I use Hetzner’s Storage Share (which is a nextcloud instance) as my drive and pay around 5€ / mo for 1 TB. Depending on the features you want you could also use their Storage Box which is more like a plain network drive, and cheaper… like 13€ / mo for 5 TB.
I’m a long time Linux user and a programmer. What I love about it (besides privacy, non-pushiness etc.) is that I can pull pretty much whatever program or tool I need from package manager and that command-line lets me integrate many command line tools with graphical apps.
Just yesterday I made a little script that pulls weather data from a “non-official” weather station that is closer to me and stores it in a csv-file, then I could bind a key combination to fire another script that plots and shows me that data. It’s just a few command line tools mashed together. A few days ago I wrote little scripts that control lighting in my house and I can bind keys to those as well… maybe that’s “tinkering” too but they’re small things that make my life a little bit better :) Is that impossible to do in Windows? No, but Linux has much less friction.
I use Youtube-shorts block -add-on. It rewrites the url for shorts and shows them as normal videos (because they are). IDK why they had to make a new purposefully shitty player for them.
Siistiä! Menestystä opintoihisi! (Google will translate the latter to ‘good luck with your studies’ which isn’t exactly right. We do not wish luck as much as English-speaking people do, menestys = success)
Yeah, guessed they might be Finnish because of the username but that didn’t turn out to be the case =)
Guessed based on the username but sometimes it misses =) Anyway, glad you got here :)
One of the biggest problems when it comes to integration is that those immigrants were massed into certain places, usually poor neighborhoods where they formed their own somewhat closed communities and didn’t intermingle with the local population. So the local population didn’t “have to” interact with them and vice versa. So, they didn’t learn the language as fast, didn’t form connections to get somewhere… those areas plummeted deeper into poverty… which radicalizes both sides.
It would’ve been better to sprinkle them among various areas so they could have taken part in the existing communities, they would’ve learned the language faster and prejudices would’ve dissolved faster.
Why didn’t that happen? People with more money and power didn’t want them among themselves. Classism, racism and also capitalism at work. Government can try to change those but it can take decades.
You should be able to do that, you’d just need to set up and maintain the Nextcloud instance yourself :)
