Well it’s not so much an island as a vast area with a lot of plastics of various sizes and two convergence points roughly before Japan and California with currents transporting material between them in a loop around Hawaii.

I think the islands in the bottom is New Zealand, so the small islands top left is probably Hawaii and California/Mexico barely visible at the top. That would mean that nearly a quarter of the top left rim until behind the horizon (Japan) is where the Great Pacific Garbage Patch roughly is.

Leopold Aschenbrenner […] just blew up his $45 billion hedge fund

Nomen est omen strikes again (Aschenbrenner can colloquially be translated as “money burner”).

All other countries could have ignored Hungary and do whatever they wanted since they are souvereign countries. There was no need to act as the EU.

If you completely ignore the fact that Hungary was blocking the release of EU funds, and those don’t just magically reappear in your national budget if the EU doesn’t use them…

Ach so der BND ist also nicht genug informiert über terroristische Aktivitäten im Vergleich zu unseren Nachbarn?

Na ja im Vergleich zu den Amis oder den Briten und vielen anderen waren unsere Geheimdienste immer geradezu lächerlich eingeschränkt durch die Gesetzeslage. Mehr oder weniger ein OSINT-Aggregator. Aber jetzt versucht sich Europa von den USA abzunabeln und die merken hier gerade das die bisher eigentlich alles von da eingekauft haben. Und jetzt wollen sie schnell was eigenes.

Nicht das ich das befürworte, aber ich glaube das ist der Grund warum die seit einiger Zeit sowohl auf EU-Ebene als auch national so eskalieren mit der Überwachungsinfrastruktur.

Nobody said it would? But both of these vulnerabilities were use-after-free, so using Rust would probably have helped here (you know if Rust had been a thing back when they were introduced).

Oh I see. You mean like v3.0.1 will be stable, and v3.1.0 will be stable. Yeah that’s true. But v3 (as in v3.0.0) is breaking. At least that’s how I have always seen the terms used.

No, v3 is a release with breaking changes:

This release includes several breaking changes; read the full migration guide here. It’s worth mentioning that many of the breaking changes are updates to API endpoints and only affect third-party tools that integrate with Immich’s API. For the vast majority of users, updating works exactly as it always has.

https://immich.app/blog/v3.0.0-release

That’s why the major version was increased, it implies breaking changes in semantic versioning, which Immich is doing since v2 apparently:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner
3. PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes

Hey there, seems like you used a code block (text between two lines of ```). This will prevent line-wrapping, so you have to scroll horizontally through the code block to read. For text that is supposed to be read it’s better to use a quote (lines starting with > and a space):

Automatic Power Cut-Off: The system is “smart.” If you unplug the cord from the wall while the sun is shining, the metal prongs on the plug become “dead” in less than a second. This prevents anyone from getting a shock from the exposed plug.

Grid Outage Protection: If the power goes out in your neighborhood (a blackout), the panels automatically stop sending power to your home or the grid. This ensures utility workers fixing the lines aren’t accidentally shocked by your panels."

I think you replied this in the wrong thread, but I generally agree with this person. Use GitBash as the terminal and only use VS Code as an editor (or even skip VS Code entirely). Not because it’s MS, but just because it adds complexity you don’t need while learning.

By the way, if you just want to learn git you can try this website, it’s a fully self-contained learning experience with a terminal emulator inside the browser: https://learngitbranching.js.org/

Drives, not drivers. HDDs and SSDs.

Theoretically yes, but I would recommend the terminal git brings with it. You should be able to just open any location on your drives, right-click, and select “GitBash here”. This will start a terminal with the directory you were in as the working directory.

Ideally, the readme.md has already been created by the time l reach here or no ?

Depends, if you followed the tutorial precisely it should already have been created in the step “Create the repository 3.”. You can use the ls command in the WSL terminal to see if it exists.

If not, where do I create the readme ?

In the base directory of the git repository you cloned from Github. You can do so with the command echo "blaaaa" > README.md (this will overwrite the file if it exists already).

In the WSL terminal or the vs code terminal ?

See I think this is your misunderstanding right here. The tutorial tells you to enter code ., where code means “start VS Code” and . means “in the current directory”. You are supposed to then use the file explorer inside VS Code to select the README.md and modify it.

This may not work as intended in WSL. If you enter which code and there is no output it won’t work. Is there any reason why you are using WSL instead of just installing git for Windows? It comes with a terminal emulator, so there should be no problem following the tutorial and you can eliminate WSL as a possible friction point.

Well it for sure killed my entire “Suspension of disbelief”.

Yeah, but the Prussian led is the crucial bit there. Austria wouldn’t have had one bit of a problem with a German Reich led by the Austrian monarchy, which is conversely something Prussia was unable to accept. Catch-22 type situation. Hence the split.

Well it’s not like Austria put up much of a fight… But anyway, my larger point was that Hitler, like many other people on both sides of the border, was explicitly opposed to the national distinction between Austria and Germany. They thought that the founding of the German Reich to the exclusion of Austria in 1871 was a mistake and that Austria should be part of Germany. So saying that somebody born in Austria, who believes Austria is part of Germany, is “a fully integrated German” (as opposed to Austrian) doesn’t make much sense I think.

Hitler was a fully integrated German.

What’s that even supposed to mean? He Anschluss’ed Austria basically the first chance he got.

Some later part of the Risen RPG series IIRC.

Well if you want the real basics of self-hosting then depending on your level of knowledge you may want to follow a Linux tutorial like this one: https://labex.io/linuxjourney

This will teach a lot of basic knowledge and terminology you may need when setting up or maintaining containers and VMs. Admittedly, this is somewhat tangential knowledge to your immediate goals, but if you want to actually use your self-hosted stuff remotely later this will become critical to doing so safely.

As for the map, for me it was something like:

Local LXC/QEMU → Remote LXD over SSH on a RPi → Proxmox on a dedicated box through the webinterface

In hindsight I would have started with Proxmox directly though I guess. One big downside is it doesn’t integrate well with Docker containers, you have to set up a full VM as your Docker host. On the upside though you can install LXC containers from https://www.turnkeylinux.org/ in a few clicks, so it’s very good for just testing stuff out and playing around.

IDK man, console access and cheats are still pretty common for PC games. Although there are exceptions too, at least one game series I know, first few titles had console access and cheats, then they removed it after they stupidly left DLC content accessible through console commands in the base game… Which is pretty much an example of what OP claimed. So maybe it’s not always the reason, but it sure is sometimes.
