I’m not an expert but maybe the grid is not uniform in the whole country and you can’t simply inject more power in one place and less in another for everything to even out nicely? You know what I mean? Maybe it matters where the power plant is, not just how much power it generates? But I don’t know, just thinking.

In my case I wanted to separate my services between the ones accessible from the internet (git. lemmy) and not (bitwarden, *arr). To do this I need 3-4 VMs. I went with proxmox for the backups: you just define retention policy and that’s it. Promox drops backups of VMs automatically keeping the right amount of old versions. If you don’t want to split your services and you’re fine with just one VM I think you can easily go with pure debian. I did have some issues with proxmox (like failing network card, it required some fiddling) so it’s not “free”. There’s some extra work to get the benefits.

And I think having everything in one VM is also fine. I’m only splitting it because I want to have some things accessible from the internet. If not I would just use docker for everything.

I tried just using WIreguard and I struggled with with setup. When it fails to connect it’s really hard to figure out what the issue is (port forwarding on one of the routers? firewall on the server? something else?). WIth my netbird setup I’m also relying on DNS, groups and exit node setup. I think it’s just easier with a clear dashboard like the commercial tool have. Netbird is also free and I’m planning on selfhosting netmaker.

Interesting.

BTW, who’s your favorite classical composer?

Looks like it was more complicated than that: https://zywiec.naszemiasto.pl/gwalt-w-pietrzykowicach-protest-przed-sadem-ws-zbyt/ar/c1-3717644

So I knew they sentences they got were crazy low and that one of the guys was a son of a politician but looks like the justification from the judge I heard was just something made up. The appeals court rejected the sentencing but I don’t know what the final outcome was.

Very recently some judge in Poland claimed that when a bunch of guys raped a girl it wasn’t legally a Gang Rape because they took turns. I kid you not.

No everyone, just the Germans. And Italians are the hairy ones for some reason.

In the town I live in we have Iberian house, Roman church, Visigoth buildings and some Muslim remains all under the same main square. Some kind of a village was in the same place for ~10 thousand years. In the town nearby they started building new metro line and hit Roman cemetery with ~500 graves.

From what I read Mexica arrived late to those territories and simply couldn’t get better land. In the end they got lucky. They were not able to grow enough food on the island so fish, birds and eggs formed big part of their diet. This made their warriors better at doing warrior things for reasons we’re not sure about. Maybe it was because they were not tied to farming calendar as much or maybe it was the extra protein. They eventually conquered all the neighboring tribes and built a nice city on that island.

I tried some keypass tools and immediately went back to Vaultwarden. Bitwarden clients work offline until you have to sync, no risks here, but the user experience is way way better. It’s easier to add new accounts, search for them, store additional data like addresses or credit cards and fill them out automatically. I can imagine using keePass for some password I have to access once a week but not for everyday use in my browser and on mobile.

400 years of peace… Must have been nice!

BTW, can you really say “Iberian tribes”? There were Celts in the north of peninsula which were not really Iberian and mediterranean cost had phoneticians. Real Ibers lived only in valleys in southern Spain. I mean, I know you meant “the tribes that were present on the Iberian peninsula”, I just think it’s interesting actual Ibers only occupied smart portion of it.

So how rare was that? I mean, how likely was it for a Roman citizen to witness war or some revolution? I was driving along Via de la Plata the other day (even stopped to see some actual Roman road) and I was thinking… Romans conquered the Celts around 200 BC and stayed there until Visigoths arrived in ~400 AC. I’m not aware of any invasions happening in that period. Did people in the Iberian peninsula really live through 600 years of peace?

Maybe they were just bad at prioritizing?

Yes but at least they were not poor and had better life than that and some could buy their way out of slavery…

Oh yes, they would be brought back to the capital to serve the empire. I thought you meant recruited for fighting which I don’t think happened. They were great at using all the skilled tradesmen. I think they even brought some miners back from Europe to open mines in Mongolia.

I by “recruit” you mean enslave thousands of people and force them to work on building siege machines and digging tranches than yes :)

Seriously, I’ve read that each Mongol warrior was supposed to catch like 10 people as they moved through the invaded lands and they would move all those people like cattle with the army. When they finally reached the main objective they would force all those people to cut down trees and build siege machines. People from smaller towns would flee the incoming army to bigger forts which meant that before Mongols got there the cities were already overcrowded and had troubles to withstand the siege. It was methodical and brutal and worked perfectly.

No, I wasn’t invited.

Mongols: kill everyone and keep riding

I remember one incident wherein a Celtic tribe’s swords bent

How old are you?

No idea what it uses but I used on GrapheneOS without issues.

I would organize a group bandits to raid small local communities.

A ship did that?

My Aldi just put roofs over part of their parking last year. And then they put solar panels of the roof… of the store. Because yeah, there’s way more space on the roof than on the parking and I bet it’s 10x easier to put solar panels there.
