We all have a choice. To stand, not kneel. To oppose, not obey. To live, not just exist
Solid advice.
To selfhost you first need to know what you want to do, do you want your own vpn service? your website? home assistant? then you decide what you need to host it and start building from that.
I, for example, started the serious journey in 2016 with a raspberry pi 3 with pihole, samba and qbittorrent, and started from that and now I have my own rack.
Why are you going to pay for that when there is a huge selfhosted community willing to help and answer any question.
I don’t know much about android google libraries but I have Android Auto enabled and some apps work (maps, whatsapp) but tempus doesn’t (using github). I have to try with another sonic music player that allows it.
Anyway thanks for the effort and merry Christmas.
I love it but for some reason on grapheneos it doesnt work with android auto
First you doubt the claim. Then you attack the source, now you find excuses.
Did they or didn’t they increase almost 200% the acquisition of energy from Russia in 2023? Is the Russian Federation a major provider of gas and oil for Spain (and other European countries) or not?
If you notice I am here only to point the hypocrisy of Europe, which they undoubtedly are and Spain is no different.
I don’t know if you work for a company with business in Russia, I did when this whole thing started and contracts didn’t matter much when sanctions came but I guess we weren’t big enough to make excuses.
Attacking the source instead of disproving the article.
You have hands, you can sources of your favorite side of the political spectrum, or ask an LLM.
But here are morejust because it’s Saturday and I like the apple I am eating for breakfast and I am trying to make lemmy a better place than reddit: https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/5168224/0/espana-pais-ue-que-mas-gas-natural-compra-ahora-rusia/

Sure but they are in Spanish. Murcia today is for the local brit community.

The same stuff over 200% increase in 2023 so others can say we dont buy stuff to Russia we buy it to Spain (who bought it to Russia). This source even points out the liquid gas that arrived by boat from Russia wasn’t sanctioned.
As we say in Spain “hecha la ley, hecha la trampa”
Says it decrease 25%, but it’s 25% from that almost 200% in 2023.
The European Union hypocrisy is lovely, ain’t it?
As they article points out it’s all maskerading by the fact that they heavily increased the import in 2023 and now is “reduced”
Are they democracies? No. Do they respect human rights? Also no.
I don’t care as much about them as I care about pointing out the hypocrisy of my people. I have a thing against islam but that has nothing to do with this conversation.
The European Union regulates the market so much it’s hard to call it capitalism, the biggest european companies are basically EU projects like Airbus (every government funds it) or too big too fail like Siemens and/or they would use: “strategic industry” and be done with it.
Edit oh and I almost forgot it, or they are like Inditex, basically not European it’s just an European getting rich while exploiting poor people all around the world, but I think this is actually capitalism and that guy isn’t exactly appreciated by ruling dictator, I mean party, in Spain.
I don’t know about the whole Europe but Spain is buying more energy from Russia than before the war and sanctions.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope that would be the case but Europe is also Corporativist.
Other countries like that and Europe deals with are: Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia and of course, China.
I am a debian person but when I tried EndeavourOS i relegated debian to my homeservers only.
Almost 1 year in EndeavourOS, I fucked it up once and was very easy to recover.
Thunderbird already works.
“Starting over” is how we learnt Windows in the 90’s too
The lingering feeling of instability. This is my second install of OpenSUSE, after I messed up something leading to my computer having some files which it wanted to update, but using urls which didn’t exist. After this, I’ve been feeling a bit insecure and afraid of doing something that ruins my installation. I know there’s the saying that Linux ‘just works’, but I’ve never messed up a Windows installation…
Regarding this. How often did you mess your windows installation when you started? Because I started around 8 years old with MSDOS and I screwed Windows many times, eventually I learnt what to do and what not.
Regarding software today it’s easier than it’s ever been in Linux. With flatpack, appimages and the different repos.
Anyway there is this scene in the show “Bojack Horseman” where the titular character was trying to do some exercise by running up a hill and he is tired, exhausted, another characters pass by and says: “It gets easier”, “uh?” answers Bojack, “It gets easier but you have to do it every day, that’s the hard part”.
What that means is, it will get easier, specially when you are young, but you have to be constant, you have to keep messing around and do backups.
That being said, I am huge fan of opensuse and debian but eventually on my desktop I went with endeavour-os, the only time I screwed it up it was easy to fix it by using the live-iso editing the config files and fixed, now I keep a journal when I change anything :)
CoreCtrl fixed all my issues for the GPU and CPU fan.
Okay, give me a number and I’ll call you now.
You can do all that with KDE without using the terminal.
But, I won’t talk about software because even distributions have their own way to install them without terminal and there is flatpak from a corporate perspective you dont want users to install software on their own.
