Why should I use a piece of software that’s controlled by a corporate entity in Russia?

I got a used unit for much cheaper from the place I previously worked at. If I had to spend 5K on one, I probably wouldn’t use it either.

I use LTO magnetic tape for archiving data, but unfortunately the tape drives are VERY expensive. The tape itself is relatively cheap though (this is a 5-pack at 12TB uncompressed, 30TB compressed per cardridge, totaling at 60TB uncompressed, 150TB compressed. This is a lot cheaper than hard drives, and lasts for much longer), has large storage capacity and 30+ years of shelf life. Yes, I know, LTO 9 has come out, but I won’t be upgrading, because LTO 8 works just fine for me, and is much cheaper. The drives are backwards compatible by one generation though, e.g. you can use LTO 8 tape in an LTO 9 drive.

I run my Pi-Hole on a dedicated Raspberry Pi. I have another Pi that runs my SSH tarpit. These are the only 2 things I keep on separate devices, the rest is containerized on my main server.

You can accomplish the same with dnscrypt-proxy and Orbital Sync for Pi-Hole. You can also run a recursive DNS server using Unbound.

Arch is pretty good, but it’s fairly easy to break it, if you don’t know what you’re doing. For gamers I recommend Bazzite. It’s an image-based fork of Fedora Atomic (Universal Blue). You can also try other ublue-based distros such as Aurora or Bluefin. Or Fedora Atomic flavors like Silverblue and Kinoite. In fact, you can easily switch between them without reinstalling your system. All it takes is one command, and ostree will do the magic.

How is this news to anyone?

I’ve never read such dumb bullshit in my life… until I found your comments…

Smartest lemmy.ml user

You didn’t quote anything

Yeah keep dreaming about the communist utopia that will definitely happen… somewhere… at some point… …maybe…?

Do we know of anyone who Trump might be worried about upsetting if he said he wanted Ukraine to win?

Yes, I think there’s this one man, Trumps big idol, I think his name was Vladimir the war criminal Putin.

lol

Of course, he wants Russia to win, duh

I agree. I would love to entirely block them, but as long as Lemmy is developed and controlled by tankies, this won’t happen. I’m convinced that they made the user-facing instance block feature so shitty on purpose, so people can’t entirely block their tankie instances on a user level. Because they know that they are annoying as fuck, and half the Fediverse would block them immediately.

They don’t have any plans to enforce it violently though, while China is planning for a “cross-strait unification” (basically just invading Taiwan).

I agree even more

I agree, that’s why China should drop all territorial claims for Taiwan

Absolutely

The hexbear tankies will get upset at this comment 😂
