That would only work if I’m the only one using my hosted stuff, but can’t really expect non tech ppl to deal with stuff like that.

They already struggle with the little 2fa they have to use. Introducing yet another system is too much to ask.

Still feels like I’m doing too little, but kinda hate 2fa.

And I kinda don’t want to know if complex passwords and low retries before an account gets locked out are enough.

Only if you care about security, which you should ofc.

I’m one of the trans kids adults, I’d be fucked anyways. Just wanted to illustrate that being invaded, if you welcome it or not, is usually a pretty rough affair.

War is brutal, I don’t know if I would be willing to suffer through one, just for stuff to be slightly better afterwards, maybe. Provided I had the choice in the first place ofc.

I also don’t want to build gallows, it doesn’t matter who hangs really. But if someone else is building gallows to hang me from, I won’t be watching idly.

I’ll at least have to try to resist, if I wouldn’t I’d might as well hang myself now, or at least when the struggle gets to much to bear.

Yeah but any invasion probably pushes half of the country over the edge before the war would be over.

I wouldn’t wanna risk death and destruction for a mere potential 4" further from the edge.

The vast majority of Chinese citizens believe the government represents their interests

I don’t think that the belief of being represented is a good metric for democracy or actual representation.

It might be that the Chinese government is doing pretty good in that regard, but the only thing that metric is actually saying is that people are not disillusioned. Wether that’s because there is no illusion in the first place or the government is just good at selling itself can’t be seen from that data. Although most likely it’s a mixed bag, as per usual in life.

Is adb pull an option to get data off the phone?

I couldn’t live like that o.O last month’s download alone was 500GB.

With me using my desktop remotely all the time and all the other self hosted stuff I’ve exceeded 2TB of upload…

Androids storage doesn’t show up as mass storage since quite a while ago. Instead it uses MTP which in my experience is slower and way less reliable.

Maybe that’s also part of the reason?

Yeah, but that also means that China isn’t super trustworthy.

No one is super trustworthy if they’re a giant compared to you. I really like the idea of the EU and being a citizen has been a net positive for sure, but its systems are way too easy to abuse.

Same for me lol, ive been thinking about putting jellyfin behind a VPN again, since I’m the only one using it, and usually just at home.

The only service that some ppl actually use is nextcloud.

I once did a whole bunch of research looking into turning my old gaming laptop into a Nas/Homeserver.

And buying the supporting hardware to get more than the three SATA ports it had (mcpie adapter and SATA card and a power supply) would have been more jank and expensive than buying a used desktop in a big case and using that instead.

I’d say it does make sense, the only thing I lost is power efficiency, but I’m trying to not think too hard about that :D

With the right software most consumer hardware can be a decent server, although not having ECC ram kinda sucks. Usually most motherboards have enough SATA ports for a few drives and if not, just add a PCIE card that does.

even unzipped folders

That sounds super interesting, does it keep the folder structure intact? Because having to zip a folder to be able to download a folder with its structure intact is super annoying.

Edit: Oh it’s just for uploading, still very cool though.

A unit of measurement that only makes sense in the context of domestic electricity meters. Supposedly to make it easier for consumers.

Or 3,6 Kilojoule.

I’d write it down / take photos just in case… But also remember being able to swap SATA cables without anything breaking. It’s been a while since I had to fiddle with the hardware though, so that memory isn’t super reliable.

Moving is kinda stressful though, but if you can manage that downsizing would probably be the right call.

So he doesn’t get to sit? Or did he take his chair with him?
