I was going to note that and the fact that Russia’s attack on Kyiv killed four innocent people, but I didn’t have the actual casualty report of the Ukrainian operation and I didn’t want to be one of those people that makes statements without being sure of the facts. So, I left it out…but yes, I think that is a fairly safe assumption.
"ICE officers continue to feel ill with symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, fever, and achy joints. These symptoms align with bacterial upper respiratory infection…
Ukraine does a methodical surgical strike against military targets. Russia responds with chaotic attack on the civilian capital.
Life rarely gives you such clear “good vs evil” distinctions yet plenty of people refuse to accept it.
There is a comment in the Reddit thread linked by the other user that sums it up nicely. Ukraine was the California of the Soviet Union. Sevastopol was San Diego and Ukraine housed a lot of the top universities and aerospace engineering in the Soviet Union. Think Stanford and NASA’s JPL in California. In great part, those scary planes, missiles and submarines could be traced back to Ukraine.
(All of this is an oversimplification, of course)
At this point I have to repeat it daily. I’m old enough to remember fearing the Soviet Union. One of the biggest baddies was Ukraine because they were the brain. Russia forgot this and now they have a nation full of highly motivated eggheads looking to do some damage. If Russian satellite orbits suddenly and catastrophically start to degrade, I wouldn’t be surprised.
I drive the I-10/12 stretch between Austin and Orlando at least four times per year and I used to drive between Austin and the French Quarter in the early 2010’s all the time because I had a place in the quarter. I have not seen bugs like I did in the 90’s since around 2010.
I lived in Louisiana in the 90’s. If you didn’t add a mesh (think window screen) to your car grill before driving on the highway, your radiator grill would clog with bugs and you’d overheat.

I can see many use cases. Here’s one.
Imagine Joe.
Joe makes well over $250k/year doing furry porn livestreams. Nobody knows Joe’s face but they are intimately familiar with his penis and anal sphincter.
Joe doesn’t want to explain to his friends and family what he does for a living.
Joe deepfakes himself a career.
His deeply conservative parents are very proud of Joe.
Lindsey Graham is a pus riddled sore. Why does cancer harm the innocent when there is righteous work to be done?
As a Gen-Xer who remembers living in fear of the Soviet Union killing us all, I clearly remember Ukraine being the big baddie. That’s where the brains and the tech of the Soviets came from. It seems that Putin forgot that crucial fact.
The 2020’s are literally the Cyberpunk future authors warned us about.
No cookies for either of them.
Understatement of the year. There is nothing Israel can do in what is left of my lifetime that will atone for this horror.

I’ve been meaning to switch from Tailscale to Headscale but I have been to busy. Do you have any instructions, write-ups/walk-thrus you could recommend to set this up? I have three sites with 1GB internet I can use. One has a whole house UPS but dynamic IP, another has a static IP but no UPS, and the third is Google fiber with no UPS, but I can use the app to get the current IP anytime. I also own a number of domain names I could use.
