Ditch the batteries and just spin up a large flywheel.

Fucking spawn campers.

Russia has recruited many more troops since then. The proper way to interpret this information is that the majority of troops currently deployed in Ukraine were conscripted after the start of the war.

Is there another option available though? When was the last time you saw a loaf of bread sold in anything other than a plastic bag?

While the consumer does bear responsibility in what theh choose to purchase, we cannot shift the blame for the entire product and it’s packaging onto them unless there are truly viable alternatives.

Put a recycling charge directly onto the manufacturer so that those with the ability to make real change are the ones bearing the cost of not doing so.

I had two jetsons that i was using for a project, had one on my desk and one in another office. Started back into some gpio stuff that I’d been working on the last few days and found that i was getting nothing, after about an hour of fucking with configuration trying to determine what had happened, i realised that i had sshed into the wrong one.

Now i make sure to give descriptive hostnames to every device on my network.

I really find it hard to empathise with a company that outsources it’s manufacturing to China in order to exploit cheap labour and poor environmental protections. It feels like having your IP ripped off by the people you’re exploiting in order to save a buck is fair comeuppance.

I’m not sure I follow you. If the missile is using gps for guidance(during at least part of it’s flight), then it is by definition a gps quided rocket is it not?

Also, gps quidance isnt terribly expensive. I use industrial grade units which go for about 3kusd and provide sub-metre accuracy in highly gnss denied enviroments. Lower grade ~3m accuracy units go for around a hundred dollars, and would be completely sufficient for hitting a target the size of a truck.

Depending on the range at which the signals start to become jammed, it could be possible to navigate solely by IMU for the final leg also.

Looks like my original source was antony beevors book ‘stalingrad’, but the wikipedia page on decimation has a lot of discussion about the veracity of it, and it no longer appears on the main page

Wouldn’t be the first time. The soviets already did that in ww2, so there is a precedent for it.

The cheapest option is to make it yourself. Keep an eye out for renovations or demolition around town, then either speak to the workers and ask politely for a cutting-board sized slab of discarded wood, or raid the skip when no-one is there.

If you’ve got a saw, a planer and a sander you can make one up in about an hour. Then just treat it a handful of times with cooking oil and you’re good to go.

Leave to where? Should they be forced to abandon their homes and their families because most of their countrymen are fed up with living in a ghetto and chose to fight back?

Apologies if i wasnt clear there, but the point I intended to convey was indeed that you should only use an OS that you yourself have installed, to ensure that it hasnt been shipped with any bloatware or backdoors.

Hardware manufacturers have been doing it for years with modified windows installs, and I see no reason to beleieve they aren’t trying the same thing with Linux installs.

Never trust the OS that ships with a device. Wipe it, format the disk, and pray that they don’t have a backdoor at the bios level.

I disagree. The pi series are never going to do any serious heavy lifting in terms of computation, their niche is lightweight hardware that allows you to decentralise systems. Making a more powerful system at a higher price point isn’t really useful in that case.

I would rather have two less powerful machines that i can install in separate modules to control separate systems, than one centralised machine that’s still not powerful enough to do everything on it’s own. Plus, you get double the GPIO pins if you use two boards.

But it’s not a tarxz, it’s an xz containing a tar, and you perform operations from right to left until you arrive back at the original files with whatever extensions they use.

If I compress an exe into a zip, would you expect that to be an exezip? No, you expect it to be file.exe.zip, informing you(and your system) that this file should first be unzipped, and then should be executed.

It was hunted to near extinction by introduced predators and considered extinct for several decades until a handful of survivors were located in some very remote areas.

When the survivors were found, the department of conservation moved them into a breeding program on some offshore islands where they would be free from predators. Since then the population has slowly grown and predator eradication programs on the mainland have had enough success that we’re now taking a calculated risk on moving some of them back to their original habitat.
