Estonian foreign minister: If China wants to have good relations with Estonia, it must stop supporting Russia in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] talkingpumpkin@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago

Your source?

Anyway, even if that was the case, it's not like Putin cannot have opinions that also happen to be true (is water less wet if Putin thinks it's wet?).

Don't get me wrong... I'm not defending that inhuman monster, but he is definitely not an idiot.

I'd even say he might be one of the shrewdest and most cunning government heads out there, which of course only make him more dangerous.

Sorry, but the EU is not a block :(

It's a jumble of petty governments, most of which have sold themselves off to either Trump or Putin (or both).

Look at restic and/or borg first. Iff you have specific needs that they don't address, then look at other things (including reviewing your requirements: chances are you are doing something wrong in that case).

German carmakers deal with fallout from Nexperia chip supply halt | dpa international in c/europe@feddit.org

German car makers put their energy into scamming Europeans (with eco-incentives and dieselgate) rather than future-proofing their business, and the result is once again is the European people being f*cked

No. It seems you posted this as a photo

No, it was to pin everybody's attention on this possible meeting while he refused the Tomahawks.

Honestly, Putin must have some dirt on Trump... I mean, there must be some reason why Putin is the only person getting the white-glove treatement from Trump.

TBH being poor and a foreigner is far worse in these people's eyes. And god forbid if on top of that you are fleeing a country where war or persecution threaten your existence.

Trump says he will meet Putin in Hungary in bid to resolve Ukraine war in c/europe@feddit.org
[–] talkingpumpkin@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

Surely we can trust Hungary to do the right thing. I'll even go so far as to say they are gonna do the far right thing.

This looks a lot like Anchorage II: a celebration of Putin managing to play Trump for a fool, and the beginning of more months of the same.

Why mount /etc/timezone and /etc/localtime in containers? (lemmy.world)
 

A lot of selfhosted containers instructions contain volume mounts like:

docker run ...
  -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro \
  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
  ...

but all the times I tried to skip those mounts everything seemed to work perfectly.

Are those mounts only necessary in specific cases?

PS:

Bonus question: other containers instructions say to define the TZ variable. Is that only needed when one wants a container to use a different timezone than the host?

Simpler alternative to prometheus-alertmanager and/or graphana? (lemmy.world)
 

Prometheus-alertmanager and graphana (especially graphana!) seem a bit too involved for monitoring my homelab (prometheus itself is fine: it does collect a lot of statistics I don't care about, but it doesn't require configuration so it doesn't bother me).

Do you know of simpler alternatives?

My goals are relatively simple:

  1. get a notification when any systemd service fails
  2. get a notification if there is not much space left on a disk
  3. get a notification if one of the above can't be determined (eg. server down, config error, ...)

Seeing graphs with basic system metrics (eg. cpu/ram usage) would be nice, but it's not super-important.

I am a dev so writing a script that checks for whatever I need is way simpler than learning/writing/testing yaml configuration (in fact, I was about to write a script to send heartbeats to something like Uptime Kuma or Tianji before I thought of asking you for a nicer solution).
