@lakoma I don't need any source - I've been following the war since 2013. The Russians have destroyed it. Do some homework and by that I mean real news, not propaganda you'll get from all the western MSM. The US military has even said that they can't provide new air defence other than a few complexes. The US and NATO don't have good air defense, at lesat not as good as Russia's. None of the western media is reliable when it comes to war, NATO and the ColdWar 2.

How he was caught:

Gary Warner, director of research in computer forensics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, noted in his blog from 2014 that Tank told co-conspirators in a JabberZeus chat on July 22, 2009 that his daughter, Miloslava, had been born and gave her birth weight.

"A search of Ukrainian birth records only showed one girl named Miloslava with that birth weight born on that day,” Warner wrote. This was enough to positively identify Tank as Penchukov, Warner said.

@lakoma The Ukrainians don't have any air defence - Not anymore.

@obi Yet many detractors (many progressives) call him a conservative! LOL Not!!

@obi Ah there's quite a few actually. I post them. The problem is, they're not employed by the MSM. So independent blogs are where one finds the true news, these days. I don't take most MSM foreign reporting seriously at all. Not since news centres became profit centres!

@hasmis Ah I miss the good days of Usenet! Used to get most of my Mac software from there back in the early 90s.

The Ukrainian had fled to Switzerland.

Despicable. People you don't like are cancelled at any opportunity. Why in the hell was she invited to it anyway? What has she to do with the www?!

These warmongers have no shame. They lied about Iraq, just as they're lying about now and previously. If one looks in our print media archives, it was only a few years back that some high profile media was writing about the Fascist and neo-Nazi propagation in western Ukraine. Now the same are saying there aren't any Nazi's despite copious evidence to the contrary.

Qoto != Goto
Yet, when first I glanced at Qoto, I saw Goto, that infamous statement responsible for mountains of spaghetti code. I then saw what it really stood for and immediately signed up.

Qoto, to me, means to learn or teach ourselves. How else really? Watching or hearing do not quite measure up to reading, especially physical books that you hold. In bed, paperbacks are preferred; hardcovers can be dangerous if you’re drowsy.😩

The best way I found to see if I’ve learned something from reading is to write down a synopsis. Not so easy. How about writing something original? I have great admiration for all writers of: , stories, , cook books, text books, technical specifications, how-to books, etc. etc. I’d go out on a limb and say, the art of writing is significantly more difficult than either creating a painting or composing a piece of music. Please note that I said art, not science.

In this internet age, much of our reading is in snippets. TL;DR
So, here’s a poll for the longest time you’ve spent reading in one sitting recently. (excepting this toot)

OK, one more step done. Everyone on Masto.host is now running v4.0.

About half running v4.0.2 and half v4.0.1.

For the ones on v4.0.2 the upgrade is done (unless v4.0.3 is released 😂 ).

The others on v4.0.1 I will upgrade them in the next hours to v4.0.2. A small restart is required that will cause about 15 seconds of downtime.

If you run into any issues, please let me know. Thanks.
