I like how they can’t even name China as making more nukes, just “enhanced capabilities” because it’s well known that China doesn’t mass produce nukes just like every other nuclear power like UK, France, India. Pakistan, etc.

Ubuntu and Docker.

Really? Netplan alone disqualifies Ubuntu as a “friendly stable starter distro”, and I can guarantee you that your guide will somehow become outdated with a single new Ubuntu release, or some poor soul who accidentally selected an LTS release.

Docker doesn’t matter as much, but there’s a reason beyond just FOSS licensing why podman exists.

Would highly recommend Debian instead.

I started on Ubuntu similar to this many years ago and both the server and desktop experience was not fun at all.

Or some kind of National Instituion of Standards and Technology

Both. WIndows 8 added a ton of unnecessary operations, part in due to the horrendous new PWA system they made to replace all the proven software.

NTFS meanwhile functionally reflects FAT32. It has no proper block allocation algorithm, so files get fragmented and placed in poor locations all over the physical disk. Tools like defraggler became super popular because they provided serious and visible IO gains from defragging your drives.

Compare that to ext4 which only begins to fragment once you hit something like 95%+ capacity.

Pakistan Air Force after their J-10C “sales demo”:

The funny thing is even though it has been done, there’s not even that much of an incentive to do it because Windows on consumer side has so little defense that most attackers opt for lazy premade viruses sold on the darkweb, and Windows on enterprise side is so insanely insecure that the only groups that make high end rootkit level software are usually government backed APTs.

Microsoft also very conveniently avoided making a new filesystem from old ass NTFS because SSDs started popping up around the time Window’s IO operations were clogging every old machine with HDDs.

I remember upgrading from 7 to 8 and the disk IO just sat at a solid 100% at idle lol.

HEVC support is enabled for Firefox 134

Cool for anyone not using AV1 which I assume is a big chunk of the userbase because not everyone has good AV1 hardware acceleration lol

Can’t tell if he’s joking considering all of his videos as a former MSFT engineer.

Then again, he is a former MSFT engineer lol.

Because GNOME is the default, which any new user is likely to pick and then gain the impression that the desktop experience on Linux is subpar (more likely for former windows users imo).

This is basically what happend to me and I missed out on using Linux for several years because I thought it wasn’t ready, when it turns out stuff like Compiz already figured out excellent UX design more than a decade ago.

Nice to see Fedora Workstation go down and Fedora KDE go up.

Stop trying to use GNOME lol

“No”

– everyone using compose to orchestrate software deployments

I kinda hate to agree with the other suggestions here, but entry level and even dedicated NAS products are pretty expensive for providing something you can very easily DIY for significantly cheaper even with the latest hardware.

Was in a similar boat and just ended up taking an old HP desktop and added some cheap HDDs. I ended up playing around with proper Fedora for some LVM cache tricks and running some other services, but the common suggestion for this is SnapRAID and Nextcloud.

GNOME alone is like 60% of the reason why stock Ubuntu and all of its derivatives suck. It’s like a mashup of ChromeOS and MacOS, two of the most god awful UX designs this past decade.

Compiz by itself kicks GNOME out of the water, despite it being a now legacy compositor from 2007.

Most annoyingly, even RPM distros like Fedora offer it as default, despite having a fully supported KDE option right there, along with any other DE that you might want like XFCE, LXQt, Cinnamon, MATE, etc.

Japan actually has the technology and know-how to rapidly spin up a nuclear weapons program because they were already doing it before signing up on their non-nuclear policies with the US.

The real question is which country is going to be the first to actually jump ship. I’m fairly certain like 95% of the UN is just going to wait out Trump’s term and hope the next president will undo all his insane plans, because no one wants to lose longstanding ties with the US, even as the rug pull of 70+ years of American influence going under gets closer to reality.

I’ve yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet

Brrrrrrrrrrrrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzraaaaaaaaaarahahahahahaugh

There’s more *arr tools that aren’t aggregator automation tools than there are aggregator automation tools.

Also It was only funny when using an existing words like "sonar, “radar”, “lidar”. Jellyseerr is dumb, even Jackett was pushing it.

I guess it makes it somewhat easier to associate them as part of a group of software, but now we have stuff like Homarr that is entirely unrelated, but still a useful tool.

Proxmox or even just lazy old KVM GUI for anything that needs to be deployed manually in a VM (Home Assistant, WIndows VM, etc.). Otherwise you can even just spin up whatever manual service you want to run on an LXC container or bare metal host with the correct security settings with systemd and selinux if you want to be extra careful.

Docker/Podman (the superior one lol) is just an automated deployment system in container form (like Ansible). It great for automated deployment without having to manually configure the installation process and worry about upgrades, changes, etc. You can even easily create your own images on the fly just for the purpose of having it run a single service inside a container.

Proxmox equivalent would be like using Terraform/OpenTofu to deploy VMs to do the same thing. Its possible, but just not that common because of the reduced overhead with containers, and well supported deployment images with docker/podman specifically.

Generally speaking, I’ve seen proxmox used more in lab environments were you want to emulate something like a complete network of machines whereas docker/podman has become the defacto server deployment platform.

You’re just much more likely to find software with a published docker container and default docker compose script than the same thing in Terraform or even K8s/K3s.

I’m just gonna chalk it up to the Samsung keyboard being complete garbage lol, I was joking about the corporate beef.

As for Hyundai, yeah it sounds sketchy because it’s “I heard from someone” which may as well just be made up, but I didn’t add any details because it gets a little too close to disclosing personal info.

But tbf this is lemmy and I would have questioned the same thing, so here goes:

I live <2 hours away from one of Hyundai’s Georgia plants and personally know someone who works for Hyundai at raided plant who gave all the details of what he knows (along with some pictures of helicopters during the raid lol).

According to him, they primarily targeted the LG portion of the facility, which is across the road from the Hyundai section. They had everyone come outside for the lineup and verification of ID, before they took whoever they wanted away. In his own words, it was a “massive operation and totally overkill for whatever they discovered.”

A group of us were discussing the implications, because we always assumed the large Korean immigrant population in our area was primarily here on legal work visas (they are, 500 is nothing compared to the current population). We just didn’t expect Hyundai/LG to be skirting around for cheap foreign labor via visit visas.*

He doesn’t know how DHS/ICE figured them out or how Hyundai was documenting this process, but he did hear people talk about the visit visa process long before this, meaning it wasn’t some huge secret (DHS may already have been aware of this a long time ago). There are other similar visa exploit tricks several companies use that DHS has recently been trying to shutdown or change (stuff like multiple applications for a visa for only one person to increase draw rate).

Anyways, the general concenus was that even though the visit visa was providing jobs, it was technically exploit labor since workers would not have been receiving any US employment benefits or equivalent salary. Hyundai is primarily the one at fault here, but they really didn’t need to do a massive raid for this. They could have just as easily sent a single squad to show up and do ID checks, or even just knock on home addresses of everyone they identified on a non work visa.

Obviously no one wants to give ICE any more ammo for their existence, but I think they’ve been pocketing this and waited for a while so they can get all the clout with some big headlines after a couple of months of desperately detaining anyone even remotely foreign.

You can find details about both the visit visas and LG plant corroborated in the news. Ex: https://apnews.com/article/south-korea-us-georgia-raid-hyundai-24d990562f5ac20e7d3e983a77a4f7ff

As a result, South Korean companies have been relying on short-term visitor visas or the Electronic System for Travel Authorization to send the workers they need to launch manufacturing facilities or handle other setup tasks.

*fwiw it does seem more like they are dancing around the increasingly stricter visa requirements to get work done, and not just some cheap labor exploit, especially considering the amount of immigrants here on valid work visas for all the other jobs.

That would imply removing Netanyahu would end the genocide (it won’t).

If anything, he’s actually dragging it out as his contemporaries are even more hardline insane and would justify sacrificing relations with the US to go full gas chambers execution.

He didn’t stay in power by being wildly unpopular. He’s just another drop in the barrel of similar nation leaders like India’s Modi or Russia’s putin.

All three are very well supported publicly and privately, despite what some media outlets may want you to believe.
