussion demonstrates exactly what this community is, and who its moderators are.

Explicitly: this is a manufactured echo chamber that suppresses voices which disagree with the intended narrative, enforced by people with a political agenda. Trust nothing that you read here.

Even if the military targets killed by these devices are not considered war crimes, there were several civilians killed and those deaths should be considered war crimes.

The problem with using a weapon like this is that you can’t possibly know who is nearby at the detonation time. To me this seems similar to butterfly mines which have been internationally banned for 2 major reasons:

• they can end up outside the military operation area - they’re light enough that they can be blown off-course while falling, and will float downstream if they land in water
• children pick them up because they look like plastic toys

It seems like the same logic should apply - this weapon is not discriminating enough and is therefore not a legitimate military option.

Someone else has mentioned M-Disc and I want to second that. The benefit of using a storage format like this is that the actual storage media is designed to last a long time, and it is separate from the drive mechanism. This is a very important feature - the data is safe from mechanical, electrical and electronic failure because the storage is independent of the drive. If your drive dies, you can replace it with no risk to the data. Every serious form of archival data storage is the same - the storage media is separate from the reading device.

An M-Disc drive is required to write data, but any DVD or BD drive can read the data. It should be possible to acquire a replacement DVD drive to recover the data from secondary markets (eBay) for a very long time if necessary, even after they’re no longer manufactured.

This is probably relevant:

Japan says China airspace incursion ‘serious violation of our sovereignty’

Japan wouldn’t be interested in an increased US military presence if they weren’t feeling threatened by their aggressive neighbor.

Yes, it’s the link in my comment above.

Wait until you learn how molecular bonds work…

PenDriveLinux or rufus or balena etcher (frequently just referred to as “etcher”) or just dd.

The times doesn’t pay you royalties for your book sales, and it doesn’t cost you anything.

Of course they don’t pay, but getting on the list is fantastic advertising for your book and that pays.

They also detect if someone is messing with the system and display a dagger symbol if you are found to inflate your numbers.

Jack Rhysider’s research on this indicates otherwise.
