This fucking guy...

I don't want to go gloves off again, I've been ignoring this fucking creep for the guts of a year now but he's joined up here and he's adding everyone that interacts with me, tagging me on other platforms and doing fake account crap.

I think I'm going to have to un-private some old blog posts and add an update post onto the end.

I'm going to sleep on it, I know he wants attention but I don't think people here will fall for his shit.

What a weird sad man.

EU weighs downgrading ties with Israel

EU leaders are considering possible repercussions for #Israel in response to the situation in #Gaza, with a new review likely finding it falls short of human rights obligations. A broad coalition of 17 EU member countries, led by the Netherlands, pushed for the review โ€” which will be presented at a meeting of foreign affairs ministers on June 23.

Diplomats are pushing for action, and the European Commission may be called upon to downgrade ties, particularly in trade areas, if violations are substantiated. While fully ending the Association Agreement faces hurdles, the Council aims to explore options requiring only a qualified majority.

The European External Action Service is actively assessing Israel's compliance with international law.

Small NAS home server woes


So, I currently have a Netgear ReadyNAS 314 with 1 SSD, 3 HDDs, Intel Atom D2701 and 4GB RAM, running Debian 12, and since getting it I've been getting more into self hosting. What I have now is primarily too weak in the CPU and RAM department, but it could also use more HDDs. I'm aiming for 5-6 3.5 HDDs, 1 Nvme, 1 2.5" SSD.

What I'm currently running:
* Samba and NFS server

  • OpenVPN
  • Jellyseerr/Jellyfin/*arr stack
  • Pangolin
  • Dawarich
  • Immich
  • rsnapshot
  • Homepage

And it's rather sluggish right now, and is almost filling up its 4GB of swap.

What I'd also like to be able to run/have:

  • Nextcloud
  • Transcoding (including ability to decode AV1, but preferably also encode)
  • Anything else I may want to run (working on degoogling myself)
  • ECC RAM (to prevent bitrot, I'm already running btrfs raid1 to prevent bitrot from faulty disks)
  • 1x 2.5G ethernet

If possible I'd like to have some room for upgradeability. I'm aiming for a low power build, that should be rather compact, especially not very wide unless I can find a better place in my office for it.

I'm looking at a Jonsbo N1 chassis (17cm wide) , but I'm also following a Readynas 626 (19cm wide) in an online auction. Options:

Intel N100 board

Pros: cheap, low power, quicksync with av1 decode

Cons: boards with 2.5G ethernet have to be ordered from Aliexpress and have no support and uses the JMB585 chip that prevents low power C states, limited pcie lanes, no AV1 encode, not very upgradeable (1 DIMM, soldered CPU) , no ECC, I worry it may be too slow

Intel 13100

Pros: AV1 enc/dec, quite fast, upgradeable

Cons: No ECC, relatively expensive

AMD 8500G

Pros: AV1 enc/dec, ECC, relatively fast, upgradeable

Cons: relatively expensive, not as low power as the 13100

Readynas 626

Pros: enterprise grade HW, less DIY, ECC, may be relatively cheap

Cons: high power for its performance (roughly that of the N100), wider (19cm) than a Jonsbo N1 (17cm), not upgradeable (no CPU or mobo swap), expensive DDR4 2133 ECC UDIMM

I'd love to hear what you think about these options and whether you have other concerns that I haven't thought about.

So, anyone uses controllers on PC? What controller do you guys use?

I'm asking for both Windows and Linux, by the way.
When I did use controllers, I used PS3 ones and I had to go through all the hoops for them to work on Windows, I kind of lost that Windows installation like 3 installations ago and obviously the bluetooth dongle doesn't work anymore, so I stopped using a controller ages ago.
I was thinking of getting some because I'm kind of getting impatient, I can't really learn action games anymore on Keyboard, which is normal, I mean, you get used to it, but it's also true controllers have it easier.

Breast cancer is one of 6 cancers linked to alcohol, & studies show the more you drink, the higher your risk climbs.

... around 14 out of every 100 women who down two bottles of wine a week โ€” about 10 glasses โ€” will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime, according to D. Harriet Rumgay, an epidemiologist with the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Palantirโ€™s Value Soars With Dystopian Spy Tool that Will Centralize Data on Americans consortiumnews.com/2025/06/06/โ€ฆ

Down to 17% body fat now, according to the body fat calculator.

Did 3 sets of handstand today. 3+2+3
I don't think mine are perfect in any way but it is going in the right direction.

Somehow I am doing mostly Calisthenics now. Because I had cut back on push ups and I felt it as if I was regressing. So I am doing push ups daily again. And adding some chin ups and now handstands.

Was already restricted to body weight squats due to some older Disc herniation and problems with my knees.

Perhaps when I can do, lets say 10 of those handstand that I will be able to walk or such.

I pretty much mastered the balance to stand still. But walking, not even close.

I really think I was just too weak in my shoulders.
Measuring my strength now. I am still behind in shoulders and ahead in back strength and biceps. Am slowly geting more balanced. As if the body really want to.

Or it could just be newbie gains in my weakest, lesser developed muscles.

Nextcloud in 2025: How 25 Million Users Escaped Big Techโ€™s Data Prison


Nextcloud logo featuring three connected circles above the word "Nextcloud," set against a gradient blue background.
โ€œNextcloud powers 400,000+ servers worldwide, giving organizations like the German federal government complete control over their data while escaping Big Tech surveillance. Discover why millions choose open-source collaboration over Microsoft and Googleโ€™s data-mining platforms.โ€

โ€œToday, ITZBund operates Nextcloud for 300,000 employees across the German federal government. The French Ministry of Interior runs it for their 300,000 staff. Schleswig-Holstein deploys it across 25,000 systems. Swedish federal agencies, Dutch ministries, universities across Europe, hospitals, law firms, and millions of home users rely on Nextcloud for file storage, video conferencing, document collaboration, email, calendars, and now AI assistance. These organizations discovered they could have enterprise-grade collaboration tools while maintaining complete control over every byte of their data. No surveillance capitalism. No vendor lock-in. No data held hostage in Silicon Valley.โ€

NextCloud actually has way more functionality inside it than MS Office will ever have. But the real point is you have ownership and control over your services as well as your data.

But what about AI? For better or worse, AI now comes in a lot of applications. Nextcloud Assistant 3.0 also brings AI agency features to everyone, and not just those who pay for OpenAI. It is supposedly more than just chatbot functionality.

Itโ€™s true too though that apart from data sovereignty and cost savings of around 50-80% you will also miss out on Microsoft license audits, and surprise price hikes (remember Microsoft moving from per CPU licensing to per core licensing).

One lesson from the Trump-Musk feud--made plain from Musk's (now withdrawn) threat about SpaceX--is that privatizing the nation's critical resources allows the very wealthy to threaten to withhold or undermine those resources at their every frustration or misguided assumption.

In other words, the nation's business and its progress are at risk from such a "public-private partnership".

Obviously we still need to learn that lesson.
