It's indeed the fact that Ukrainians suffered from man-made famine, but it's incorrect statement that they were targeted as ethnicity or that they were only victims.

Red kommisars didn't care too much about ethnicity, their conducted class war and their battlefield of food expropriations by food squads was whole south of USSR with fertile lands where peasants produced main volume of crops in country: that's Ukraine, Russia south of Moscow (e.g. Kuban), north-west of Kazahstan and some regions of Caucasus - so called Black Earth region.

It should be called genocide too, but communists pushed UN to exclude class as criteria from official genocide definition (because oppressing "bad" classes was core soviet doctrine during it's whole existence). So "officially" it was not genocide because it was not ethnically motivated or targeted, but practically it was.

It's important to remember what real socialism/communism is about (world revolution and class war), and not be deceived by talks about "wrong communists" who targeted ethnicities instead of "right communists" who don't do that.

Most likely

For wireguard they usually intercept handshake packets. There's no significant differences from tcp-based VPN protocols in this regard.

Sphere and ether are greek words.

You can flash android phone with another OS that won't spy on you. And you cannot do this with iPhone.

It's unlikely enough for such cases to get in the news. But these type of news are quite regular, so mushroom poisonings are not rare that much to be suspicious.

In this case what's outstanding is the person, not circumstances.

It’s developed in Estonia!

It's actually developed by mostly Russian and Belorussian developers who live in Switzerland, New Zealand, Russia, and Belarus. Also, there are some significant contributions from residents of other countries, but none of them are from Estonia. Looks like the only Estonian thing is legal entity for doing business.

But nevertheless, I agree that Estonia is remarkable for its IT culture. I used to work with several Estonian colleagues, and they are great engineers whom I highly respect as professionals.

First, it is the first Russian lunar mission. All before were all Soviet missions. Second, it's not 25th even if we count Soviet missions. Because USSR used to assign "Kosmos-<number>" name of all lunar missions that failed to leave Low Earth orbit or even reach it.

It’s much easier to just avoid anything even distantly related to politics. And that’s what actually ingrained in culture of most Russians.

then the risk is pretty low

And then Amazon buys Hashicorp.

After major political changes, such as the February Revolution or the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were brief periods of freedom. But, yeah, most of the time Russian authorities are quite oppressing and power-grabbing (even if not all the instances were fascist in a strict sense). Almost all major elections since 1996 have been rigged, for example. But many people in the West keep saying that every Russian is accountable for atrocities committed by the Russian government because they "elected" that government.

Originally it's "free as in speech" not "free as in freedom" But BSL is definitely not free as in speech. So if it's neither free as beer, so what part of it is "free"?

GPL permits this: "Organizations providing competitive offerings to HashiCorp will no longer be permitted to use the community edition products free of charge"

AGPL doesn't infect you code unless you don't link with AGPL-licensed one. Control planes rarely do this. That's why Amazon was absolutely OK with MongoDB being under AGPL.

SSPL is much worse than AGPL. At worst AGPL demands you to license your own code under same terms. While SSPL demands you to license third-party code from backup solutions to operating system and firmware. Good luck publishing source code of Linux kernel or even Windows under SSPL.

If Amazon don't have a need to change anything in software, they'll just provide it as service without any problems. AGPL permits this.

If they have to change something, then they would likely want want to return hose changes in upstream to lower maintenance burden. Or just publish changes on github of upstream doesn't want to accept them. AGPL is fine with this too.

If Amazon would like create similar offering but with some secret sauce that they don't want to share, then they'll develop in-house solution from scratch and sell it as a service in AWS.

For this case there's already an old good word "proprietary" that covers everything that's not FOSS.

I think Google would rather preinstall SponsorBlock in Chrome by default if it could, because this move would encourage use of YouTube Ad tools instead of in-video ads (from which Google gets nothing).

What's wrong in 908B64B197's statement is not that it's a good survive strategy. It's wrong that russian commoners take sides. Indifference leads to caring only for yourself and those who are close to you. And whoever is in power - doesn't matter.

There's a ukranian proverb that is also part of russian culture in english it's meaning sounds like "lords fight - serfs struggle" (паны дерутся - у холопов чубы трещат). So for ordinary person best strategy is not to get yourself between Scylla and Charybdis and be loyal to any power unless you get direct profits from loyalty.

I didn't say that they love Russia. Heck, even many russians hate Russia the way it is now. What I am saying is that even reintegration of population of occupied territories is not an easy task. That's why in ukranian public space there's no easy plan of doing this because they know would be a hard work (mass deporations wouldn't be accepted by EU and US for reason I stated and "we just turn off russian propaganda" is necessary but not sufficient by itself).

And you are talking about integration of 13+ mil population of your direct enemy that is even harder work. What for?

All of these regions except Belgorod cannot fully supply own budgets and they recieve dotations from federal budget (even Belgorod barely does this and tearing established economic connections with other russian regions would severe it's ecomonic abilities). So it's not an economic reason like "we would tax them to get money".

Next what about integration in ukranian society. Ukraine nation was indeed forged in this war, but russians never were part of it (ukranian society). So this means that Ukraine would have to federalise (which it clearly avoided) or it will try to ukrainise russian population (that would create additional tensions). So for the point of internal politics this would only bring additional problems too.

Now maybe this will help in internations politics somehow? Ukraine is clearly directing itself towards eurointegration. One of the reasons why EU was uncertain about Ukraine joining it was size of the country. Now after ukranian martyrship that's unlikely to be an issue but it definitely would be if Ukraine somehow gets 50% bigger. At least it won't help with direction towards EU.

I don't know ukranian politics wery well and I don't see any viable reasons for Ukraine to join these russian regions.

But maybe you being more familiar with what happens inside Ukraine can enlighten me because I may be missing something or see some aspects in wrong light.

If you are talking about what to do with unloyal locals in Donetsk and Luhansk, I took it from ukranian propaganda, not russian.

Russian government and it's mass-media has no trust in any questions (especially in Ukraine-related), no sane person trusts them, even ultra-Z-pro-war-vatniks (if we can call them sane).

Ukraine struggles with ideas what to do with unloyal population on ukranian occupied territories. Main ideas are "we just mass deport locals to Russia" (FTR that's a genocide and not because of destination) and "we just forbid russian propaganda there and everyone would magically start love us and accept ukrainization". And you are talking about russian territories that combined have size of half of Ukraine and which population is extremely unloyal to ukranian government.

That's poor translation. He is talking about justice as a virtue (справедливость), not as an institution (правосудие).

I thought that hacked machines usually used not as proxies for traffic from origin attack hosts but rather than large fleet of cheap throwaway attacking traffic origins themselves. There's a used to be fashionable definition "fog computing" for using computer resources like that. Except it criminals used this approach before definition emerged.

And as an attacker you couldn't care less about latency when you schedule a job of scanning bunch of ip addresses for vulnerabilities to one of thousands throwaway hacked home pcs in your fleet.

Also the fact that their bank cards don't work in Russia doesn't help.

Why should they crash? It's not like operation of motors and avionics depends on navigation or control link.

AGI is still a concept from science fiction. If we talk about modern LLMs (that are indeed impressing) increasing food production is not what they are about. But this doesn't mean that technology doesn't help there. Green revolution for example literally made more food materialize.

This saw an explosion of the space of viable economic activity and with it new classes of jobs and a widespread growth in prosperity.

I don't see any reason why thing must be different this time. Human demands are still infinite, while productivity is still limited (and btw meeting limited productivity with infinite demans is what economic is about). So no increase in productivity will make humans stop wanting more and close opportunities for new markets.

Modern automation has seen productivity and wages begin to decouple.

Could you provide any sources on this topic? This is a new information for me here.

This won’t be the first time. First world already had same situation during industrialisation, when economic no longer required 90% of population growing food. And this transformation still regularly happens in one or another third world country. People worry about such changes too much. When this will happen again it wouldn’t be a walk in a park for many people, but neigher this would be a disaster.

And BTW when people spend less resources to get more goods and services - that’s the definition of prospering society. Of course having some people changing jobs because less manpower is needed to do same amount of work is an inevitable consequence of a progress.

you can force a higher (or lower) TTL setting before the response expires

I really have no idea why someone would want this unless they seek for unexpected issues with DNS on their network.
