Isn't Telegram becoming so annoying?
  • I'm not paying for Telegram and I haven't noticed missing out anywhere because of it. I'm using the APK file instead of the Play Store version because the latter censors Russian media channels (and I hate censorship). I wasn't even aware there were premium accounts.

    I'm in 2 dozen channels, have a few friends who mainly use Telegram instead of the competitors and I haven't noticed a single issue, except for their homegrown encryption scheme.

  • Twisted Anti-Vaxxers Rush to Blame Matthew Perry’s Death on Covid Vaccine
  • People are too brainwashed for that. The companies got their billions and people won't be ready to accept that they complied and took the vaccines that are now slowly surfacing auto immune diseases and cancers in like every 10th or so person.

    (I got the vaccines and I'm fighting to improve my immune system every day and instead of listening, mods banned me from another community just to speak of my experience.)

  • Should you get a COVID booster? Here are 7 things to consider.
  • I'm somewhat worried about the rhetoric in the comments here. I've taken 3 shots and I was pretty sure that it didn't do anything to harm me but I've lately noticed a lot of sudden COVID like symptoms without every having had COVID (except for once in early 2020) and it feels like my immune system and my general health have taken quite a hit over the past 2 years since getting the first shot. I'm relatively fit, often active, healthy diet. Before switching to a more alkaline diet I felt very fatigued since my 3rd shot, had strange muscle cramps and sudden muscle twitches that I couldn't explain and it's gotten worse over this year. I've been using breathwork, supplements and an even more healthy diet to regain some of my health from before 2021.

    There are studies and statistics showing a worrying trend of rising excess deaths since the vaccination campaign started, often even showing almost no rise in deaths despite COVID being reported as being very deadly, especially to old people. Sure, could be nothing in the grand scheme of things, I don't know, I'm not a medical professional but a lot of these numbers are too widespread to be just part of some right wing anti-science nutjob's disinfo campaign.

    Please don't forget that you're talking to people here and that you're giving pretty strict medical advice without really knowing anything about OP or the people just scrolling by. Vaccines, as any other medical treatment, have risks and come with side effects. In order for people to be able to consent to a medical treatment, they shouldn't be socially pressured to do if it may be detrimental to their health.

    Is anyone using the minio-operator? I'm hesitant because I can't find a lot of documentation on how to recover from cluster outages or partial disk failures.

    The era of cheap streaming is officially over
  • You pay for the amount of storage you want, then you select whatever torrents you want to download, either via a browser extension or services like chill.institute that look through common torrent search engines for you and give the opportunity to download instantly to your put.io account. You're completely in charge of your library and put.io won't show you anything you didn't download yourself.

  • New Covid vaccines are on the way as 'Eris' variant rises
  • If I had to do it all over again, I'd skip the shots and rely on my immune system. Something definitely wasn't right with these shots, in my view.

    There have been sane scientific reports about impurities and traces of foreign DNA being found in samples of the vaccines from all vendors and a study implying that two shots caused cancers in mice (https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/oncology/articles/10.3389/fonc.2023.1158124) doesn't inspire confidence either. I know all the "fact checks" around the topic, no need to link me to it. They're all written by people with no medical expertise.

    The entire reporting about the pandemic was (in my opinion) highly unscientific, excluded critical voices (real doctors, not some snake oil salespeople) and came basically down to "just have faith in the science" and I feel terribly stupid for having participated in the sharade (not implying the entire pandemic was fake, but the way it was handled) and I hated myself for quite some time for having given into the pressure instead of listening to my intuition.

    These vaccines definitely screwed with my health. My heart didn't perform as well for about a year (confirmed by a doctor), I felt fatigued despite having been active and fit despite the lockdowns (also confirmed by a doctor), I definitely had some issues with blood flow/clotting and my lymphatic system is definitely still trying to get rid of something.

    I'm not giving health advice here but please be aware that even if we accept the official number of 1/10000 likelihood of the vaccines having severe side effects (and I don't think that's true anymore based just on observations in my family and social circles, like women having screwed up periods, several miscarriages of otherwise healthy women, sudden appearances of cancer in people under 50) - if you're the 1, it'll fuck you up and no one will give damn. After talking to a few people who now can no longer work after having taken the shots, prepare for massive gaslighting, especially from doctors. Don't trust in whatever is left of social security systems to care about you. They've all been told they're imagining things or that they just had a genetic predisposition and would've had these issues even without the shots.

    My trust in the medical establishment is at an all time low. And now they're planning on dumping mRNA into everything, like animal vaccines and crops. This doesn't seem right. I have a real bad feeling about this.

    I'll accept the risk if getting COVID from now on.

    I was never anti vaccines, btw. But there's been so much suspicious shit going on around this whole topic that my trust "in (capitalist) science" is in shambles. Just the appearance of "sudden adult death syndrome" right after the vaccinations started was highly suspicious and should've warranted at least a pause of the vaccinations. At the very least, I'll have to assume that it was more important for people to get back to work as quick as possible and to "return to normal" was a terrible driving force behind the way of this pandemic was handled.

    I'm sure people will come at me for all of this. I'm not (alt) right, I'm not anti science, but I worry that the rushed rollout of these shots was a big mistake. That doesn't mean that the extreme anti vaxxers were right either.

    Edit: Not to mention how my girlfriend's migraines have increased severely and that her Astrazeneca and Moderna batches are known for having headaches as a side effect according to VAERS.

    To the first 2 downvotes: Thanks for proving my point.

  • First King Oyster Mushroom growth, is this good?

    This is my first time growing King Oyster mushrooms. They've been in the mostly damp cellar for about 2 weeks now, it's the best I can offer in terms of temperature/moisture/air quality. I gave them water every 3-4 days but I'm not sure if it's enough and I've just cut open the bag to give them more breathing space.

    Appreciate any feedback! :)

    How do you cope?

    I hope this belongs here, since it's not a news article.

    I live in Europe and I've mostly been the guy people listened to when they admitted to not feeling well informed on international conflict situations like the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and US/NATO's more secretive and subversive conflicts/coups and backroom deals with autoritarian regimes around the world, all in the name of democracy and freedom.

    Can't help it, I'm curious, I like reading books and I think connecting the dots is rewarding for my ADHD. The NATO connections to post WWII-nazis, GLADIO and other stay-behind groups, the CIA ties - it was all thrilling and interesting, but unfortunately part of our reality. During the Wikileaks days even the people most critical of my assessments came and admitted that they were wrong and that they now understood they had been duped. And now, they said, "we know better". They all went back to reading the very news that consistently lied to them.

    There still was a semi-reliable left/left-centrist press in Europe that you could point the few normies allergic to "not verified by authority" reporting to, mostly written by a few journalists who didn't bend as much to pressure of falling in line with drumming for the democracy exporting business.

    What happened? Of course the big media companies always always bent to the will of the warmongering establishment but there were always some sane voices doing somewhat decent investigative journalism targetting the common narratives, even if just to be able to deflect criticism by pointing to their work. How did they get rid of almost every sane voice? Did the mostly senior editors just die off/retire?

    Today I am surrounded by people telling me obvious lies with a blind conviction of almost religious zealotry that can often be debunked with 2 minutes of research in spite of the downfall of major SEO and "24/7 breaking news repitition" infested search engines.

    I always knew that most people wouldn't spend the time on research to get an understanding of how this world functions and that Western democracy and liberty are basically strawmen that can be weaponized against anyone who stands in the way of Western interests. But I also always knew that I could rely on some people being receptive of well sourced information. My convincing of some people of course didn't put a dent anywhere but you at least felt like it was still possible to reach people and breakt through the programming.

    Even the people calling themselves antifascists are now ignoring the obvious neo Nazi-ties of Ukrainian Banderites while chanting OUN slogans. People are openly calling for censorship of the Internet in the name of "safety" and if you equate "fact checks" by the very people opposed to investigative journalism with the obvious risks of centralized Ministries of Truth being erected in front of our eyes, they vehemently disagree and demand that "freezepeach" must come to an end.

    I've never been this worried about the world I'm living in. The US and Western elites are hellbent on provoking a war with every nation that's no longer willing to bend to their unipolar world order, with Europeans taking the brute of it, whether it be economically or, should the war escalate, even on future frontlines.

    Is there any serious opposition left? How do you cope with the reality we're headed for? I've never been an optimist but I managed to keep my pessimism in check, until now.

    Kubernetes @lemmy.ml zephyrvs @lemmy.ml
    Helm feels utterly broken, am I the only one?

    I've been working with Kubernetes since 2015 and I've mangled with handcrafted manifests including almost duplicate manifests for staging/production environments, played around with stuff like Cue, built lots glue (mostly shell script) to automate manifest-handling and -generation and I also enjoy parts of Kustomize. When Helm started to appear it seemed like a terrible hack, especially since it came with the Tiller-dependency to handle Helm-managed state-changes inside of the clusters. And while they dropped Tiller (thankfully), I still haven't made my peace with Helm.

    Go-templating it awful to read, a lot of Helm charts don't really work out of the box, charts can be fed values that aren't shown via helm show values ./chart, debugging HelmChart $namespace/$release-$chartname is not ready involves going over multiple logs spread over different parts of the cluster and I could go on and on. And yet, almost every project that goes beyond offering Dockerfile+docker-compose.yaml just releases a Helm Chart for their app.

    Am I the only one who is annoyed by Helm? Have I been using it wrongly? Is there something I've been missing?

    In case you're a Helm maintainer: Please don't take it personally, my issue is not with the people behind Helm!

    Hermeticism @lemmy.ml zephyrvs @lemmy.ml
    What meaning does Hermeticism have for you nowadays?

    I first discovered Hermeticism while listening to Orthodox Black Metal and studying the lyrics peaked my interest. After consuming psychedelic mushrooms I noticed that I can no longer remain an atheist and a week later I submerged myself in the Corpus Hermeticum and I've been rereading it ever since, always discovering something new.

    Would love to know more about your paths!
