Need help setting up a software RAID 1 through Calamares Installer (Debian 13 Trixie)
Hello,
For some time now I've been really struggling to get a server setup properly with RAID 1. This is an NVR system for cameras, I want to use XFS with this system. I would love if someone could help me or link me to a guide, I cannot find one. Encryption is preferred. A step by step, guide would be great, drop an XMR address and I will send you a tip for your help!
Thank you! 😀

Obama and those 'democrats'
Obama won a noble prize in 2009. After that, he promptly:
- 2011 attacked Lybia, effectively creating concentration camps for migrants under unchecked warlords.
- Pakistan Yemen and Somalia drone bombing. He is the responsible of a certain unmanned militarization which is trendy now.
- Operation Inherent Resolve vs. ISIS in Iraq/Syria. Carpet bombing at its finest
- de facto approve honduras coup, creating millions of refugees.
- never ever even mitigate Cuban embargo.
USA liberals love him. The black face of white imperialism.
In this context, although deranged because of dementia, trump is not entirely wrong.
Who could really believe Obama deserved a nobel for peace.
US tariffs are paid almost entirely by Americans, a German study finds
The brunt of US tariffs — 96% — have been paid by US buyers, research from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German think tank, found, while about 4% of the tariff burden was paid by foreign exporters.
"American importers and consumers bear nearly all the cost," the researchers said of the tariffs. The study, published Monday, said that the $200 billion increase in customs revenue that the US government raised in 2025 was a "tax paid almost entirely by Americans."
The research contradicts Trump's messaging that tariff costs would not be paid by Americans, but by other countries and overseas exporters. The president's aggressive tariff policy launched last year placed additional duties on dozens of trade partners, including China, India, and the European Union.

Should I delete my existing bad social medias accounts or just let them die by stagnation?
For some of them I kind of lost access so I would need to write emails to instagram or whatever, for others I would need to remember and to access to each one of them and delete them.
The hardest would be gmail with people having my contacts from like 10 years ago..
like this
With "deletion" you're simply advancing the moment, they're supposedly "deleting" your data; something I refuse to believe, they actually do. Instead, I suspect they "anonymize", or effectively "pseudonymize" the data (as cross-referencing is trivial, when showing equal patterns on a new account; would the need arise). Stagnation wouldn't require services to take such steps, and any personal data remains connected to you, personally.
For the Gmail account, I would recommend: not deleting the account, opening an account at a privacy-respecting service (using Disroot as an example), connect the Gmail account to an email-client (like Thunderbird), copy all its contents (including 'sent' or other specific folders) to a local folder (making sure to back these up periodically), delete all contents from the Gmail server, and simply wait for incoming messages, at the now empty Gmail account.
If a worthy email comes in: copy it over to the local folder, and delete it from the Gmail server. For used services, you could change the contact address to the Disroot account, and for others you could delete them, or simply mark them as spam (and periodically emptying the spam-folder). You may not want to wait for privacy-sensitive services, to finally make an appearance, and change these over to the Disroot address right away.
I've been doing this for years now, and my big-tech accounts remain empty most of the time. Do make sure to transfer every folder, and make regular backups!

What are the fastest moving objects with some mass in everyday life?
I was watching a SciFi tv show where large objects had an outer speed limit of 18000 kph and that got me wondering what things in everyday life are faster than even 500 kph.
I know bullets can be fast, but they are not exactly everyday life (at least in my life).
I included mass for obvious relativistic reasons.
Satellites are visible and move at some km per second. Pretty fast
Inside the atmosphere anything faster than some hundreds km/h get so much drag that they either are extremely small (bullets) or extremely powerful (planes, maglev trains)

Swiss messaging service Threema is being acquired by German investment company Comitis Capital
Translated from German (with DeepL):
The Swiss messenger service Threema is being acquired by the German investment company Comitis Capital. Both the company and Threema itself emphasize that the arrival of the new investor will not lead to any significant changes for the time being. The company headquarters and servers will remain in Switzerland, and the management team will stay unchanged.
A financial investor with a broad portfolio
Comitis Capital is a young private equity firm, not a technology company. It invests in various industries, including a UK-based supplier of vegan meat alternatives and a manufacturer of dog accessories.Its business model consists of providing financial support to promising companies so that they can grow and establish themselves internationally. “Comitis now clearly sees this potential in Threema too,” says SRF digital editor Tanja Eder.
Data protection as a business model
The strong focus on data protection is considered a key strength of the messenger. Precisely because US tech companies are coming under increasing criticism and digital sovereignty is gaining in importance, Comitis sees this aspect as a clear unique selling point.Whether this will remain the case in the long term is unclear, according to Eder. If Comitis were to conclude at some point that it would be more profitable to collect Threema customer data or sell the company, no one could prevent them from doing so.
Trust in the authorities remains an issue
In Switzerland, federal authorities and the military also use Threema for internal communication. Even though everyone involved is aware that there is no such thing as absolute security, Threema still has advantages over its competitors.For example, Threema's source code is openly accessible. Experts in the fields of data protection, IT security, and research regularly check whether the company is keeping its promises. Government agencies can also carry out their own checks.
Hardly any alternatives on the market
Good alternatives to Threema are rare. “Apart from WhatsApp, which dominates the market, there is simply not much room for other messenger services,” notes the digital editor.Signal is considered another secure messenger alongside Threema. However, it is operated from the US, albeit by a non-profit foundation and financed by donations. In Switzerland, Proton offers encrypted emails, but does not have its own messenger service.
“Given this limited offering, we can only hope that privacy-friendly communication services will gain in importance in the future,” says Eder.

Alternatives to dice systems?
Dice are pretty much synonymous with RPGs, but there are a few rare systems that forego them altogether, like Castle Falkenstein.
What are some other systems that don't use dice? Are there any that completely remove luck/random chance on "important player actions"?
Are there any RPGs set in a Everdell/Root kind of setting?
Hi all, hope this is the right place to put a question like this.
I am looking for a potential roleplaying game to play with my kid (9 years), but there is absolutely no interest for anything fantasy or sci-fi. Just a love of anything animals and recently we discovered Everdell as a cool boardgame for our family. Root is another boardgame that in style would fit our interests.
Does anyone know of any roleplaying game featuring animals having jobs, building communities? Fighting monsters or evil dudes is not completely off the table I think, I am sure I could tone that down myself if necessary. Bonus plus if it features art like the two games I mentioned.
Thanks!

Building the world's first open-source quantum computer
cross-posted from: lemmy.today/post/45948628
Researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are prioritizing collaboration over competition to advance quantum computer development and the field of quantum information. They are doing this through Open Quantum Design (OQD), a non-profit organization that boasts the world's first open-source, full stack quantum computer.OQD was co-founded in 2024 by faculty members in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and IQC, Drs. Crystal Senko, Rajibul Islam and Roger Melko, alongside CEO Greg Dick (BSc '93).
The group is helping reshape how quantum research is shared, opening doors for the next generation of quantum scientists, and even seeding new quantum startups.
"We are offering a shared hub where groups can contribute what they're comfortable sharing and, as a non-profit, we can be transparent about real progress without commercial pressures," Senko says.
OQD's stack spans hardware, the electronic and computing layers that run it, and open software. Their quantum computer uses ion-trapping, which involves isolating charged atoms (ions) in a vacuum and manipulating them with lasers and electromagnetic fields. This isolation allows the atoms to act as quantum bits (qubits), storing and processing information with carefully controlled interactions.

Micron to boost DRAM output with $1.8bn chip fab buy
Seriously, what the fuck is going on with fabs right now?
Micron has found a way to add new DRAM manufacturing capacity in a hurry by acquiring a chipmaking campus from Taiwanese outfit Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC).The two companies announced the deal last weekend. Micron’s version of events says it’s signed a letter of intent to acquire Powerchip’s entire P5 site in Tongluo, Taiwan, for total cash consideration of US$1.8 billion.

Iran’s Protest Crackdown Followed a China Playbook. There’s a Reason for That.
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/49277108
Archived[...]
In 2024, [Ahmad-Reza Radan, Iran’s police chief and a vocal supporter of employing force against protesters] visited China and signed a “memorandum on law enforcement cooperation” with China’s minister of public security, Wang XiaoHong, pledging to “upgrade law enforcement and security cooperation” and “strengthen practical collaboration in areas such as counterterrorism” to contribute to regional stability, according to China’s Xinhua state news agency. Neither Xinhua nor IRNA, Iran’s own state news agency, released the memorandum’s full text.
[...]
The People’s Public Security University of China, the country’s top police academy, has run “Advanced Iranian Police Officers Training Programs” since 2015, organized by China’s Ministry of Public Security, according to Chinese school materials and state media reports reviewed by Kharon. Such Iranian cooperation appears to have deepened since, and in 2018, Iran’s National Police University signed a formal agreement institutionalizing more exchange and training programs.
The relationship remains active. On December 25, 2025, just days before Iran’s protests erupted, its ambassador to China visited the People’s Public Security University, pledging to continue “pragmatic cooperation in law enforcement and security,” according to a school press release.
[...]
Tiandy Technologies, a Chinese provider of video surveillance tech, has built deep roots in Iran—and in China’s security establishment.
Its equipment, which flows through sales agents into a country where surveillance technology has reportedly been used to monitor the protests and track dissidents, offers one link between China’s security industry and Tehran’s monitoring capabilities.
[...]
Tiandy Technologies says on its website that it has worked in China's public security sector for more than 20 years, serving clients including the Ministry of Public Security, which awarded it a first-class science and technology award in 2018.
[...]
Tiandy Center is a subsidiary of Iran-based Ati Negar Basir Elektronik Company and a self-described “distributor of Tiandy Products.” An archived version of its website from July 2025 listed 18 offices across Iran and advertised that if a company becomes a Tiandy representative in Iran, it can also represent other Chinese video-surveillance brands, including Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd. The U.S. added both those companies to the Entity List in 2019, citing their roles in China’s repression and “high-technology surveillance” of minorities, and it later designated both as companies in China’s military industrial complex.
Elm va Sanat Hafez Gostar Company is another distributor of Tiandy products in Iran. According to an archived version of its website from last month, the company listed Iranian government entities as its customers, including the Iran Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and the national traffic police. In addition to Tiandy products, Elm va Sanat Hafez Gostar also said it was a representative for Hangzhou Hikvision and Zhejiang Dahua.
[...]
In response to Iran’s protests and crackdown, China has staked out a clear public position: for its security and trading partner’s “stability” and against U.S. intervention.
“We hope the Iranian government and people will overcome the current difficulties and uphold stability in the country,” a Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman said at a press briefing Wednesday. China opposes, she added, “external interference in other countries’ internal affairs.”

Also, the economic crisis in Iran is mostly created by Western sanctions, so if we really cared about Iranians, we would stop that.
Yes, the Western sanctions hurt the Iranian society, and I am all in for ending this. I have not looked myself into the data and my knowledge of the Iranian economy is very limited, but what I hear and read from those who do is that ordinary citizens in Iran wouldn't benefit much from the country's wealth even if sanctions were lifted. This is one reason why people demand a regime change.

in reply to Zeon • • •/dev/md127is probably a raid 1 from a previous installation. Assuming you don't need the data on it, you can either delete or ignore it.I'm not familiar with this exact installer, but I have installed Debian a bunch before. Judging by what I'm seeing here, you probably need to do a bit of manual labor. I'm guessing you first create partition tables (usually gpt), then raid partitions, then combine them into a raid, and maybe then put lvm on top of that again, and finally a filesystem. If you're planning to go the lvm route you probably want to create a smaller raid on the start of the disk for
/boot(250-500MB should suffice) separate from the lvm, because last I checked you can't boot from an lvm volume.like this

There's the general idea. I have no idea if calamares can do this though. In general I've found anything more than basic partitioning you'll have to do it manually on the command line on a live cd then go install it normally using the installer and selecting the disks you created.

in reply to Zeon • • •Partitioning in the Debian installer being half-broken is something nobody talks about but IME still a thing.
What do is step through the installer to the point where you're at, ctrl+F* to get a shell, set it up manually using fdisk/mdadm/lvm/cryptsetup/mkfs, and then back again to rescan and just assign the mounts and filesystems
I think I still have a half-written guide for just this in drafts somewhere actually. If you get stuck you can DM and maybe I dig something up

in reply to Zeon • • •Will be curious what solution you come up with. I tried to do this with my current Debian installation but never quite got it to boot off the RAID-1 array. In the end just went without RAID on the drive with Debian installed, maybe will re-attempt next time I do an OS install. I do have mdadm RAID-1 working normally for my data drives, just not the boot drive... you technically could just do that if you want to have your RAID-1 data drives separate from your OS boot drive.
Can't comment on the Calameres installer but the regular Debian installer does detect RAID configurations from other mdadm setups. So you could either create your RAID-1 configuration in the shell during the Debian install or even create it in another Linux boot shell before jumping into the Debian installer. e.g. booting any live Linux with mdadm in it, configure the RAID-1 there, then boot into the Debian installer - the Debian installer will know there's a prior RAID-1 on those disks and allow you to proceed with installing on the array if you wanted.
What tripped me up afterwards was trying to get it to boot off that RAID-1 afterwards, that part is not so straightforward. The link in the other comment does go into that so maybe it'll helpful.
