ad 1: You already know what would happen to Ukrainian spies in Russia. They can thank their lucky stars for still being alive and held in a country with actual morals. ad 2: You already know what would’ve happened to pro-Ukrainian parties in Russia long before 2014. ad 3: All the while Putler is trying to take his country back to that “romantic” era. Seems to me like what’s good for Putler can’t possibly be good for his sworn enemies. ad 4: That’s how fucking martial law works.
Seriously what do you expect national policy to look like when you’re being invaded? Just let others spy on you, meddle with your national politics in parliament, weaken your resolve? When war starts shit gets fucking real really fucking quick. Putler has declared Ukrainians sub-humans, inferior to the “actual Russian/Slav”, he is abducting their children. This is genocide and it’s just mindboggling how people in actual free countries manage to twist the narrative into such directions like “Ukraine should just sue for a ceasefire”.
Especially you with your Black-Red-and-Gold profile picture should know how well suing for peace worked with Hitler. Dictators just take what they can until they are dictators no more. Putin will take whatever he possibly can for as long as there is still a breath left in his body. He will rebuild his military, no matter how long it takes, he will model Russia’s economy after North Korea’s and you already know he absolutely will be back for more of the same.
Is that how LateStageCapitalism on Lemmy operates? I haven’t seen low effort rhetorics like that score points in 14 years of Reddit (or in 27 years of having graduated from Kindergarten). Like … is the world so black and white that being critical of capitalism means that anyone critical of a post-Soviet dictator must have no brain? So many comments here getting massively downvoted for merely sounding pro-Ukraine. I legitimately don’t understand what this community here represents and at this point I’m too afraid to ask (except I guess I did anyways).
I used to (over a span of about 4 years now) just rely on a RaidZ2 (ZFS) pool (faulted drive replacements never gave any issues) but I recently did an expansion of the array plus OS reinstall and only now am I starting to incorporate Docker containers into my workflows. The live data is in ~ and nightly rsynced onto the new larger RaidZ2 pool but there is also data on that pool which I’ve thus far never stored anywhere else.
So my answer to the question would be an off-site unraid install which is still in the works. This really will only be that. A catastophe insurance. I probably won’t even rely on parity drives there in order to maximize space since I already have double parity on ZFS.
As far as reinstallation goes, I don’t feel like restoring ~ and running docker compose for all the services again would be too much of a hassle.
I recently “upgraded” one of my raspberrys SD cards to an industrial grade one. Seems to me like those are a lot slower but for that particular use case it doesnt matter to me. What matters is that the card doesn’t die. It runs noticeably cooler when lots of data is being written to it so I feel like I must be onto something there.
If Mullvad is not available as a Snap or Flatpak (2 ways of installing self-sufficient auto-updateable packages without dependencies on other packages) then youre probably stuck with either adding this 3rd party repository (something which isn’t always recommendable either) which gives you automatic updates or using a .deb installation file like you would probably prefer and then manually retrieving updates when needed.
Anyways, others have told you as much already anyways. What I’d like to add is that it is definitely worth it to learn to work the terminal. I get that there are many people looking for an alternative to Windows or just an open approach to computing in general without looking for added complexity. Who wants complexity right? Whether such an experience exists in the Linux world is probably subjective. Ubuntu has definitely been a safe bet for the flattest learning curve required since its inception in 2004. But its still a niche thing that won’t experience user-friendly support from everyone (ie Mullvad).
So one could conclude that in order to truly be “free” (as in Free Software freedom) one needs to claim that freedom. You will fuck things up. You will learn from your mistakes. You will regroup and you will grow as a user and dare I say PC-curious person.
This. Also unless you have raw BluRay sources recompressing already compressed video isn’t exactly a great idea either way. The space savings will never be worth the loss in visual quality. If you were to retain the quality the space used would probably be similar even with a more efficient / newer codec.
Serious question: How could ANY economy possibly grow when it is spending so much on something that only means death and destruction? The P in GDP stands for something that’s produced. Currently the main product of Russia is annihilation, something that should be pretty hard to sell at a profit. (And the rest would probably mostly be cheap oil and natural gas for those who still trade with Russia.)
By the logic of that graphic (and please bear with me here): If Russia wasn’t currently killing its (former) UA brothers it would be growing even more because all that bloodmoney could be spent on productive things. No? Am I missing something here? Point being that if that was the case, that growth could have been achieved before 2022 and 2014 when there were no external conflicts.
