That is a natural reaction of person that tracks only western MSM and doesn’t pay attention to gradual rise in western politician attitudes.

Russian nuclear doctrine change reflects changed attitude in western propaganda.

You must not be aware of the following developments. Poland is already primed to fight. Baltic states openly talk about preemptive strike on Russia. Western long range weapons are pretty much cleared to strike “old” Russian territory. Country on southern side of Russia is set to become 2nd Ukraine. NATO general claims that Russia will not use nukes under any circumstances and thus justifies any level of involvement.

In this environment expansion of nuclear deterrence is pretty much the only option from Russian point of view.

Please note that inside Russia there are calls to strike from Kiev to London due to crossing of previously announced red lines. Someone was right here. Putin is moderate if not outright inactive.

The above creates potentially unstable environment inside Russia and may give Russian government additional motivation to use nukes at location of regional importance.

There are some reasons for western side to provoke Russia, which nobody here wants to discuss or acknowledge.

It shall come as no surprise that NATO has larger military than Russia. Russia never made it a secret that the only way to balance out conventional strength difference is with nukes.

The calculation on Russian side is that they will destroy large amount of opposing side military and equipment. It should be enough to stop any meaningful ground action.

So, reality is very close to getting out of control.

All it takes is a small provocation on the border side that looks like invasion even if it is just a large scale disruption in communication on the border line and incursion of some military equipment.

The later happened already on Belorussian border in last 12 months. So the scenario was tested in part by Poland.

Be aware, that trusted Certificate Authority (CA) configuration applies to ALL certificates issued by CA. Thus, if one elects to trust "actalis" CA, then they trust ALL actalis CA users.

If the process of obtaining certificate was extremely simple, easy and did not involve identity verification steps, then bad actors can take advantage of this process and create identities that your client application will trust.

By itself the bad actor identity is of little concern to anybody, but it can have a significant impact if trusted identity is used in spam filtering, exploits of email client bugs or other hack attempts. Trusted users may be given higher access privilege at the client application level, which may be just enough for hacker to gain required access. For example, client application may be configured to trust all trusted senders with MIME attachments. An unknown trusted user sends malicious Application as file attachment. Accidental double click lunches the application without "are you sure?" prompt. Congratulations, machine is pwned.

The problem is easily mitigated by not importing root CA for easy CAs.

We can just wait for 5 days and see ourselves it is true or not.

Lol

Give us some links for combo of motherboard, CPU and fan. I assume it needs a fan.

With requirements like yours, just use RUST itself.

GO language can be used as scripting language on Linux.

I imagine the same approach can be used with RUST.

Fish is all I need for daily CLI. It is zero customization effort for me. Spend your time on productive side, not fzf your shell history.

https://fishshell.com/docs/current/tutorial.html

Keep bash as default root shell and just start fish manually when using root. It is for cases when linux panics on boot.

Scary details.

It depends on your location and particularly on how strong the seasons are at your place.

Mine lasted for years as far as battery is concerned.

Unfortunately the loudness level has dropped significantly. I went to Apple store and they acknowledged this as that’s what happens to them.

Eventually I gave up and replaced with alternative lower cost similar style headphones. The sound level is plenty, but microphone is terrible. I tried several and found I found similar problems. It is acceptable for much lower cost, but doesn’t compare.

Hi, can someone point me to a good resource where I can ask for DIY solution of home speaker.

I need home speakers that can play music and messages from home machine.

Target music is something like jellyfin, messaging is not decided.

Goal is to have a speaker per room like Apple speaker, but controllable from Linux.

Install Manjaro on VM, see how they did it. Then install Arch with the same packages. It is best if you have life example. That’s how I matched my 1st Arch.

These days there’s archinstall script on standard Arch install image. It supports LUKS 2 disc encryption and BTRFS root. If you save your configuration and load it, then retry attempts take no time. Saving configuration is best done to a separate USB stick.

As far as maintenance. It is near zero cost. Check website for warnings then

 pacman -Syu

While officially yay is not supported, it is a great tool to keep AUR packages up to date. These days it updates system prior to running AUR updates.

Manjaro breaks more often than Arch, but as a 1st time OS is great.
