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.
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.

As my students learn in my Russian intelligence module, the KGB used to do this in Soviet times - it was called a prophylactic chat with the aim of nipping minor transgressions in the bud and discouraging further behaviour that was frowned upon by the state
We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event.

And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.
I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

Jesus Fucking Christ, using "far left" not only makes you look like an idiot, but probably also does the opposite of what you want.

Already reached industry's median level of enshittification, before the level of decentralization promised in the sales pitch? Well done.
Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

@pomerium.io ingress controller feels like abandonware :(

Commit history is mostly bots, first embarrassing bug I've ran into months ago (hardcoded clusterDomain) is still not fixed, and I've got hit by a second bug today (picking up routes that belong to a different gateway class and then OOMing)

Chat, if `sudo ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 4096 ...` tells me:

Error: A VXLAN device with the specified VNI already exists

But `sudo ip -all netns exec ip -d link show type vxlan` shows no such interface - where do I look next?
