  • Actually you are both wrong, since the Balkenkreuz and the Eiserne Kreuz are but two of hundreds of variations of the same symbol, the black cross of the German Order of knights, dating back to the 12th century. It’s the same symbol.

    And not only that, the particular variation you are going on about, the Balkenkreuz, black cross with a thick white and small black outline except for the endings of the cross, isn’t a Nazi symbol. It was used in the first world war already.

    Which is all completely ignoring that it’s a simple cross with a single outline, one of the most basic shapes there is, used by a medical company.

    All to say, I see how it’s easy to mistake, but you are wrong on the facts and you are airing your grievances on the wrong venue. Write to the company, maybe they will even agree with you and change it.










  • For those that were as confused as me:

    Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity (“I’m just trying to have a debate”), and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of “incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate”,[5] and has been likened to a denial-of-service attack targeted at human beings.[6] The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki,[7] which The Independent called “the most apt description of Twitter you’ll ever see”.[8]

    From Wikipedia:Sealioning

    P.S.: the comic in question:

    1. What would be the advantage of running Nextcloud as a docker, instead of within a VM?

      • No idea really beyond the usual VM/container trade-offs, I guess it would allow you to use orchestration tools and similar for Docker.
    2. What would be a sensible way to have an incremental/differential backup of the VM/Docker?

      • If you use Proxmox as your hypervisor it comes with a sophisticated backup solution, probably the same for ESXi or whatever. Not sure about Docker.
    3. The storage usage of my Nextcloud instance exceeds 1TB. If I run it within a VM, I will have to connect it to a 2TB SSD. Does it make sense to add the external storage space to the VM? […]

      • That’s what I would do at least. Connecting external storage space to a VM/container is relatively trivial and Nextcloud recommends to separate binaries and data directory anyway. Plus this allows you to use different backup strategies for data versus binaries+metadata.

    In case you haven’t yet, I’d also recommend taking a look at this: https://github.com/nextcloud/vm

    It’s basically a collection of three shell scripts to install, manage, and update Nextcloud. Last time I tried it also worked on LXC/LXD, not only VMs. It would probably work on Docker as well and has some files related to that in the migrate/docker directory.
