In the balance between geopolitical conflicts and Linux, the latter is the petty stuff.

Teenagers are children, my dude.

Those goalposts heavy?

France regularly tries and convicts corrupt officials. If this is new to you, it just means you’re not paying attention.

Article 5?

Believe it or not? More shooting.

You don’t want to hear from the best?

That’s fun and all, but the office of the President is very weak in Iran. What does the Supreme Leader say?

Space is cold and not dense. Heat needs to move from a high energy medium to a low energy medium to be dissipated. Since there isn’t any matter for the thermal energy to be transferred to, cooling in space is actually quite difficult.

That’s not how any of this works. There isn’t adverse possession in geopolitics. If the world says it’s not yours it starts being called “contested” — like Kashmir or Transnistria. That would be a huge step backwards for China on the issue. Honestly, they’ve already lost this one for the foreseeable future — they don’t have a political path forward and they absolutely lack the ability to resolve the matter by force.

I guess it’s possible you could have a more traditional interpretation. China has failed to forcibly defend territory it asserts authority over; therefore, it has allowed such passage or it has tacitly abandoned such claims.

And yet, here we are — with US law enforcement in possession of the plane.

Neat.

The state has a monopoly on violence and infinite resources. Amazon is an upjumped bookstore.

It’s fun to learn things, isn’t it?

Shit’s hilarious

Legally purchased, for one.

They absolutely do not. It is genuinely shocking how many people in this thread fail utterly at comprehending the scale of the power wielded by the government.

Former attorney who now consults for corporate compliance departments/programs. I have zero formal training or professional practical experience, but tech has always been my strongest hobby. I decided to self host as much as possible almost 20 years ago starting with media libraries and email; it stemmed from a deep distrust of the tech industry.

I have been extremely happy with Unraid. It is by far the most beginner-friendly option and there isn’t an easier solution when it comes to expanding capacity. I run my nzb client and all of my *arr containers on it. My media server is on a used SFF PC I grabbed for cheap — so QuickSync can run on the bare metal. It’s been a great stack for years.

Yeah, Japan shot down our nation’s most famous aviatrix for doing this exact same thing.
