nachtigall , to reddit in The amount of Russophobia and anti Russian censorship ongoing currently on Reddit is astounding.

What kind of russophobia do you observe? Almost every post that makes it to r/all (which is pretty much the only thing I visit) has a top comment that underlines this is about Putin and not the Russian people.

It is not about Putin. It is about Russia, and the only reason you see “f*** Putin” instead of “f*** Russia” (like "“f*** China”) is because Russians are Caucasian like and white skinned, and not yellow/brown/black skinned. It is English Fascism at play.

Why do you think you do not see anything talking about the Aegis missile system of 30 NATO countries surrounding Russia at the moment? Why do the 2-5% people having arguments that favour Russia get silenced or called Russian bot?

I don’t even know what to say about this. You have an incredibly hateful and racist worldview.

Why do you think you do not see anything talking about the Aegis missile system of 30 NATO countries surrounding Russia at the moment?

I am pretty sure that is because of the ongoing Russian attack on Ukraine. All of this proves the necessity for protection. The invasion delivered the best possible justification for NATO’s existence.

Why do the 2-5% people having arguments that favour Russia get silenced or called Russian bot?

Same as above. There is no justificaton for war.

No it’s just a realist view. Great man theory was completely discredited by modern political economy. Read a book.

nachtigall ,

Would you mind elaborating further? I don’t get your point.

“It’s not about Putin, it’s about Russia” is a true statement. History is not decided by great men. History is decided by the class struggle and material conditions. And right now, Russia is in a popular front just like China was in WW2. Why? Because the west wants to open up Russia’s economy to foreign interests. They want to privatize Russia’s state oil and gas firms and expropriate the profits. The same thing they have done for the resources of countries all over the world. Proof? You can see it in public. Leaders and pundits in NATO are already floating around the idea of regime change in Russia. They are going to try to start a coup and put in a US friendly leader in Russia.

@sexy_peach since you were asking too

david ,

This already happened. The oligarchs own the means of production, and spend their profits in the West to live lives of luxury. Russia hasn’t been communist for decades, and putin’s friends are the capitalist owners extracting the results of the work of the people for their own private benefit. Where have you been?

ree , to piracy in Is there a piracy solution as boomer friendly as Stremio?

I don’t know stremio but jellyfin (and Plex and emby) are interresting becquse they allow you to serve content outside of your local network.

A solution is that you manage the server and jellyfin and your friends/family connect to it. It only works if you have a decent upload or if you rent a server/vps

beansniffer OP ,
@beansniffer@lemmy.ml avatar

Stremio is essentially a glorified torrent client with a nice UI. It runs locally on a device connected to the tv you want to stream to. It behind the scenes searches trackers and downloads from torrents of the content someone wants to watch in a netflix like UI. Someone that wasn’t technology literate wouldn’t know they were pirating content from torrents if you didn’t tell them.

A solution is that you manage the server and jellyfin and your friends/family connect to it.

While a self hosted solution like this would be nice, I would get messages everyday from friends and family frequently asking, “Can you add this movie to the server? Can you add this TV show to the server?” and they would eventually stop asking me and just pay for a streaming service if I forgot to fulfill every request. I would like to avoid having to manually add content to the server if my friends and family can just choose the content their wanting to watch themselves.

UnreliantGiant ,

I haven’t tried it personally, but for content requests you can host Ombi. People can then request content through Ombi, which then instructs your *arr stack to get the content. It would basically be fully automated

QuentinCallaghan , to asklemmy in How do you fund your lemmy instance?
@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz avatar

I’m hosting sopuli.xyz on Hetzner’s VPS that is 6 €/month so funding the instance is mere pocket change. No need to mine cryptocurrency on users’ computers yet :D

xhci ,

If you don’t mind me asking, is it still this cheap?

Also, thanks for running that lemmy instance! I’m able to find the news I’m looking for there rather than reddit 😁

jiaminglimjm , to asklemmy in How do you (easily) respect boundaries?

we need more context… r u from europe?

gary_host_laptop , to piracy in Does anyone else dislike Bluray discs?
@gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml avatar

the only blu rays i ever owned were ps3 gaems, they never really catch on here as dvds cos they were expensive af, but yes, fuck them

011011 , to linux in How do I introduce Linux to my mom?

People need to experience something before they can ascertain if it is a viable option. Install Ubuntu or Linux Mint on a secondary device, let her see how familiar it is to her.

Then you can explain some of the other advantages of using Linux.

kakapo ,
@kakapo@sopuli.xyz avatar

Seconding this! I’ve had the best success by using Linux to revive people’s old laptops that just couldn’t run other modern OSes fast enough, and if they’ve been impressed enough, they’ve ended up installing it on their other devices. Even if not (say, if it didn’t support some applications required for work, for example), they’ve usually at least kept it on said laptop.

sexy_peach , to asklemmy in Why so many commies in this app?

Because commies are cool

News-articles that don’t cite primary-sources are BS

Criticism or harassment?

Criticism.

Is Cyberpunk 2077 stable?

Trainzkid , to linux in Have you ever tried using the terminal exclusively for your day-to-day usage for any amount of time?

I try to make a habit of using the terminal for as much as I can, which honestly is a lot. I’ve even found a way to use it at work.

One day, I plan to run Linux without a window manager, maybe even without xorg entirely, using the tty’s exclusively.

SupportTransPeople , to asklemmy in Do you think the fediverse has become a save space for radicals?

yes, “free/libre” software usually attracts nazis, especially gpl licenses. that’s why lemmy should start using an ethical open source license and get serious about getting rid of right-wingers

Halce ,
@Halce@lemmy.ml avatar

Not really. GPL is a left wing license. It literally enforces cooperation, and collaboration, which’re communal values, rather than individualism.

nutomic , to asklemmy in [Mod] What is your vision for asklemmy?
@nutomic@lemmy.ml avatar

The current rules look good, expect for “Legal under US law”, that should go. We have a code of conduct for the site, so there is no reason to refer to the laws of some random country.

aexiruch , to selfhost in Do you guys use some management software for your server or just have a lot of docker containers?
@aexiruch@lemmy.ml avatar

Professionally I am an “Architect” and not much involved in system config (anymore), what I describe below is how I do things for my own, private, servers: Not a big fan of docker, it too often means “cobbled together by a dev not understanding security implications” aka “Institutionalized ‘works on my machine’” (of course there are exceptions!). Generally I like using Ansible, because it feels close to how I learned things (ssh, manually), while still making things reproducible (Infrastructure as Code). But, again, not too big a fan of using other peoples “roles”, because you never know how well they actually understand what they’re doing. I read them for a rough understanding, but usually opt to write my own, based on careful reading of a given software’s config manual.

yxzi , to asklemmy in [Mod] What is your vision for asklemmy?

I’d say asklemmy for every question that doesn’t fit in any other category (existing community) without much thinking, or not in any other somewhat popular community at least
