  • Fully agree and I can tell you that our dependence to technologies under usa control WILL DECREASE. I already asked my Executive Vice President LAST SUMMER how and when we could move on from American products.

    But right now?

    We use Google workspace (email, drive, etc) and phone (Android) to communicate and works across our worldwide locations, we use AWS and Microsoft as IT providers, we use Win11 and 10 000+ win servers or databases or softwares provided by American companies, we have plants in USA too, a lot of equipments used in our products are provided by American companies and our products are sold 50/50 in € & $. And the list can continue for hours ( .com is under USA control too and all our customers services use it).

    So if suddenly, “Pumpkin(g) One” decide to call for a ban or a 200% increase of taxes or anything else as stupid because he don’t like our comment about his operation… WE ARE FUCKED! My company dies, my country economy is heavily fucked, I don’t have a job and lost 25+ years of my work because 30% of people across the ocean is not fucking able to detect fascists (or is ok with it).

    People are PISSED right now, but they can tell as this fucker love playing a mafia boss and be a bully.









  • For me, it was the parity system and the fact that i could mix different disk sizes and the vm + graphic card pass-through setup. Unraid helped me to start in this world.

    Years later, after gaining experience on all of that and investing in dedicated pcie card and disks, I’ve moved to truenas my data and containers.

    Still using unraid for the vm part. But i plan to migrate to truenas too at some point.






  • Last time USA attached Iraq, the instability generated in the region boosted ISIS and created terrorist attacks waves in Europe, killing hundreds (on top of all the dead people directly impacted in the country attacked of course).

    So cool, here we go again thanks to the US people who are not fucking able to use their brain when voting.

    In cliché world yeah… But in reality, not so much. 😀

    It been years… no… decades that smoking have nearly disappeared around me - including in the office.

    I work with hundreds of people and the amount of people smoking can fit one hand. 25 years ago, i needed more than 2 hands to count them. And in my family, nobody starting at my parents generation and younger smokes.

    Same story with wine during lunch. 25 years ago, it was several bottles each day at lunches.

    Today, no more wine bottle and the trend started since easily 15 years now. Only for big occasion and the quantity have decreased a lot.

    People drink more beers now. But far less than wine.
