Good pirates firewall their loot anyway.

Yeah it helps the Ukrainians, but that’s the only valid use, and 4000+ satellites for basically only war seems like a bad idea. Cell phone 5G service will be cheaper in peacetime, and wartime has other communication platforms.

Uhh sorry but this line of thought seems pretty incoherent. Its use case clearly goes beyond just war (e.g. coverage of rural and wild areas where a land line or 5G will not be economical), since StarLink has gone online pretty much every global super power has started or announced building their own constellations, and during wartime you want to have as much redundancy in your systems as you can get, especially so in your lines of communication. And Ukraine is using it right now, during wartime. I can’t follow this logic at all.

So it’s either a Chrome thing or a Mac and Chrome thing.

Neither really, it’s a font thing. I see a wooden wheel in the page title, a car wheel in my tab bar, and it’s missing in the window title.

liveuamap.com reports there was a second plane owned by Prigozhin in the air, so my conspiracy theory is he got wind of the impending assassination, swapped the passenger lists, and will be announcing his “March of Justice” 2.0 shortly.

Healthcare could definitely be better, but 67% of Americans are satisfied with their insurance.

No offense, but this sounds a bit like asking the congenitally blind if they miss seeing.

No, they are owned by HMD Global which is a company that was initially comprised mostly of former Nokia executives. They produce in China though (like everybody else).

Yes, the Nokia X10. Worked rather well over the last two years, although the only thing I can compare it to are devices I got from work (mostly older Samsungs with a ton of crapware).

The third iteration of Nokia is back to building phones, and the smartphones they sell are part of the Android One program (stock Android, two years of updates guaranteed).

1. What would be the advantage of running Nextcloud as a docker, instead of within a VM?

   • No idea really beyond the usual VM/container trade-offs, I guess it would allow you to use orchestration tools and similar for Docker.

2. What would be a sensible way to have an incremental/differential backup of the VM/Docker?

   • If you use Proxmox as your hypervisor it comes with a sophisticated backup solution, probably the same for ESXi or whatever. Not sure about Docker.

3. The storage usage of my Nextcloud instance exceeds 1TB. If I run it within a VM, I will have to connect it to a 2TB SSD. Does it make sense to add the external storage space to the VM? […]

   • That’s what I would do at least. Connecting external storage space to a VM/container is relatively trivial and Nextcloud recommends to separate binaries and data directory anyway. Plus this allows you to use different backup strategies for data versus binaries+metadata.

In case you haven’t yet, I’d also recommend taking a look at this: https://github.com/nextcloud/vm

It’s basically a collection of three shell scripts to install, manage, and update Nextcloud. Last time I tried it also worked on LXC/LXD, not only VMs. It would probably work on Docker as well and has some files related to that in the migrate/docker directory.
