@elston_ Putin has been remarkably restrained - with a hard red line of NO NATO EXPANSION. The insanely stupid "sanctions" and the proxy war against Russia has resulted in a burgeoning Russian "Military Industrial Complex" like the one in the US after WW 2. When Putin in gone, that MIC will want to keep the money flowing - just like the one in the US. So NATO (with US help) has essentially created a future Russia that WILL be "hungry for conflict and chaos", fomenting wars world wide and sending weapons to keep that money flowing . . .

@elston_ They're not dumb (except in the Psalm 14 sense). They just answer to the WEF instead of their citizens.

@wy7usa What does the sign over the strawberry say?

@T2R @beyondmachines1 @briankrebs Our rack mount minicomputer was overheating. On opening it up, a family of mice had built a nest above the card cage in the air chamber. The fan blew down on the cards from the air chamber, and the mice used it for a loo. Worked beautifully - for them. The cards were coated with brown goo - no wonder they were overheating.

@freemo Most people were not aware there were real vaccines available for Covid-19. In fact, there weren't in the US. (The DNA based shots were almost as bad.)

@leo Turns out Trump was right. In addition to the transgenic mice used for studies, there really is money being spent to do transgender experiments on mice. Island of Dr Moreau, here we come!

@freemo A fair point - but when was the last time Congress actually set a budget? (Was it under Clinton?) It's been nothing but CRs for many decades.

@freemo There is also the issue of early vaccination. Vaccines are much more harmful for newborns and very young children. Breastfeeding supplies all the antibodies the mother has - so if Mom has been vaccinated against polio, the newborn is protected while they are mostly breastfeeding.

When baby is getting weaned, then you look at what vaccinations might be a good idea - and prioritize, so you don't do them all at once on a very young child.

@freemo My daughter and son-in-law got the sino-vac (non mRNA). They wouldn't have gotten anything, since Covid is not dangerous for healthy young people - but they were required to get something because they were pilots. So the Sino-vac essentially gave them Covid.

@freemo The problem is that the mRNA shots were called "vaccines", and that is what "anti-vaxxers" are protesting against. It was never against real vaccines. At the RFK level, there is protest against *untested* vaccines - essentially all real vaccines developed since 1986, when Congress absolved Pharma of liability for vaccine injuries. Before 1986, each vaccine went through about 5 years of testing. Now, new vaccines (e.g. "flu" vaccine) goes through at most 5 days of testing.

In the case of flu, it is similar enough to previous vaccines that new vaccine injuries are unlikely (and there has been no increase). But more novel new vaccines, like the RSV is more worrisome. Hopefully, while there was only days of testing before release, there are non-fraudulent records kept of injuries as it it used (since there is no liability).

@leo Yeah, Trump is confused. But transgenic is even more dangerous and problematic than just "Island of Dr Moreau" surgeries on animals.

@elston_ @SirSeanofSlovakia Since 1990s, it has been the open borders "globalist" (to be distinguished from global free-trade advocates) types calling for everyone to hate the Other (whether Russia or MAGA or African nations rejecting colonialism).

@fuknukl The best is to make your own cloud. You need 2 or more sites. A small business often has 2 locations - some services can be located at a friendly competitor (e.g. DNS secondary). An individual might have techie friends or family living in a different area.

DNS (when you run it yourself) has mirroring built in, with primary and secondary authoritative servers.

SMTP has multiple MX which can queue mail while the primary site is down.

PostgreSQL has replication.

DRBD can mirror all writes to a volume to another computer. While this can be a lot of bandwidth for a WAN, I've used it with great success. The corporate sponsor has a paid product that queues a bunch of writes and tracks order (to prevent out of order writes at the dest) - this helps manage performance.
