  • I’d say no. Regardless of it being stolen or not, the amount of damage done with no (read: few?) checks and balances does not present the US as a democracy at all.

    It should have been impossible, but he and his team have found and abused every single legal loophole there is and it does not seem like the majority of politicians are interested in fixing them.

    It’s not trust inspiring when one person can write a presedential order overuling a literal constitunional amendment.

    I don’t hate Americans. Most are great people, but I do hate their rotten to the core political system.














  • Yeah this mirrors my approach to it.

    People can like Trump/Musk or dream of Marxism in practice. I am so far from both ideologies that I find it difficult to relate to either, and end up being called a traitor by the left and a triggered lib/loser by the right. Lemmy is in my experience quite left.

    The political differences have become so extreme that I just avoid any debate at all and stick to the technical stuff and hobbies. My sanity is more important to me than trying to convince someone over the pond that they are wrong.

    Honestly, I just try to live my life as the best person I can be. I’ve gotten to old to try to change anyone else. And I have had some great encounters here, so I am not going back to Reddit anytime soon.

    Stay awesome, people!


  • I plan to use Surveillance Station in my Synology NAS.
    Two PoE cameras on their own physical network. Everything is laying in the closet still as life just gets in the way, but hopefully it will be done this winter or spring.

    I also have a Eufy 2k Doorbell camera with a hub for local storage.

    None of it is for actual protection though, as burglaries are rare here. It’s only because I love tech and to capture interesting moments. I also plan on making time lapses because they are cool.




  • I agree.

    It’s easy to forget how much time and dedication running a custom setup can cost, and that quickly drains whatever wife-acceptance-factor you had left.

    Think of paying for a pre-built NAS less as just overpriced HW, but more as great software features that work out of the box and a dev team improving functionality for you every day.
    It can host a plethora of containers with ease on the side anyways, and if you need something specific that requires more juice: build that on the side and tinker with it.

    N100 mini-PC for instance can host anything but heavy game servers for <15W.
