  That’s a false dichotomy. Freedom of speech should not solely be for those you a priori agree with. That’s the thinking of an authocrat.

  Maybe there’s energy intensive processes that they could do up there instead. Something like Haber Bosch. Then bring the products down.

  Sadly there’s so much good music from the 2000s on their that I can’t find elsewhere. Small bands that never really broke through.

  Inaccesible because of autocratic morons.

  The Sea has been shaping NL and it’s society for ages. Keeping it at bay (which is one of the tasks of waterschap I guess) is a life-or-death task.

  Indeed. I like that they decided that politicians shouldn’t meddle with important engineering. :)

  You’re right :)

  It’s one of the most democratic countries on earth (1).

  There’s the national, provincial and municipal levels. With some weird stuff like water management (waterschap) being it’s own electable agency outside of the typical political system.

  On the national level there’s the executive (cabinet), and a 2 tier legislative (parliament and senate).

  It has a very low electoral threshold, so new parties can come (and go) quite fast. Last elections BBB (Boer Burger Beweging/“Farmer Citizen Action”) was such a surprise winner. So governance is almost always through a coalition of parties.

  I’ve worked with bookstack. Found it easy and intuitive. It’s wiki software not specific to family history.

  Same :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  enough of the local language to buy stuff and ask for directions

  You convinced me on that one. Perhaps they should enough of the language for day-to-day niceties. The particular problem with Belgium is that this means they should learn both basic French and Dutch :-p Most french speaking Belgians don’t even do that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it a bit strange that people choose to move to Norway and work in Norway, but don’t learn the language

  Depens on if they intend to move permanently, no? Most of my non-belgian colleagues don’t intend to stay in belgium long-term. Can’t fault them for that :)

  When they do intend on moving permanently, I share your point of view.

  They didn’t extort, but they did ask to essentially look the other way and in turn they will handle any hostilities of other groups.

  Maybe not clear as daylight extortion. But I imagine it’s a precarious position nonetheless? Had your father not been as “easy going”, he could be the problem they’d take out?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitOps for docker compose stacks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it depends on the rate of change, rather than the amount of containers.

  At home I do things manually as things change maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

  Professionally I usually do setup automated devops because updates and deployments happen almost daily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I work at a place where halve of the people speak dutch, the other halve come from all over the world.

  It helps when everyone speaks the same language, and can jump in and out of conversation whenever.

  It’s illegal for them to actually ban the use of Dutch, as this is in Belgium. But it’s also just a dick move to exclude halve of the people from conversation, just because it’s convenient to some.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GitOps for docker compose stacks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At one of my clients I use gitlab CI with ansible. It took 3 days to setup, and requires thinkering. But all in all, I like the versitility, consistency and transparency of this approach.

  If I’d start over again, I’d use pyinfra instead of ansible, but that’s a minor difference.
