Heh, I have two laptops: one with Arch and one with Ubuntu. I like both systems. I guess i like triggering myself.

Also very often overlooked: the Amazonas as we know it today is NOT wild in any way. It is a cultural landscape that started around the time when humans settled that area but not later than 11tya

[…] large portions of the Amazon rainforest are probably the result of centuries of human management, rather than naturally occurring as has previously been supposed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_rainforest#cite_ref-24

a surrender condition that lets Russia retain all the land they’ve taken

A while ago there was a prediction about the true intentions of the russia negotiating: they want to stop Ukraine from succeeding as a state, since that would be a bad omen for a neighbouring kleptocracy.
If this prediction comes true the outcome you describe is actually very unlikely, because the russia would rather continue fighting just to keep the region in shambles.

NetworkManager’s Gnome GUI works with wireguard config files. If you are using Plasma you would need to install some alpha software to do that in the gui but you can always fall back to nmcli which also supports wireguard configs via the import command.

Just to expand on the smartctl bit: you can totally use smartctl with some RAID controllers!
See here for examples / supported cards: https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_RAID-Controllers

a better than usual split for some families

That is exactly what counts as credit in this case, because this split is made possible by some other families crediting the bid. Basically writing “i dont want this money give it to someone else” on a figurative piece of paper and bidding with that instead of cash.

Can we set up dial-up servers for this occasion, like during the arab spring protests? Assuming there are still classical modems in Belarus.
It is low tech, but it is quite hard to block without blocking all telephone connections as well.

I think you can even draw a defining distinction there because if it is not believed then pseudohalucination would be the better description.

isnt the name of one of the hl2 maps “little odessa”?

Most likely launcher would be Gripen. So this kinda depends on Sweden more than on Germany. Though the signals i saw coming from Sweden are that they would be willing to give Ukraine what they need, including fighter jets, provided that NATO takes up the slack in air defence in Sweden.

That is not only not right; it is not even wrong

Many classical email clients have the option to edit the senders address while composing the email. If the mail server does not allow this you usually get an error message on sending.

You are technically correct in saying that it’s not a registration. Instead it’s a sponsoring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponsored_top-level_domain

senders can only be easily forged if you control the senders mail server or if they don’t use best practices for running a mail server.

• DKIM
• DMARC

there are cryptographic signatures on almost all mails sent by large mail providers these days, which makes it very hard to just forge an email that will hold up to closer examination with the help of the provider. so basically the IT techs of the company would need to be on board with whatever the perpetrator is doing, for them to get away with it.

The situation isn’t that different in Germany: emails can be used as evidence in court, though they aren’t as strong as evidence as say: a signed letter. There is also the issue with proving that an email actually arrived, but i would assume that in this case that is already covered.

Trying to remember what i learned in history here, i hope i get at least most of it right:

• the political institutions of the Weimar republic were not as balanced and protected from interference as in other democracies
• many parties were against the existence of the Weimar Republic
• they differed a little in what they wanted instead though, ranging from reintroducing the monarchy with a few republican elements, to full fledged socialism
• the difference between the parties made finding compromises very difficult and often resulted in stalemates in the legislative, because of missing checks this did not affect the executive as much though
• especially the monarchists liked the idea of heaving a leader that can overrule the parliament if needed and so it was easy for Hitler to get them to agree that they would all be better off with him breaking the stalemate so to speak. So they formed a coalition
• see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harzburg_Front
• Those parties also had no qualms with banning other parties just because they disagreed on something, which Hitler was very happy to do, starting with the communists and ending with a complete ban on forming political parties after every serious contender was eliminated

Do you know how many parties had members in the parliament of the Weimar Republic when Hitler was named Chancellor?
I learned in school – not sure if this part is entirely accurate but its an interesting idea anyway – that this situation was precisely why there is a ~5% of votes, lower barrier for parties sending representatives in many modern European democracies.

basically since around the 1960s bombers dont need to “drop” bombs anymore. They only designate the target and the FCS drops the bombs.

Actually using AI gibberish for this might be the best strategy of all, since Reddit seems hell bent on making money with AI training and feeding AI generated text into AI training has been shown to yield increasingly worse results over time. So you make the product Reddit is selling less attractive.
