Yes, in Europe.

They are very popular for carshare companies. I have rented a NV200 from a carshare for picking up a TV before and it was a nice experience and very inexpensive.

Unfortunate. Their EVs are a great value.

NATOWO

Do they have 996 in Taiwan? I thought that was just the PRC?

Ok, but domestic shame has nothing to do with geopolitics. Other actors can act on that shame to influence american politics, I guess.

However, if European leaders start taking up the viewpoint that all Americans are racists and imperialists, then relations will only further deteriorate. Americans could be subject to sanctions and banned from Europe. American refugees will be turned away. Americans will be subject to hate crimes. Trump-aligned fascists will play up Americans’ fears and use the international hatred of Americans to drum up support.

A state’s foreign policy is not, and has never been, equivalent to the culture of it’s people.

I say this as an American immigrant in Europe.

Take foreign policy issues up with the leaders who proposed them. Leave innocent citizens out of this, and support those who resist Trump.

Ethnic and cultural insults only furthers the divide between European and American culture.

All storage is on a Ceph cluster with 2 or 3 disk/node replication. Files and databases are backed up using Velero and Barman to S3-compatible storage on the same cluster for versioning. Every night, those S3 buckets are synced and encrypted using rclone to a 10tb Hetzner Storage Box that keeps weekly snapshots.

Config files in my git repo:

Bit more than 3 copies, but hdd storage is cheap. Majority of my storage is Jellyfin anyways, which doesn’t get backed up.

I’m working on setting up some small nvme nodes for the ceph cluster, which will allow me to move my nextcloud from hdd storage into its own S3 bucket with 4+2 erasure coding (aka raid 6). That will make it much faster and also its cut raw storage usage from 4x to 1.5x usable capacity

You described the challenges Europe faces, but that is not necessarily the outcome. On the contrary, the EU has centralized power in the past in the face of crisis.

The article literally says they’re banding together

rt.com is not a valid source in this sub.

Yes, Matrix has spaces to organize related rooms.

Man’s not hot

It will be hard to negotiate without Europe in the room, when Ukraine knows that they can count on increasing support from Europe no matter how the negotiations go. The confusion around how much support Europe will give makes it impossible for the negotiations to reach any reasonable conclusion.

One big reason why Ukraine can make terroritorial demands as part of its peace plan is because Europe has a huge interest in making sure Russia doesn’t keep any terroritory through conquest. It sets a precident for Europe that Europe is willing to go to war over to disprove.

Zelensky’s Peace Plan was actually really well thought out and affordable, Europeans and Americans were just too scared of “escalation” to give Ukraine the weapons they were requesting, and allow them into NATO.

The west has betrayed Ukraine.

Russia is not that strong

This makes no sense.

When did European leaders ever say that the US should put boots on the ground in Ukraine?

it’s all taeh!

Yes but it could be argued that that militarism is a form of imperialism.

Not sure if a puppet is meaningfully less imperialist than a protectorate.

Military operations against Isis isn’t imperialism, and it is a long shot away from other presodents’ foreign policies.

The US’s foreign policy under Obama and Clinton was anti-imperalist.
