  • Why do so many “important” people die in plane crashes in the past couple of decades?

    • Andy Cecere (2026 - US Bank)

    • Joshua Base (2026 - Capital Factory)

    • Christophe de Margerie (2014 - Total energies)

    • Petr Kelner (2021 - PPF Group)

    • Kobe Bryant (2020)

    • Glen de Vries (2021 - Medidata Solutions)

    • Gary Knopp ( 2020 - politician)

    • Steve Appleton (2012 - Micron CEO)

    • Cheryl heinze ( 2012 - politician)

    • Alison Des Forges ( 2009 - human right investigator)

    • Beverly Eckert (2009 - activist on 9/11 committee)

    • wilhemson executives in 2012

    • Now the CEO of Ubisoft in 2026

    That is just in the US, so many other rich businessmen have also died in plane crashes in other countries. Romania, Italy, Brazil, Russia, etc… Are aircraft crashes just way more common than the companies want us to believe? I was always told that airplanes were statistically safer than cars.

    Also why are plane crashes so often surrounded in suspicious circumstances like the IBM plane crash where a ton of executives were killed and immediately following the other IBM execs pivoted the company focus (which kind of led to their downfall in the consumer market).





  • Wanted to setup opencloud but it doesn’t work without 3-4 additional containers and CNAMEs on the domain.

    I simply wanted to spin it up locally and test it out, but it doesn’t accept any admin credentials whatsoever and wiping every file to completely restart leads to the same behavior.

    If the simplest bit of startup flow local first time login doesn’t work, then why would the rest and why would I trust it? Also it isn’t a certificate error with not setting up SSL or something because I also tried it on my domain with all the correct certificates and got the exact same behavior. It doesn’t even allow you to try a different admin password when it claims that the last is wrong. You get one try and otherwise have to wipe the entire volume.

    There are issues on github for it and workarounds with very YMMV results, for me none of it worked.






  • I would suggest first doing the basics first before diving in and trying to run cracked games. I had trouble and had to go through multiple troubleshooting steps to get DODI repacks working on windows even. the difference is there are a ton of resources of people spending hours and hours fixing broken cracked games on windows (dodi Hogwarts legacy has like 100+ threads on reddit with fixes) where Linux just isn’t popular enough yet to have a big community find fixes for your cracked games for you already and the fixes from windows often don’t work.

    First try browsers, steam games, streamimg, and light use while dual booting, you can still keep windows for the games that don’t work on Linux.

    It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Just take it one step at a time. You are trying to reduce tracking. That is going to be 90% internet browsing, so if you already switch to Linux for that, you are much of the way there.
