They also have pretty sophisticated dampeners and counterweights so that their running doesn’t cause vibrations or other issues with the spacecraft. So keep that in mind when planning for space quilliotine too or you’ll risk change of course when using it.

Nice to see that it can actually help when applied intelligently

For the first couple of drones which detonate on impact. And not even those if you happen to encounter an FPV drone with a skilled operator who can just fly around that umbrella. However, traditionally tanks should be backed up by infantry and they can carry shotguns or whatever is the current best tool against drones, and in that case that Dragon Shield might actually be useful. But for a lone tank on recon mission or something similar it doesn’t do much.

Our team has office days once or twice per month and fuck all gets done on those days. Time is spent on social chitchat, longer coffee breaks and lunch with more small talk, discussing random ideas and almost anything else than actual work. And those are really nice to have, when we’re mostly scattered across few cities and limited to text chat or calls they tend to be strictly about the task at hand. The office days give a sort of a break on normal schedule and while very little gets actually done the discussions often include planning future stuff, going trough previous changes, current situation and workload more broadly and so on. After those days, even if nothing got done, we’re all a bit more on board on almost everything and it’s nice to actually meet the people we interact with every day.

But for actual work, for the stuff we do, the office doesn’t offer anything we couldn’t do remotely. I have more comfortable setup at home than at my cubicle at office, I can listen to whatever I want at how loud I want without disturbing others, no hassle with commute (even if mine is pretty much as short as it can be) and so on.

Unfortunately that’s not valid.

$ tar -h
tar: You must specify one of the '-Acdtrux', '--delete' or '--test-label' options
Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information.

From man-page:

-h, --dereference follow symlinks; archive and dump the files they point to

Meaning that if you could travel at the speed of light (which is impossible), it would still take you 100,000 years to cross the galaxy from edge to edge.

It’s just highly improbable to cross the galaxy in less than 100 000 years. You just need a device which generates infinite improbability and that’ll pass you trough every single point in the universe simultaneously and you can just stop where needed. Side effects may apply.

You can run your own and even select from multiple different servers you can use, or if you really want to you can write your own, the specs are out in the open. Check XMPP software selection for a start.

The brand is originally founded by an russian (1920ish) who fled to Poland after revolution and the brand is currently UK owned. So the current bottles you get doesn’t have anything else from Russia than the 100 year old brand name.

But Ukraine makes some damn good vodka too.

Docker spesifically creates rules for itself which are by default open to everyone. UFW (and underlying eftables/iptables) just does as it’s told by the system root (via docker). I can’t really blame the system when it does what it’s told to do and it’s been administrators job to manage that in a reasonable way since forever.

And (not related to linux or docker in any way) there’s still big commercial software which highly paid consultants install and the very first thing they do is to turn the firewall off…

I need goatse.

It’s in wayback machine under original URL. Just scroll to oldest copy of the site.

Ours is Braun, but apparently that’s owned by US company too today. I don’t know about Bosch other than their power tools are a bit hit-or-miss today. Wilfa has pretty good reputation, but I don’t have personal experience and as far as I know they have pretty limited availability outside scandinavia + Finland.

Nothing has these ‘glyph’ lights, but software support for them seems to be pretty limited (not that I’ve looked too deep, all these modern phones are just boring). I hope they can come up with more controls for them, hardware seems to support quite complex patterns.

Based on quick seach on the internet, Ukraine currently has 6 active Patriot systems. If this shipment actually happens and, as the article suggests, includes also missiles and other consumables, it’ll be quite a big deal for Ukraine. My very much not professional guess would be that it doesn’t change the front lines too much, but it should help on shielding their civilians from missile/drone attacks quite a bit.

My understanding is that they are producing a tank once per day or two days. Or?

Very brief search around the internet gives estimations around 250-300 tanks per year but the numbers seems to go down as they struggle to gather parts and resources, specially during 2025, but who knows what kind of supply lines they can arrange with China and other allies in the long run.

The company was sold to Ford at 1999 and to Chinese holding company at 2010. And Renault owns Dacia and parts of Nissan and Mitsubishi. Citroen was owned by Peugeot and they merged with Fiat Chrysler automotive to Stellantis group who own a buttload of brands (Fiat, Jeep, Opel, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler…)

So if you really want to stick on purely European you need to look for MB, VW or BMW.

I’ve been wondering if those fiber reels are glass or plastic. Glass wouldn’t be a big deal when it breaks down but covering whole forests with pieces of plastic is a bit another matter.

War obviously isn’t the environmentally friendly thing in the first place but that’s just something what I’ve wondered with these videos.

From Wikipedia:

The 22nd General Conference on Weights and Measures[27] declared in 2003, “The symbol for the decimal marker shall be either the point on the line or the comma on the line.” It further reaffirmed,[27]

Numbers may be divided in groups of three in order to facilitate reading; neither dots nor commas are ever inserted in the spaces between groups

That is, “1 000 000 000” is preferred over “1,000,000,000” or “1.000.000.000”. This use has therefore been recommended by technical organizations, such as the United States’s National Institute of Standards and Technology.[28]

I came to suggest HGST but apparently I’ve been living under a rock, it’s been sold to WD over a decade ago. And yes, I know Hitachi is not European. Brand name is still around and the drives seem to be pretty decent, but they (too) are owned by US company and manufactured in China/Thailand.

Or they’re just rubbing it in. “Look here, we found these drones from local hacklab and threw them on a truck and it took out sizable portion of Russias planes over the weekend” -kind of way. All of that is pretty simple to figure out anyways, it’s a huge PR victory to reveal everything (with the obvious military victory) and there’s no easy nor cheap way for Russia to prevent that from happening again at somewhere else. Maybe next time it’s not a truck near airfield but a van in Moscow or a tractor trailer at some field nearby training grounds. There’s just no way Russia could monitor and defend everything across their country.

I can’t. And you can’t. Real numbers are not provided. “you must trust the numbers given to you”

I can if I really want to. Down to the last receipt, excluding someones personal information and stuff like that, but in here all that data is public. Not in a sense that everything besides accounting and other “bigger picture” things would be online, but it’s public information anyways and it has to be accessible. Sure, I would definetly annoy the shit out of some poor secretary (or more likely multiple of them) digging up everything and it would take a long time, but it’s still public.
