Yes but it could be argued that that militarism is a form of imperialism.

Not sure if a puppet is meaningfully less imperialist than a protectorate.

Military operations against Isis isn’t imperialism, and it is a long shot away from other presodents’ foreign policies.

The US’s foreign policy under Obama and Clinton was anti-imperalist.

NTsync is not the same as Fsync, it allows for kernel acceleration of NT sync primitives, increasing speed over current wine/Proton builds.

American imperialism mostly halted under Clinton and Obama. The cold war was over and they weren’t jingoistic like Bush or Trump.

From the text:

Meanwhile, the U.S. and allies struggle to counter China’s influence.

What allies? There are some regional actors in Asia opposed to the PRC’s imperialism, but the list of potential allies has gone down by a lot with Trump’s actions.

What allies? Not sure what motivation Europeans have to defend Taiwan when we’re already dying in a war against Russia with no help from the US.

Taiwan is a sovereign, democratic nation, but the PRC is more of an ally to the EU than Trump’s America right now.

All mail is typically encrypted in transit with smtps, and Proton mail is encrypted at rest. But that’s true, it’s not e2ee, so I guess they could just scrape it all as it comes in, if they’re not doing so already.

Both companies are based in Europe though so I figure US spying laws don’t apply?

mailbox.org isn’t encrypted like Proton mail is. (Of course, Proton could steal your decryption password, but still)

Unraid is very unstable and hard to repair when it breaks

I’ve met sysadmins who say that unironically 😅

Yup, same here. being able to skip all the networking and DNS hassle and have it automated for you is so nice.

Having databases fully managed with cnpg is AMAZING

I just have renovate set to auto update my argocd, so everything just runs itself with zero issues. Only the occasional stateful container that has breaking changes in a minor version.

If something OOMs or crashes, it all just self heals, I never need to worry about it. I don’t have any HPAs (nor cluster scaling obv), though I do have some HA stuff set up just to reduce restart times and help keep the databases happy.

The main issue with Kubernetes is that a lot of self-hosted software makes bad design decisions that actively make kubernetes harder, eg sqlite instead of postgres and secrets stored in large config files. The other big issue is that documentation only supports docker compose and not kubernetes 90% of the time so you have to know how to write yaml and read documentation.

Moving my hass from a statefulset to kubevirt sounds tempting. Did you have better reliability/ergonomics? I have been looking into moving my Hass automation to NodeRed, so that I can GitOps it all, since NodeRed supports git syncing.

Docker got popular because of dockerfiles. It really sucks at service management though which is why people run Kubernetes in production, not Docker.

Kubernetes is designed to improve reliability

if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I’ve worked plenty of private sector jobs where they use COBOL somewhere in the company

Psycho Mantis?

They absolutely should be allowed to. It is an American basd and the rights of the prisoners there must be upheld and monitored.

You should use synapse. Dendrite is not intended for self-hosted homeservers. You will have an easier time with calling/rtc with synapse as well.

Here is a good example of how to set up a home server, which was shown off by the devs at fosdem last weekend:

that is not sound logic

It’s not factual reporting when one side refuses to interact with the truth

NixOS is the better source-based distro. Everything can compile from source, but you can also use the binary cache if you don’t want to.
