    I agree you have it bad there. Unfortunately in politics we have to vote for the least bad option. On all the issue listed though, a lot is due to congress, mainly because people decided that republicans and their idea of not governing is preferable to democrats. Personally, I know the options are very bad, but I the sliver of democracy is still worth it to try to preserve in order to have the option to influence the next time around.

    As I said to people I know, fun. I have fun setting this up. Its a hobby. I like to search for bargains and build the automations. If you don’t have fun doing it, its usually not really worth it. It gets expensive quick and its kind of a lot of work to research and setup if you want to keep your privacy.



  • Je sais que tu relates le raisonnement du gouvernement et pas ta position, mais je voulais faire une reponse à ce genre de commentaire.

    Aider les gens à se déplacer rend ta population plus flexible. Les gens peuvent se trouver des emplois a des endroits où ils ne pouvaient pas avant. Ça donne beaucoup plus de pouvoir de négociation aux employés puisque ça leur donne accès à des emplois qui leurs étaient inaccessibles. Pour les employeurs qui recherchent de la main d’oeuvre qualifiée, ça leur donne accès à un plus grand bassin de main d’oeuvre.

    Voici un rapport de l’APTA qui mentionne un ROI de 5 pour 1. C’est excellent pour l’économie d’investir dans ça.

    L’argument de créer des jobs qui paieront des impôts nest pas génial non plus. Si ça valait la peine, aussi bien créer plein de jobs bidon pcq ils vont payer de l’impôt! La réalité c’est que bien souvent le gros de ces subventions vont dans les poches des propriétaires et on ne revoit jamais la couleur de cet argent. En plus, si on investi cet argent là dans le transport en commun, lui aussi va créer des jobs qui vont payer des impôts. La seule variable différente c’est les profits qui disparaissent.

    Là où je suis plus en faveur c’est que c’est OK de financer quelques industries qu’on veut kickstart, ce qui est le cas ici. Tu en fais mention dans ton commentaire, l’effet de spécialisation est important. Par contre, à mon avis, ça devrait se faire en échange de parts dans ces entreprises.


  • The worst I did is wanting to replace the WAN interface on my Opnsense router. I didn’t check properly and replaced my LAN interface instead, rendering the router inaccessible and fucking up my network. Luckily, its a VM on proxmox that was still accessible from IP. I just opened a console to the VM and found out that the whole configuration is in a file. Also, a copy is saved with every configuration change. I just found the right one to restore and voilà! My network was back up.



  • Lack of knowledge isn’t dumb, it’s just lack of knowledge. You can’t know everything.

    I run 2 docker containers, named slightly differently (my setup is a bit more complicated within a stack though). Then I map a different port for the FR one so it doesn’t conflict. Of course, you need a different config volume. Then once the container is up, you can I link my FR sonarr to my EN one. So when I request something on my EN Sonarr, it also adds it to my FR Sonarr.

    I also do that with movies, but for HD and 4K instead. I manage multi-language differently.

    I’ll PM you for my source of French content.



  • I’ve been an on and off Linux user for a long time, but my main OS used to be Windows. I recently switched to Linux (Arch btw) and I love it.

    For my use cases, here is what I like about windows:

    • Office 365
    • Gaming
    • Onedrive
    • Just works
    • touch screen and touch pad
    • Hardware support
    • Autohotkey (can live without)
    • Software compatibility
    • VR
    • Parsec

    Here is what I like about Linux

    • Dynamic tiling window managers.
    • Customization, I can have my notifications on the top right, the way I like them.
    • Smooth as fuck: very fast!
    • Very clever solutions (looking into NixOS currently for example)
    • Terminal: fun to use and it’s fast!
    • Much more control over my system.

    The things I dislike about windows are mainly that it’s stupid slow compared to Linux and the growing presence of telemetry and ads (though I wasn’t that affected). Also, I can’t replace windows default shortcuts or some functionalities.

    What I dislike about Linux is that there is always something that doesn’t work properly. I currently have issues with DPMS. My laptop has trouble with the behavior if the touchpad, sometimes the gestures work, sometimes they don’t, it depends on its mood I guess. I tried Wayland, but with a nvidia card it has a lot of issues, I had to go back to X which sucks since I really prefer the way wayland works. I’m quite technical, but sometimes the solutions don’t really work.

    I read a few things in this thread that I disagree with though, namely:

    • You can launch apps from PowerShell (terminal)
    • You can have package managers, I used scoop, choco and winget. Every app that I use can be installed and updated with those, from PowerShell.
    • Pretty sure you can update your system from PowerShell, then you probably can make a script to update everything.
    • You can disable auto-updates and auto-reboot in Windows. I never had my computer reboot on me and it stays open 24/7. What I liked is auto-update, but no auto-reboot. I chose when to reboot, only had a notification which was disabled when I was playing a game.
    • There are options for launchers, the windows menu or powertoy run.
    • You can create shortcuts (similar to .desktop) and you can also make a bat script instead of a bash script.

    A lot of comments are about a knowledge deficit, not a capability deficit from Windows.

    I see your point. Considering the consequences of their policies, I think it is ok to call them out. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is any argument to win there and I think the replier knows it. They have a point of view that is not based on science and imo that is devoid of critical thinking. It’s hard to win an argument against that. The only way that I see to sway them would be for it to happen to them directly. And even then, they sometimes prefer to cut ties with their own kids. Having a kid, I just can’t understand that.

    Usually, when I argue with someone, I have 2 goals. The first is to test my ideas and learn new ones. The second is not to win an argument against the person I’m arguing against, but more to sway the bystanders. Those who watch silently. A reply as posted isn’t bad in that regard.
