@loke @micah After checking dedicated server hosting, it's getting really cheap with unmetered bandwidth, perhaps a better alternative than AWS in this case.

@malwaretech The DNC leak was not Russian intelligence, that was debunked, it was an internal leak. Please don't spread disinformation.

Q: can human civilization survive thermonuclear war?

A: It is highly unlikely that human civilization would be able to survive a thermonuclear war. The destructive power of these weapons is vast, and a global thermonuclear war would have devastating effects on the planet. The intense heat and radiation generated by thermonuclear explosions would likely cause widespread damage to the environment and infrastructure, leading to the collapse of human civilization as we know it. Additionally, the radioactive fallout from a thermonuclear war would make large areas of the planet uninhabitable for many years, potentially permanently.
