I would never!
(Beyond what society kinda forces me into, like can’t buy proper local things.)
Just a bit of a joke, and even that with a question mark.
What kind of a stupid protest even is to teabag your own harbour?


We gonna throw (now Chinese) Teslas into the North Sea?
Maybe them pickup trucks & call it a Hamburg truck party?


They will have WiFi AP.
And this is just me, but I never had to troubleshoot the OS part of the OpenWRT or OPNSense.


They think that would cost them significantly more that 250m.


UK wants so many treaties signed with EU, just make it a hard requirement. The EU has always been so lenient towards UK mostly bcs of USA geopolitical power (more than UK’s), and the USA is def losing influence.


My default suggestion is an used consumer PC (same gamers non-pre-built if possible bcs of the slightly better parts, but standard office shit works too), swap out the PSU for something top tier (by which I don’t mean super expensive, tho I do look at efficiency tests at low end bcs my serves idle a lot), and ofc storage for something enterprise.
For CPU it depends what you need, but idle power consumption of average desktop CPUs are pretty matched (no sense of getting a Pentium over eg i7), I would say (bcs of market prices & availability) some Intel 10+gen (i7? … but whatever really) or AMD 5000+ (I found a few 59x0 at good p/p value).
Consumer hardware is easier to work with & easier to make the rig silent for your usecase (that’s why I also like Exos & Red Plus drives). If you want additional quiets on top you can get a case with those (dense) foams.
Also crucially all my HDDs (even in early 2000s) have been in these 5.25"cages/adapters with fans (noisily drives give off noise directly & via case vibrations … also in one case I don’t even have them in 5" bays, they are just bolted to the bottom of the case):
(Various designs, I even made them diy 20 years ago, but they are super cheap today - the point being that the HDDs metal doesn’t touch the case, not even via a bolt.)
I prefer less redundancy in one server vs having two of them as copies (maybe have a secondary location) but cram as much as possible in one server bcs I don’t need more (router is a separate box, but out of practical & second-hand-finds reasons).


We don’t even need hope for Microsoft/Windows, hoping for that just means hoping for more shit (but slightly less worse than Linux emulation of Windows games than atm).


It’s not the worst possible for the few in position to profit from it. Just for everyone & everything else.


Just regulate the social media megacorps, not the access to them. I don’t wanna present by papers at every military security checkpoint on my internets.


Yeah, I hate it bcs it’s just an intentional scam - and since the title is such an easy lie then prob everything is.


Much fox,
very lion.


“Quietly™” by posting about it beforehand everywhere they could.


Pilots are forced to supplement their income by selling feet pics.


Yay for fibre!
I can hardly imagine the last few decades without it.
Reading horror stories on the internet about downloading games for a day feels like reading about a starving village without roads.
Same with GSM data (we had GPRS, UMTS, etc about when they came out). Or the price of an SMS in late 90s/early 2000. Imagine not having unlimited SMS as a teen.
It’s wild that rich, developed countries lacked basic infrastructure, and then they overpaid sooo much for it.


Western & south Europe (not exactly all countries) has fibre in like remote villages.


Yes, what you would expect from the name, but just a tiny bit more than that as it deals with (indirectly) promotions and wage gaps too, companies need to incorporate & codify wages a bit further than just how much of a fight an individual worker gives up.
The basic thing is that every job position needs to have a wage specification.


Oh ffs.
We’ve been doing the scenic route to fascism for surprisingly long, no need for a speedrun.
There are so few industries that “need” (due to outside pressures/competition/macroeconomics/geopolitics) megacorps and even those should be nationally controlled or a nonprofit simply bcs they are too important & part of general/essential infrastructure.
High-end chip production for example. Maybe batteries in the short-near term.


Does/did (June this year) the new EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970) affect things?
Well, I use it but it’s not directly what I think you are asking about.
I just use Proxmox (hypervisor) to run vm/lxc which run docker - and I just have backup images of those.
It has pros & cons but it’s not a docker backup, it’s just that by chance it’s ok for the little use I need it.
I would go for one of the other recommended solutions but perhaps consider a Proxmox layer underneath if you wanna a full image backup of the server itself.
