My best guess is that since BCS-East was finished 1995, and both countries only had telecom liberalisation in 2003, maybe there was a time where it was easier to build through the water, because it wouldn’t encroach on the monopolists market on the land.

Or it was a sort of easier starter project before the BCS-East-West Interlink was built until 1997 from Lithuania over to Gotland, while also allowing Alcatel to sell access from/to Gotland from/to both Lithuania and Latvia.

FWIW, this has NOT disrupted the local internet significantly.

That’s good to hear. I figured between Lithuania and Latvia there should be enough terrestrial routes for redundancies to work out fine.

Two that I run for our little group outside the ones you mention are Space Engineers and Valheim

Edit: Space Engineers is a little annoying though, you either have to use some emulated / translated setup, (I think I saw some being cobbled together by others), or you have to run a Windows Server VM.

But it does say right on that page:

Take note that the network request logger in uBO is a forward-looking logger: this means only future requests can be logged.

In the spirit of efficiency, uBO will log entries IF AND ONLY IF the logger is opened. Otherwise, if the logger is not opened, no CPU/memory resources are consumed by uBO for logging purpose.

Not that many it seems… Ignoring extremely pricey ones, I could find the Lenovo ThinkVision E65 LFD for what converts to 1200 USD in a local shop. And even that is not really price competitive.

HDMI has never been an open standard (to the best of my understanding anyway). You’ve always needed to be an adopter or a member of HDMI forum to get the latest (or future) specs. So it’s not like they’ve just rejected a new idea.

Okay not publishing the spec is still the same, but something else is new nonetheless.

AMD is an adopter*, they have the spec and they implemented a driver for 2.1 intended to be open sourced in Linux. But they were still blocked from publishing it. For HDMI 1.4 that wasn’t an issue yet from what I’ve found (though it’s always hard to search for non-existence). Open source implementations of HDMI 1.4, even in hardware description languages, seem to exist.

*you can search for “ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES” here to confirm for yourself

vu, the past participle of voir.

Oh I remember. There are tons of events and associated handlers. Even just switching to landscape view stops and restarts an android view I think. Friends at uni handled that problem by disallowing landscape view instead of handling it hahah

But that’s exactly the lesson. You help the weak supressed civilians against the powerful authoritarian racist military.

Religion is not the part that mattered in the Holocaust.

Hope he doesn’t get the Kashoggi treatment. After all “things happen”, according to Trump.

When riding trains I look at the concrete cable canal running along the tracks thinking about whether we rent any fibers in that one or not.

Oh nice those 40 bit addresses, just what we needed to spice up our IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack world

With the short variable you probably also get shadowing. That’s super fun in a new code base.

Or another favourite of mine: The first time I had to edit a perl script at work someone had used a scalar and a hash with the same name. Took me a while to realize that scalars, arrays, and hashes have separate namespaces, and the two things with seemingly the same name were unrelated.

Probably like 30 out of the 200. It really is a ridiculously common name.

Edit: I just looked it up, 20% of South Koreans are called Kim.

Then I’d be pretty violent against demon invasions of our world. Or maybe I already am, don’t really know how to test it out lol.

Yeah he almost has to say it, regardless of his thoughts, at least to keep up appearances, if he wants to appear christian.

I get 6-7, and I like to get 7.

6 and later a 30min nap is also good, but the nap isn’t always that well compatible with work. I do that quite often in summer when it’s too hot to sleep very well and I’m working from home.

Should be sleeping now, but the clock change from UTC+2 to UTC+1 is throwing me off at the moment.

Trying to find specific context on this guy, here’s what I got so far: The picture was taken 14. October 2025 “around 11 a.m.” in Chicago, “near 105th Street and Avenue N in the East Side neighborhood”. The rest of the uniform indicates he’s a member of a Special Response Team, whatever that is.

Okay sure, they are a bunch of idiots, yes men, and fascists. I’m happy to agree on that.

But how would that even fit into the plans? They are currently just sinking drug ships and calling that a win, ignoring due process and international outcry like usual. They don’t need a false flag bust for that strategy, nor does it make sense to assume they’d suddenly use a more complex plan than “lob rocket uga buga” which has so far been the cleverest they came up with in terms of foreign policy.

And then, assuming someone with some planing capability stuck around and actually came up with this international false flag drug smuggling operation for some indecipherable reason, why would they immediately after go back to brain-dead-mode and start sending a fresh-hire teenager to pose as a hardened Venezuelan smuggler?

I think admitting it was an attempt at a false flag operation is the last thing such an operative would do if captured…

And Diosdado Cabello is not the most trustworthy figure.
