I think having a progress bar for project 2025 is a bit disingenuous. There has a been a ton of damage to NIH, but that site says nothing has happened to NIH yet.

The 15% tariff is probably a positive thing. It’s motivation for European companies to find customers outside of the US and eventually decouple, without the shock of a total embargo.

until AI replaces the scientists

Biden was the one who secured the ceasefire in Gaza

that’s how science works, if you want to change the discourse, then prove them wrong

I would probably remove python 2 support, it was end of life when the project was started.

I dont think Immich supports turning a normal account into an sso account, though it may be possible with manual database editing.

Kubernetes is great for single nodes! It definitely is more advanced than docker compose, but it’s actually not hard at all if you read through the documentation. It definitely makes running containers easier in the long run.

Here is my git repo for my big Kubernetes cluster at home: https://codeberg.org/jlh/h5b/src/branch/main/argo/custom_applications

It started out as just a NFS server and a Kubernetes server running on Proxmox in 2021.

It’s not going to make a meaningful difference in your threat model and it will cause a lot of hassle for extra configuration and broken docker images, so I wouldn’t bother.

There is some nice tooling for transparent user name spaces coming down the pipeline in Kubernetes which will be a nice 0-effort security upgrade, but if you don’t have the tooling, I would say it’s not worth it.

SSDs are getting crazy cheap.

If you need 10tb of storage, you could get 2x used 10tb hdds in raid 1 for $200, but 6x used 2tb nvme in raid 5 is only $600 and 100x faster. Both take up the same amount of space.

SMR is designed for enterprise raid that is SMR-aware.

I’m not aware of any open-source zoned storage raid but I think Ceph is planning to add support next month.

Hetzner Storage box is $20/month for 10tb.

The moving parts could disturb MIMO

Almost as if they only believe in a free market when it benefits them

It is insane that Sweden has managed to export this problem to the US

They literally campaigned on a slogan saying that doubling the prison time would cut crime in half. Insanity.

There are probably some with sand and other hard minerals, I think Dove had some soaps with aluminum oxide in it?

Being smug over the meanings of words that aren’t ever actually used in a consistent way is even more American.

Um actually, Strawberries are not a berry, it’s a Gameboy, not a Nintendo, and I lick toads. Can you go to the bathroom?

The only thing similar that I have experienced in Europe is the protected food name law, e.g. Champagne and Parmesan, but that’s an EU cultural protectionism law that the US doesn’t actually follow.

Then you’d probably swing your sword around and get it stuck in the wall and die. Rapiers and polearms are probably better in tight spaces against unarmored opponents. Polearms are just always better in general if you don’t have sword training.

It’s like comparing a shotgun to a AR-15 pistol. Sure, the pistol is more compact, has more power, and will put more rounds downrange, but they’re all going to be in the ceiling if you haven’t trained with it. The shotgun will be more effective.
