  • Buddy chill its not that deep. He flew too low and in the range of an IR missile battery that they failed to spot as part of their SIGINT. That’s why they have video, he was so close that radar stealth literally would not matter. It even explains the small missile warhead size.

    And DAS missile detectors have been pretty awful at being able to detect missiles due to their tiny package size. There’s no gg ez RWR for passive tracking missiles.

    They’re flying sorties more brashly because they thought AA was taken care of, which is how this ambush succeeded.

    Yes it’s defnitley a first for successfully hitting the F-35, but this isn’t some groundbreaking concept. It would have been huge news if they targeted the F-35 at a BVR range with active tracking like with a radar or data link solution.

    Like I said, I’m sure the soldiers were super excited that they got a hit, but they would defnitley have preferred to have scored a full kill with a pilot ejection and subsequent capture.






  • The fact that CachyOS more or less successfully replaced Manjaro’s purpose I guess is evidence of Manjaro’s issues.

    I forgot but I think Bazzite had similar complaints (due to its use of silverblue) in which case it was just more straightforward to use Fedora or OpenSUSE if you don’t want to work with the read only root system.

    Downstream distros need to bring additional value to the table to be worth using, otherwise there’s really no need if you can make a package group that accomplishes the same thing in one go.






  • (I don’t need strong censorship resistance; it just has to work in offices and hotel WiFis.

    Wireguard on 443 or OpenVPN + Stunnel on 443

    Wireguard is easier to setup because there’s no OpenVPN app that packages stunnel (afaik), so you have to run 2 apps on your phone to make it work.

    A server like caddy can also accept HTTPS traffic for some regular websites next to the VPN server.

    Wireguard uses UDP, so just run whatever you want on 443 TCP with caddy (unless you want QUIC for some reason?)

    Anything beyond that and you’d be looking at using a proper obfuscation solution like Shadowsocks or obfs4, in which case you should look into Amnezia or Tor bridges.


  • I’m really disappointed that someone hasn’t just made a standalone userspace addon to implement the feature, shoved in down California’s throat, and told them to come back with complaints once they can find where BSD came from.

    Adding this type of “support” is just giving legitimacy to crappy legislation. I would not bother even creating the underlying system so some underpaid google intern can make his age verification app 2% faster.

    This entire fiasco could have been a bash script that uses a new file in /etc to store birthdays.





  • Asim Munir, the current COAS and second ever self appointed field marshal of Pakistan’s Army, spent the last couple of years basically shooting the country in the foot by deleting the democratically elected government, attempting to assasinate the former PM, jailing the former PM under false charges (of which the public hasn’t seen since 2023), nuking the economy with IMF loans, and beating Israel to be the first to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

    All while showing up to Washington in a private jet as much as Netanyahu.

    This entire “war” with Afghanistan was an American request that he happily obliged to conduct. No one is buying it, which is one of the reasons why the US Consulate in Karachi was attacked by armed protestors over a week ago.

    For all intents and purposes, you can just currently consider Pakistan a vassal state of the US, just like KSA or UAE.
