I swear to fucking gods, if I survive WW3, I *will* be doing my part in manufacturing nuclear ICBMs in Ukraine. And no peacenik or "escalation manager" would be able to convince me otherwise.
Danish Intelligence Service (FE) report on 11 February 2025 concluded...Russia already sees itself in conflict with the West and is preparing for a war against NATO. Should there be a pause of fighting in Ukraine, FE concludes that Russia could, within 6 months, fight a war with a bordering country.
Russias Baltic Fleet are in active preparations for confrontation not seen since Cold War.

Chilling assessment by @jjdroxford.bsky.social of increased and changed communication activity
indicating a change closer to war footing.

bash question: how to get it to append to history file immediately, w/o automatically making those commands propagated to all running shell instances?

`PS0='$(history -a)'` kinda does it, but it doesn't move "already appended" pointer, so every time it writes all commands from the current session.

People who use Forgejo: is there some special dance required for Actions to push docker images to the built-in container registry?

I'm authenticating with `${FORGEJO_TOKEN}`, but still get `unauthorized: reqPackageAccess`

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

I don't want an "AI browser", I want a browser that renders HTTP-delivered content in a convenient and useful UI and nothing more.
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

two tech men having an incredibly annoying meeting next to me in the café and one of them just said "the thing I love about SEO is.....the culture", gobsmacking, beautiful piece of dialogue, would have struggled with it in a sitcom yet he just said it, in real life

I have literally laughed out loud on this part.

We've had "U.S. security guarantee" with a much more trustworthy govt than the Trump's one, and even that, when the push came to shove, turned out to be not worth the paper it was written on.

With Trump it's worth even less and sounds like an insult.

I was today years old when I realized that apartments aren't built for people to live in them. They are built to be sold or rented out.

That actually explains a lot of annoyances I've had in the past and have right now.
