Your projecting. I literally said in the donation thread that I don’t care if they run their own political server in their own free time with their own resources. It doesn’t matter whether or not I agree with it. What matters is that they want to tell us that we must contribute to their hobby and political crusade. They can make all the poor life choices they want. They just can’t include me or anyone else in it.

Yes i should probably document it just in case as well.

No but thank you. It’s just always been one of those things that only occurs to me for some reason when I couldn’t dive into it. “I’m busy, it would be nice to swipe. I should look into that later”. Later i’ve got plenty of time and don’t mind typing regular. It’s like a vicious cycle lol

Then you’re going to be limited to SMB generally because of windows. If you didn’t need Windows NFS is always the superior choice. But only the pro version of Windows has any NFS support.

Just getting started pretty much any hardware will do. One of the best most accessible ways of doing it is something like a cheap Raspberry Pi computer even two gigabytes of memory is enough to get started. You won’t necessarily need the bigger ones. But generally more tends to be better. Combined with some of the more purpose built OS images for things like open media vault or own cloud. It’s a pretty easy and low bar for entry.

After that it really just depends on your interest, needs, and comfort levels. You could just as easily go into eBay and buy a used $100 E-Waste business Tower. It will give you a bit more swap ability and upgradability where you can add things like 2.5 or 10 gigabit networking if you absolutely need faster. A better method of organizing and mounting storage physically. And a few other amenities. As well as some more options software wise. But if you are really new to this. And you really want to do something a bit more DIY that you control as opposed to something like a Synology Nas. It’s hard to go wrong starting with something like a Raspberry Pi.

Just make sure to keep up on your three two one. Three different copies of your data, on two different types of media, with at least one of them stored off site.

First you need to specify a bit more on what you mean by file server. Are you looking for a network attached storage for home use, or remote use as well? Or are you talking something like a seed box for torrenting Etc. What general software environment will you be working with and what others are you comfortable with.

Lol to accuse you of not liking Lemmy as a platform. It doesn’t get much more strawman. Lol you’re one of the most frequent posters I see on Lemmy in general 😝

Nutomic himself has quite a history with real shitty takes and horrible stances. Including transphobia Etc.

Then there is said flagship instance. It’s run as a leninist Vanguard fiefdom and Echo chamber. Not a development hub. Its lemmy.ml and not lemmy.org for a reason. Much of the most egregious moderation not being done by moderators but administrators. All directly under and at nutomic’s discression. Which people are well within their right to object to. Especially being told their donations must go towards enabling it.

There are a ton of devs out there with shitty politics. But it’s most of them are smart/mature enough to keep them separate.

Is it? Honest question. In general I support the idea of the UN and the spirit of it. What good is it?

Same, so it definitely looks as if it may be just an iOS thing?

Nah the bucks still stop thee, just not accountability.

I never implied wasn’t a cancer. But this situation is like cheering for a brain tumor to kill a patient first before the colon cancer does. When the Palestinian people who are the patient in this analogy are just being ravaged from both ends.

As long as the genocidal Zionist who founded Israel are still in charge of Israel, and as long as they largely have Western support. There is zero militarily, Hama’s can do to make the lives of Palestinians better. Does that mean they shouldn’t fight back? No. But let me ask you this. Can you point to any public works, aid or assistance to the Palestinian people by Hamas? Has hamas as a government behaved as a government. Or have they only ever largely waged war? Genuine question.

I get it, the PLO accomplished very little for the Palestinians as well. That’s how Hamas gained power. Hamas existing, doesn’t justify Hamas existing. What have they done for the palestinians? And why shouldn’t they be cast aside as other groups were. The main reason they haven’t been. Is because they would kill the very Palestinians that would do it. The very Palestinians they claim to be fighting for.

The genocide and deportation is happening, and will happen. Hamas is having no effect. They are only getting more innocent Palestinians killed.

Since coming into power how many elections has Hamas held? Zero? Fuck hamas. What, elections can’t be held during an ongoing conflict? Well isn’t that just convenient. Let’s just keep the conflict going forever and they can stay in power forever. Fuck Hamas.

Who’s been getting suitcases of cash from Israel and not used it to actually help the Palestinian people? Fuck Israel, fuck Hama’s.

Why is it when a named high level Hamas member is killed it’s basically never in Gaza or any of the places they’re supposed to be fighting for. Always hundreds to thousands of miles away in some Conflict Free Zone pissing the time away while accomplishing little to nothing. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely understand the Strategic value in having a safe point from which to plan. But at some point they need to be in the trenches themselves. And not sending children to be slaughtered.

Honestly the lot of US politicians that have actively funded Israel’s conflicts along with the whole of Israeli government should be tried and imprisoned. But just because they are evil. That doesn’t make Hamas good.

Preemptive reply in progress

Neither are a lie. You are just misrepresenting them and being disingenuous. When taken in the context and the understanding of course they were intended. They’re unfalsifiable. This was never about the you that is personal to just you. It’s about the you that is the group of you. Breathlessly reposting the same stories day on day. That largely only called out Biden Etc. Dance around it all you want. We see you for what you are. I pushed back against the one-sided narrative every day. And I received so much hate for it. But in the end I was right. I would give anything to have been wrong. But I was right

I need to figure that out one of these days. I forgot to switch back to gboard if I really want to do that. I wish it was as simple as just enabling. But to go look up the procedure and what I need to download.

Then point out a single lie. Yes plenty of people said it in isolation. It wasn’t enough. Has the same goes the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And we are here.

If you don’t think the coverage was one-sided that’s literally on you. Pick any day span from the last election cycle and count the average of anti-biden post and compare that to the average of any post criticizing trump or republicans. Even here in leftyville it was wildly skewed. And then understand that the mass media was far far worse

It’s pretty sad if you don’t even know, Steve Bannon said it himself. Flood the zone. For any talk about the Republicans or Trump’s stance in particular. There were hundreds to thousands of more articles or news stories focusing only on Biden.

It was ignorant, if not down right foolish to think that dog piling on the Democrats in the middle of a contentious election was going to change things for the better. We’ve got 50 plus years of evidence to the contrary. None of this is a defense of Democrats or an excuse. They all need to be replaced. Democrats and Republicans and ultimately all national parties need to be outlawed and dissolved. But the left needs to do better, and focus on things other than Purity tests. When both options are shitty we need to stop effectively aiding the shittiest.

I was one of those people by the way. So why are you even arguing with me? And it’s not revisionist history. It’s open history for all to see. The coverage was massively one-sided. So much so that many Palestinians legitimately thought Trump would be better. The only one practicing revisionist history here is you If you deny that. Or the fact that everyone constantly and only was criticizing Biden, if that wasn’t you then why you defending the ones that did? Because the receipts are all over lemmy and the mass media

While it’s unquestionable that them posting this here is not the appropriate place. It’s also unquestionable knowing how you behave that you are harassing them. Even if you are not “following them around”.

It’s the part where no one was actually pointing out that the Republicans were the same or worse. I’m not defending the Democrats. I’m just calling you all out for helping Republicans.
