That would be super helpful. Everyone always says that the A10s would be too vulnerable to AA but I’m guessing it’s survivability in the skies of Ukraine will probably be higher than helicopters and they are still flying those. A10s will absolutely decimate Russian lines if they can get close.

Oh hey yeah forgot to mention they can use the weapons to strike you now. What’s that? Oh you already lost some military bases? Sorry about that would have told ya sooner but I must have spaced it.

This is the only way to get the conflict to end, let the Ukrainians really hit back so that the Russians are pressured for peace. Without that pressure the invasion of Ukraine will continue indefinitely.

This one seems more cut and dry that other global issues. Madurai has been ruling Venezuela for a long time. An election was held where he wouldn’t let leaders stand against him in the election and had anyone viewed as possibly winning arrested. He did allow the one person to run who he felt wasn’t a threat. That person ended up winning the election but Maduro won’t recognize that he lost and won’t release any proof that he won. The person that won has released proof that he won. Now Maduro says that anyone doubting his narrative is a terrorist. Obviously Russia and China are siding with Maduro as they don’t much like elections either but the rest of the world is pretty unhappy about this development along with the majority of the Venezuelan population. Current supports and members of the party that won are apparently in the embassy that Maduro appears to be surrounding.

How does Trump have supporters? There are nutters everywhere and more than enough to participate in something like this since you know this fraudster will get plenty of press for the event.

How did they pull that off? Article says the location is 1,900 miles north of Ukraine. I imagine the longest range drones Ukraine has are those aircraft that look like converted Cessnas and I don’t think a Cessna is making it that far. Maybe launched by a recon group working inside Russia? No matter how they did it, amazing outcome and I really hope to hear about more strikes like this.

Could be good as a firewall with PFSense or something. 2.5gb to the ISP and a 10gb trunk port. Would be an upgrade for me. All I would use is a drive in it though.

I was at a mall in Kuala Lumpur and was impressed that they had ice skating right in the middle of the mall. Thought that was pretty cool. It was really hot outside but walk into the mall and go ice skating. It was right next to a water park which was also really nice. It seemed like people were there to cool off and walk around but not really shop. Maybe that is the social gathering point for those communities? I was o key there for a week so can’t say I got acquainted with the community but it seemed kinda nice.

My guess is that Oracle has audit logging support but it was not turned on by the implementation vendor. Typically a customer uses a partner for professional services to get it up and running for training and handoff. So it’s probably a mix of people that kicked it up. The one constant with Oracle deployments is that they are always over budget and rarely work and it’s somehow always a mix of faults. So from a high level view it is probably something to do with the way Oracle engages or who they partner with or both.

LOL. That gave me anxiety.

This has been so frustrating to watch. We have half of our country bootlicking the Russian leader that their cult leader is strangely endeared towards. This was our opportunity to really do the right thing and support a people defending themselves and their democracy. Something we as Americans could have been proud of for generations. But no. Republicans couldn’t have us do the right thing. Not even once.

They couldn’t even make it higher than the DAW defaults at 120bpm. So you have new musicians that have never recorded accidentally producing music at 120 and breaking the law. This is the dumbest shit I’ve seen since last week. I don’t typically put anything together that is below 120. Looks like I’m on my way to being a Chechen fugitive.

Capitalist Zombie is an amazing band name. Someone needs to use that.

Hot damn Russia is just making up random shit at this point that has zero continuity in the storyline. At least before they just lied but now it’s moved into some weird super alternate reality.

China really needs to chill out with these crazy claims. They are not making friends in the region and putting everyone on the defensive.

They could invade Maine which would kick off the Maple wars. They’ll start to eye Vermont and New Hampshire next. The US population will be powerless to resist as the Canadians lull the domestic population into submission with free healthcare and Tim Hortons.

This is a really tough situation. What would be the best response to this? It’s a humanitarian crisis and the people of Haiti are going to suffer immensely but what can other countries do? I don’t know much about the gang leader “Barbecue” but I’d wager he isn’t going to be a benevolent leader so just letting him take over is probably going to make things worse. At the same time, I don’t even think a UN peacekeeping force is going to have a positive impact as I’m pretty sure the people of Haiti are suspicious of EU powers due to their history. I can’t see a solution to this one that brings about a stable Haiti in the near term. Hopefully someone with more awareness in this topic could share some insights though.

I run AD at home but it’s because my job is in enterprise software engineering and so running these programs in my home lab requires AD integrations. It’s also needed for HyperV and SCVMM along with things like SQL server auth and GMSA which I can’t get out of testing. Ironically most of my work is in open source/Linux but Windows servers are all over the Enterprise so I don’t have a choice but to run this stuff. No real users on it and just used for the lab.

Someone has to help them. Who else is up on deck for that?

Anyone know if Guayana has enough of a military to deter Venezuelan aggression? I am not under the impression they can mount a defense but hoping I am wrong.
