Indeed. The other thing to point out is that, once you have set them up, they will chug along fine for years with near zero input.

Here is the stack I recommend:

* Radarr (movies) with optional second instance for 4K versions

* Sonarr (shows) with optional second instance for 4K versions

* Sonarr (anime), separate instance to have control over quality settings

* Prowlarr (tracker/indexer management)

* SABnzbd (Usenet)

* qBittorrent (torrents)

I would also recommend consulting the TRaSH guide to tune your setup and ensure you’re grabbing quality releases. From there, the next logical step is Profilarr :)

No, I got your point.

Ultimately, when international law devolves into “might is right”, expect your adversaries to apply the concept as well. Iran has always been the de facto operator of the strait (by fact of being the strongest regional power bordering the strait), and this will remain going forward. Nitpicking how and why Iran is doing this is not going to change the reality on the ground. It is better to spend energy on preventing wars of aggression of this nature from reoccurring :)

So long story short, is it legal for Iran to restrict access to the strait via Omani waters? Nope. Is there a realistic way to prevent it from doing this by force? Also no. Did Iran wake up and decide to arbitrarily take over control of the strait? Absolutely not. Would Iran be willing to revert to pre-war state if their demands are met? Perhaps. Welcome to realpolitik :)

Oh and as far as restricting access via Iranian waters, Iran is mostly adhering to IL because it hasn’t ratified UNCLOS.

> For the record, Oman signed the No Fees/No Tolls pledge with the rest of the EU literally two days ago.

Thanks for the link, but is this pledge binding in any way, or is it just a symbolic gesture? Because my impression so far has been that Oman is willing to play ball.

Because, given the context of the discussion and the flow of back and forth (for/against Iran’s move on the strait), then the parent is most likely using Oman’s role as a roundabout “look how Iran isn’t respecting international law” rather than a legitimate concern for Oman.

But if you want an answer to the same question but posed with legitimate curiosity, the answer is Oman is OK with this arrangement :)

When you do things like assassinate a head of state at home along with this daughter and grandchild, double-tap strike a school because AI told you so, and sink a navy show ship at sea without waiting to rescue survivors, you can’t then cry about international law and norms of sea navigation.

FAFO in action. They can hope and dream for another outcome, but this is the best they’ll get.

Or adopt the Nix approach of caching common binary artifacts in a content addressable store and rebuild from source only when needed.

Give us a Home Assistant integration and watch these sell like hotcakes :)

As far as I can tell, that is only one piece of the puzzle. I think the bulk of the work is on the hypervisor side (KVM) to eliminate/stub out sources of randomness in HW, patch out RDRAND, etc

Nix/NixOS takes it a step further and makes you have to go out of the way to enable self-updating behavior when packaging something :)

Reducing all human endeavors into “toil” is reductionist as fuck.

I have made my points, so I no longer have an interest in engaging further, but I will add two last things:

Iran does have a geopolitical, ideological, religious, and humanitarian interest in Palestine. If you don’t get it, I would recommend you do more reading.

Ukraine is essentially a proxy of the US and EU due to arms, funding, and support. Ukraine is attacking targets in Russia. Suppose Russia woke up one day and decided to fire an ICBM at the US or a major EU capital. Would that be an appropriate response?

Dude, this is amazing stuff. Farid really is putting out banger after Nix banger haha. This sounds like a mini/less capable Antithesis runtime, but running on your machine.

Curious: how does Rewind deal with randomness?

But funding groups you oppose does not justify extraterritorially eliminating a head of state in response. So to me there was no valid provocation.

A provocation might have been Iran waking up one day and deciding to hammer Israel or US bases with missiles. Even then, targeting a head of state might be going too far. You would think Iran would have done this based on all the demonization targeted towards it, but instead it was the accusers who did just that :)

Iran has a “beef” with Israel because of Palestine. As for groups it cooperates with such as Hezbollah or Ansarallah, that is simply power projection and a way for them to gain influence, which partly is due to them existing in a region where Sunnis outnumber Shias.

And btw, it has been a while since Hamas was funded by Iran. But I think funding Hamas was a popular move and helped bolster Iran’s image both domestically and across the region.

Unprovoked here means that this was not a response to an attack by Iran on Israel or the US. It was also done during negotiations, which I hope you realize is a cardinal sin in diplomacy.

As for Khamanei, at the end of the day, he was a head of state. There are international systems in place for punishing people in power across state boundaries, which were setup because otherwise our world devolves into assassination and war.

Dude thinks this a game.

Imagine that your country - whose rulers you do not agree with - is attacked by two states unprovoked in the middle of negotiations, not once, but twice in a single year.

And how do they initiate this attack? They strike a number of targets, one of which the compound your head of state is living in along with members of his family, including a child (his granddaughter). Mind you, your head of state was not in a bunker, but was an 87 year old man living his life as normal. After executing this amazing operation, these two states then call on your people to rise up and overthrow the government.

What would you do?

Run through the objectives at the outset of this “war” (illegal and unprovoked attack on a sovereign state), and then compare that against “price of oil going back to pre-war levels”.

Trust me, by almost any metric you can think of, this was a strategic defeat for the US.

Niri is amazingly good. It is pretty well polished and just makes sense.

Firstly, you are aware that Gaza is & was under full blockade, right? And that there is no way to reach the West Bank from Gaza?

Secondly, I can assure you that you would NOT have gotten behind anything Hamas did. You (not you specifically, just generally) wouldn’t have supported them because you’re conditioned to not support them. You are also more susceptible to propaganda than you think you are, and trust me, the media machine would have been in full gear regardless of what operation Hamas pulled off.

It is easy to talk about theoreticals, but if you’re missing the ongoing reality, why do you think that you would handle the theoretical scenario any differently? Same idea applies to fiction. People jump to oppose the Empire, but had they been living in the Star Wars universe, odds are that Imperial propaganda would have been extremely effective.

There is a recent saying on liberals, but I think it applies more broadly: “A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war, and supports all civil rights movements except the one that's going on right now.”

Generally, the point is my people are more valuable than your people. This is how Israel itself is able to maintain the injustice in Gaza and the WB. Heck, the IOF proudly operates under this model: a 1:50 combatant to civilian kill ratio is normal operating procedure.

They applied the same concept in Iran during the 12 Day War, where they performed “targeted strikes” on apartment buildings housing nuclear scientists and other top officials, while killing 10s of civilians in the process. And then they (unironically) believed that Iranians would rise up against their government instead of rallying around the flag, at least temporarily.

This is a 2024 comment. We are past these talking points.

Do you know what Israel did and still is doing in Gaza (and the West Bank)? It goes way beyond “retaliation”. A genocidal, algorithmic rampage that spared no one. “Collateral damage” taken to its extreme. It is a testbed for techniques to crush armed liberation movements. For the US in particular, this is how the 2nd amendment can be rendered obsolete.

I am curious. Would you empathize more if Gaza was a Ukrainian enclave in Russia that tried to break free from its status as a blockaded strip of land? Is the involvement of non-white victims the problem? Perhaps it’s because there are Palestinians involved? Maybe if this were a fictional struggle set in some fictional universe involving some kind of “rebel” group; is that what it takes to spare an ounce of empathy?

> don't care if it's the best tested if it doesn't do what I want it to do.

That’s an interesting tradeoff, especially if this is a production grade application. Curious: what features is SQLite missing?

This looks amazing! The credential injection trick is particularly cool :)

Whoops, guess I flipped it around!

Might be a reality quite soon! https://github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5

Oof, serves me right for not reading the article! Thanks for the correction :)

Hahaha precisely. The other part people seem to ignore is that there are bound to be projects with potential that are unilaterally killed early on because of the founder’s “taste” and ego.

But this is not a personal card. It is a credit card. Who in the world would even notice this detail?

This whole exercise sounds like a minimalist circlejerk that was only possible in a ZIRP environment.

That’s where flakes come in.

Flakehub is one attempt at solving the discovery problem. For example: https://flakehub.com/flake/nix-community/disko?view=usage.

Just came back to this. I am genuinely curious: were you expecting to start a discussion with such a disrespectful reply, or were you just ragebaiting?

This is a war that is generally supported by both Republicans and Democrats - the latter mostly dissenting to the fact that it is being conducted without Congressional approval.

It is also a war that extends in part from the Gaza genocide, which as we know was overseen and backed by a Democratic administration.

In other words, this is a war enabled and sanctioned by our government collectively, and not a particular administration or party.
