I'm wondering if you just posted the link without reading any results and are just doubling down to sound correct.

One of the first articles is AP news reporting UN backed human rights groups calling it genocide

https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-human-rights-663b3a4ba24499d93f3f889e98f8b652

And an article by Time reporting the kidnapping of children being investigated as genocide, and that there is already enough evidence for the allegations

The intervention was a key reason the war ended after multiple years of conflict and ethnic cleansing. Are you saying that ending the war caused more ethnic cleansing afterwards than was already happening? That ending war made things less stable?

It's been widely reported by numerous nations and organizations. Search for "Russian genocide Ukraine" and you'll see plenty of credible sources

Yugoslavia was invading Kosovo and commiting ethnic cleansing of Albanians at the time. Agree or disagree with how it was executed, it fits with the idea that he opposes the aggressors in war

There are a number of alloys that are used when working with desalinization plants, but the effective ones are cost prohibitive.

Even if they had a way of pumping it out cheaper, it still comes with issues that are costly. There are chemicals used during the process which pollute the brine and cost money to remove. It also comes out much warmer than surrounding water which disrupts the ecosystem. The brine eats up oxygen levels and suffocates animal life in the area.

They are trying to dilute the brine before releasing it back to the ocean but this is either not effective enough since you're using salt water from the same source you're pumping into, especially if the area doesn't have strong currents to carry it away. Or you're using water which doesn't have high salt levels and can dilute it to healthy levels, which you might as well just treat and use in the first place instead of using saltwater.

It's not an easy problem to solve at the moment

I'd be concerned about it leaching into the water table with that approach. Plus transport to those mines could be very expensive and complicated

Salt is highly corrosive, especially when concentrated into a slurry. If you dump it directly from shore you kill any local wildlife and destroy the local area before it dilutes. If you pipe it further out into the ocean the pipe will continually need maintenance due to corrosion and makes it more expensive

If you dump it on land you also need to ensure it isn't exposed to wind which will kick it up and cause health hazards to local populations. So you can bury it, but that doesn't scale and adds to the costs

All of that is fixable with the right policies

End zoning restrictions which requires all single family homes in a given area and allow mixed zoning. Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs are doing this right now and there are apartments going up with the ground floor being shops, grocery stores, etc. Minneapolis is the first US city to rein in inflation below 2% because housing hasn't been as much of an issue. They started funding higher density housing back in 2018 and it is paying off tremendously right now.

One you build a few apartment buildings in the same area you can support bussing to the surrounding area, and most people can get around to where they need to for work.

Ideally you get light rail, but nimbyism is a huge pain that is hard to overcome. Still though, just getting to that point reduces the number of trips you need especially if you build bike trails to make short distance commuting even easier without a car.

Another way to mitigate type squatting would be namespacing crates. Much easier to verify who owns the package and related packages

Don't let lack of knowledge ever be the reason to stop trying something in homelabs! Honestly for a beginner resource ChatGPT is where I'd go for these kinds of questions. It does a great job explaining what all the terms mean and you can drill down into topics as needed such as permissions and different terminal commands you'll need

Anyways, this link has a decent description of samba:

https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-and-configure-samba#1-overview

A Samba file server enables file sharing across different operating systems over a network. It lets you access your desktop files from a laptop and share files with Windows and macOS users.

So as long as a computer is on the network it could access files stored on this hard drive. It is super useful as a first homelab project

How does that philosophy come from Windows? Windows was all about tying your application directly to the host OS via the old .net framework and COM. You had to wait for the OS to update before your app could, or the OS could randomly update and break your app

Containers as a technology are almost entirely a Linux thing as well, Windows ships with a full Linux kernel to support it now.
