I also am thinking about a backup solution. Right now, I really have none except a small subset of my data which I backup to a (dutch) cloud provider. But I really would like some backups of my proxmox vm's and ct's and a more extensive backup of my data. Preferably (semi) local.

I had to sell the old qnap for some budget on this build so I can't use that any more.

Maybe buy a small cheap (second hand?) synology or something and use that? Any thoughts?

So today could be the day that I do the deed and install #FreeBSD onto my #AMD #ThinkPad P14s ?
I'm fully aware that the WiFi will be slower than normal until the excellent devs bring the ax200 drivers up to par. I'm also aware the running DRM stuff will be an issue but as I don't watch Netflix etc on my laptop it becomes a non issue. So I'm going to think carefully about this before I commit to removing #Linux in favour of a #BSD .
If I do decide to go for it, it'll be this afternoons little project to stress me out.
So you have a few hours in which to tell me about your experiences of switching from Linux to FreeBSD. Or maybe just tell me about some handy tips or even reasons why you'd think I'd regret the move ?
I mean I'm already running a FreeBSD server at home with jails so have some experience.

@duncan_bayne @ozjonty Any feedback on other desktops that are not i3 that new users might gravitate to?


According to reports on the BBC news, the Spanish are complaining that they didn't get enough warning about the potential effects of global warming...

This is the new reality, brought to you by Shell, Exon, Repsol, Ford, SEAT, VW, and etc...

Is anyone listening yet?

Don't blame the weather forecasters, blame those who caused the climate crisis!

in reply to F-Droid

Would it be possible for F-Droid app to automatically inform users when the signing key changes (like when reproducible build arrives), so they know to reinstall? After all, F-Droid knows that the key change is intended.

this would be a good time to remind folx on Bluesky that Jack Dorsey is an RFK backer unherd.com/newsroom/jack-dorse…

in reply to Ross Mounce

@rmounce I think Dorsey is no longer involved in Bluesky, but the point stands given they just got a huge investment from a Blockchain company. No way that can go wrong, right?

I still remember buying @pixelmator for #MacOSX and when it arrived to our Apple Store. IIRC, we’d either get free copies direct from the manufacturer or a discount code so we can use it and be able to speak about it to customers from first-hand experience. Anyway, here’s my boxed copy of OG #Pixelmator. 💻🤓💿

The election in Georgia is tight. Meet 5 groups of voters who will shape the outcome


In a state decided recently by tiny margins, subtle shifts among any demographic can matter. These five groups could be key in determining who wins Georgia — and possibly the presidency.

Hanno Hauenstein on X summarised about a coming German parliamentary resolution titled «Never again is now: Protecting, preserving and strengthening Jewish life in Germany»


“Germany is pushing a parliamentary resolution linking residency guarantees, asylum and public funding for arts and science to a loyalty oath to a state currently facing genocide charges at the International Court of Justice. This deserves international attention.”

What does the far right look like in the UK?

Well, one clear answer is it takes the form of Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley to his mum) & his increasing hold over the far right via social media.

he's a dangerous thug but prison (while a necessary response) looks unlikely to have any real negative effect on his public profile or actions.

So, in a democracy, what can you do about people like this?

@hopenothate This has just passed its centenary:

“Credulity is a greater evil in the present day than it ever was before, because, owing to the growth of education, it is much easier than it used to be to spread misinformation, and, owing to democracy, the spread of misinformation is more important than in former times to the holders of power.”

although I think he’d have a few new tart comments about propaganda and media amplification.

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May

The gap between how we treat Islamist hate preachers and white nationalists is very revealing - we don't even call them hate preachers, for example. Of course, we must hold them accountable to the law regardless of any impact on public perception, but the battle over opinion is fought with narratives and the reason we're here is the narrative that the Other is the cause of people's problems, and so we must resolutely dispel it.

‘He could go to jail’: for Donald #Trump, election day is also judgment day - theguardian.com/us-news/2024/n… this is what the US election is really about: trump trying to stay out of prison
in reply to Glyn Moody

I think he'll flee the country before he goes to jail. Once the courts freeze his assets, he'll be on a private jet to some country where he's squirreled away enough assets to live. Or he'll stick around to the last minute and as the judge pronounces him guilty and sentences him, he'll mutter "Execute order 66" and all hell will break loose among the #MAGAIdiots
