This is the internet. Deflection from the point being made, in an effort to one-up or simply argue with a post.

Your steadfast defending of the aggressors in this conflict in somewhat commendable, or at least consistent. Hope you eventually find enlightenment.
PS. Not a bot. Just a different opinion.

Why are you trying to deflect onto Ukraine. I’m sure it’s atrocities all round, that isn’t the point. Russia invaded. Russia are the aggressor. Russia are the invaders. No argument there I imagine. I’m not a hypocrite as you are arguing an entirely different point in an attempt of whataboutism. Perhaps if Russia had not of invaded, all this would have been avoided no? Who knows what bright future we may have had without countries invading other countries like time of old. We will never learn, especially with people like yourself giving justification for their efforts.

The sad thing is that people think things like that warrants all out war. How many more people need to die in order to prevent people from dieing? It’s a fallacy, and I don’t believe for a second that this war is based on saving lives.

Keep yourself together now.
I have no hand in this game. I just see the basic facts. One of them is the invader. The other is the invaded. Regardless of what else is occurring, nothing has convinced me that the invaders were were doing it out of goodness of their hearts. Being on Lemmy I’ve heard a lot from all sides. I’m not on anyone’s side but I can tell you the invaders were the aggressor. You can paint whatever picture you want, but it’ll always be one invaded the other.

None of which warrant annexing and invading another country, destroying civilian infrastructure, forced naturalization, etc.
It seems to me that an escalation to war was a desperate move. A weak move at that.
Your description makes it sound like the school bully got it’s feelings hurt as everyone started calling them names in the yard. Knowing that it’s days of influence are behind them, the next day the bully returned to school with a gun…

I’ll bite. In the 5 years leading up to Russia invading Ukraine, what did NATO do that warrants such a move by Russia?
- Comment on In search of riches, hackers plant 4G-enabled Raspberry Pi in bank network 1 week ago:
This is still trivial. A Pi with 2 NICs and a Linux bridge. Using the 2 ports, effectively put the Pi in between the device you want to spoof and the rest of the network. Now you can see the traffic, the MAC addresses etc.
- Comment on Home sales are down. So why are prices at an all-time high? 1 week ago:
It can take several months to close a house sale. Maybe the prices will change with a delay?

Looking at traffic analytics pretty much all our developer staff use chatgpt for 3+ hours a day. I’m not a big fan of using llm for my own development work. I’m proficient in they languages I write in so I don’t need it as much.
I feel like using llm can get you a quick fix but for programming a lot of the results are nonsense. It’s really really well formatted but nonsense still the same. Maybe I can’t use it right. Or I’m asking the wrong questions.
I find it hilarious how when you call it out for being BS it responds with “yes of course, you are right!..” then gives a possibly working or nonsense answer, who knows.
- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 4 weeks ago:
Also nmap uses fingerprinting on port scans to identify devices. Or attempt to, a lot of the time it doesn’t know, or says “Linux”

If Oasis is beyond your line for what is allowed to be called music then your music choices must be small indeed.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 4 weeks ago:
The argument there is if a game is left online with no studio to care for it then they believe they would be liable for community content.
I don’t think it applies to offline games at all.
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 4 weeks ago:
Yes and yes.
However I don’t use these solutions for mobiles. I use standard wireguard for that
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 4 weeks ago:
There are loads of alternatives now so it’s a good time to have a look.
I’ve setup netmaker at home, and netbird at work They are both good solutions.
I think if I had to redo home I would swap to netbird. Both of these are fully self hosted.
Neither are as easy to setup as tailscale, but once you get over that hurdle it’s fine.

We are getting to the point where llm are used to expand on a topic and fill out an article and then another llm provides an inaccurate tldr summary. What a world to live in. 🤢
- Comment on Docker Backup Stratagy 1 month ago:
I hear you. I worked for an msp where some customers would refuse to invest in backup solutions and we either declined to renew their contract or they suffered an event and we were then setting up backups.
I was in the middle of a migration from OVH to Hetzner. I knew I had good backups at home so the plan was to blow away OVH and restore from backup to Hetzner. This was the mistake.
Mid migration I get an alert from the raid system that a drive has failed and had been marked as offline. I had a spare disk ready, as I planned for this type of event. So I swapped the disk. Mistake number 2.
I pulled the wrong disk. The Adaptec card shit a brick, kicked the whole array out. Couldn’t bring it back together. I was too poor to afford recovery. This was my lesson.
Now I only use ZFS or MDRAID, and have multiple copies of data at all times.
- Comment on Docker Backup Stratagy 1 month ago:
I’m lucky enough to run a business that needs a datacenter presence. So most my home-lab (including Lemmy) is actually hosted on a Dell PowerEdge R740xd in the DC. I can then use the small rack I have at home as off-site backups and some local services.
I treat the entirety of
/var/lib/dockeras expendable. When creating containers, I make sure any persistent data is mounted from a directory made just to host the persistent data. It meansdocker compose down --rmi all --volumesisn’t destructive.When a container needs a database, I make sure to add an extra read-only user. And all databases have their container and persistent volume directory named so scripts can identify them.
The backup strategy is then to backup all non-database persistent directories and dump all SQL databases, including permissions and user accounts. This gets run 4 times a day and the backup target is an NFS share elsewhere.
This is on top of daily backuppc backups of critical folders, automated Proxmox snapshots for docker hosts every 20 minutes, daily VM backups via Proxmox Backup Server and replication to another PBS at home.
I also try and use S3 where possible (seafile and lemmy are the 2 main uses) which is hosted in a container on a Synology RS2423RP+. Synology HyperBackup then performs a backup overnight to the Synology RS822+ I have at home.
Years ago I fucked up, didn’t have backups, and lost all the photos of my sons early years. Backups are super important.

Then why the outrage from this news story then?
I also boycott epic. Steam is the way. But for reasons that steam is different to epic.

This isn’t exclusive to epic. Steam has had games removed as well.

How is blocking scrapers easy?
This instance receives 500+ IPs with differing user agents all connecting at once but keeping within rate limits by distribution of bots.
The only way I know it’s a scraper is if they do something dumb like using “google.com” as the referrer for every request or by eyeballing the logs and noticing multiple entries from the same /12.
