  • Well, in context of “the Nazis have taken over and our only option is a military operation to remove the government”, I highly doubt the Nazis would allow a Jewish person to be elected as president in the first place. If they don’t have that ability then they clearly don’t have enough power to justify a foreign invasion

    If they were serious about stopping Nazis maybe they should have started with Dmitry Utkin who has Nazi tattoos and literally named the state-funded Wagner group after Hitler’s favorite composer.

    It’s almost like this has never been about stopping Nazis at all












  • All of that is fixable with the right policies

    End zoning restrictions which requires all single family homes in a given area and allow mixed zoning. Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs are doing this right now and there are apartments going up with the ground floor being shops, grocery stores, etc. Minneapolis is the first US city to rein in inflation below 2% because housing hasn’t been as much of an issue. They started funding higher density housing back in 2018 and it is paying off tremendously right now.

    One you build a few apartment buildings in the same area you can support bussing to the surrounding area, and most people can get around to where they need to for work.

    Ideally you get light rail, but nimbyism is a huge pain that is hard to overcome. Still though, just getting to that point reduces the number of trips you need especially if you build bike trails to make short distance commuting even easier without a car.


  • Don’t let lack of knowledge ever be the reason to stop trying something in homelabs! Honestly for a beginner resource ChatGPT is where I’d go for these kinds of questions. It does a great job explaining what all the terms mean and you can drill down into topics as needed such as permissions and different terminal commands you’ll need

    Anyways, this link has a decent description of samba:

    https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-and-configure-samba#1-overview

    A Samba file server enables file sharing across different operating systems over a network. It lets you access your desktop files from a laptop and share files with Windows and macOS users.

    So as long as a computer is on the network it could access files stored on this hard drive. It is super useful as a first homelab project


  • How does that philosophy come from Windows? Windows was all about tying your application directly to the host OS via the old .net framework and COM. You had to wait for the OS to update before your app could, or the OS could randomly update and break your app

    Containers as a technology are almost entirely a Linux thing as well, Windows ships with a full Linux kernel to support it now.
