At a birthday in #trondheim yesterday two people kept playing the 1938 song #erika on their phone. Tried to reasonably explain the problem with it, yet they kept insisting „it’s a love song!“ One of them even asked me if I am Jewish, as he assumed that’s why I’m offended, after they kept bringing the song up the whole evening. At some point I just left, quite angry. First time I encountered this in #norway , still a bit speechless.

Trump’s regime knows they cannot silence us all through investigations, prosecutions, or even the deployment of brutal secret police. They can only attempt to silence dissent through fear. As long as we choose not to give in to fear, we cannot be silenced. Join us to say NO KINGS: nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivi…
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power belongs to the people.
Would like to make a pitch to the organizers to integrate musical performances into these protests. Whether they are local groups playing the old standbys or popular artists lending their voices, protest music has always been a big part of successful grass roots movements.
Koalition denkt über Abschaffung einer #Pflegestufe nach Das Wegfallen derselben führt zu weniger finanziellen Pflegeleistungen und Hilfen, was sowohl für #Pflegebedürftige als auch pflegende Angehörige eine erhebliche Mehrbelastung bedeutet. Dies betrifft materielle Unterstützung, sozialrechtliche Ansprüche und die Vereinbarkeit von Pflege und Beruf
Sie versuchen in geeignet Manier auch an den Schwächsten der Gesellschaft schadlos zu halten.
Die deutsche Gesellschaft wird immer älter – und gleichzeitig fehlt es der Pflegeversicherung massiv an Geld. Die Koalition soll deshalb nun Leistungskürzungen in Betracht ziehen. Hunderttausende wären davon betroffen.
My Linux learning and Homelab setup is going smoothly and after a long period of stagnation, I'm in a new learning curve 😁 ! I just learned the magic of hard links and implemented them with bind mounts (yeah hard links only work on the same file system 😛) to my Qbittorrent scripting to automagically move them as hard links to a bind mount accessible to Sonarr, Radarr, Jellyfin... and move, rename and do all other things without even touching the original files: PUR MAGIC !
Everything is a file? Naah, everything is a hard link ! (Or inode? xD)
While I'm overjoyed I learned and have a better understanding of files, hard links, soft links, file system, docker, web, all kind of things related to IT... I'm getting kinda overwhelmed of what's happening on my system !!
I have a dozen docker compose on my server, all behind traefik resolved by my piHole DNS on a raspberry pi, some have a custom image made by myself for certificate purpose or some manual changes I added.
I have some .config files in my ~/ to improve my micro experience and make it more integrated over SSH with my Mac and Desktop. If also have some config files in my /root directory for my miniCA for all my service with my personal local domain name and other config files like /etc/bash_aliases and some changes in /etc/bash.bashrc
I have some python .venv for learning and scripting with python
I have a complex and long bash script backup for all my docker containers to back up my volumes, config files and media files separately
Installed some useful and needed packages like resolvconf, wireguard, samba...
I have a few samba shares, all accessible in my LAN with sometimes some exotic configuration for Mac integration
My docker containers have some bind mounts shared volumes
[....]
And now I also have some hard links lying around in the mix ! So I have to say it out loud: I'm OVERWHELMED !
Yes, I do keep some notes in Obsidian and also have a self-hosted Forgejo to keep my notes updated and have some kind of version control of changes in my scripts, but I do feel like I'm not sure anymore what I have... Not to say I didn't mention all the other stuff related to my phone (baikal, ntfy....) or how to keep everything updated (WUD does the trick for containers 😀) and tidy...
I guess I'm looking for something magic, something that could In ONE blink give me what's doing what and where? And changes my life for an ever-growing IT space ? Preference something visual...?
I hope to hear from you guys on what I can do to take away this feel of being lost and not being able to fully track my systems and my LAN !
1) Simplify. You've made a system more complex than it needs to be. Copy files rather than working around hard link limitations. Use off-the-shelf backup solutions. Have a single file server with a known location for all your mounts. Etc.
2) Automate. Not with bespoke bash scripts but with tools like ansible and terraform. These tools are built to help manage infrastructure and configurations.
Everything is a file? Naah, everything is a hard link ! (Or inode? xD)
Yeah I guess I have made it more complex. But what hard links allow me to achieve is to save disk space while still working on the file without changing the original one. Imagine I have to copy my files to sonarr, have a copy in my torrent directory and also a backup on an external disk... That's alot of space ! This may be a simpler solution, but only If you have money to spare on disk space. Yes, it's "cheap" when you have a bank account and money lying around, but that's not the case for everyone :/. I think the ARR* stack works similarly and works with hard links !
Oh... never heard of Terraform, will have a look, thanks for the pointer !
Hard links are files…
I guess so, but files are just links pointing to inodes ? 😀 Sorry If I'm wrong here, and please give me the proper knowledge If you are willing to share 😀
Edit: After some reading, I think Ansible seems a better fitting. Terraform is more for creating infrastructures while Ansible to manage them and configure them?
I'm not sure how the *arr stuff works but hard links don't let you "edit a file while preserving the original" - they let you have mulltiple paths to the same file.
$ echo "hello" > file1
$ ln file1 file2
$ echo "world" > file2
$ cat file1 file2
world
world
Does *arr have some sort of copy-on-write behavior? Some modern file-systems have de-duping behavior and copy-on-write built in that you may be able to save some space with.
But the point of topic 1 was to simplify. You can keep doing your hardlink stuff but standardize it and simplify setup/configuration. If you always do things in the same way it's less complicated to keep track of and fix.
You've understood the difference in terraform/ansible, and yeah terraform is probably not going to be as helpful. Ansible would be much more likely to help. It can seem burdensome to have to write configuration files for things at first, but it forces you to do things in a way that is standardized and repeatable.

Ja, aber die Menschheit ist nicht gleichzusetzen mit dem kapitalistischen System. Wir Menschen sind Gemeinschaftswesen, Kapitalismus ist ein Ausbeutungssystem.
Die Abhängigkeit von der Arbeit der Menschen in einer Gemeinschaft ist Arbeitsteilung und im Optimalfall gut für alle. Ein Mensch alleine kommt nicht weit. Nenn es Makel, wir haben ihn durch Arbeitsteilung überwunden.
Es geht mir nicht um Rhetorik sondern Solidarität und Überleben.
"Exploit" is a loaded term. It can mean to take unfair advantage of; it can also simply mean to make productive use of. I "exploit" the photoelectric effect every time I use a solar panel; is that objectionable?
I find it reprehensible to take advantage of others unfairly; I do not at all mind people being put to productive use. My students "exploit" my knowledge of physics; that is, they make productive use of me as a teacher. To which no reasonable person objects.

"[A] pending bill in Congress level aims to protect just one of the impacted groups — lawmakers — not just from data brokers but from reporters and activists as well. The bill, sponsored by Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Ted Cruz, does nothing for the rest of us except undermine our ability to hold lawmakers accountable. It would allow members of Congress to remove information about themselves from the internet altogether, regardless of whether data brokers are involved.
But even more strangely, the legislation falls short of its own goal of stopping data brokers, and therefore won’t make members of Congress safer. As a coalition of rights groups explained recently, the bill falls short of what we should expect from Congress, in terms of both efficacy and transparency.
The bill wouldn’t adequately protect lawmakers from data brokers because it wouldn’t apply to certain data brokers at all.
The bill specifically exempts any data broker covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, a federal law governing the collection and use of consumer information, or the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act, a federal law that protects sensitive data held by financial institutions.
This loophole means that bad actors could still buy lawmakers’ private information from data brokers..."
"The bill’s provisions empowering lawmakers to scrub the internet of personal information about them would seriously harm speech and press freedom," Caitlin Vogus writes.
Really good interview with Green MP Chloe Swarbrick, on Gary's Economics. She certainly understands (and can articulate) the inequality and regressive taxation problem we have here in NZ - and thinks it is one of our biggest problems, as I do. Can she get enough support in NZ to make some progress?
She points out what people outside NZ are often surprised to learn - our taxation system is one of the most regressive in the world. No tax-free thresholds on income, no inheritance taxes and almost no taxes on capital or capital gains.

Rob and I do a detailed review of the - ‘two bottle of wine problem’ - NHSbuntu project which we built together back in 2017, relating how we used the great work already existing in the Linux and Open Source community to quickly put together a fully-functional, NHSmail-ready, stable, secure, legacy-app-friendly and low cost operating system for the NHS. With help from our friends (shout out to Brett Jackson, Cián Hughes, Rani Sen, NHS Spine Team, NHS Digital Delivery Centre, and others) we quickly had a working NHS Spine Identity Agent, and we virtualised/containerised anything that looked like it wasn’t fit to face the ravages of the internet. Then we got shut down. Here’s the story.
…There could have been a world in which QRISK3 was pre-installed on every desktop in the NHS instead of Minesweeper…
The NHSbuntu and NHoS (National Health Operating System) project was a significant grassroots, volunteer-led effort that captured the imagination of many in the UK's health tech community.1 Its story is as much about its technical ambition as it is about the challenges of working with large public institutions.
The project was largely driven by a small team of core volunteers, who were also health professionals and technologists, giving them a unique perspective on the challenges they were trying to solve.2
Dr. Marcus Baw: A General Practitioner (GP) and technologist, he was a co-founder of the project.3 Dr. Baw was a prominent voice in the open-source community and a "clinical informatician." He played a crucial role in advocating for the project's goals and was often the public face of the team, blogging and speaking about their work.
Rob Dyke: Described as the project's "ISO-master" and a technologist, Dyke was instrumental in the technical development of the operating system itself.4 He was responsible for building the custom Ubuntu distributions (ISOs) and working on key features like smart card integration.
Community: The project's developers actively fostered a community on platforms like openhealthhub.org, encouraging contributions from other IT staff, clinicians, and enthusiasts within the NHS.
The NHSbuntu/NHoS project began in early 2017, spurred by the need for a more secure, cost-effective, and flexible alternative to the NHS's heavily Microsoft-reliant IT infrastructure.7 The WannaCry cyber-attack in May 2017, which severely disrupted NHS services, highlighted the vulnerabilities the project aimed to solve, giving it a surge of public attention and support.8
In January 2018, the project was officially shut down.15 The developers, led by Dr. Baw, cited the constant legal threats and a lack of high-level support from key NHS bodies like NHS Digital as the reason for closing the project.
They felt they were being "used as leverage" in internal discussions about a new enterprise-wide agreement with Microsoft, and that despite interest from "grass-roots" IT staff, the higher echelons were not interested in backing an open-source alternative.16
The project remains an important case study in the challenges of introducing grassroots open-source initiatives into a large, politically sensitive, and highly bureaucratic public sector organization
A volunteer-led project to tailor the Linux open source operating system for use within the NHS has been axed after receiving a second trademark infringement letter threatening action from the Department of Health for breach of copyright.

The image shows a close-up view of a natural surface with two distinct areas. On the left side, there is a vibrant green patch of moss, characterized by its dense, soft, and fuzzy texture. The moss appears healthy and well-nourished, with a rich green color that suggests it is thriving in its environment. On the right side, the surface is covered with a mixture of small, light-colored pebbles and gravel, creating a rough and uneven texture. The pebbles vary in size and color, with shades of white, gray, and brown, and some darker spots that could be small patches of lichen or dirt. The moss and gravel areas are separated by a distinct boundary, with the moss encroaching slightly onto the gravel area, indicating a natural transition between the two surfaces. The overall composition highlights the contrast between the soft, organic texture of the moss and the hard, inorganic texture of the gravel.
