catloaf , 4 months ago to World News in Time: Ukraine Can't Win the War

NATO is a purely defensive alliance, not a battering ram. The only reason you'd be against it was if you planned on facing that defense.

The idea is hardly laughable. They took Crimea. They thought they could take more without resistance. They were wrong.

Now why would they be against that? Is it because they want to be able to take back former Soviet states without having all of NATO fight back?

Okay fine that one was an orbiter, not a lander, but still.

If your need to know something is urgent, lemmy is not the place to go. That's probably why it gets downvoted.

Yeah, I just have an Excel spreadsheet. Item, model, serial, purchase date, purchase value, order number so I can find it in my email if applicable. The only thing I've filled a claim for was when my bike got stolen (purchased $500, reimbursed $2400 because apparently they changed to high end bikes) and they didn't ask for any records.

I'd also recommend a video walkaround of your house at least once a year.

catloaf , 4 months ago to World News in Israel plans to build 3,300 new settlement homes. It says it's a response to a Palestinian attack

There isn't any Israeli language and there wasn't even an Israel at all until the early 1900s (no, the Kingdom of Israel isn't the same thing).

I know he's not arguing in good faith, but even this is obviously not a valid argument.

I was going to say something about this continuing to create a privileged class, but they're saying all I have to do is get a concealed carry permit, and I'm allowed to shoot people?

It's still an objectively horrible idea, but at least they're not putting cops in a class above the general public this time.

catloaf , 4 months ago to Technology in Reddit is licensing its content to Google to help train its AI models

More than server time, for big Internet connections, uploads are priced by the byte. When someone requests a lot of data, reddit has to pay their provider to send it.

The way I've heard it is that reddit keeps deleted comments, but not an edit history.

catloaf , 4 months ago to Selfhosted in Up-to-date OpenSSL guide or tool for creating a certificate authority and self-signing TLS certificates?

What browser? Firefox by default will only trust the CA certs that it keeps. You'll need to add yours or tell it to use the system cert store.

Personally, I stopped issuing certs from my own CA and started using Let's Encrypt, since everything I cared about could request them automatically.

Do you have any proxy (caddy, traefik, nginx) in front of it? Anything in that log? Or even the container host log?

You might just need to turn down the sensitivity of the monitor.
