Here in Finland we have shelters on every bigger building, required by the law, and there should be enough room for everyone to be in a relatively safe space within few days if needed. In practise a lot of those are not in the shape they should be (full of stuff, without verifiably functional facilities for water/air/sewer/so on, but the hardware is there, it just lacks maintenance due to funding or whatever.

So, give us a week or two to get ready and after that there's a reasonably strong bunkers for every civilian to hide in for at least some time and if the society is still even remotely functional they can receive more food and resources. On the face value it's pretty simple. For every big enough apartment complex or any other building holding enough people you need to build a cellar or similar with necessary infrastructure and when the bomb shelter isn't needed you can fill them with storage units for residents and things like that. Everything inside just has to be built lightly enough that you can clear the space in pretty short notice.

As Ukraine will eventually rebuild a crapload of infrastructure and buildings something similar might not be a bad idea. And it doesn't cost Finland practically anything, we just need to share knowledge on how we did things and maybe how it could be improved. Maybe some Finnish construction companies could even make a few euros on building these things.

At least to me this is a no brainer, there's no losers on a deal like this. Civilian people are better protected in the end and it just requires sharing knowledge and experience, which doesn't really have any monetary value or political leverage. Maybe Ukraine can chip in with a bed, few warm meals and few cold beers for the experts on this field to travel and share their knowledge, but that's about it.

Sikäli kun tämä nyt konkreettisesti toteutuu, ammattilaisten tekemänä eikä poliittisena sirkuksena, niin äärimmäisen hyvä. Eurooppa on ollut valitettavan munaton Ukrianan tilanteen kanssa ja vasta Trumpin sekoilut saivat pyörät ihan oikeasti pyörimään. Tuo peemaan kuvaus tulevaisuuden tilanteesta on juuri tasan se mitä tarvitaan.

Sen verran tuohon voisi vielä lisätä, että kaikki konekivääreistä lähtien pitäisi olla keskenään yhteensopivaa ammusten osalta. Teknisemmissä asejärjestelmissä tämä ei välttämättä ole realistinen tai järkevä veto, mutta kaikki "putki, ruutia, nalli, ammus" -osaston vehkeet pitäisi olla samalla mitoituksella että minkä tahansa maan ammuksia voidaan käyttää minkä tahansa maan aseissa. Rynnäkkökiväärit, tykit, heittimet ja ainakin halvemman pään raketit menevät kaikki tähän kastiin. Nato on toki tätä tietä jo tasoittanutkin, mutta samalla vauhdilla tulee loputkin yhtenäistettyä.

Ja tässä on kyllä nyt Suomella paikka olla kokoaan isompi ja haalia tänne töitä ja investointeja. Patria, Nammo ja se uusi räjähdetehdas on hyvä alku. Tuohon päälle vähän alihankintaa Saabille ja sille ranskalaisten lentokonetehtaalle jne niin saadaan uskottavan eurooppalaisen puolustuksen lisäksi valtion talous ainakin vähän paremmalle tolalle. Ja jos jotakuta ostajaa hirvittää Venäjän rajan läheisyys niin siellä on sitten meikäläisillä poliitikoilla paikka sanoa että ei ne iivanan ohjukset ja pommikoneet ole käytännössä yhtään sen kauempana Pariisista kuin Helsingistä.

And Finnish version. Also available in English.

I think it was some XMPP related server I ran quite a few years ago which had 'i_have_read_the_manual = 0' or something similar buried into default configuration file. And it would just silently exit if that variable was not set properly.

Maybe we need more things like that.

Not for everyone, but if you live in Finland you can (most likely) access National E-library. Unfortunately it's only for IOS or Android, no e-readers are currently supported.

Don't know what Elmos minions are doing, but I've written code at least equally unefficient. It was quite a few years ago (the code was in written in perl) and I at least want to think that I'm better now (but I'm not paid to code anymore). The task was to pull in data from a CSV (or something like that, as I mentioned, it's been a while) and it needed conversion to XML (or something similar).

The idea behind my code was that you could just configure which fields you want from arbitary source data and on where to place them on the whatever supported destination format. I still think that the basic idea behind that project is pretty neat, just throw in whatever you happen to have and have something completely else out of the other end. And it worked as it should. It was just stupidly hungry for memory. 20k entries would eat up several gigabytes of memory from a workstation (and back then it was premium to have even 16G around) and it was also freaking slow to run (like 0.2 - 0.5 seconds per entry).

But even then I didn't need to tweet that my hard drive is overheating. I well understood that my code is just bad and I even improved it a bit here and there, but it was still so very slow and used ridiculous amounts of RAM. The project was pretty neat and when you had few hundred items to process at a time it was even pretty good, there was companies who relied on that code and paid for support. It just totally broke down with even a slightly bigger datasets.

But, as I already mentioned, my hard drive didn't overheat on that load.

  1. VM running on a proxmox host. Tips: make sure you know your backups are in a state you can restore data from them.
  2. Nightly backup via proxmox to Hetzner Storage box with 2 day retention. I'd like a local copy too but I don't currently have hardware for it.
  3. Don't know. Personally I have a DNAT rule on firewall and my instance is directly open to the internet. You might not want that and I might not recommend it, but right now, for me, it works. I'd need to look in a VPN solution for android I could replace the current 'open for all' situation.

And don't you dare to forget wear a very nice suit and say thank you to everyone you see.

Sitoutumattomana kokoomuksen listalta, aikaisemmin sama mutta keskustan lapuilla.

Sure. But the American company is currently managing development, have their own money on the table to improve the code and so on. Depends on how pedantic you want to go on this.

Even Torvalds himself, while originating from Finland, is currently a USA citizen and Linux foundation is paying his salary. With FOSS the borders are a bit different than in the real world and if you want to really be strict about it, fully European operating system just does not exist, at least not viable and well supported one.

Personally I'll keep using whatever free software there is, regardless of the country of origin.

En taida doxxata itseäni, mutta kuntavaaleissa olen ehdolla nyt kolmatta kertaa. Kysyä saa mitä ikinä mieli tekee, mutta oikea henkilöllisyys nyt ainakin jääkööt mysteeriksi.

Originally from France. Current owner is 8x8, American company, but the software itself is open source. So yes and no, maybe?

 

Venäjän puolustusministeri Sergei Šoigu on jälleen varoitellut maansa joutuvan pohtimaan vastatoimia lounais- ja länsirajallaan tapahtuneiden muutosten vuoksi.

Hän sanoi keskiviikkona, että Venäjän sotilaalliseen turvallisuuteen kohdistuvat uhat ovat moninkertaistuneet lännen ja luoteen, eli Suomen, suunnassa. Tämä vaatii hänen mukaansa oikea-aikaista ja sopivaa vastausta.

– Keskustelemme tarvittavista toimenpiteistä niiden [uhkien] neutraloimiseksi ja teemme asianmukaiset päätökset, Šoigu sanoi kokoustaessaan sotilasviranomaisten kanssa.

Hän väittää Yhdysvaltain käyttävän Puolaa Venäjän vastaisen politiikan välineenä. Suomen ja Ruotsin Nato-jäsenyydet taas horjuttavat hänen mielestään vakautta.

Sergei on ilmeisesti saanut viikottaisen annoksensa standardia ja puheet on sen mukaisia.

 

Heinäkuussa tapahtui selvästi vähemmän kuolemaan ja loukkaantumiseen johtaneita rattijuopumuskolareita kuin viime vuonna vastaavana ajankohtana, kertoo Poliisihallitus.

Alustavien rikosilmoitustietojen mukaan kuolemaan johtaneita rattijuopumuskolareita tapahtui heinäkuussa vain yksi, kun viime vuonna niitä tapahtui kahdeksan. Loukkaantumiseen johtaneita kolareita tapahtui 27, viime vuonna 53.

Rattijuopumuskolareita tapahtui heinäkuussa 106. Viime vuonna vastaavana ajankohtana niitä tapahtui 125.

Poliisi valvoi lähes koko heinäkuun tehostetusti päihteiden käyttöä tie- ja vesiliikenteessä. Poliisi puhallutti lähes 64 000 kuljettajaa.

For couple of hours browsing New/All the feed is filled with spambots advertising porn on a very shady domains. Lemmy doesn't seem to have option to report users so I've been just blocking them (there's not THAT many to block after all) but that got me thinking what would be the best way to report spam accounts and how reporting posts actually work.

If I report a post on sopuli does the notification go to admins at spammers home instance since I don't think sopuli admins can do much for individual users on other host? And if there's any tools (existing or planned) which would help with situations like this?
