World 'merely watching' as North Korea threat grows


"NorthKorea has tested a new #ballistic #missile just yesterday, achieving record time and sufficient altitude," Zelensky said on X.

"Yet the world is just watching, observing as this #threat grows."

Pyongyang's cooperation with Moscow has enabled improvements in #NorthKorean military technology that are "already evident," he said. With North Korean troops joining Russia on the battlefield, #Pyongyang will also have the opportunity to learn the tactics of "modern warfare."

Poland starts fortifying border with Russia's Kaliningrad exclave as part of 'East Shield' initiative


The "East Shield" program aims to fortify #Poland's #borders with #Belarus, and the #Russian exclave of #Kaliningrad. It includes a mix of new physical barriers, modern surveillance systems, and infrastructure development.

The program is part of #NATO’s eastern flank joint regional defense infrastructure plan that Poland is carrying out with #Lithuania, #Latvia, and #Estonia.

Warsaw allocated a total of 10 billion złoty ($2.5 billion) to strengthen the borders with Russia and Belarus to deter aggression.

"This is the largest operation to strengthen Poland’s eastern border, NATO’s eastern flank, since 1945,"

Windows 11 24H2?? Sick of this?
Are you tired of doing your daily tasks with endless troubleshooting, console commands and explanatory videos? Are you fed up with unwanted monitoring and advertising? Switch to a modern, fast and peaceful system in your own hands today. Start using Linux today! MINT for daily use or Kubuntu for Power user and Futurists.

Mint is a lovely solid stable daily driver, it’s only problem is like Debian it’s packages are a bit old sometimes… I always look and see what a machine is actually expected to do.
I presume you can move debian based mint to sid repos. (or a devuan based to ceres).
I have to admit liking Manjaro. Now that’s pretty bleeding edge yet doesn’t break too often
lol. that was funny. a cascade of inevitable woes. throughout that paragraph and ongoing, through the same joke.
20+ years ago as an early 64 bit adopter I ran Sabayon…
was about to object to that, saying it's not possible... ... ... then started wondering, has it really been that long? when did sabayon start? when did 64bit start?

:O

(ps, Sabayon was my 2nd main distro considered home, after suse, aside much distro-surfing, around version 3.2 or 3.3 iirc).
The OP’s grandmother, or even the OP’s granddaughter, will probably never use Linux. It’s a niche OS by nature.
I dont know the grandmother or grandaughter in question or why such an assertion can be made for them specifically, but, linux, the OS, by its nature, can be shaped to fill almost any niche... so why is it they will probably never use linux? loser's script presumptive projecting? maybe we could build a custom one for them.
fwiw, I don’t even go into the BSD / GPL argument in front of them. That’s a masters-level discussion… and I bet a few of us could write a thesis about the differences
o_O

it was encountering such distinctions up front that were part and parcel of me understanding what it is, why it is, how it is, and why i got interested in free software. i think every fail i've had at inspiring interest in free software may be because i failed to convey what free software is and thus why it's of importance and worth intrigue and investment; and every success, because the freedom and the implications of that were conveyed, and i think maybe that might be done better with offering the distinction of "free and free alike", or "free to un-free".

idk, maybe for some, maybe for all.
i think enthused free software elaborate evangelising is more enticing than a dismissive "just use mint".
after a couple of minutes explaining the package manager they seem to manage just fine.
yeah, methinks this something any distro striving to be accessible to new users can do much better... ferrying them to understanding the package manager. it no one points it out to you, it's possible to be using a linux distro with no idea about a package manager. lets get a first-boot help dialogue window with a friendly little animated konky pointing to the concise package manager intro "this is how to install more software..."
The only BSD I’ve even looked at is DragonflyBSD for my personal server, but that was a while ago
stop.

HAMMER time.

In fact, there are at least two cartridge types with that number, .357 Magnum & the swiss .357 SIG. 0.357 x 25.4 = 9.0678mm, I think that any gauge we call 9mm in Europe would be .357 , although I don't know much about this.

Since I got a lot of suggestions on my windows/linux post what else you could and should have mentioned for a distro. Here is my question directly.

What Linux distro and interface do you use? What should newcomers use? (I know for some this is religion - I fully understand)

Russia not advancing in Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, contact line stabilized


#Toretsk and #ChasivYar have become one of the hottest spots in #Donetsk Oblast in recent months as #Russian troops continue advancing in Ukraine's east.

"At the moment, they do not have an advantage in these towns. The contact line is stabilized," Bobovnikova said.

Japan:
Verbot der gleichgeschlechtlichen Ehe ist verfassungswidrig

Am 30. Oktober entschied das Oberste Gericht in Tokio, dass das Verbot der gleichgeschlechtlichen Ehe gegen die Artikel 14.1 und 24.2 der Verfassung verstößt. Dies ist ein bedeutender Erfolg für Japans LGBTQIA+-Gemeinschaft, der durch verschiedene Gerichtsurteile schrittweise erreicht wurde. 01.11.24

Best celebrity endorsement of Harris I've seen.
this weekend that China-backed hackers have compromised the wiretap systems of several U.S. telecom and internet providers, likely in an effort to gather intelligence on Americans.
\
The wiretap systems, as mandated under a 30-year-old U.S. federal law, are some of the most sensitive in a telecom or internet provider’s network, typically granting a select few employees nearly unfettered access to information about their customers, including their internet traffic and browsing histories.
\
But for the technologists who have for years sounded the alarm about the security risks of legally required backdoors, news of the compromises are the “told you so” moment they hoped would never come but knew one day would.
\
“I think it absolutely was inevitable,” Matt Blaze, a professor at Georgetown Law and expert on secure systems, told TechCrunch regarding the latest compromises of telecom and internet providers.
