Well here is where my PhD in tracking stuff on paper, which gets handed out in triplicate to every German child at birth, comes in handy. The signature line customarily includes the date again because printing date and signing date (and thus validity) might differ. And yes, I know this is not applicable in a restaurant (hopefully), but that's generally the reason when it occurs.

Scientist for the first twenty years of my life:

We are destroying the only ecosystem supporting human life, it's going to start being really bad in a hundred years.

Scientists for the last ten years of my life:

Haha, we might have been a bit optimistic on that estimate, this new data looks really bad. Oops.

Anti-doomers the whole time:

Hey don't be alarmist, you will just make the public apathetic and nothing will get done.

The public:

The fuck are these fucking idiots sitting in the god-damn road for? I gotta get to work, move it!

Politicians:

doing nothing

Muehe ,

To my knowledge yes, "we" did. Actual measurements have turned out to be on the pessimistic end of the spectrum of predictions or beyond consistently. The first IPCC report that got really into doomerism was the one from 2021, that was supposedly leaked for fear of political censorship:

IPCC steps up warning on climate tipping points in leaked draft report

I meant scientists did too. They thought it would take way longer to turn bad than it actually did, at least most of them thought so. Would probably be interesting to do a meta-study on how much the corridor of estimates narrowed or widened in the IPCC reports over the years, and in which general direction they trended.

Muehe ,

So it’s either a Chrome thing or a Mac and Chrome thing.

Neither really, it's a font thing. I see a wooden wheel in the page title, a car wheel in my tab bar, and it's missing in the window title.

liveuamap.com reports there was a second plane owned by Prigozhin in the air, so my conspiracy theory is he got wind of the impending assassination, swapped the passenger lists, and will be announcing his "March of Justice" 2.0 shortly.

Healthcare could definitely be better, but 67% of Americans are satisfied with their insurance.

No offense, but this sounds a bit like asking the congenitally blind if they miss seeing.

Muehe ,

Actually you are both wrong, since the Balkenkreuz and the Eiserne Kreuz are but two of hundreds of variations of the same symbol, the black cross of the German Order of knights, dating back to the 12th century. It's the same symbol.

And not only that, the particular variation you are going on about, the Balkenkreuz, black cross with a thick white and small black outline except for the endings of the cross, isn't a Nazi symbol. It was used in the first world war already.

Which is all completely ignoring that it's a simple cross with a single outline, one of the most basic shapes there is, used by a medical company.

All to say, I see how it's easy to mistake, but you are wrong on the facts and you are airing your grievances on the wrong venue. Write to the company, maybe they will even agree with you and change it.

The third iteration of Nokia is back to building phones, and the smartphones they sell are part of the Android One program (stock Android, two years of updates guaranteed).

Muehe ,

Yes, the Nokia X10. Worked rather well over the last two years, although the only thing I can compare it to are devices I got from work (mostly older Samsungs with a ton of crapware).

Muehe , (edited )

No, they are owned by HMD Global which is a company that was initially comprised mostly of former Nokia executives. They produce in China though (like everybody else).

  1. What would be the advantage of running Nextcloud as a docker, instead of within a VM?
    • No idea really beyond the usual VM/container trade-offs, I guess it would allow you to use orchestration tools and similar for Docker.
  2. What would be a sensible way to have an incremental/differential backup of the VM/Docker?
    • If you use Proxmox as your hypervisor it comes with a sophisticated backup solution, probably the same for ESXi or whatever. Not sure about Docker.
  3. The storage usage of my Nextcloud instance exceeds 1TB. If I run it within a VM, I will have to connect it to a 2TB SSD. Does it make sense to add the external storage space to the VM? [...]
    • That's what I would do at least. Connecting external storage space to a VM/container is relatively trivial and Nextcloud recommends to separate binaries and data directory anyway. Plus this allows you to use different backup strategies for data versus binaries+metadata.

In case you haven't yet, I'd also recommend taking a look at this: https://github.com/nextcloud/vm

It's basically a collection of three shell scripts to install, manage, and update Nextcloud. Last time I tried it also worked on LXC/LXD, not only VMs. It would probably work on Docker as well and has some files related to that in the migrate/docker directory.
