Giving up a peace prize to end a war sounds eligability for a new peace prize.

Yes. The problem with Iraq was that during the invasion and occupation there wasn’t enough looting. Obviously, stealing from the country will bring the citizens over to the American side and stabilize the country to avoid a drawn out, unwinnable war.

Wireguard normally runs with higher than root privileges as part of the kernel, outside of any container namespaces. If you’re running some sort of Wireguard administration service you might be able to restrict its capabilities, but that isn’t Wireguard. Most of my devices are running Wireguard managed by tailscaled running as root, and some are running additional, fixed Wireguard tunnels without a persistent management service.

Check the README for piper. It moved to https://github.com/OHF-Voice/piper1-gpl

Nextcloud shouldn’t be seeing your MAC address. However, my guess is that Nextcloud has been configured to invalidate the session if the client IP changes, and randomizing the MAC address is one way that can happen.

Are you looking for a VPN or are you looking for an IPv6 tunnel broker like Hurricane Electric?

Who’s on first joke names can’t be good for SEO.

An immutable distro… like NixOS? Or do you mean your root filesystem is immutable? NixOS can do that too. You could normally mount your nix store as readonly and remount rw during updates if you really care about filesystem immutability, or use some snapshot system if you’re paranoid about adding new files to the store corrupting other files already in the store during an update.

The nixpkgs VM creation module, which I’ve never seen documentation for, has a mode where it generates a kernel, initrd, kernel command line, and erofs image containing a prepopulated /nix directory and that’s enough to boot the VM.

Ansible is disappointing as an IAC tool. It’s good for doing things, but it’s not good for converging systems to a desired state. Too often you end up with playbooks that are not idempotent or rely on something that was done during a previous execution of the playbook or just don’t do something that was done by a previous version, and then unless you are constantly recreating your systems you won’t notice until it’s a problem and you can’t get your system back.

You can host a Proton mail bridge to use different apps running on different machines, including phones.

Self hosting e-mail, particularly SMTP, will likely require a static IP from a reputable provider. Mail servers may reject incoming mail based on the reputation of the sending server. You can avoid this by relaying through another SMTP server and configuring your DNS rules to allow that server to send mail on your behalf, but that’s not really self hosting anymore.

The article suggests the opposite: population decline in rural areas allows the bears to spread out and get closer to populated areas.

A dystopia that Elon Musk wants to import from China where one company controls everything you do via an app on your phone.

You can use OpenEBS to provision and manage LVM volumes. Host path requires you to manually manage the host paths.

That sounds like build automation. You can use some Git forge software.

America is already working on solving that permafrost problem.

If wars kept presidents in office, presidents would only leave office voluntarily or through old age. The US is always at war.

Japanese people are being fed the same kind of propaganda as UK citizens and Americans. People say ridiculous things like “What if the number of foreigners increases to 20% of the total population? Then women will be sexually assaulted.” Instead of immigrant gangs taking over apartment buildings and eating the pets it’s foreigners buying up all the land to build compounds for foreigners to live in and pooping in the streets.

But there is also a feedback loop where nationalists in Japan make the news, and it’s repeated by right wing foreigners who don’t know Japan but admired their idealized, racially pure Japan where everyone is polite and orderly and this would never happen, and then that gets repeated to Japanese people as if it were large numbers of foreigners warning them not to let immigration ruin Japan as it has ruined those other countries. Most of the Japanese people in this loop don’t understand English, and the right wing foreigners don’t understand Japanese. The reality isn’t always faithfully translated in either direction, and the language barrier makes it harder for people to realize the discrepancy.

Some attackers check services that have already cataloged the services you are running, even on uncommon ports. You won’t hear from them unless you are running a potentially vulnerable service.

Isn’t this Putin’s Ukraine story?

If he had declared war on the world, which wouldn’t be so out of character for him after being insulted by an escalator, you wouldn’t need to go to wsws to read about it.

If you’re self hosting Headscale you can configure your network such that Headscale is reachable on your network with or without internet access and available from the internet.
