Kackwurst?

I did the same last week (and am still in the process of setting up more services for my new server). I have a few VMs (running Fedora CoreOS, with podman preinstalled), and I use ansible to push my quadlets, podman secrets, and static configuration files. Persistent data volumes get mounted using virtiofs from the host system, and the VMs are not supposed to contain any state themselves. The VMs are also provisioned using using ansible.

Do you use ansible to automatically restart changed containers after pushing your changes? So far, I just trigger a systemctl daemon-reload, but trigger restarts manually (which I guess is fine for development).

Around 2010, I was using Pidgin to communicate with friends, a universal client to connect to instant messaging platforms. At the time, this would have been MSN, ICQ, AOL messenger, Skype, etc. Even facebook was running its own XMPP server that you could connect to, and communicate with your facebook friends! Pre-enshittification-times were really amazing.

In this pre-Snowden era, end-to-end encryption was pretty much unheard of, TLS was used for “serious stuff” like online banking. Still, Pidgin had a plugin implementing OTR messaging, which is essentially an ancestor of the Signal protocol. It worked by sending the encrypted messages as plain text messages over any supported service. Me and my friend (who, I believe, was using a different non-Pidgin MacOS client?) would talk to each other using OTR-encrypted messages via Facebook Messenger. Key verification was not a solved issue and had to be done manually using a different channel. And when you opened Facebook itself to look at your messages, all you could see was a bunch of base64(?)-encoded gibberish. Fun times.

The only way to outlaw encryption is to outlaw mathematics. If two (or more) persons want to exchange messages securely, they can and will always be able to do so. If I cannot trust my messaging application, I will find a way that I do not have to trust it, and people that have something to hide even more so. Encryption is not a loophole for criminals; it is a bulwark against tyranny. This proposal will solve no problems, but establish a authoritarian surveillance state.

I would assume/hope that it’s pretty simple to collect all the cables again? Just “walk” once across the field, pick up all the cables, roll them up, and you are done? I am kind of wondering why the operator couldn’t just roll up the cable from their side again after the end of the flight. But I can understand that that is not a priority at that point.

Dank Stoßlüften übernacht, sämtliche Fenster weit aufgerissen, ist die Temperatur in meiner Wohnung auf 25°C heute morgen gesunken. Ich habe versucht, meine Fenster so gut wie möglich mit Plissees, Vorhängen und einfach eingeklemmten Bettlaken zu verdunkeln. Jetzt bin ich bei 31°C, was immerhin 6K weniger ist als draußen.

Yes, absolutely. Right now, SSDs are probably superior in comparison to HDDs in every category except for price (and long-term data integrity when switched off). But when you consider large parity raids and take into account the cost of electricity, even the price difference might only be small, making SSDs even more attractive.

Hmm. Let’s say I add 6 SSDs, 2TB each, for a total of 600€. In a RAID6 configuration, that gives me 8TB of storage. Compare that to a classical NAS with 2×8 TB HDDs for a total of 350€.

The HDDs will draw around 4W idle each, 8W in total. Assuming 0.3€/kWh, over a span of 5 years, that is approximately 100€. The power consumption of the SSDs will be negligible.

So, just in terms of storage, the SSD solution is around 33% more expensive over 5 years. If you include the cost of the NAS itself, the price increment is even less noticeable.

Very helpful. I was just looking at this the other day.

It’s second place, directly after 2024-09-28 with 99 special equipment destroyed.

However, 312 other vehicles is a new record (and second place is 210 other vehicles, which is shared between 2025-03-28 and 2025-04-15 (this Tuesday)).

Not the case I was thinking about, but here is a similar case:

[translated] Parking in a stupid way can be expensive. In Frankfurt, the regional court has ruled that a car driver must pay for the use of 28 cabs.

[…]

The cabs collected people waiting at the stops and drove them to other stops along the route. This went on for an hour before the car parked not far from a “Please keep enough distance from the track” sign was towed away and the route was free again. […]

When the VGF then demanded 973.13 euros, 25 euros of this was a lump sum for their own expenses - and the rest was the cost of the rail replacement cabs. The court ruled out manipulation by the cab company after hearing witnesses, and the court was also unable to recognize any dilly-dallying during towing.

The car driver did not have any legal grounds for not paying for the cabs, this only went to a court because they tried to accuse the cab company.

Someone in my city did this. Their car blocked the tram. The tram company ordered taxis for all passengers, and the car owner had to foot the bill.

I bought my current belts from Vegan Store in London (🇬🇧 UK). The belts that they sell are made in 🇵🇹 Portugal from 🇮🇹 Italian vegan leather. They were shipped to me (🇩🇪 Germany) from a warehouse in the 🇳🇱 Netherlands. I am quite satisfied with them.

I just checked, and I have connectivity while on cellular. Maybe (just wild speculation) your mobile network is IPv6-only? Android (not Linux) should list 192.0.0.4 as an IP address in that case.

Yes, Linux is running in a VM, and the network interface is a virtualized veth interface connected to a host bridge. The host android system has IP address 192.168.0.1, and this network interface is called avf_tap_fixed (as seen from termux).
