Bulletins and News Discussion from September 23rd to September 29th, 2024 - The War In The North
  • All these budget cuts across the board with the new Finnish government just so it can be redirected to NATO and military expenditures.

  • Thoughts on brutalist architecture?
  • There's the eastern bloc brutalism, but how about the kind of concrete constructions found in Brazil e.g. Niemeyer?

  • The bombed pager attacks in Lebanon show how embedded the imperialist world order is in daily life
  • What's gonna happen if the post stays up? Probably nothing, so why are you upset

  • I remember walking through Den Røde Plads, fun vibe with the big red star and skating area. It needs a Palestine Square nearby.

  • In 2025 it will be 7 euros for an ETIAS travel authorization to enter 30 European countries, for Americans and some other nationalities. I suppose it's the same thing as in the UK

  • The Soviets liberated Finland even earlier than WW2 in 1918. Unfortunately, the result of the Finnish Civil War ended with the annihilation of the Finnish Reds and the victory of the Whites. And IMO this fact fed directly into the main causes of the 1939 Winter War, since the White-led government was unwilling to negotiate or compromise with the Soviets. I don't want to say that the outcome of the Finnish Civil War would change everything, but I do sometimes wonder how WW2 could have gone differently if the Finns became Reds.

  • It's quite a shame considering that Lenin and the Bolsheviks are an important part of Finnish independence.

  • "Deploying" images rather than installing from the official ISO?
  • That's sweet, I didn't think about using nixos-anywhere for this purpose (just simplifying the install process on a new machine). I used it to great success to install NixOS on a VPS that only had a few OS options like Debian.

  • "Deploying" images rather than installing from the official ISO?
  • Yeah this is a good use case for it, if I remember right you can also trivially generate a live installer iso from the same nix configuration you'd use to run any usual updates. So you can make a custom installer for your exact configuration and copy that onto a flash drive to bootstrap you into a working environment. I think the live installer would generate something like a hardware-configuration.nix too.

  • ITT we post like another instance after defederating from Hexbear
  • They even support Russia because they think it's still the Soviet Union!

    Do you have a source on this? How can you be sure it's not?

  • Depressed as fuck tonight, anybody up for a chat?
  • University can feel really intimidating and lonely. Only advice I can give is be a little patient, there will be opportunities to meet people.

    Bulletins and News Discussion from August 26th to September 1st, 2024 - Ruto Must Go - COTW: Kenya
  • Good post 🫡

    The left part of this astroturf diagram is like the electoralism equivalent of horseshoe theory. How deluded do they need to be to place Trump voters as being one logical step from voting for the Greens? They're blinded by their own propaganda which can only see third party votes as spoilers, because they can only think in terms of a binary voting system. I hope their ignorance continues because ignorance means shit theories unable to predict behavior

  • There are KFCs in Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovska oblast which yearn to be converted into Rostic's

    Also as far as I can tell Papa John's still operates in Russia, still got the Папа Джонс buses running around

  • "I hope that I never see that face, ever, outside of a dream."
  • I'm glad my favorite scene from Mulholland Drive is getting revived

  • Can you suggest some energetic, dream-like alternative songs?
  • Beach House might be close to this? You could try the songs "Myth" or "Silver Soul"

    Other suggestions:

    Pink Bullets - The Shins
    Taro - Alt-J
    My Warm Blood - The Microphones

  • Lady Lamb - Crane Your Neck

    I remembered this song I hadn't listened to in years. Checked out the musician's page and saw that she's actively posting pro Palestine activism hard. Give her a listen!

    We are one and the same

    >> In Russian they don't say "I love you" they say "пожирать плоть капиталистов" which means "we are one and the same" and I think that's beautiful > > [Screenshot of google translate] > > Query: Пожирать плоть капиталистов > Result: Eat the flesh of the capitalists

    Russian folk tune "Batyushka" - Курский наигрыш "Батюшка"

    No clue what they're saying but I'm enjoying the instrument selection and dance

    Do you use a mesh VPN?

    Recently I've been reading a lot about the topic of mesh VPNs (tinc, Nebula, Tailscale, ZeroTier, Netmaker, Netbird, etc) and find them pretty interesting. Is anyone here using these in some capacity at home or maybe at work?

    My problem so far is that many of the options seem to be aimed at corporate use, understandably, so the developers can earn enough to keep doing it. This means the focus is on a centralized control plane, one server which knows everything about the entire network and manages firewall rules for all of it.

    This is why I'm leaning towards Nebula, since I think the decentralized design just makes more sense. There is some centralization for issuing certs though. How do I go about setting up PKI? Is there some open source solution for managing certificates and automatically renewing them?

    There's also the option of using vanilla WireGuard. This is my current setup, but I really like the idea of meshing, since it means I don't need to care if my devices are physically on the same network or not, the best connection will be used. Basically the layer of abstraction is a nice convenience that lets me think about hosts or services independently of the physical network topology.

    I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this topic! What's your setup like and what do you use it for?
