Russia's been actively trying to push their own Telegram replacement called 'Max', while throttling access to Telegram to discourage it's use.

They have outright blocked Telegram before (2018) because they refused to hand over users encryption keys to the FSB. That sparked outrage and protests because of it's widespread use, and was ultimately overturned because of it's heavy use even within the Russian government.

The more recent throttling has been causing huge struggles within their own military units because they've become dependent on it, as well as struggles with their ability to push propaganda outside Russia.

A lot of ccTLDs get used outside their countries because they're cheap too.

I've got a .pw name (Palau) because it was only 11$.

Specifically; this article is talking about the devices that convert DC power generated by solar panels into AC power that's supplied to homes.

Seems they're mostly talking about home installations, but this could effect larger commercial setups too.

Steal what you can carry and torch the rest.

proof of the kid and parents thing

Spend some time around todays parents and their young kids. It's so incredibly common to see small kids (I'm talking 2-8y/o) just completely enticed by a screen, ignoring everything else around them, and screaming their heads off whenever it's taken away. It's become a bit of an epidemic, with many many article's and videos discussing the topic.

Here's the first result I got on YouTube: (having just now listened to it while typing this comment, it actually does a descent job explaining the problem) https://youtu.be/QE_E9Q9jVzU Feel free to do further searching yourself...

It's not limited to just children either, they're just the most susceptible.

Lmao, I think I first saw this one on a post about Russian's crying about their gas prices/queues.

Boo fucking hoo, the consequences of my (in)actions

Edge re-installing itself after I've manually taken ownership of its files and purged them from the system 6 fucking times is what's going to finally drive me to abandon windows and go full linux.

I just haven't had the time or energy to rebuild my software stack on a still pretty new to me OS. (emby, the Arrs, Ombi, nginx, and more)

I setup a debian machine a while ago and have been slowly trying to get used to it while migrating a few things, but It's hard when windows is so engrained in most of what I've done on pc.
