    I don’t think scantions work.

    With as many participants as there are in the global economy it makes sense: the sanctioned country can easily change suppliers and not have to change policy.

    Prior to the war in Iran, the US had sanctions on Iranian goods, especially oil. Iran has been selling mostly to China. Crude oil is about 56% of Iran’s exports.

    The point is, Iran still sells crude oil and makes revenue.

    (I’m not defending Trump, he scrapped the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and (re)imposed sanctions on Iran.)




  • I’ve got Proxmox running on a nvme mirror. Two HDDs are passed to Turnkey Linux mediaserver; they are mirrored with BTRFS and act as storage. I am satisfied with all (prox, turnkey, btrfs) and would recommend.

    I had one BTRFS drive fail, and replacing it with no experience took about an hour.

    I do wish there was better user documentation for WebDAVcgi, the WebDAV frontend in Turnkey linux mediaserver.

    mediaserver comes with Samba, so I use that to connect devices like phone or laptop to the server

    Turnkey’s mediaserver was my replacement for Openmediavault with Filebrowser plugin. Filebrowser creates an internal user to write files for anything uploaded via web interface, so if you mount the folder later via NFS, the permissions don’t match. Openmediavault would stall or crash a lot as a container and especially as a VM, but maybe it runs better on bare metal.



  • Time travel to Earth’s past would be cool to study history. But how to not accidentally ruin our timeline?

    I think the real progress is to be made in space. Send a probe to a solar system 50 LY away but back in time to arrive the same day you sent it. It can travel really slow too, because time isn’t a concern.

    If there is a habitable planet, send settlers there at the earliest time in history possible. Settlers can be robots that just build infrastructure and plant stuff for 10k years. Then go yourself.
