Israel launches fresh strikes on Gaza as Qatar fears for truce ( www.rfi.fr )

Khan Yunis (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) – Gaza health authorities said fresh Israeli air strikes killed five people on Thursday, as ceasefire mediator Qatar warned the renewed attacks threatened to undermine the fragile weeks-long truce between Israel and Hamas....

Mihies ,

Such a big beautiful peace nobody could make.

Universal vaccine does not exist and won't exist with current approach as viruses are mutating.

Mihies ,

Do you have an url for that? I'd be a bit sceptical about that as viruses survived everything so far. And I suppose they'd still mutate if we targeted that.

Mihies ,

Exchange is very much kicking and Thunderbird had ews support for some time but it was in beta.

Mihies ,

Yep, but still better than never 🤷‍♂️. I was really looking forward to it as I recently migrated from Windows to Linux only to find out that it doesn't work for me for some reason.

US proposals to end Russia's war involve Ukraine giving up land, some weapons, sources say ( www.reuters.com )

The U.S. has signalled to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Ukraine must accept a U.S.-drafted framework to end the war with Russia that proposes Kyiv giving up territory and some weapons, two people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday....

Mihies ,

Indeed, all the Orange cares for is how to praise Putin and make deals with him. Meanwhile is happy to profit from selling weapons to Ukraine.

Mihies ,

Don't hold your breath in EU, though. We bend our knees quickly. It's just fear that makes us sick with Ukraine.

Mihies ,

Yep, Slovene far right SDS got a ton of money through a good Russian fellow Orban.

Mihies ,

Besides what floofloof mentioned, there is also tiny detail of US journalist being dismembered in his command. But hey, it happens as the Orange says.

Mihies ,

Police has enough power already, they just didn't use it for some reason. This power will be abused plenty for sure when SDS or other far right part comes back in power. This is a stupid populistic law just because elections are near.

Mihies ,

Why is no other reporter backing her up and asking same questions?

UN Security Council adopts US resolution on Trump's Gaza plan ( www.reuters.com )

WASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The UN Security Council on Monday voted to adopt a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza and authorizing an international stabilization force for the Palestinian enclave....

Mihies ,

What is wrong with UN? Trump and Blair at the helm? This is not even a bad joke.

Poland rail explosion: PM says blast was 'unprecedented act of sabotage' ( www.bbc.com )

Poland's prime minister has said an explosion on a railway line leading to the Ukraine border this weekend was caused by "an unprecedented act of sabotage", and vowed to catch those responsible "regardless of who their backers are"....

Mihies ,

That is so US :)

Mihies ,

Doing that you only helped the Orange in bringing in even more tariffs.

Mihies ,

Who screwed them in first place, eh?
So, the short term effect of tariffs doesn't show any inflation which makes the Orange go - look, no inflation, I should impose even more tariffs. Which scenario is better for customers in mid-long term then? Short one when inflation hits hard and TACO or this, when businesses silently pay and suffer while consumers will be hit harder later on?

In reversal, Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files ( apnews.com )

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal as a growing number of those in his own party supported it. ...

Mihies ,

After FBI agents redacted all mentions of him?

Mihies ,

One of the tragedies here is that he participated in imperialistic aggression against Iraq.

Tired of reinstalling every time you tweak your system? Build a resilient Linux desktop with Btrfs, LUKS and borg in one afternoon

I was sick of reinstalling after every experiment, so I built a desktop that survives distro hopping, dumb package upgrades and the occasional X11/Wayland meltdown. The trick is simple: encrypted LUKS root, Btrfs subvolumes with aggressive zstd compression and snapshotting, plus borg backups mirrored offsite with rclone. I can...

Mihies ,

Restic for backups works as well.

Mihies ,

Why, though?

Mihies ,

Luckily they run out of all sorts of missiles and tanks year or so ago. /s

Mihies , (edited )

TBH that happens when there is enough RAM available. I'd be surprised if the usage didn't get go down under memory pressure.

Mihies ,

What e-waste? Your computer still works, you can install other browsers and apps 🤷‍♂️

Mihies ,

Oh, memories 🤩

*17xNth murder

Mihies ,

I hope so but I wouldn't bet on it. How exactly do you think Venezuela can pull this?

Mihies ,

TBH the most loses from Yemen were airplanes thrown into the sea from the air carriers.

Mihies ,

You sure though? I'd expect it at similar or lower level as Iran was. I might be wrong, though, certainly hope so. Funnily enough, they have also 2 or 3 F-16s.

Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved ( www.businessinsider.com )

Indulge me for the coming delusion, but if we ignore who this is, forget all the reasons we know that we can't trust him, and allow ourselves just a few moments to hope that we could live in such a world....

*his poverty, right

Judge rules Trump administration failed to meet legal requirements for deploying troops to Portland ( apnews.com )

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal judge in Oregon ruled Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration failed to meet the legal requirements for deploying the National Guard to Portland after the city and state sued in September to block the deployment....

Mihies ,

I'll wait for supreme court 🍿👀

Mihies ,

You are actually describing us government and president, aren't you?

Mihies ,

Yep, got that from reading comments here.

*state terrorism

Mihies ,

Of course they did, genocide enablers gotta do what genocide enablers do 🤷‍♂️ And cash it along the way.

Didn't Nazis use the other swastika - facing right?

Awww, Windows. You can mitigate that by using a PIN on bitlocker drive. Possibly.

Edit: also more secure with security keys: https://www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/secure-disk-for-bitlocker/

Mihies ,

Next announcements are coming from China, N. Korea, Pakistan, India and so on. Israel will cowardly remain silent. So much winning, so much peace.

Mihies ,

It's the best and most beautiful shutdown ever, nobody could do it so magnificent except for perhaps Lincoln, but he didn't do it.

Mihies ,

Like Hollywood movies', it's a remake of those pre 2nd ww years when fascism and nazism were on the rise. Historians and we can observe first hand how it unfolds transition from democracy.

Mihies ,

Hydrogen is not easy as it seems. Nor is cheap but that's less important.

Mihies ,

I'd say this is the least problematic aspect of all. If it was a viable energy storage solution, then it'd work even with higher energy input.

Mihies ,

Hindenburg joins the chat.
Not only that, also really hard to contain and other not so nice features.

Mihies ,

He was gonna to stop the war in 24hrs, why wouldn't they vote for him? Oh, the amount of stupid is beyond imagination...

Mihies ,

Is it any different if it was a pastor?

Mihies ,

Corrected headline for you:
'university "had negotiated directly with a foreign intelligence service to trade my academic freedom for access to the Chinese student market,"'

Mihies ,

They are not comparable, though. I guess you're referring to flamingos. They are not that precise and much more prone to being shot down or jammed.

Mihies ,

Not in absolute terms :)

Mihies ,

Ditto. Also insanely configurable.
