  • Not OP, but at least for me when I tried it:

    There was no way to use or even just mount and migrate my existing storage (btrfs+LVM). LVM wasn’t even installed, and when I tried to install it, I got an error saying that apt was disabled on the system, which means I was basically locked out of doing anything more than what they allow you to do on your own hardware.

    It seems like it’s technically open source, but having all the vendor-lock in features and lack of control of a proprietary solution

    The only use case seems for it to be used as a black box appliance:

    • on a new system
    • with empty hard drives
    • only with ZFS
    • without having any control on your own system, except enabling samba etc and maybe installing the predefined Docker containers that they allow you from the web interface

    I knew it is supposed to be only an appliance, but with how much people recommended it, I didn’t thing it would be this closed of a system; I think I’ve read about people doing more things with even just their Synology hardware


  • The renewable energy stuff is expected, but these I find more… interesting:

    • International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance
    • UN Democracy Fund
    • International Law Commission
    • Peacebuilding Commission
    • Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children
    • International Tropical Timber Organization
    • UN Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries;

    “We explicitly state that we don’t care about peace, democracy, and violence against children”

    • Permanent Forum on People of African Descent

    “Also, f*ck African people in particular”

    • UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women
