Generally it is better not to show kids those cartoons. I have 3 kids already and trust me: Stick and some piece of thread is much better. 3 hours of watching anything for the entire week is more than enough.

I bought last year mobo with IPMI so in theory I could have forgot about SSH and just inspect startup logs if it would fail to start.

Though I must say I am not brave enough and my family uses it so I prefer to have jest one broken service instead of enire machine.

But it is possible.


Except you've replaced something good with something worse. IPMI really isn't an improvement over having SSH to the system. It definitely has more security holes.

That is looks interesting. An idea to configure server on run via symtemd would probably mean that migrating from machine to machine would be very easy. It always meant for me at least two days of carefull planning, copying od files testing and fixes because I always forgot about some obscure config changes I did somewhere, like adding DNS entry somewhere or disabling default SMTP on debian.

"EU shadow cabal" funny considering that he then mentions running for help to US politicians.

Vance is hardly operating in the shadows. He is a very public figure.

I presume that law was passed by public vote of Italian elected politicians? Not a shadow either

Yep. It sounds like “shadowy cabal” is just an emotive term for “deputised decision-makers doing something that is inconvenient for my organisation”. There’s nothing shadowy about it. It’s just not American.

we only see 20% of what happens in the shadow, but yah, I guess its better than 100%

You can accuse the US politicians of a lot but hiding in the shadows is probably the last thing you can say about the current USA administration.

Isn't this the same government that started a secret war against Venezuela without any authorization?

Secret? You can say a lot about the USA in Venezuela but secret isn't it and of course it was authorized congress explicitly granted the president the powers to do it.

Hardly "authorized" when the required consultation was sidestepped:

Trump’s attack on Venezuela without alerting Congress tests limits of executive power - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/04/trump-congre...

Now that they're aware, they're belatedly and ineffectively attempting to reign him in:

Senate votes to limit Trump on Venezuela - https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/08/senate-votes-to-res...


No. Furthermore, that is not a shadow cabal.

Why do people go out of their way to criticize Trump like this?

Attacking other countries without declaring war is a staple of pretty much every US president since WW2, republican or democrat. Carter is the only one who stands out (ironically, despite the fact that he had a good cause to invade Iran).


Sorry, which presidents did Obama and Biden kidnap again?

I mean they bombed Libya enough to get Muammar Gaddafi killed is that close enough?

you mean because they get found out, not because they don't try?

it's even funnier considering EU's shadowy chat control adoption

If there were an EU shadow cabal who exactly would you run to help for?

When Bonasera’s daughter is assaulted and the perpetrators released, he goes to Don Corleone. That makes sense. It’s not funny or ironic that he turns to criminals to help with criminals.

You need power to counter power.


What an absurd twisting of reality this is. There is no EU shadow cabal, as opposed to the very real not-so-shadowy cabal currently running the USA. Where the EU is concerned with a rule-based order, justice, and fair conditions, the US administration engages in open corruption, cronyism, and outright rule by force.

The CEO of an American company complaining about the unfair treatment in Europe is more than ridiculous.


Probably because the admin has been vocal and proactive about extraterritorial overreach by European countries hellbent on global censorship programs.

The UK has thrown thousands of people in jail for speech on social media, as has Germany. Both of those countries also attempt to censor speech OUTSIDE of their own countries too.

Source?


Certainly. The UK routinely and repeatedly jails people for protected speech, including speech protected by international standards. [1] [2] [3]

[1] https://freedomhouse.org/country/united-kingdom/freedom-net/...

[2] "Internet freedom declined in the United Kingdom during the coverage period due to a reported increase in criminal charges for online speech"

[3] "A separate report from The Telegraph found that 292 people had been charged for spreading false information and “threatening communications” under the Online Safety Act between when it came into effect in 2023 and February 2025. Some civil liberties groups expressed concern that the laws were being applied broadly and in some cases punished speech protected by international human rights standards (C3)."


Inciting racial hatred etc is not protected speech in the UK

> proactive extraterritorial overreach

They are certainly very active in the subject, although judging by the last week, they are not really against it in every case

>The UK has thrown thousands of people in jail for speech on social media

That is just not true, is it. No matter how many times you say it

292 is not thousands though, is it? Making the statement a barefaced lie.

That is before we go into the actual cases of what those people did. I'm concerned about it too, and am able to freely engage with my political representatives over it. They listen and discuss it, because we are a functioning democracy. But hyping it up and lieing about it doesn't help the discussion. Please don't do what everyone else does next and post about one specific case that on a cursory examination seems troubling, I won't be drawn into it.


There are no "European Global Censorship Programs".

Maybe try to get your information elsewhere than Fox News (based on the Nonsense in all your recent comments)


> There are no "European Global Censorship Programs".

Except Chat Control of course.


Where does the EU want to reach beyond their borders here?

> The UK has thrown thousands of people in jail for speech on social media

Not true… and those that were jailed were convicted for inciting racial hatred and most of them admitted the offence


Is who ever disagreed with this capable of providing the evidence that it’s inaccurate?

This is flat-out factually inaccurate. Don’t bring this tripe here, please and thank you.

You are joking right? There were handred of thousands of people that did this in last ten years or so to EU.

Maybe he meant this in more general way. Or this is how did read this.

> The most self-evident, convivial answer is an old one: blogs. HTML is free to access by default, RSS has worked for about 130 years

What the... How RSS which is an XML can predates internet and computers and even transistors?


If that is true we will live in a funny world when you will loose all your money because you where running some outdated, riddled with holes software written by LLM running on some old router old cheap camera. Or some software will stop working after an update because some fix was written by LLM and nobody checked that nor tested. Or they will 3 outages of big internet services in 2 months.

Oh wait. It is already a thing.


But how about some silly software for just a giggle. Like 'write website that plays fart sound when you push button'? That can be a thing for the kids at school.

They, like 7kids and 4 adults, I did not bother to count, did attack military base, with actual military trained personnel with military equipment. And they did succeed. This is not bad? They just stroll in upside down and nothing ever attacks them. Where the swarm of bats disappeared? When demogorgons attack to kidnap kids they come from upside down. But in upside down they nowhere to be seen. Military general could disappear from the series and it would have no impact. Maybe they just wanted woman in position of power? Demogorgons attack entire military base personnel and kill dozens of people but then they are killed by hospital patient. When and why she setup that trap exactly? And how she now can speak? How white goo is easy to brake but also solid enough so it does not brake under the pressure of the entire building ? How and why it just appears and solidifies in the exact right moment? And excuse me.... But wormhole? Could not they thing of something else? Oh and Vecna killing a guy. And we did not even see what was in the case. They are under strict quarantine but have personnel smuggler that can just bring them everything they want. It is not bad it is terrible.

> And we did not even see what was in the case.

You know there are two more episodes, right? That seems like an obvious finale reveal.


They were not even in hurry. If that was important for the viewers it should be even more important to the characters. If this was not important and they do not care then the whole premise of traumatic Vecna memory was useless pile of utter garbage because memory cannot be traumatic and not important. Ever had trauma doing grocerries? Or riding a cab? And then they should not be able to escape. Because he would get them before that.

They just invent stuff that they have no idea how to explain later. Just like Lost.
