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

it would be nice if people didn't use AI to write their articles.

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.

source for the Instagram ban? I can't find it on duckduckgo

EU banks are working on it

There's some sort of SEPA instant payments that come into effect this fall, I think, too.

About Active Directory in 2025: Red Hat has good LDAP support. Also, with modern web apps its not really necessary to use ldap for the local user. My past 4 jobs have not used AD login on Windows. Albeit they were all small to medium sized businesses.

All the large businesses I have worked for are also looking into Macs and Linux for their employees.

It's definitely a challenge to move from windows but it would be malpractice to not investigate it.

At a small scale you can take advantage of advanced irrigation, physical pest barriers, advanced fertilization, and even human or AI based individual plant diagnosis and weeding.

I believe only the controller needs cooling, not the dies.

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.

I think one important point is that we have nutrition labels mandated by regulation so that consumers can see how much sawdust is in the rice crispie they're buying.

The logical extreme would be no regulation at all and expecting consumers to scientifically test every rice crispie they buy to determine the amount of calories in it.

I'm definitely a big outlier, I was always pretty bad at foreign languages in school, and I was in a very english-heavy daily environment. I have social anxiety too so I just switch to English whenever I'm worried I'll say something wrong.

I studied Swedish in an international gymnasium and then barely passed Svenska som andra språk III in Komvux during the first 3 years I lived in Sweden and I would say I was at a B1 level after that. I went to English-language university and worked in IT afterwards so I wasn't speaking Swedish on a daily basis, just some jobs where we would have the occasional Swedish meeting or I would send some emails in Swedish. After 10 years though I got a Swedish-language government IT job and my Swedish has improved a ton in just a few months. Nowadays after 11 years I'm definitely a C1 or C2. I might trip up and sound foreign on some complex topics, and I definitely still have an American accent, but I basically speak like a native. But yeah, it is very rare to not be able to speak English with someone on the street, but of course, it is important to learn Swedish to make social environments, paperwork, and work easier.

I would say Swedish is probably the easiest foreign language to learn as an English speaker. The sounds are quite straightforward or can be approximated, the grammar is super simplified and nearly identical to English, and most of the vocabulary are cognates with English. A lot of words can be verbified or adjectified so the vocabulary comes quick. Both Swedish and English are germanic languages with tons of French loan words so the overlap is huge.

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.

EU exports to the US are as big as China. And that's not including Norway and Switzerland.

Also, the EU imports twice as much as China, the incredibly valuable US tech sector is heavily dependent on the EU.

The US is screwed if they keep pissing off Europe like this.
