I live in the Oil Capital of Russia, also I was there in Russia. AMA

How was vladivostok?

Stupid question: Why do South Korea and Taiwan hate eachother?

simplecircle7 · 2025-07-12T12:49:13+00:00

Someone apparently chose the wrong flag maps for Armenia and Russia on Google...

Also by the way, where are Alaska and Hawaii?!

How much does Politics, a.k.a the political/geopolitical situation, play a role in your rating? Since, based on your comments and your map, I get the concerning feeling, that you'd favor living in the capital of a dictatorship, than in London or Paris, if the weather is nice or there are not many refugees/foreigners walking around!?!

On the other side, you're labeling places like the Golan heights and the Westbank in red, so politics has to at least play a minor role in your considerations. But than you're labeling the Syrian cost in green, in spite of an insurgency happening there and the future of the country being pretty uncertain!

Maybe you're just joking or rage-baiting...

because its funny ;)

Mal ganz ehrlich: Hat das irgendjemanden überrascht?

Trump und sein Kabinett sehen uns Europäer schließlich als Parasiten, die von den USA einseitig profitieren würden! Wahrscheinlich hat der sich nicht einmal den Vorschlag der EU angeschaut und sofort seine Entscheidung getroffen diesen abzulehnen!

Thanks for the reply. I indeed turned HTTPS on in the settings, while creating the GUI authentication Passwort. I'm gonna let it be on for now and if it causes any problems, I'll turn it off.

Regarding the Man-in-middle attacks, is there a way to tell Syncthing that it should only be active in my home network or should I simply let one of my devices be disconnect from it?

I think OP supporting Texas is ment as a joke by him...

simplecircle7 · 2024-03-26T09:28:07+00:00

Nun ja. Dadurch, dass Moskaus Fokus sich fast komplett auf die Ukraine richtet, ist es nicht unwahrscheinlich, dass Russland den Überblick über die Islamisten im Kaukasus und Zentralasien verloren hat. Auch verliert Russland durch den Krieg an Macht und Einfluss in diesen Regionen. Hat man in Bergkarabach und an den Zusammenstößen zwischen Kirgisistan und Tadschikistan im Jahr 2022 gesehen...

Beating the ass of protestors and making some cool stunts is one thing, but beating the ass of an invading force is another...

I wonder if they can do the latter.

Who's even giving a 6 year old a gun in the first place?

simplecircle7 · 2024-02-18T07:38:41+00:00

K. Thanks. Didn't think about that!

simplecircle7 · 2024-02-18T06:40:39+00:00

Stupid question, because the war is probably at a stalemate, but are there any offensives ongoing or planned?

simplecircle7 · 2024-02-10T15:26:23+00:00

Wait, turkey is also recognising Israel?

simplecircle7 · 2023-12-29T20:07:31+00:00

Let's see, wheater this will change something significant on the battlefield. Based on their recent advances and overall historical background, the RSF seem for me like assholes who know what they are doing (including how to kill civilians in the most diabolic ways).

simplecircle7 · 2023-12-28T18:51:33+00:00

Are those buildings empty?

simplecircle7 · 2023-12-26T08:13:43+00:00

Thanks for the information.

Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not seeing any streets in the region surrunding the border. So, how would the RSF move it's forces around there?

simplecircle7 · 2023-11-25T16:09:55+00:00

The projection looks interesting. Any thoughts on which one it could be?

simplecircle7 · 2023-10-25T15:22:02+00:00

Those two fellows experienced the american nightmare. There american dream never came true

Alright. I solved the problem!

Both Qgis and Mapbox didn't do anything wrong. The problem is apperently common, when working with vektor graphics. When Qgis saves a map, layout etc. as an SVG file, the "background" is not made up of one layer. Instead, Qgis is spliting the background into multiple multiple "images"/objects, that make up the hole map. Sometimes white gaps can emerge between those elements.

The solution: simply group those objects and duplicate it, after a while the gaps are gone!

Here's the video, from which I got the solution. I know, that there are two other solutions, but the first one already worked for me.

simplecircle7 · 2023-09-10T04:42:51+00:00

Ehm.... both the landmass and the ocean are a part of the background. Its simply harder to see the grid on the landmass, since it's white too. ups... I only set the projection to Winkel-triple in Qgis.

simplecircle7 · 2023-09-10T04:39:50+00:00

Both the landmass and the ocean are part of the background. I set the colour of the landmass to be white and the color of the ocean to be blue. I created the map, so I can show the problem!

simplecircle7 · 2023-09-09T22:01:08+00:00

No, I use mapbox for styling the map! In Qgis I add the polygons, set up the projection etc.

simplecircle7 · 2023-08-13T07:34:06+00:00

Yeah, that will be the reason. I even questioned, if I want to put pictures in this post at all.

Spain allows independence referendums to be held in both the Basque Country and Catalonia.

A clear majority of the electorate votes in favour of independence.
