Ylellä on nykyään aika paljon murteella tehtyjä juttuja: ”Onpa söpö murre” – Ylen toimittaja saa kiittävää palautetta persoonallisesta puhetavastaan. Minua ei isommin häiritse ja ylen somessakin paljon näkyvä Antti Kurra on ihan leppoisaa kuunneltavaa. Johtunee osaltaan kaverin esiintymistyylistä ja toisekseen siitä että Raahen murre on aika lähellä omaa niin kuulostaa mukavan kotoisalta.

Kukin tyylillään, minulle kelpaa kunhan eivät raumalaisia päästä tekemään juttuja.

When Soviet Union fell it also was very slow at start, took several years, but then the house of cards started to fall down. Wikipedia cites ‘decline and collapse’ of Soviet union between 1988 - 1991 and the final downfall happened almost overnight. Situation today has a lot of similar patterns, so I’m keeping my hopes up that the history will repeat itself and that Ukraine and ukrainians can withstand the horrors a bit more.

As I said, few years ago.

Remember how few years ago there was a massive outcry when U2s album was downloaded to devices without permission?

They are making a good progress and kicking EU in the right direction too at the same time. I’m not too familiar on how they actually manufacture their drones, but there’s practically no options build anything only from European components. In theory you could team up with some university and get a handful of chips, but that would be extremely expensive and it’s literally a handful of processors at best, so nothing at the scale any kind of production line could do anything with.

If it’s enough to be ‘non-chinese’ then there’s a few options, but it’s still a long supply chain and manufacturers are in South Korea, Japan and (mostly) Taiwan. And even then there’s very little to choose from without relying on chinese designs and toolchains. So practically speaking there’s no way to avoid being dependent on China if you’re building a computer of any kind, no matter if you shoehorn that in a drone or make a new line of laptops.

They are manufacturing most of the technology that Russia uses in this war.

Also most of the technology everyone else uses. I’d be pretty surprised if there’s anything on the battlefield which doesn’t have something either directly made in China or at least made with machines using chinese components. Smarter Everyday on youtube had a video series while back where they built grill scrubber using only USA manufactured parts and even that was a decent challenge. And all they needed was some steel, few nuts and bolts and few plastic parts. Anything with a charging port would be much more difficult to build without chinese components.

Me too.

Companies can bleed ridiculous amounts of money if it means that they can push competition out of the market. Couple less profitable, or even negative, quarters are fine, if they’re expecting good enough return for that investment. So, they’re still firmly on track with maximum profit hunting, sometimes it just takes some money to make even more money.

accomplish nothing else

Come on now, give credit where credit is due. There was also a shit ton of wealth transferred to Trump and his gang via insider trading, messing around with markets in general and a ton of other shady business. Russia (and likely Putin directly) and China also benefited from the chaos created. And also global instability increased by quite a lot, but one could argue that was only a side effect and not a direct goal.

That’s been going on for a while already. Stellantis was founded only a few years ago and they already have a ton of different brands in their pockets. Obviously PSA and FCA already had a ton of those brands before merging, but similar merges have been happening for decades, for example GM has been gathering different brands since 1920s.

And that’s exactly why it’s called Krita. Also it was previously called ‘Krayon’, so they just kind of kept the name.

Not surprising at all. Every worker everywhere does this if they have some sort of ‘tokens’ they need to consume. Helpdesk ticket count is one pretty common with IT-folks and it’s easy enough to boost if you just write one from every single small thing you’ve done for the day.

None of these obviously are beneficial for the actual work getting done, but as the game is ‘make KPI numbers look good’ then that’s exactly what gets done.

I haven’t really paid attention on prosumer-hardware lately as my RB4011iGS+RM just keeps on working. 6 watts is really low tho, according to spec sheet my router pulls 18W 24VDC. Few links I checked from your original post however give 15W TDP, so maybe some seller is pulling numbers out of their sleeve or there’s differences between models. Either way, those are pretty damn efficient boxes.

With that celeron CPU I think they have less troughput than what I’m running, but if your internet connection isn’t several hundred megabits I don’t think that’ll be an issue. I had issues with some edgerouter, while it claimed to do full gigabit in practise it managed only up to ~700Mbps and even less than that with even slightly complicated routing.

I don’t have any direct recommendations, but I’d stay away from TP-Link and other budget brands which often promise a lot more than they can actually deliver. My switches are from HPE and they are pretty cheap second hand (or even free if you happen to stumble in a office renewal somewhere).

In most common case you can think VLANs at the firewall end like whole different physical networks. On port LAN1 you have a switch and whatever else you happen to have, on LAN2 similar setup and so on. All the networks can (and should) have their own IP range and it’s the firewall who decides what traffic is allowed, like is a machine in LAN1 allowed to talk with printer on LAN2.

Virtual LAN just bundles that all to one set of cables and network devices with the obvious benefit that you can have benefits of multiple networks for security, access control or whatever but you don’t need extra hardware for each setup. In theory it is possible to break out of VLAN separation, but in practice it’s really not something a home gamer should worry about too much.

What you need is a managed switch (or multiple if needed) so that you can assign ports to different VLANs or a combination of many VLANs in a single port, commonly known as trunk. Some unmanaged switches pass trough VLAN frames as is, but it’s not guaranteed, so safe bet is to get only managed switches.

For the firewall/router, the best option would be to either drop the ISP router totally or if possible use bridged port on it so that you can get ‘raw’ internet to your own device. You can make it work with ‘LAN’ port on your current router too, there’s just one set of port forwarding and firewall rules extra to manage before anything even hits your own network. Instead of firewall PC I’d recommend an actual router. They are often more suited to the task, are physically smaller and tend to consume less energy. Also dedicated firewall/routers are often a bit cheaper (at least less than 600$, I paid ~150€ for my router). I personally have a Mikrotik device and I like it, but there’s plenty decent ones to choose from. PC will work as well, but they tend to have more potentially failing components than dedicated routers.

But in general, at least I can’t see anything fundamentally wrong with your plan. Remember to have fun while setting it up.

En minäkään tässä nyt varsinaisesti mitään puolta ole valitsemassa, paitsi tietysti natseja vastaan. Mieluiten näkisin että joka ikinen taho, oli sitten yhdistys tai yksityinen, toteaisi kaikille natseille ja muille vastaaville vatipäille ettei tässä yhteiskunnassa ole tiloja eikä muutenkaan tilaa rellestää. Kunpahan vain totesin, että ymmärrän kyllä jos yksittäinen yhdistyksen puheenjohtaja ei ole ensimmäisenä ottamassa kainalotuulettajien vihoja niskoilleen.

Sitä voi sitten spekuloida miksi tuo tapahtuu jo useamman vuoden ajan peräkkäin. Ehkä yhdistyksen hallituksessa istuu aatteen kannattajia, ehkä yhdistyksen hallitukselle on tehty “tarjous” josta ei passaa kieltäytyä, ehkä seura saa sen verran rasvaiset vuokratulot että katsovat toiseen suuntaan ja ajattelevat vain niitä ukulelekerhoja ja muita toimintoja mitä sillä rahalla saa aikaiseksi. Ehkä eivät ole vain yksinkertaisesti tienneet, ei tuommoisten yhdistystilojen vuokraaja siellä käy kyttäämässä viikonloppuna ja jos jäljet on asiallisesti siivottu niin koko tilaisuuden luonne on ihan aidosti saattanut jäädä huomaamatta. Ehkä jotain aivan muuta.

Valitettavaa että natsit on löytäneet kokoontumistilat. Ymmärrän kyllä ihan hyvin miksei tuo nuorisoseura ole halukas purkamaan jo tehtyä vuorkasopimusta, varsinkaan näin lyhyellä varoitusajalla, kun tuo sakki saattaa hyvinkin tulla vastuuhenkilöiden pihalle aukomaan päätään. Poliisikaan ei tuohon ilmeisesti oikein voi puuttua, kokoontumisvapaus kun on meillä melkoisen vahva (ja ihan hyvä että on).

Nyt olisi meikäläisille oodineille tai muille isäm maan puolustajille paikka kerätä pisteet kotiin ja käydä kertomassa mitä mieltä täällä kainalontuuletuksesta ollaan, vaan taitaa näiden kahden porukan venn-diagrammi olla aika lähelle ympyrää.

Hienoa jos tämmöistä suunnitellaan, mutta nykyisessä maailmanmenossa itse etsisin toimittajaa mielummin vaikka Japanista. Lisäydinvoima noin yleisesti olisi kyllä erittäin tervetullutta, viimetalvikin osoitti että ollaan aivan verkon kestokyvyn rajoilla kun on pidempiä tuulettomia pakkasjaksoja. Toivottavasti seuraava miilu rakentuu vähän nopeammin kuin OL-3.

There are various mesh-network projects around and it’s better than nothing, but their issues tend to be pretty low bandwidth and physically limited area. Wifi-mesh in a somewhat densely populated area is technically possible, but technology says that you need to be pretty close (100m give or take) to the next node. On rural areas people have built pretty long range wireless jumps without ISPs but hardware requirements for those are a bit different and you’re relying heavily on the node next to you in upstream direction.

Then there’s things like LoRa Networking, but their bandwidth is very small and it’s really only suitable for SMS-style messaging with pretty low traffic, but it can reach up to 10km between nodes. AX.25 over amateur radio has range up to hundreds of kilometers, but it’s also pretty slow (~1kbps).

So, in practise, the best would be to use something like NNTP and distributed servers across the mesh network where you’re less dependent on long range high speed communications. Modern web experience or instant messaging just isn’t really feasible over any mesh network with current consumer-grade hardware.

I don’t know about running the whole internet over peer-to-peer network, but my home server is pretty much the ‘main’ computer and while phones an laptops obviously have data locally it’s also synced to the server so losing one mobile device isn’t really a big deal (besides money to get a new one). Immich for photos, nextcloud for other data, radicale for contacts and calendar and self hosted imap-server for emails.

Obviously the devices are still very much personal, but it’s easy enough to wipe and start over if needed. For remote wipe I still need to rely with google on phone and with laptop there’s currently no way to remote wipe it but it’s running with encrypted drive anyway so it’s only the monetary value of the thing in case it’s lost.

Fixed headaches with my proxmox backup server. It has a SAS-controller and 4 spinning drives running backups at detached garage and the old fujitsu desktop I dug out of office dumpster pile just kept crashing. Flashed controller to IT-firmware, updated bios on motherboard and did everything else I could figure out but the system just lost the drives pretty much daily and required a hard reset. Turns out, or at least that’s my conclusion, that the PSU on the machine just didn’t have enough juice for the whole setup and that caused instability. I dug out old (2010 or so) desktop from my own pile and threw 600W PSU on the box, it’s now been stable for at least a week.

I would’ve liked to keep the fujitsu-machine as it’s in a more compact case and couple of generations newer CPU, but that thing has propietary power supply so it was easier to swap out the whole system and just move drives from one to another. So, the current setup consumes maybe a bit more electricity, but at least it’s doing what it is supposed to.
