Isn’t matter just a standard, that runs on multiple Protokolls like ZigBee or wifi?

Your phone is one of your backup storages?!

So I am in a vicious cycle. I start doing something, notice there is a better way, change my setup and restart. So from just Ubuntu server, I developed to proxmox. From documenting everything manuall in joplin, i am now using ansible. I started with wireguard, then tailscale with selfhosted headscale. I try to get my setup right on the first try, which i notice is stupid as I am writing. It just hinders me to make progress. I think I should rather try to get it up and running as fast as possible (and securely of cause) to make progress and fail fast maybe? And I like all the changes I made, I think they were the right choice, but its a bit tiering. And I like ansible, I just have the urge to automate absolutely everything, so I can redeploy everything right after I installed proxmox. Which is not necessary at all at this stage, idk :D Maybe someone has some tips how to overcome perfectionism?

Thanks for your reply!

I know about the distribution of power, that has a kind of pyramid shape, sorry for the lack of vocabulary. I have also seen videos, of cause one sided, from people that lived in China for some time and displaying their view. One very popular story is the “they paint their grass green”, which I understood as follows: There is the goal of having a certain amount of green land in the country, so each region trys to reach that goal and show the higher ups how good it is going by having green grass and hills. This is of cause a very simplified scenario, but I have read a few other things that aren’t so great. Of cause you can say the same thing about many other western and global north countries, but very few people are so emotional and strong opinionated as supporters of China, some north korea or Russia. I feel like i have not read a comment with such a strong opinion about any other country here on Lemmy.

I see that the view of most westerns is shifted from reality, but I have not read a comment that seems to see both sides of that country, it seems very extremistic.

Now when I think of China, these things come to mind:

• the Uighurs
• not quite working democracy
• extreme surveillance
• stories of people getting herassed by the police for criticising the state or being different (Naomi Wu on yt for example)
• impressive industrial development in the last few decades
• high working ethics
• creativity in engineering
• skilled labour
• high building rates of solar and renewable energy sources
• also high coal production and high building rates of coal power plants
• high censorship, as it can be seen with deepseek and other AI or media
• stories about testing radioactivity on a village
• striving for higher environmental regulations in the industry
• affiliation with Russia, that invaded Ukraine (after the Nato got closer of cause, which might be seen as a provocative move)
• affiliation with north korea, which is a different conversation
• their problem with Taiwan and tsmc
• hard working conditions in factories (owned by western companies sometimes, but the government is supposed to protect the citizens in my view)

Now this is of cause not at all everything and I am aware its a view fuelled by western media. But if half of those things are true, its still not going great.

I don’t want to talk China down, I want to understand why so many people in this space are pro china, when I see the government as pretty critical. I know the us is putting a ton of effort into discredit other forms of government or markets, and there are for sure a few points in this list that is heavily influenced by them.

I literelly don’t know which “side is right” in this argument. In a country where there is propaganda and social media is strictly moderated by the government and not a lot of independent journalism (like YouTube or blogs even get pressured to shut down) and which has a social score controlling your life and thougs - how would one make a actually independent and fair survey? There is no democracy, so why turn against it if you have no way of changing it?

Of cause we are a bit brainwashed by the west and Chinas enemies and I think trump helped a lot to remove the elusion of a “good and strong america”. But it still feels like the people are more free in the west, we have democracy and solid education and independent social media and journalism which is very important to me.

And its very impressive what China achieved in the short amount of time, compared to the west, industrially speaking. But socially (like what the government does) I really would not want to live there at all.

I feel like many people here on Lemmy have just the same black and white thinking of “china good, murica bad”, which is maybe just as delusional as all the MAGA idiots.

Plus there are many other western countries that are quite solid and doing well mostly, which often get overlooked in this debate

Any thoughts?

Caddy is nice and super simple. Only issue I had was: it can’t control domains if its behind a VPN. I use hetzner and they have an API, but the feature is not native to caddy so I would have had to rebuild caddy as an docker image. Rather annoying tbh, because everything else is great about it

I used the sub feed for years. But then they decoded to remove Videos from the feed, that they thought are not interesting to me. This actually pushed me to use the recommendations… I kind of hate what it is right now, because you can notice the trash that gets flooded into my recommendations. Its not the niche content I have in my sub feed

I haven’t read a single positive comment here, which is to be expected in this community. But to be honest I kind of like the idea of an AI assistant that keeps track of my schedule, knows about my friends and what I am doing. Of cause I would not use gemini and am happy that i dont have to care about it with e/OS. But something that helps me keep track of things and can help me with stuff seems interesting. I’m interested to hear reviews of it

I am sorry to hear that. Do you mean the chaos computer club with CCC? In my experience the CCC is incredible accepting and welcoming for everyone no matter who. I hope you give them another chance, they do important work.

You can, they partner with a mother company

Hetzner offers mail hosting, its in the web package included

Imagine risking to destroy such an essential service that is offered for free, just because they think they could have had more mony. It does not even change anything in the past. They could agree on a deal for the future though to make them happy

I did not know they had a new slogan

Sorry, i thought i was clear.

I used the proxmox ve helper script from here: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to install ha os.

The local domain does not get resolved how it should, i hoped someone here might have hosted ha in proxmox themselves or ran into a similar problem, or could give me a hint what to check

Thanks for the advice, i was thinking about it anyways :) i used the proxmox ve helper scripts: https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to install it

I would not even say so. It tool me maybe a weekend to und erstand the concepts. I had no other selfhosting experience before. Specialy docker compose is almost plug and play

Crossposts Form reddit? I though about building a bot that posts the top 3 posts every day to the correspinding lemmy instance, just to get more posts here.

I Mike lemmy for its very technical posts but sometimes i would like some more shitposts here :D

I recently ready about the atomic bombs again, so the us has quite the history of being a silly goose. The bad part about it, the us does not seem to learn from their mistakes and show remorse, but rather not talk about it and brainwash the west with patriotism

Absolute legend
