I did an exchange year in MN and my host family there told me not to, always bought bottled water and never drank it themselves. And when I did try it it tasted very chlorinated.

Germany, we do have a few fountains (but they are really uncommon and would have more in common with a normal tab and sink then the american fountains I’ve seen). I’d usually just fill up my bottle from a sink at a bathroom when I’m on the go.

Then what are those for compared to just a sink?

I thought their whole point was that they filter the water because you can’t drink the tap water in the US?

Anytime I see memes like that, I am thankful I live in a country where I can just drink tap water.

What kind of stuff have you been buying that you couldn’t find elsewhere (at a competitive price)?

I buy a moderate amount of my stuff online and was able to almost entirely avoid Amazon this year. The only exception was a phone display where Amazon had a LCD-variant for ~30€ while all others only had an OLED for ~90€.

Why do you think ubuntu and debian derivatives are unsecure?

Totally fair. I am just pointing it out here because it felt a bit icky when I saw it on the github page.

If it was closed source I would agree but you can check for yourself if the code is good. Even if they are crazy.

No I can not. I am not an android-dev, I am not the best dev out there and I don’t have time to thouroughly go through a big codebase. It would defenetly be possible to hide mallicious code from me, even if I have access to the source-code. For really big projects it is safe to assume other, more knowlegable people have allready audited the code, but for small ones I have to be able to trust the devs.

Tbf telegram also seems fairly popular in less problematic areas for sime reason (it’s quite populare in ukraine as well for example)

Their russian telegram channel has some opinions.

Besides a chemtrail conspiracy - reference there is a whoule channel for the ru-ukr war. I am unsure if it is in support of the war or not and translating it does not really clarify it (sentiment gets lost easily I guess).

Considering that, some clarification would be nice. Because I don’t think I would trust a software made by russian “patriots” (quote from the channel) in the current geopolitical landscape.

The grass looks like my doormat:

I don’t tgink you can create a RaidZ1 with just two drives.

But the low-cost pool would probably not have the capacity to hold my data (or not be low-cost).

Sadly I don’t have 11 Tb worth of smaller empty drives around (and not even eniugh sata-Ports, so I’d also have to buy an expansion-card).

Yeah, I don’t like the broken pool idea either, that’s why I was hoping there was a better method.

Sounds interesting, but while I have room for one more drive, I don’t want to spend money for one more drive xD (As mentioned, I have >= 12Tb drives, so another one I don’t really need would hurt the wallet quite a bit.)

But send to where?

I back up my personal data for which I have the space. I do not back up my media, as I can’t justify the costs for another drive that size and would be fine with losing in the offchance I loose two drives in my array (or my entire server fucking up).

I think the official therm is to boost a post.
