liveuamap.com reports there was a second plane owned by Prigozhin in the air, so my conspiracy theory is he got wind of the impending assassination, swapped the passenger lists, and will be announcing his "March of Justice" 2.0 shortly.

Actually you are both wrong, since the Balkenkreuz and the Eiserne Kreuz are but two of hundreds of variations of the same symbol, the black cross of the German Order of knights, dating back to the 12th century. It's the same symbol.

And not only that, the particular variation you are going on about, the Balkenkreuz, black cross with a thick white and small black outline except for the endings of the cross, isn't a Nazi symbol. It was used in the first world war already.

Which is all completely ignoring that it's a simple cross with a single outline, one of the most basic shapes there is, used by a medical company.

All to say, I see how it's easy to mistake, but you are wrong on the facts and you are airing your grievances on the wrong venue. Write to the company, maybe they will even agree with you and change it.

Ah yes, Popper's paradox of tolerance strikes again. (If demonstrating intolerance is the appropriate reaction to witnessing intolerance, how can you distinguish between first order and second order intolerance in the behaviour of others?)

Healthcare could definitely be better, but 67% of Americans are satisfied with their insurance.

No offense, but this sounds a bit like asking the congenitally blind if they miss seeing.

No, they are owned by HMD Global which is a company that was initially comprised mostly of former Nokia executives. They produce in China though (like everybody else).

Yes, the Nokia X10. Worked rather well over the last two years, although the only thing I can compare it to are devices I got from work (mostly older Samsungs with a ton of crapware).

The third iteration of Nokia is back to building phones, and the smartphones they sell are part of the Android One program (stock Android, two years of updates guaranteed).

Well as one of today's lucky 10,000, let me tell you it's not dependent on the KDE/Android combo. There are versions for Windows, macOS, and iOS (although some functionality is missing).

Well I haven't been following the story anymore for the last year or so, but there were some suspicions regarding that level 4 bio-lab doing research on Coronaviruses in the very epicenter of the 2019 pandemic, Wuhan...

For those that were as confused as me:

Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity ("I'm just trying to have a debate"), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate",[5] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.[6] The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki,[7] which The Independent called "the most apt description of Twitter you'll ever see".[8]

From Wikipedia:Sealioning

P.S.: the comic in question:

  1. What would be the advantage of running Nextcloud as a docker, instead of within a VM?

    • No idea really beyond the usual VM/container trade-offs, I guess it would allow you to use orchestration tools and similar for Docker.
  2. What would be a sensible way to have an incremental/differential backup of the VM/Docker?

    • If you use Proxmox as your hypervisor it comes with a sophisticated backup solution, probably the same for ESXi or whatever. Not sure about Docker.
  3. The storage usage of my Nextcloud instance exceeds 1TB. If I run it within a VM, I will have to connect it to a 2TB SSD. Does it make sense to add the external storage space to the VM? [...]

    • That's what I would do at least. Connecting external storage space to a VM/container is relatively trivial and Nextcloud recommends to separate binaries and data directory anyway. Plus this allows you to use different backup strategies for data versus binaries+metadata.

In case you haven't yet, I'd also recommend taking a look at this: https://github.com/nextcloud/vm

It's basically a collection of three shell scripts to install, manage, and update Nextcloud. Last time I tried it also worked on LXC/LXD, not only VMs. It would probably work on Docker as well and has some files related to that in the migrate/docker directory.
