Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

    Interesting. Look’s like the “old.reddit” plugin breaks that link. Weird that they have to source a reddit thread rather than the actual study. Red flag for sure that they’re full of shit. https://www.ifop.com/publication/la-nation-qui-a-le-plus-contribue-a-la-defaite-de-lallemagne/ Now is that graph valid… well looking at the “study report”… It’s like 3 pages of content that doesn’t actually outline much of anything and conflates with itself. The report says it was 1200 people 18 and older… the website says sample size of 995 people. The study report says 1200 people sample for the 2015 figures, except it was actually taken in may 2014. And no figures about how many people in the previous years. So I would worry about how “valid” this is to begin with. But let’s look at the content on the original page.

    The study even cites the reason this “perception” could have been a thing… (translated, possibly poorly. Check yourself! But my high school french skills only go so far).

    Virginie Sansico, a historian specializing in World War II, sees these results as a certain logic: “Under De Gaulle, who was anti-Atlanticist, one was not quick to maintain the memory of the Landing. Moreover, the Communist Party has long helped to value the Soviets, when it had a strong influence. The first State-backed landing commemorations took place only in 1984, organized by Mitterrand: they mark a break in public opinion.”
    “In Western Europe, the Allied Landing was crucial, but in the eastern countries, Stalin’s army still played a great deal behind.”

    So actually it looks like Russia propaganda in the 1940s thanks to De Gualle’s personal opinions on the matter.

    So I’m going to go with, not only does that graph itself mean nothing in this conversation, but the story behind it actually damns the argument they’re trying to make, especially since the matter is well known https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01402390.2016.1220367.

    Ah yes I forget, my family’s lived experience isn’t real because some jerkwad on lemmy said so. The source of a removed comment on reddit proved otherwise! You’ve converted me, the stories, written history, oral stories that I’ve recorded for my own records/kids/history must all be wrong. Literal hours of first hand accounts and hundreds of pages of documented familial history must be tainted and not an accurate account of the glorious USSR reign. Fuck… I better delete my grandfathers phone number. It must be getting answered by some deepfake AI voice…

    Nah, that’d be mean. It isn’t “simple” by any stretch. It’s an aggregation of a lot of hours put into it. What’s fun is that when it gets that big you start putting tools together to do a lot of the work/diagnosing for you. A good chunk of those tools have made it into production for my companies too.

    LibreNMS to tell me what died when… Wazuh to monitor most of the security aspects of it all. I have a gitea instance with my own repos for scripts when it comes maintenance time. Centralized stuff and a cron stub on the containers/vms can mean you update all your stuff in one go

    40 ssds as my osds… 5 hosts… all nodes are all functions (monitor/manager/metadataservers), if I added more servers I would not add any more of those… (which I do have 3 more servers for “parts”/spares… but could turn them on too if I really wanted to.

    2x 40gbps networking for each server.

    Since upstream internet is only 8gbps I let some vms use that bandwidth too… but that doesn’t eat into enough to starve Ceph at all. There’s 2x1gbps for all the normal internet facing services (which also acts as an innate rate limiter for those services).

    Fire extinguisher is in the garage… literal feet from the server. But that specific problem is actually being addressed soon. My dad is setting up his cluster and I fronted him about 1/2 the capacity I have. I intend to sync longterm/slow storage to his box (the truenas box is the proxmox backup server target, so also collects the backups and puts a copy offsite).

    Slow process… Working on it :) Still have to maintain my normal job after all.

    Edit: another possible mitigation I’ve seriously thought about for “fire” are things like these…

    Or those types of modules that some 3d printer people use to automatically handle fires…

    From what I’ve read (I’ve done a few hours of reading on this specific topic at this point[damn you curiosity]). No. They’ve done all of 2 things with Israel in basically a decade. 2 exercises in a decade isn’t really enough to say that there’s any meaningful relationship other than “we’re not enemies”.

    I could be wrong… But I do not get that intent at all from Cyprus, which aligns with their “surprise” at being yelled at from some other country about a country they barely interact with from a military perspective.

    I’m ex-military and have personally participated in more exercises with countries the USA was less friendly with politically.
