Not at all, we just need to be prepared for when they escalate.

Economy often wins or loses a war.

If they keep sending cheap drones and drain our military budget, and we don’t do much in return they’re gaining ground

Mobilise 100,000,000€ jet, and fire a 100,000€ missile to shoot down a 5,000€ drone

Winning

Yes it’s 100% worth it.

Lots of Free Open Source apps on the F-droid store etc.

And you can patch adds out of apps.

If it becomes a walled garden, it will still be less of a walled garden than IOS

Spent the whole day looking at routers and switches, and I think I’m going with Unifi their prices are on par with the open source alternatives and they seem to just work no fuss, and I can run them fully locally and not depend on the cloud if I wanted.

I don’t want to buy any hardware that can be taken away from me with a firmware push where I now need to pay a subscription to use my product. Wile that risk with Unifi doesn’t seem to be zero, it seems close to zero.

I’ve been comparing managed switches that are 2.5Gbps all day and honestly Unifi isn’t that expensive, it’s often the cheapest option. The price jumps like crazy once you want a switch that’s managed and 2.5Gbps

Right now I’m struggling to figure out what hardware to buy The Zyxel XGS1210-12 seems perfect but it won’t fit in a 10" rack

Mainly I like tinkering and building my own server and systems.

I’d like to have different VLAN’s so that I can keep Home Assistant, sus wifi devices, my services, my personal network, and a guest network separate

I’ll probably add more mini-PC’s or hardware as time goes by, so it being future proof-ish would be great

All those that I like are taken

The age of the internet really left an impact. My name has an accent in one of the letters, there is no way I’m going to give my kid a name like that, just because Computers. Would have loved to use name.surname more but yea both are common so there are thousands of us, never been able to do that.

Fair, but I’m okay with that in some cases. My spelling is dogshit, but I almost always have spell check to save my ass and I’m okay with that

Thanks, I hope that’s not the case, but if it is they can keep it, I’m not going to support those kinds of practices

It can help me write half decently with little effort though. My writing sucks

Try explaining that last one to someone over the phone

I live in Amsterdam, Noord is nice but not as nice as the old city.

Amsterdam Centraal sucks because it’s overrun by tourists and tourist traps, but if you cycle ~7min East, South or West then it’s a really nice relaxing old city, with small walkable streets and very little cars.

Noord is fairly newly build, and sadly the vast majority of it has big wide open streets focused around cars. (by Dutch standards)

Ah I see, thanks for the info. Sad that people find themselves in these situations, or I should say, sad that we created a world like this.

Does the EU take them in and take care of them? Do they work like very low skilled jobs or something?

I assume they are asylum seekers and don’t have passports, I wonder if they end up in asylum centres or try to fly under the radar.

What happens to these migrants once they land?

Like the ones where the boat makes it

Yea I realised I might be misinformed so I phrased it as a question to try and find out what I might be missing

Denmark built concentration camps? Really. You want to compare what Denmark is doing to concentration camps?

What solution do you propose then? What Sweden did clearly isn’t working, and what many other countries are doing is fueling the far right movement. Did you even watch the video?
