  • Generally it’s simpler if you have your NAS separate from your application server. Synology runs NAS really well, but a separate application server for docker/etc is a lot easier to use and easier to upgrade than running on Synology. Your application server can even have a GPU for media transcoding or AI processing. Trying to do everything on one box makes things more complicated and fragile.

    I would recommend something like Debian or NixOS for the application server, and you should be able to manage it over SSH. You can then mount your NAS as an NFS share, and then run all your applications in Docker or NixOS, using the NAS to store all your state.
















  • It’s impossible to control the supply side, aside from stabilizing the countries that refugees are coming from.

    Any measure to try to handle refugees outside of the EU inevitably ends with the EU paying corrupt dictators to go and shove refugees in tents and torture/kill them, see Turkey, Egypt, Mexico, etc. It also opens up the door for dictators like Putin and Erdogan to hold these refugees over the EU’s head, and use them as a weapon to flood Europe with refugees if the EU ever tries to hold these dictators responsible. Any attempt to pay Turkey/Egypt/etc to handle refugees is a wasteful PR stunt at best, and a footgun that causes human suffering at worst.

    A sustainably-financed way to handle refugees inside the EU, and also having a quick way to catch those gaming the system, is the only way to reach a sustainable solution.

    I don’t know too much about this bill, and I’m sensitive to the human rights arguments that the left has made. But,considering how this bill is simultaneously criticized by the far right, while also smartly reducing the burden of asylum intake, I get the feeling that this bill finally struck the right compromise to get this damn immigration debate out of European politics.
