Ukrainian forces would have to cede further territory to Russia if US military aid does not arrive soon, President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned, in his latest appeal to Congress to pass a multibillion-dollar package....
Yes they do actually. They actually want more bombs and money to go to israel. If they gain power, you can bet they would dump dozens of billions as fast as possible into Israel.
They just want 0 to go to Ukraine so they block it for daddy Putin.
One could argue that it is preferable to serial killers.
Serial killers meticulously plan and often torture their victims extensively and many of their victims families never get closure because nothing gets tied back to the killer.
Mass gunman attacks, for example, kill orders of magnitude faster with much less pain for many of their victims, the perpetrator isn’t active for a long period of time, and the families get closure.
Of two severely fucked up scenarios that happen, it seems that one is worse.
Use antennapod. They literally highly discourage donations now because they have enough donations to cover their operating coats and then like 50% extra on top.
Because updating a podcast app is literally not a full time job if it is so stable as these two apps. They both release small feature updates and bug fixes for a while. Antennapod even did a full UI update to the new material standard.
Pocketcasts devs seem to want maximum profit from it. They probably have an order of magnitude more income already than antennapod due to how many more people use it and how they push subscriptions. I just don’t understand why they need that much money.

I moved to a new house last year. (Belgium, doesn’t follow the weather of the zoning system well) We are in the process of stripping it down to the bones, just got a new roof, have to dig out the floor down 35 cm to pour a cement slab, etc…
Suffice to say I don’t have the time for a garden this year even though we have a lovely 1500m^2 plot with around 60 trees that haven’t been upkept for years.
I would love to know some super easy low upkeep plants to help the soil in our future garden bed areas (one used to be a big compose pile, so the soil there seems pretty good already).
I was thinking some potatoes in the method of loosening the soil, throwing a ton of seed potatoes and maybe onions over it, and covering it with a bunch of dead grass cuttings that we have.
Then maybe some bush beans too. If it is a wet year like the winter it has been, they should grow very well.
Yeah they offered wireless earbuds for all of a year and a half before shutting it down an pulling the product, just to release wireless headphones which haven’t been pulled from the shelves quite yet.
Maybe this is their next speaker in a line of barely-supported short lived audio products.
I am a little salty over their decision to remove a headphone jack from the fp5 in order to push their shitty audio projects that they drop in a few years anyway…

Of which the chances are slim to none for 99% of people simply because they aren’t interesting enough to be a target beyond phishing, scans, and broad attacks.
Hello ! I have a custom build NAS currently using 4x6TB hard drives in RAID10. I am looking for a capacity upgrade. My main focus are low power consumption and low noise (the NAS is in my living room / home office)....
If you go for WD red plus 12TB drives, they are helium filled and less noisy even than the 8TB air versions.
I have one and it is silent when not tracking, but all hard drives have some seeking noise. Mostly because it is irregular so human ears pick it up more than white fan or spinning noise.
Best idea for absolute noise reduction in the same room is getting a good closed case, reinforcing with some foam panels with a direct air path that you can direct through a cupboard cutout for example.
What you are looking for is high capacity SSDs in this situation, but that is pricey.

To be fair, of you just wait until the ZFS package is released with the corresponding kernel, everything works great. Just no unattended upgrades to the kernel on the back ports channel and you are golden!
Depends, for example Debian unattended-upgrade caused system restarts after many updates that was extremely inconvenient for me because I have a more manual bringup process. I had restarts turned off in its settings and it still restarted.
I uninstalled it and have not one single unwanted restart since then, so manual upgrades it is.
Researchers have found a malicious backdoor in a compression tool that made its way into widely used Linux distributions, including those from Red Hat and Debian.

It is. HMD Global Nokia has been pretty trash quality since the beginning. Bad cameras even for their price class, bad longevity, tons and tons of software bugs that take half a year to fix.
I am very confused what you mean that a phone doesn’t count as a 2nd factor.
Your password is factor one.
An OTP is factor 2, whether it is on a phone or a yubikey makes literally 0 difference practically. It is a “something you have”.
If you need biometric unlock to get into your 2fa app or on the yubikey itself, that is a 3rd factor of “something you are.”
If you are very worried about someone compromising your phone app and already knowing your password, (which is not how 99% of intrusions are done) then put a pin or fingerprint on your 2FA app and it is back to being a secure 2nd factor.
The probability of someone breaking into your phone, hacking your bitwarden password, and having a fingerprint exploit that allows them to break into your 2FA app is like 1 in 1 billion unless you are like top 1000 most important people in the world. But as a thought exercise, a dongle indeed has the potential to be more secure because it is an additional “something you have” to your phone.
But this is only the case if you store your passwords in a plaintext file on your phone. Something that I hope nobody would be dumb enough to do, but I guess many people would.
If you have an encrypted password manager like Bitwarden or so where you have a single long password to open and get at your other long secure passwords, then it is essentially a different factor than your phone, right? Since having the phone unlocked would do nothing to help the attacker get to your password vault.
Duolingo is quite terrible at teaching a language. It gives absolutely no context of grammar or conjugation besides what it beats into you through repetition. Don’t get me started on their “pronunciation recognition”.
It is pretty much only valuable as flashcardish games for vocabulary building.
Babel is expensive, but much better.
Actually textbooks are even better if you are dedicated to learn, but of course the best is a combination of that and a language partner and native person to talk with.
Oh wow! If I leave my 5ii on overnight at 50%, it will be at 20% by morning when I was asleep. But the 10 has a much less power hungry processor, so that definitely plays a role.
