Yeah, I was just trying to prove a point that anything that’s a blanket statement saying everyone or no-one does something is invalid, unless it’s a physical constraint. I agree with you that almost everyone is susceptible to propaganda, but to say that no one is immune is simply wrong.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 11 hours ago:
That’s propaganda.

Maybe some are. You may have fallen for a propaganda here.

It’s so sad that Tarantino is a Zionist pos.
- Comment on It might actually be less than 3 4 weeks ago:
In my case, I think I matter quite a bit to 6-7 people; and matter somewhat to maybe 6-7 more. I don’t think anyone else would really care. And I’ve learnt to make my peace with it. I used to be the people-pleaser type, but I’ve been happier living on my own terms.
- Comment on Need help with adding drives to a ZFS pool 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’ll be ideal. Converting the mirror to z1 would be a big hassle. I don’t see any migration path where I can safely lose a disk without losing data. Also, if both of the old drives fail, I lose everything.
In any case, I’m perfectly happy with 8TB for now. It’s a doubling of my current capacity, of which I’m only using around 70%. I’ll be fine for quite a few years.
(Also, won’t it be around 12 TB, and not 14.5 TB?) - Submitted 4 weeks ago to selfhosted@lemmy.world | 6 comments

All the reasons that others mentioned, plus it sound cool.

I’m just waiting for Forgejo federation to be a thing, and some sort of definitive website for discovering projects. Right now, even though I do have my slefhosted forgejo instance, I still need to keep my code on GitHub, or no-one else will ever find it.
- Comment on Trump wanted a US-made iPhone. Apple gave him a gold statue. 1 month ago:
Because he’s pretty much that. Idk about the middle eastern part (why did you even include that phrase, are you racist?), but he’s definitely a dictator.

In general, Ghulab Jamun soft and soggy, full of sugary syrup. The exact taste, softness, sogginess etc. depends on where in India you’re trying it. Like most Indian desserts (or maybe even cuisine in general), it’s the name given to a diverse array of related desserts. They all have regional names, and are very similar but distinct. For example, in my hometown, it’s called Pantua, and it’ll be softer but less sweet than say in Western India.
Same fo Jalebi (we call it Jilipi). It’s crunchy, and sweet, and a little sticky. One again , the sweetness varies a lot depending on where you are. I’ve also seen alternative kinds of flour being used to make the dough, which changes the taste a lot.
Sorry if I wasn’t helpful, but it’s just very hard to explain how it tastes, because it depends on so many factors.

Most people follow sports (some even watch football) in India, and most can also read English. It’s probably a deliberate joke.

It’s funny that people are downvoting your completely unrelated non-political comments as well.

If anecdotal evidence means shit, let me add mine too. I grew up (yes, me, not my parents grandparents) in a communist state in India, and it was great lol. Does that now mean I get to deny all the legitimate criticisms of the system or that particular government? No. That’s not how it works you dumbasses. People give too much credence to anecdotal experience, even though it’s the most unreliable of all.

- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 2 months ago:
Non violent protests only work when there’s a threat of violence backing it.

Interesting. I’ve mostly seen them in the Nordic countries. (But then I haven’t had an opportunity to travel to SE Asia yet.)

I need to sleep now. If someone doesn’t post it by the time I wake up, I can make it. I think I have the episode.

Yeah, I might definitely be wrong. But still looks like some Costco-like store. Maybe Sam’s Club?
- Comment on Special sampling opportunity 3 months ago:
Looks like Costco to me. It’s probably a pack of a few billion rolls.

Bengali. But it’s a Sanskrit loan word (i.e. tatsama), so it’s the same in many north Indian languages. I don’t think it’s used as a name outside of Bengal, though.
- Comment on demon named racecar 3 months ago:
Not a kid. Also, I think he’s fine with it. He grew up in India, so it wasn’t a big deal.

I know a guy whose actual name is Anal. It means fire in our native language lol. Not a nice name to have when you’re in the US (unfortunately).
