Beautiful and quite cheap for what we seem to be getting ! Too bad there’s no thumb cluster.

Si le texte récemment adopté par l’Assemblée nationale prévoit bien une clause de conscience, qui permettra aux médecins de refuser de participer à un suicide assisté ou à une euthanasie, rien n’est en effet prévu pour ceux, au contraire, qui accepteraient. Comment seront-ils rémunérés ? Bénéficieront-ils d’un soutien psychologique spécifique ? Y aura-t-il une limite au nombre de patients qu’un même médecin pourra aider à mourir ? Dans les pays qui ont autorisé l’euthanasie, comme la Belgique ou le Canada, certains médecins s’en sont tristement fait une spécialité et déclarent fièrement avoir tué plusieurs centaines de leurs patients.

Même si l’auteur de l’article voit l’ironie il est quand même tout ému qu’on puisse en faire sur le sujet et le choix de “tristement fait une spécialité” m’intrigue.

Il y a tout un tas de raisons pour lesquelles on peut avoir envie de mourir mais pouvoir être rassuré et accompagné dans sa démarche est vraiment loin d’être “triste”. Là où l’on peut débattre de la capacité de quelqu’un à disposer de sa vie pour des raisons psychologiques, l’accompagnement permettra d’éviter des suicides boucheries et des souffrances tues de la vieillesse et des maladies incurables.

It’s not like an aircraft carrier is hard to detect anyways. And I doubt you can register Strava activities in a submarine.

Also also, it’s not because there hasn’t been a 2nd snowden that there aren’t modern Pegasus.

Chaque fois que le débat de la dangerosité des trottinettes est mentionné j’ai une pensée émue pour ce que le skateboard a générée comme houlette du temps où c’était transgressif.

Ce sont toujours des problématiques similaires, émergeront des standards et de l’infrastructure et le débat se déplacera ailleurs.

Si on doit mettre ses neurones quelque part c’est dans la généralisation d’alternatives non jetables. Contrairement aux vélos mécaniques (et certains vélos électriques) je ne connais pas beaucoup de trotinettes électriques disposant de plateformes standardisées et hautement réparables. Maintenant c’est peut être moi qui câble, mais un trottilib où tu achètes à prix réduit un made in France standardisé pourquoi pas ?

Why is OP mentioning Rima Hassan though? French left has been criticizing every international interference illegal in regards to NATO directives.

You might be the one having trouble with numbers, the difference isn’t counted by orders of magnitude, I’m not gonna show my shitty napkin math but I suggest you rather do yours counting excess mortality per capita per year, I found something along the lines of 5x, and with current trends they’re gonna catch them fast.

This is very impressive without war economy nor gener drafting, thanks to the US and EU.

Haven’t tried it yet but it has to operate on another frequency band and is quite limited in terms of duty cycles. I’ll try anyway, and I don’t think getting a licence to access higher duty cycles limits and power should be that hard.

Give them a reason to care : hosting series they want to watch but don’t have access to, easier ways to share images and data (close relative works part time in an enterprise that banned emails from non corporate addresses, she used to send the photos she needs for work to her work laptop through email, it’s the reason she uses Immich now) hosting banned movies, inaccessible old movies or any thing that may peek interest gets their finger in the cogs. Key aspect is : initial access must be EASY (an app launcher is often all that should be required)

It’s impossible to overcome from what I know, you can use SIM cards or even Musk-dishes but internet is public infrastructure reliant. For that kind of prepping (communication during exceptional conditions) look into radio communication.

It’s a bit steep, you can go on YouTube for a bit, then browse the documentation of any word you don’t understand (AI can help a lot with understanding but will get confused at any troubleshooting task) the steps can be resumed quite easily:

Find an OS:

• see what kind of data you’re working with (photos, videos, films,…) it all depends on your orientation/hobby/personality
• find what kind of applications you’d want to run, for how many people roughly ( personally I knew I would aim to replace netflix and cloud for close family and maybe a couple friends and circumvent as much as possible things like WeTransfer and compressions when sharing pictures in chats)
• see how much money and time you are willing to put in : first for the launch, then on a weekly basis (you can go for very cheap non redundant app first os like OP mentioned if you can pay to back it all up remotely/ have a separated NAS or see if you’d prefer to assume resilience mainly on your side)

Then you have a rough idea of your needs (this is all YouTube knowledge thus far, you can start looking at videos of people trying to use, comparing, ranking different solutions and tutos for how it’s like to set up for the first time and how do app work in those systems (docker, app stores, how big the community is around them, how much of a sysadmin you have to be to run and set it up…)

Then from that you can start seeing how which install fits in your budget and time allocation. After that, sinking hours of troubleshooting and setup is almost straightforward, it’s just going to be a list of side quests to complete the main one with a side of documentation.

On my side I initially wanted to go full free software, I wanted to use my 10 years old windows desktop to run trueNAS (it was already running jellyfin in docker desktop, useless for the process but is a fun starter to dip a toe in to get a feel). I bought on eBay a couple hard drives (ended up buying very cheap enterprise SAS, I recommend, mind you you’ll need a daughterboard)(you’ll see that different OS require different RAM, SSD, HDD ratios to run smoothly so recycling old hardware often requires upgrades) I completely failed to make trueNAS work correctly and since it’s enterprise first it has very… unfriendly conceptions about flexibility and user friendliness (brutal on the kind of budget and time I had).

After abandoning the project for a couple of months (due to exams mainly, and the fact I couldn’t repress myself from spending nights on unresolved issues) I decided to go the Unraid route (which is paid, yikes, but truly hasn’t let me down once, the community is huge and the software is rock solid and really helps you not fuck everything up (which trueNAS will happily let you do), I truly recommend that investment, they have a generous trial period, it’s really really great).

After that it’s just more setup for hours on end, transferring files to Immich, re-setting all the AI knowledge about faces (also for me a lot of metadata correction for very old family photos), letting disks and parity initialize, moving old backups from old drives into the new system, including the clean disks into the array, setting up prowlarr, radarr, sonarr, jellyfin.

Then comes the other hard question : how to do you access remotely ? (By now you already have a better idea about how docker and local network works and how important it is to secure it properly; and you’re about to learn how little your ISP cares about you)

I tried boilerplate wireguard, it’s wonderful but a very MANUAL setup with a DDNS. But honestly (even though I really did not want to spend another penny) the cloud flared tunnel with your own domain is kind of what you want (because they have neat zero trust features, for exemple to access any of the services I host that do not have to have in-app access (Immich, jellyfin, that have authentication built-in) are behind 2FA based on a short whitelist of email addresses which reduces immensely how much protection I have to care about.

After that you can go on to nextcloud (requires remote access on a domain) and all the rest of the fun stuff.

Now the thing is (like every hobby) there is a perfect solution, it’s at least tens of thousands of euros and you need a guy to manage it, but it’s bulletproof and will survive any attack.

You are not that person, you try stuff that is on your level, you don’t assume perfect functionality in one weekend and you take time to learn on every step of the way. In my quick little summary you can already feel (as I am a noob as well) that it’s a very iterative process, often you’ll half-ass something to move on, then come back to upgrade it when needed. You are very much building a machine, first from the hardware side, then mainly from the inside.

At some point you’ll have people around you start finding out how useful and interesting all this is, and it’s a very rewarding feeling to see what you assembled (because you haven’t typed a single command line in the terminal thus far) starting to get some use.

Hope this helps as a little piece of motivation, and if you are to start now I hope you have some old RAM laying around, in any case, start small and build up :)

It’s the way forward, and a somewhat comfortable one at that for people who would rather start a homelab than talking to random humans (including myself). Internet is bound to be corrupt because of it’s inherent lawlessness and political power through mass propaganda. I would advocate for a ban of centralised social media, but that would only be a temporary solution since bots and trolls creep everywhere and communities online might still have a hard time surviving.

But to fight against the shit flooding, it’s hard to see how you’d do without meatspace option and evidently (as dumb as it may sound) you might want to get involved actively into associations or political activities around you. The high individuality (by that I meant the social atomisation) of the US is why it’s been so susceptible to false information and the far right online propaganda. Real life social fabric is what makes resilience against trolls and AI, and ultimately you’ll only be able to fight the root cause when you’ll be free of that dictator of yours.

So I am with you, and it’s hard to see at first but you’re not alone thinking like you do and finding groups around where you live to talk and think together is the best thing that can be recommended to anyone.

Teaching like another comment says would be such an option to consider.

Childbirth costs isn’t what’s preventing people from having babies though

Je ne sais pas si voyager est le réseau où ce genre d’articles ont le plus besoin d’être repostés, mais je me permet d’y joindre une entrevue récente d’un ex reporter de l’observatoire de la laïcité qui traite le problème à l’échelle plus large, commentant au passage l’étude IFOP de l’article : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DKV8ZyC6MM

The first disclaimer in the video is the most relatable thing I’ve read in a while

I love these guys so much, what they are doing is truly incredible. Immich is how I started self hosting and they’ll be the first 100 bucks I take off my first big boy paycheck.

I am more and more learning about how personal interests often conflict with societal interests (as simple as it may sound). We are globally going to understand soon enough that democracy isn’t worth shit as long as feedback loops that allow personal interests to creep in are “meta”.

Loads of people have lots of ideas on how to run countries and communities, but ideology and doctrines are not really proven concepts.

And the other big problem is that to declare new forces within existing infrastructure (creating counter power to prevent positive feedback mechanisms), societal interest must still be powerful enough to not require a revolution to be enacted in a sensible and effective way.

A lot of countries have already in my mind gone way over that threshold, it’s recognisable when actual societal interests, long term initiatives and big questions about the future are not asked anymore because the political power is working at consolidating their position and redistributing favours they owe to the soon to be oligarchy.

But you can’t really allow anyone to be a defeatist because cynism is the last nail in the coffin, staying awake and fight hoping that enough will join soon enough is the only way to keep existing.

Adding components to a system alters the output therefore changing the system.

Si tout le monde se met à utiliser Tor pour aller mater des vidéos de cul le réseau sera instantanément saturé, alors que déjà c’est pas rapide de base.
