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

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:

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

I follow various red-team security researchers, like the Security This Week podcast, which has mentioned how easy it makes their jobs when they find a Minecraft server on either the employees network or even a work network.

I'm sure many of the vulnerabilities come from modding like the recent fractureiser virus going around lately. If you kept it 100% vanilla it would be more secure, but at the end of the day you have a platform designed to run modified code, most of which is downloaded from external sources, and you're going to open that up to the world? I certainly don't want that within ping's reach of my home computer or firewall

You will want to isolate the Minecraft server because it is notoriously easy to hack. If you can isolate it then Cloudflare is better than exposing your IP and opening ports at least. Tailscale would require registering each client using VPN so it isn't accessable by anyone except trusted clients, and you're not exposing ports/IP.

No matter what though, don't let that server be able to talk to anything else on your network or even the admin login on your router/firewall. Treat it like it contains malware already

What is your upload speed? Many ISPs give you 50 download but <5 upload, that would be a huge bottleneck

The biggest issue is security though. Unless you're setting up a VPN that only works when you set up a secured client on each device, I wouldn't trust that server to have access anywhere on the network. I would strongly recommend against opening any ports on your firewall as well. Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnels are popular for homelabs that might be useful here and free for your use case

Eh, my dad read me Jurassic Park at that age and I loved it. It all depends on the child. Most kids are more mature than you'd think if you give them the chance
