I took the time to read through this new source. I think this proves the point that the quote is taken out of context. Most importantly it’s not from him. Secondly it’s from a department under his command. If we read the context we see that the quote should be understood as “what could we possibly say to it appears that Israel is no committing war crimes? It’s obvious that they are.” Here is the quote with the context.

The outgoing Dutch Prime Minister is sweeping politically unwelcome information about Israel, such as possible human rights violations, under the rug so as not to offend the United States and protect his prospects for his future job as NATO leader, NRC reports based on an anonymous letter a group of civil servants from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote to the Court of Appeal in The Hague.

“A request from the Ministry of General Affairs to the Legal Affairs Directorate at Foreign Affairs reads as follows,” NRC quoted from the officials’ letter: “What can we say so that it appears that Israel is not committing war crimes?”

Rutte and his Ministers have spoken out about the war, which has cost the lives of around 24,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis so far, multiple times, urging Israel to act within the international rule of law. The Netherlands has never called for a ceasefire, only sticking to appeals for “humanitarian pauses.”

The department’s not saying “please Mr USA what should I say?”. It’s saying “how can we possibly phrase this such that the USA will go along while at the same time not just lying”

I think the difference between the two is the difference between Russian interest level propaganda and geopolitical situations as they are. Aka the U.S. having a disproportionate influence worldwide.

I looked threw the link and don’t see anything that supports the infographic. If anything the article emphasizes how hesitant NL is to support Israel here.

I mean it’s close but it’s no source that can justify the infographic.

I am a bit skeptical this actually happened. The infographic is from a known Russian interests troll and just gives a “trust me bro” source.

I could be proven wrong though.

If I was teaching a media literacy class I would include this infographic as a good example of something that looks like it might have a source but actually does not.

Fair. But that’s not really earth scale thinking in my book. It’s more our best understanding based on what we know.

I know of these theoretical work arounds. They’re more mathematical models that say if such a thing as negative mass exists, then we might be able to go faster than the speed of light. Issue is that the model does nothing to show that negative mass exists.

That and everything we know shows that it does not exist. If it did I would be incredibly happy. It’s just wishful hoping at this point though. We don’t even have a model or theory that shows how negative mass could exist. We only have theories that show what could happen if it did exist.

It’s like saying hm we know how F=m*a works. What could happen if we set m to a negative number? Yah in the math we can but that does not mean we can in reality.

It’s more of a “the speed of light is the cosmic speed limit” way of thinking. If you feel aliens are visiting earth you do you.

Thus the infinite oceans to sift through. 😉

Huh. That’s crazy. And that’s just one cubic light year.

Now if we multiply that cubic light year to match the volume of space we have a similar comparison. Infinite oceans to sift through for a single molecule.

A drop in the bucket isn’t event close to a good understanding of how big space is. A satellite in the ocean is grossly misleading when it comes to the scope of space.

Maybe a single O2 molecule in the ocean might be closer but even then that’s not even close to the scope of space.

Space is big. So big that the light cone of our “pollution” can’t physically interact with most of it even if we did our best to “pollute” as much as we can and some alien species did their best to find that “pollution”. Space is so big that physics dictate the impossibility of our “pollution” interacting with most of space.

Fun fact this is why the chance of aliens visiting us here on earth is basically 0.

You can’t use earth scale thinking, that’s how big space is.

This all being said we should do our best to not pollute the earth. We should use earth scale thinking when it comes to earth.

Space is big enough that even if we tried to “pollute” it we could not. We would need Von Neumann self replicating probes to even stand a chance. But even then if we are talking intergalactic we wouldn’t register.

That’s insane. I would consider a ipv4 -> ipv6 cloud hosted haproxy style setup if this was my only option.

i would just ask for an Ipv4 address. I asked Vodafone for one and they just gave it to me for free.

If you actually read the article it seems pretty factual. It lists Bush’s claims and then has a response. Seems to merit the rating.

The reporting of the Bush administration’s position and the response seems fair.

**IRAQ:**

STATUS: Since 1998, the Iraqi government has barred U.N. weapons inspectors from examining sites where some suspect that nuclear, chemical or biological weapons are made and stored. The United Nations has said it will lift sanctions against the Middle Eastern country -- in place since Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the ensuing Gulf War in 1991 -- only if inspectors can verify that Iraq has dismantled all its weapons of mass destruction. In an editorial this month in a state-run newspaper, Iraq again denied it has or is developing such weapons.

RESPONSE TO BUSH'S SPEECH: "This statement of President Bush is stupid and a statement that does not befit the leader of the biggest state in the world," Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan said Wednesday.

At the cool network kids hate nat. 😤

I don’t think you have Stockholm syndrome. You just like what you already understand well. It’s a normal part of the human condition.

All those features of nat also work with IPV6 with no nat in the exact same way. When I want to open up a port I just make a new firewall rule. Plus you get the advantages of being able to address the ach host behind the firewall. It’s a huge win with no losses.

I think it’s worth taking the time to learn IPv6 property. If you have a good understanding of IPv4 it shouldn’t take you more than an afternoon.

Eliminating NAT and just using firewall rules (ie what NAT does behind your back) is incredibly freeing.

I don’t get people complaining about typing out IPs. I like to give all of my clients full FQDNs but you don’t have to. Just using mDNS would be enough to avoid typing a bunch of numbers.

You shouldn’t have to?? Maybe you might need to change the mask in your firewall settings if the ipv6 allocation block size changes but that should be it.

Everything else should just work as normal.

Yes. The left side of the : in the volume is the file on the host. You can see this directory on the host. The right side of the : is where that directory is replicated into the docker container.

All you need to do is to interact with the directory on the host.

You should use volumes over bind. You just move your media into the volume location on the local host and try will show up in docker. You should never need to ssh or sftp into the container.

There is a lot here but I think the most important thing is that docker containers should always be disposable. Don’t put any data into the container ever.

All of your data and configuration should be done in volumes. Local disk to inside the container is all you really need.

By doing this you make updating any given docker container easy as just pulling the newest tagged version of the container. If you are using docker and not podman you can use tools like watchtower to do this automatically.

As for what distro, it depends on your goals. Do you want to learn and improve your skills? Stick with Fedora or Rocky or Debian or openSUSE. I recommend learning the command line as you go, but if you want a nice UI openSUSE has Yast which is a very robust tool.

If you want to just have a home NAS but don’t want to learn that’s a different question. In this case if you’re getting a proprietary NAS anyway you could just get one that supports docker (like synology) and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

The biggest issue is they require your to give them your rights as they pertain to copyrights.

That means even if you submit MIT or GPL licensed code they can just instantly say “we relicense this code as proprietary” and there is nothing anyone can do.

They rejected a bunch of valid PRs. Including the one linked here because the author refused to assigned their copyrights to the Gitea corporation.
