How in the actual hell do you stage a mk82 slamming into the ground?

What did RT roll up to the Russian AirForce and ask them to fly all the way to Lebanon to drop the equivalent payload behind a staged reporter and hope he survives?

I think Trump will seriously threaten with nukes but he won’t actually use them because Russia will MAD back Iran.

Otherwise they would genuinely consider using tactical nukes for instant victory.

Frontier is the Spirit of budget airlines lol

The fact that CachyOS more or less successfully replaced Manjaro’s purpose I guess is evidence of Manjaro’s issues.

I forgot but I think Bazzite had similar complaints (due to its use of silverblue) in which case it was just more straightforward to use Fedora or OpenSUSE if you don’t want to work with the read only root system.

Downstream distros need to bring additional value to the table to be worth using, otherwise there’s really no need if you can make a package group that accomplishes the same thing in one go.

The real kicker is that this is from people who bet against Iran striking Israel.

Wouldn’t even bet my life Israel’s iron dome is invincible, especially considering Iran already successfully broke through it last year.

Or you know, Gaza a bunch of times with pipe rockets.

(I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.

Wireguard on 443 or OpenVPN + Stunnel on 443

Wireguard is easier to setup because there’s no OpenVPN app that packages stunnel (afaik), so you have to run 2 apps on your phone to make it work.

A server like caddy can also accept HTTPS traffic for some regular websites next to the VPN server.

Wireguard uses UDP, so just run whatever you want on 443 TCP with caddy (unless you want QUIC for some reason?)

Anything beyond that and you’d be looking at using a proper obfuscation solution like Shadowsocks or obfs4, in which case you should look into Amnezia or Tor bridges.

Makes sense but since ISPs are essentially a monopoly in fiber, they get to charge whatever they want, despite the fact that I know AT&T’s break even cost for 5G fiber is $10 a month per line.

The modern web is an insult to the idea of efficiency at practically every level.

You cannot convince me that isolation and sandboxing requires a fat 4Gb slice of RAM for a measly 4 tabs.

I’m getting tired of this community man

Have any of you authored a successfully merged PR for a popular open source project?

This has to be a requisite before people start complaining about AI dev usage, otherwise you shouldn’t even on this site with the Windows (vibe coded lol), Mac, Linux, or even FreeBSD kernels since they all have AI used somewhere in the development process.

Just because someone is using AI, doesn’t mean something is vibe coded. There was also still crappy vibe coded software long before there was ever AI.

I thought the previous thread on Vim was bad. What are you guys going to do now? Fork Lutris and make a downstream that no one maintains or uses?

I think ever since Valve fought through their first lawsuit with Sierra and lucked out with them finding evidence showing destruction of evidence, they probably developed zero appetite to fold for frivolous lawsuits lol.

Better make an AI free fork of linux too then.

Can’t have all those fancy 7.0 changes in my kernel because some dev used AI to check his code formatting before submitting a PR. I’ll stick with my outdated fork thank you very much. Upstream fix for blatant CVE but the fix includes an AI comment? Nooooo thank you.

I mean its not like there’s a reject button for pull requests or anything. Anyone could just submit AI slop and we’d never know. Not even from the blatantly failing CI tests.

I’m late to this reply, but Chinese pilots and aircraft have actually become quite competent this decade. Their behavior with international intercepts doesn’t mean anything, especially when its usually done by some ye olde J-11s. And amazingly they kickstarted the LRAAM arms race again with their highly successful PL-15.

The F-35 does get to face off against China’s J-20 and J-35, but to answer your question, the thing was built as an export product to make a ton of money for Lockheed.

While there is obvious technological advancement from the F-22, it has a top speed akin to a dated block I JF-17, reliability as good as a land rover, and parts/munitions expensive as golden caviar.

It’s just an export all in one stealth solution because there is no alternative that was developed.

Which is why I want to see it pitted against any nation that has properly delved into counter stealth operations. I feel like if you can successfully light it up, it would struggle in a BVR fight, unlike the F-22 which has plenty of power to mess around.

There’s no direct Chinese equivalent because both the J-20 and J-35 are more akin to the F-22 (although J-35 is a bit closer), but I would not be surprised to find the F-35 not being able to keep up with such adversaries.

And I’m fairly certain USAF is completely aware of this in their redteam exercises, which is why they continue to field the F-22 as their primary stealth air superiority fighter, if not outright their primary air superiority fighter.

Even more annoyingly for the USAF, I don’t think the upcoming F-47 is going to come before China decides to jump on Taiwan, so they’ll more than likely be fighting with whatever they have today.

They don’t mention it, but I highly suspect its actually not significant.

I used to think fast charging did the same thing, but it turns out that even the heaviest wattage implementations have negligible effects on cycles and health.

As long as your driver is smart enough to control or manipulate the voltage at certain capacities (<15% and >85%), the higher power won’t affect the cell quality.

I think they’re just pooling stock because the RAM prices are already screwed.

AYN already announced that their supplier is bumping prices, so their console prices are definitely gonna increase by the next batch.

The bubble will eventually pop, it just won’t be rapid or soon enough to halt product sales and wait it out.

Which sucks because a year ago, the GabeCube would have sold at a seriously competitive price to the point where it would have legitimately challenged Xbox as the superior product, despite much lower unit count.

I am literally just waiting for China to catch up and knock over all 3 of these TSMC suckers.

I don’t care if they throw a 2000% tarrif on it, I will figure out a way to bypass it so I can enjoy pre inflation PC prices again when high end GPUs were going for $300, SSDs became so cheap that the HDD market actually started falling behind, and you could chuck RAM sticks around like spare change.

The American Auto Industry has been struggling to keep pace since the 80s lmao

They only exist because they threw their money at congress to make horsecrap legislation that bans competition.

They even assassinated sedans with EPA laws that stimulates everyone to make SUVs lol.

Ted Ts’o being awoken by the “next gen fs” devs screaming outside his house

I searched up how to stop a stratis pool (Redhat knockoff ZFS) and Google gleefully gave me instructions to destroy the stratis pool, and then claimed there was no way to take down a stratis pool without destroying the data.

I think clicked on the top link which was a RedHat article that told you right from the beginning that it’s stratis pool stop --name

Only reason I had to even search was because I didn’t have the stratis CLI installed, so no manpage

Next year’s CES is gonna be every AI product from this year’s CES but with no progress on release date because they can’t even buy the consumer grade hardware to produce it since it all went into data centers lol.
