Parade du Grotesque

Yeah, what a fantastic idea: let’s give the Orban’s and the Meloni’s of Europe (stable geniuses one and all) things that go boom and make a nice mushroom cloud.

Fantastic.

We already have two nuclear powers in Europe.

As seen on the cover of a dead can dance record, but with a different angle.

It already exists. See: Eutelsat https://www.eutelsat.com/satellite-services/tv-internet-home/satellite-internet-home-business-konnect

Can it be jammed? Sure. Not very easy though, especially if you are out of the big cities.

In the immortal words of Robin Williams: "Tits are little birds, boys and girls, and so are cocks!’

First of all, what makes you think he was killed by a government? It’s all speculation at this point.

The only thing that is certain is that his death is very convenient, to a lot of very rich, very well connected people who may or may not have organized to allow him to be “suicided” in jail. Most of these people probably did not want him to reveal that they also were pedophiles, and that they had sex with very young children that Epstein procured for them.

But beyond that, there is the question of justice, and the fact that victims did not get it, and other guilty parties were not judged.

In other words, money and power can protect you from the law. This is what riles people off. Epstein is dead, but justice has not been served.

It’s either Slackware (Linux, no systemd), OpenBSD or NetBSD.

True story: I install a Red Hat server with a disk shelf with about 12 SAS disk in it. Red Hat has systemd. Everything works fine for a month.

One (1) disk out of the 12 fails. No biggie. Shutdown the server cleanly. Replace disk. Flip power back on. Rebuild disk config. Simple, right?

Wrong. You see, systemd is unhappy. It detects a new disk. It has lost a previous disk. And so, it refuses to boot. Period.

Yes, there are ways out of this. But that was the day I decided systemd was the down of the devil.

I would say, like many others, Remmina.

Putty also has a Linux version, so you can use that as well. Its session management is a bit clunky, but it works and it offers some fairly good functionalities.

But ssh is first and foremost a command line tool. As others have said, invest some time to learn its commands and configuration files.

Not really at much risk… YET.

Give it another 6 months or so.

You have to define ‘we’ and you also have to define ‘WW3’.

Possible scenarios:

• USA decides to get actively involved in Ukraine’s conflict. Yes, that could spell WW3. Low probability, though, since Trump does not care about Ukraine.

• Russia decides to attack Western Europe. Probably only a regional conflict, since Trump would probably pull out of NATO. This is the scenario a lot of European nations are gaming today.

• China attacks Taiwan and/or North Korea attacks South Korea. Probably a regional conflict, but with a high probability of escalation. Trump would drop both South Korea and Taiwan at the drop of a hat.

• Iran attacks Israel, probably through proxy. Regional conflict. This is already going on, so low risk of escalation.

That submarine imploding near the Titanic will never be not funny. Especially since the guy who designed it believed in the “move fast and break things” nonsense.

Every person on board paid a pretty penny to be on that sub, so no pity from me either (except perhaps for the teenager who was reportedly terrified to go on, but did it to please his rich prick father).

Once you understand Slackware, you realize it is really simple and stable. It comes with an excellent selection of software in the base install, and does not contain any “surprises”. I have had uptime in the 200-300+ days range on my home server, updates and security patches are quick and painless, etc.

In other words, it is a Linux optimized for usability and Unix compatibility, not necessarily user friendliness. It assumes you know what you are doing and gets out of your way.

Still using Slackware to this day.

So… Yeah.

Pornitor! For all your… … … … “Viewing” needs.

Yeah, I should read what I write before posting… 😉

I have done quite a few martial arts. Anyone who tells you you can learn X and fight against someone who is armed (knife or gun) is simply spouting B.S.

If someone pulls out a gun on you, give that person what he wants and pray you are not going to end up shot anyway.

If someone pulls out a knife on you, again, don’t try to be a hero: give that person what he wants. Don’t play hero, especially if the guy holding the knife seems to know what he is doing.

Martial arts are just a way to train your body and your mind, both trainings are valuable in and out of themselves. They will keep you calm in a tense situation, they may even save your life since no one wants to mess with a dude that keeps his cool. Ultimately, a street fight can be avoided just by looking calm and composed.

Go to packages.slackware.com or slackbuilds.org and you will see the base system has reasonably up to date packages.

I have no idea what you are talking about. NetBSD is portable. Its performance is very good (it has to be, since it works on stuff like 68040 Amiga and Atari), but probably a bit under FreeBSD, since FreeBSD is mainly focused on Intel and AMD.

Slackware.

It. Just. Works.
