Russia is in a tough position, hard to take any treaties the west offers seriously at this point.
Gotta feeling the people in the Russian government arguing in favour of total military victory are getting more confident in their argument.

Council Estate Media had some concerning searches performed against them. 🤔
"It seems clear that I am being targeted because I am morally opposed to genocide. The sad thing about this is I didn’t even write about Israel or Palestine much until this genocide started and all I ask is that it ends. That’s the most reasonable possible request and yet it is too much to ask of these lunatics."

The last words of Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC, repeated here because the mainstream media seem unable to repeat it.
"My name is Aaron Bushnell, I am an active duty member of the United States airforce and I will no longer be complicit in genocide.
I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.
Free Palestine."

Been here for 24 hours now, I think its time for an #introduction. I've been trying to wane myself off of centralised corporate social media for the past couple of years, by doing more blogging and also having a look at some de-centralised alternatives.
Have used #Mastodon & other #ActivityPub applications for a few years - and while some apps like #Pixelfed are good and shows much potential, Mastodon is rapidly centralising and as a result turning into a few large echo-chambers, unsuitable for any kind of political discussion, give it a few years and with ever larger blocklists it'll be barely federated. I've run my own instances for years and really want it to work, but its really hard to encourage people to sign up when the servers the official apps now push are so heavily censored, and they can't even find half the accounts I recommend. :-|
Oh and its nice to see people talking about crypto without being piled on here. :-)
Mainly interested in technology and #politics, work as an IT Manager during the day, plays with various tech things at night. Do enjoy #history, a bit of #photography, #motorcycling. Politically a #socialist, Labour Party (UK) member for 17 years, *not* happy with #Starmer though - that should sum up my politics. :-)
Currently using #Plebstr on Android and trying out various web-based applications on PC and haven't quite settled on one yet, am open to recommendations.
Thanks for all the welcomes I've had from people so far.

Either should work fine to be honest, don't let not using Debian before put you off - if you install it with Gnome its basically the same as Ubuntu, if you're using CLI only - its essentially exactly the same.
If you're literally running as a home server - VM on Windows is fine as long as the host is on when you need it, that said RPi4 is good and I've got two at home running various containers - but then maybe you wanna do other things with it. :-)
