Not this specific link/story, but some of the recent sanctions specifically target things Russia has been doing to get around prior sanctions. Such as sanctioning specific dark fleet vessels, sanctioning new entities that have been created to evade prior sanctions, and putting pressure/restrictions on banks to not just rubber stamp transfers to obvious shell companies.

Yeah, I think that is going to wait till after the election. I believe Biden is worried it would give more ammo to Trump. Hopefully we see it then. These self-imposed rules are really frustrating to watch.

Europe has also been providing aid very heavily of the non-military variety given they have more spare civilian capacity than military. This includes power generation and transmission to Ukraine, parts, etc.

The recent Perun video also talked about how ~50% of power generation is still online in Ukraine, due to it coming from nuclear plants. Still not enough to fully power the country, particularly if transmission is not kept online, but that is a better picture than I previously thought it was.

most creative work

DaVinci Resolve is pretty good. Works on linux and certainly has more features than I need by a long shot. I think Adobe products are the main bottleneck for creative work on linux. Though, the Adobe set of products are so darn expensive, it’s really not a great solution if literally anything else can do the job instead.

Fuck yeah!

Thing was a rolling corpse, but they wanted to be 100% sure!

I just saw you added a link to what those air-to-ground munitions are: JSOW glide bombs. Russia has been using their glide bombs to good effect, I’m glad to see Ukraine is getting more† as well. They are one of the proven effective tools for this war, given the non-permissive air environment both countries find themselves in.

†They have had access to the small diameter glide bomb

Glad to see Ukraine is getting more and more support. These will also be easier to integrate into their systems since they are now operating F-16s, a platform that has already been integrated with this weapon system. So, we don’t need to figure out how to get them to play nice with soviet systems like the MiG-29 as was done for things like HARM anti-radiation missiles. IIRC, they ended up adding a tablet into the cockpit to interact with the HARMs, but even then they could only use a subset of the missile’s standard functions with it.

Ah, I see we are doing Outlaw Star now! Gotta get in range of that cleaver, baby!

This isn’t about saving oneself from US access in exchange for Russian access. It is about already permitting US access, then ADDING Russian access on top. It doesn’t matter if the US feds are worse than Russian feds or vise versa, the worst possible choice is giving both entities access. Which is exactly what a US company does when they install a Russian AV across their network.

this risk is even greater for the person with windows installed on their personal computer

I’m fully onboard with Linux. And we can see from the usage charts others are taking notice of the benefits.

If you are a US based company, you already have to comply with US government legal requests. However, if you are a US company and using a Russian AV, now your AV will have to comply with Russian government requests. Russia is well known for asymmetric attacks, and giving that geopolitical adversary kernel level access to your entire corporate network is … unwise.

I’m surprised at how many companies still use a Russian AV. You are relying on this singular piece of software to keep your computer safe, and you pick the Russian one? Particularly when Windows Defender is right there. All you have to do is…not install the Russian AV.

NYT corroborates this reporting.

I’m not surprised they wanted help defending themselves from the genocidal terrorists in Israel.

Hezbollah/Lebanon should probably stop attacking Israel with rockets if they don’t want Israel to fight back.

you don’t even have to find and turn off the breaker. Just turn it off at the switch before you mess with it.

One word of caution here. If the light fixture is hooked up to a three-way switch, it is possible for the light to be off and BOTH sides of the circuit to be hot. This isn’t a common way to wire three-way switches and it isn’t to code anymore, but there are many homes out there with legacy switches wired as such. See: Carter 3-way switch.

Edit: Now with diagram!

Agreed. The fixtures with non-replaceable lights are a giant headache waiting to happen down the road. Always go with the replaceable bulb fixtures.

Edit: Not to mention the next person may not like the specific LED in that fixture and may want a brighter or dimmer one. With a replaceable bulb this is a 30s swap; with a non-replaceable bulb it is an entire project that the person may even need to hire a guy to do for them (read: expensive).

The tippy-tapps are coming for you!

Huh, hadn’t thought about that capability, but it does make a ton of sense if the first target was successfully serviced (or no longer needs servicing). No need to waste an interceptor by launching another for target #2.

There is! !credibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Though it hasn’t been active in awhile.

Edit: Also the other !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works community is more lively than this one.
