neoromantique··on Laptops with Stickers
if literally everyone around you is saying that you are wrong (Including your friends, even), then maybe it is time for some soul searching.

Even the most bonkers conspiracy theorists out there manage to find an audience.

>I choose to ignore the political issues in my country (the UK) as well. I can't do anything to solve the problems in the country.

Which ironically is the main reason why these things continue to go unchecked.

Oddly enough I have a pretty good guess of your political affiliations from these comments.

Hi! I find your opinion tasteless and kitschy.

You apply broken logic here and show your biases loud and clear.

Should you decide to be consistent with your logic, then we quickly arrive at human race also being bad and we can end this circus.

There is nothing to whitewash about wars and war crimes, they happen in every war, and are inexcusable in every war, no matter the side.

For every war crime from Jewish side you can always point to a similar one from Arab side, this finger pointing is not useful for anything but spurring more hate and igniting the conflict over and over.

He also later was a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

The targeting the British happened primarily during the holocaust when British were limiting Jewish migration (which has directly resulted in many many deaths).

The history is complex and it is very easy to find reasons to dismiss people who lived through very difficult times and had to make very difficult choices.

You don't seem to have a problem judging entirety of Israeli population by a fringe minority (and even that fringe minority is being misrepresented).

Definitely. Not even talking about likes of Russia or China where said person would simply disappear.

They were forced to disband, lay down their arms and merge into pre-existing IDF, specifically because the methods are not acceptable, some of them declined and had to be disbanded by force.

Weird how Sudan doesn't, totally not because of the Jews not being involved, totally.
neoromantique··on EuroLLM: LLM made in Europe built to support all 24 official EU languages
What a weird comment.

llama-3.1-70b-versatile is pretty good at translating though

Hi! EU Resident here, if anything, I'd want EU protections to apply even more to US companies than they do now.

I don't want to exchange my freedoms for your shareholder value, thank you.

>Also - Will data center water usage remain "negligible" if AI succeeds at wide adoption and scales to 100x current deployment?

Yes.

neoromantique··on Asahi Linux Still Working on Apple M3 Support, M1n1 Bootloader Going Rust
I don't know, I dislike DHH and actively debated with him on many occasions, but I wouldn't put him on the same level as Lunduke.
neoromantique··on Asahi Linux Still Working on Apple M3 Support, M1n1 Bootloader Going Rust
hyprland? That's ridiculous.

I would understand if it was Lunduke or XLibre folk, but that's a complete non-issue.

neoromantique··on Apple M5 chip
How nice of Apple to take a huge UX/PR/User Satisfaction hit just to send a message.
neoromantique··on Why Self-Host?
I don't mean proper L2 bridging, I do it with wireguard, as I am behind CGNAT at home.

It's mostly to unify VLANs and simplify management (i.e everything is routed through my main router, rather than loose tunnels on servers/vm's)

neoromantique··on Why Self-Host?
That's essentially what I do (with a little extra step of having a dedicated server in Hetzner peered with my homelab with wireguard to use as internet facing proxy + offsite backup server).

Ah, also docker is managed with komo.do, but otherwise it is simple GUI over docker-compose

neoromantique··on Why Self-Host?
The point to an extent is to make it have friction.

If you don't care enough to figure it out, then you don't care enough to make it secure and that leads to very very bad time in modern largely internet-centric world.

neoromantique··on Why Self-Host?
>I’d even go as far as to say that the time/cost required to say learn the quirks of Docker and containers and layering builds is higher than what is needed to learn how to administer a website on a Debian server.

But that is irrelevant as Docker brings more to the table that a simple Debian server cannot by design. One could argue that lxd is sufficient for these, but that is even more hassle than Docker.

neoromantique··on Why Self-Host?
>No idea why self-hosted software isn't `apt-get install` and forget. Just like Limewire. But that's the reason no one self-hosts.

Security.

As an avid self-hoster with a rack next to my desk, I shudder as I read your comment, unfortunately.

neoromantique··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
1) Not a genocide

2) If forces were reversed, it would be one for sure.

Anyhow, war and terror is on the rise in Europe right now, cue immediate swing to far right in the polls, so good luck!

neoromantique··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
Now do Arab polls.

Seriously, you can't apply western standards to middle eastern coumtry, even more so, single out one ME country to apply them to.

neoromantique··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
Hamas is dire, hencw the increased media attention lately, hopefully it'll all end soon, regular people have suffered enough
neoromantique··on How Israeli actions caused famine in Gaza, visualized
Because it took releasing thousands of terrorists to return one jew from Gaza. If he were to survive long enough for something to be released that is.

I have no words that you think it is easier to scan every single conversation online, than to enforce proper border/customs checks for freight.
