There were cluster bombs raining on the beach after russian AA shot down one of the rockets. But IIRC that beach was close to the military base, so it was pretty stupid to even go there.
Some people really want that Darwin award.
Plus there’s russian propaganda with 100% successful AA and everything being under control with their 3 day special military operation.
What kills Civilization for me is the phase in which I just wait for production or other stat to fill up and there’s nothing interesting to do for couple turns.
Civilization Revolution is kind of black sheep of the Civ family, because it’s “dumbed down” and “not a true civilization game”, but IMO it has much better pacing.
Probably not what you’re asking for, but I have an impression, that your primary motivation is curiosity and just good feeling of using the open platform, so I figured I’ll mention it.
I’m using ESP32-C3 boards with some sensors and ESPHome to monitor air quality in my house. The board is RISC-V based and can be bought for real cheap. (single digit $ price generally) ESPHome is quite easy to work with and (If you’re realistic with your expectations around very low power device) also quite powerful.
Honestly the ESPHome itself is almost too good if you’re really curious as it abstracts the differences between various boards quite well. You’re just editing a yaml file to define your desired functionality.
Even if you’re hesitant to do some soldering, you can get pretty far if you buy board and sensors with pre-soldered pins and some jumper wires.
It’s similar for Slovakia for some names:
Erik Kalinak started as social media manager for SMER (the pro-russian party that got to power recently) and is now climbing the career ladder in SMER at amazing speed quite obviously being pushed as future prominent member of the party. His uncle is Robert Kalinak - one of the founding members of SMER.
Uhrik was elected a member of the European Parliament for the far-right neo-Nazi LSNS party. Later he founded his own party, the far-right and neo-fascist Republic. This was after the head of LSNS was sentenced to four years for propagating nazism - the Republic essentially is a continuation of LSNS. Uhrik is also very anti-Ukraine from the very beginning of russian invasion. You might remember him from 1st March 2022 when he completely ignored Zelensky’s speech in European Parlament browsing his phone.
The other two names are more surprising, but mostly because they are kind of irrelevant. If russia spent any money on these two, they could as well flush it down the toilet.
Miroslav Radacovsky is pretty much nobody. I still don’t quite understand how he got elected to European Parlament. The MEP elections are very much ignored in Slovakia. People aren’t interested in participating, so the results are kind of random sadly. Anyways you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Slovakia that would be able to tell you who Radacovsky is or to tell you single member of the Slovak PATRIOT party - AFAIK they didn’t even attempt to run for a seat in 2023 elections. As you can guess they are a bit far-right, but it’s hard to tell for sure.
Jan Carnogursky is no longer active in politics for over a decade AFAIK. FWIW he expressed some support for Putin recently, which is somewhat ironic, considering he was anti-communist in Czechoslovakia and was also imprisoned by the regime. but again, these days he’s not relevant at all.
We are all unfairly and relentlessly smeared as Putinists by increasingly unpopular globalist ‘elites’; their discredited lackeys in the lying, mainstream press; and Soros-funded NGOs.
It’s uncanny how all of these putinists use the exact same language and arguments. It’s always Soros and NGOs and lying mainstream press.
its only duty will be to spawn other, more restricted processes.
Perhaps I’m misremembering things, but I’m pretty sure the SysVinit didn’t run any “more restricted processes”. It ran a bunch of bash scripts as root. Said bash scripts were often absolutely terrible.
There’s also Rustic. It uses the same repository format as restic. It already has some pretty neat features and since latest release a ton of built-in backends.
Depending how inflation goes €3k limit will soon be in the territory of regular smartphone price or any slightly more expensive household purchase. AFAIK €1k 3 decades ago would be about €3k now.
That is assuming no one tries to push the limits lower, which is almost guaranteed to happen.
Might be a bit late for that. We had annexation of the Sudetenland Crimea/Donbas a decade ago. There was invasion of Poland 2 years ago.
Perhaps they are talking about Molotov bread baskets.
Patriot is billion dollar system, but that’s entire system with the destroyed launcher being the cheaper part. (IIRC there are 6 launchers in single system)
The main issue is that there’s limited amount of the mobile launchers available as Patriot was built primarily as static AA defense.
At this stage Medvedev is using nuclear threats to separate paragraphs in his speeches.
They also mention Foreman. I like Ansible, but anything in combination with Foreman was terrible experience, so perhaps it’s that.
Also you can do terrible Ansible configuration that’s then nightmare to maintain.
Everything has its quirks. It’s quite hard to manage secrets in Nix without dropping them to nix store. Sops-nix is probably closest to ansible-vault, but I’ve yet to see some good solution for short lived secrets. (For example secrets that are only needed to deploy something but not to run it)
I’m curious. How would you identify who’s guest and who’s not in this case?
With multiple networks it’s pretty easy as they are on a different network.
That is what Musk said. Which is arguably pretty biased source. It was also said after the book was published, which makes me think Musk either didn’t even read his own book and no one in his team did see a problem with what was in the book. Or he didn’t even see it as a problem himself which wouldn’t be his first catastrophic failure to read the room.
if you think it should not have been disabled there in the first place then that would mean Russia could use it for their own drone strikes aswell
Drone strikes on all the battleships Ukraine has? Or how exactly would they use it in waters where Ukraine only visits with drones and missiles?
Also I don’t think it shouldn’t have been disabled. I think it does not matter if it was disabled. The only difference it made was that Musk was in position to turn it on rather than to not turn it off. And he chose to help russian terrorists fucking up Ukraine big time as russia got its hands onto the undamaged drones.
If I had agreed to the request, then SpaceX would be explicitly complicit in a major act of war and conflict escalation
Sounds like what russian asset would say. Perhaps not because he’s forced or bribed by russia, perhaps it just makes business sense.
In my view that is a perfectly valid reason
That’s your opinion. I don’t think it’s valid reason to help terrorists. Those ships were later used in attempt to block food export risking famine in certain parts of the world and to lob missiles at Ukrainian cities. They were also used for that before. Perfectly valid reason to call Musk an russian asset IMO.
Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.
This is what I’m referring to. It does not mention US sanctions.
Which is…?
probably correctly
It was neither correct nor probable. No one starts a war (whatever that means, the war has started already) over a fucking glorified accesspoint. It’s just author pushing certain narrative. Not defending his own reputation.
/c/lost_russian_bots ?
Most of the time when russia successfully (according to russian media) intercepts missile or drone, the falling debris hits the intended target. Perhaps it was surprising that working AA actually leads to different outcomes.
