  • Sorry, but religion has nothing to do with beliefs. Why do people always mix those? There’s also a difference between stealing for hunger and joining a drug cartel. You join a religion and take over their “beliefs”.

    Religion is for the mentally handicapped who can’t think for themselves but need a group who tells them what to think. So they feel “connected”.

    Besides that intermixing of terms, you’re not wrong. Have a belief. We all believe something, even if it’s nothing. I even love talking about people’s beliefs. As long as they’re in no cult (or religion), as i don’t want to interact with those. It’s like talking with a plant.



  • Multiple hosts. Win2024/hyperv and proxmox

    • domain/dns/dhcp/ncp 2x
    • pihole
    • iobroker (smarthome)
    • sonarr/radarr/orowlarr
    • emby
    • sabnzbd
    • vpn-vm for torrent/soulseek
    • searxng
    • dav for calendar

    • firefly (banking)

    And some minor, less important ones.

    All backup to a central server, which does a daily backup of the backup onto another nas. In case of emergency,just grab nas.



  • They could simply

    A) dislike X

    B) hate/despise X

    C) came to the logical conclusion, that X is bad/wrong/shouldn’t be/whatever

    D) genereally mistrusting against X due to a careful nature

    E) have had traumatic experience with X (e.g. Being raped/attacked by a member of a specific ethnicity) and hence totally overreacting to an otherwise harmless stimulus, even forgetting the rules of civil behaviour

    Those all don’t mean there’s the medical condition of a phobia for X.

    A real xenophobic has an irrational fear of anything unknown/alien. Doesn’t mean the person just hates e.g. Mexicans for no real reason. It might even like them once they get to know the better, which often just won’t happen as phobics tend to avoid the cause their phobia instead of treating it.

    I just dislike the lax use of medical terms until they’re bereft of any real meaning.

    So, a person who yanks “speak English!” to someone, could have many reasons to do. None are neither polite nor politically correct. While the asshole is probably just the uneducated asswipe, the phobic could be helped and probably even feels bad afterwards for being so compulsive and insulting.




  • I dunno how that would be a trustworthy gauge. We talk here and i still don’t know the content of that video 😁

    Sure, to each his own, but still…it’s lemmy, not reddit. And also this is a linux-post. I wonder how the efficiency of Linux goes with the inefficiency of videos with ads in it. But that’s just me, and I’m just annoyed by no client (that i know of) having such simple feature to just ignore video-posts, especially if it’s YouTube. Or just links to reddit or even nastier paywalls. Even if i might miss a good discussion or real information in the comments i would never see.

    Though, Of course, you’re not wrong with all you said.


  • Oh no, don’t get me wrong. Of course Youtube isn’t evil/bad per se. It totally has a reason to exist. And of course youtubers make videos. And yes, i simply don’t consume YouTube unless i have to.

    But, i am not on Youtube here. I am not here to grant someone a buck for a view. I don’t want advertisement. And i certainly don’t want videos. It personally pisses me off that i so often click on an interesting post here (lemmy in general) just to end up paywalled or in a damn video. That is all. I’d love a simple feature to opt out of posts that just advertise their youtube-video. If I’d want that, I’d go to, well, Youtube 😁

    Not ranting about the existence of this video (it might be awesome, what do i know), but it’s just totally misplaced imho.

    Like i wouldn’t want to browse YouTube to find videos of a picture or a text. Yeah sure it’s called “social MEDIA”, which includes all media. I’d just love to select what to consume.

    Well, it’s a hobby/passion. Simple as that. I’m a nerd, i love such things. And home automation is a thing I’ve dreamt of since the first automatic door in star trek. Automatic lights, alarm-system, cameras, a smart AI (locally, no stupid alexa et al),a tablet at the door which tells us everything we want to know on a quick glance (weather, shopping-list, fuel-prices, status of all machines etc). And all that with some many thousand lines of code and triple redundancy 😍

    When i visit other people I actually find it “retro” to use light-switches 😁
