Zelenskyy says Ukrainian troops have taken full control of the Russian town of Sudzha

    It’s wrong to put them in that position, if it is retaken then surely they would be collectively punished. And this referendum would not follow international law anyway. The area will be occupied until it is retaken by Putler or the war ends.

  • A Sysadmin Christmas Poem
  • baascus baascus 10mo ago 100%

    An old favorite

    'Twas the night before start-up and all through the net, not a packet was moving; no bit nor octet. The engineers rattled their cards in despair, hoping a bad chip would blow with a flare. The salesmen were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of data nets danced in their heads. And I with my datascope tracings and dumps prepared for some pretty bad bruises and lumps. When out in the hall there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.

    There stood at the threshold with PC in tow, An ARPANET hacker, all ready to go. I could see from the creases that covered his brow, he'd conquer the crisis confronting him now. More rapid than eagles, he checked each alarm and scrutinized each for its potential harm.

    On LAPB, on OSI, X.25! TCP, SNA, V.35!

    His eyes were afire with the strength of his gaze; no bug could hide long; not for hours or days. A wink of his eye and a twitch of his head, soon gave me to know I had little to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, fixing a net that had gone plumb berserk; And laying a finger on one suspect line, he entered a patch and the net came up fine!

    The packets flowed neatly and protocols matched; the hosts interfaced and shift-registers latched. He tested the system from Gateway to PAD; not one bit was dropped; no checksum was bad. At last he was finished and wearily sighed and turned to explain why the system had died. I twisted my fingers and counted to ten; an off-by-one index had done it again...

    Sounds like a bad idea to announce when the hardware will be moving. We’ve seen past weapons transfers announced to be happening “soon” though they’ve already occurred. They may well already be in Ukraine.

    I don’t care who you are or what your credentials are. Open-source projects value contributions, not just commentary. If you had a ready solution, the constructive approach would be to submit a PR. This community prioritizes a collaborative spirit and problem-solving, not individual resumes. The developers handled the issue appropriately considering their workflow and other priorities. In this space, actions and respectful communication speak louder than titles.

    Why should Western nations continue to open their arms to those who persecute Christians arbitrarily for their faith? No one should live in fear of the state due to their beliefs. This drift toward fascism is alarming, and it strays significantly from the principles of tolerance and mutual respect that our forefathers advocated.

    I’ll be rolling out my first batch of CX 10Ks in the next few weeks and will be giving Central a shot. Anyone have any experience with any of the higher end CX switches in Central? I’m wondering what the feature support is going to look like in GUI mode and if it’s going to be another template mode disaster.

    The U.S. Supreme Court's recent term ended with a flurry of conservative-leaning decisions that have been met with shock and disapproval, particularly from the left. This conservative trend is seen as a reflection of the 6-3 conservative majority established during Trump's presidency. Noteworthy rulings include siding with a web designer who refused services to same-sex couples, ending affirmative action in colleges, and dismissing President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan.
