If the Trumpist go down this road Putin might be right with his prophesy that the US will collapse within five years. But don't despair, the 13 founding states will always be welcome in the European Union. Right next to Ukraine :-)

I tended to get every flu and every diarrhoea even before the pandemic. One day I decided to wash my hands thoroughly after shopping. Then came the pandemic. I am not making this up but I haven't had any sickness for eighth years. No flu, no diarrhoea. I didn't even catch COVID. Just because I started washing my hands a bit more often, around half a dozen times a day.

I beat that. When I first installed a BSD in 1988 - I was 16 and stupid - I thought I would copy files like on Amiga or MSDOS by "copy filename c:" and did cp filename /dev/sda.

You only do that ONCE.

I’m assuming by “dot” you meant @

In fact both are optional. With FQDN-Adressing a user without domain defaults to localhost, with Bang-Adressing there is no @ because the last system is left for interpretation of the last receiver and if he consideres it a user, so be it.

I rooted my 2013 Samsung TV and overclocked it from 800 to 1200Mhz (the whole system is actually build for 1200Mhz but only the Highend-Ones are qualified for it). To my surprise the amount of data it send to Samsung was quite reasonable but still I removed most of it. Full removal of Internet is not an option because then I lose HbbTV and Prime TV which is like 50% of what I use that device for. And since I rooted it I also use it for BS and the public broadcasting mediatheks. Also, it now runs Quake2 in 1920x1080 in ~20fps.

No, dots are NOT necessary. Actually you do not even need to supply a domain or a top level domain because mails then default to the default system which is usually localhost.

But even for routed mail there doesn't need to be a dot.

There is still valid Bang-Adressing for UUCP routed emails:

!bigsite!foovax!barbox!me

This is a valid email which basically means "send my email to bigsite, from there to foovax, then to barbox, to the user me."

And if you are in a playful mood - mix FQDN and BANG addressing...

A couple of years ago I made Hotmail crash by sending a mail to googlemail.de!hotmail.com!googlemail.com!hotmail.de!googlemail.ca!hotmail.ca!googlemail.fr!hotmail.fr!... [repeated it for 32kByte] ...!myuseraccount - their server literally crashed completely all over the world for like 15 minutes. I am so proud of myself but then it was their fault for not complying to RfC822.

I have used Linux since 1993 (Slackware, Suse and Debian) and Ubuntu since 2006. I consider switching back to Debian because I hate snap and other containers for Of-the-Line Software and while I can uninstall snap and install a De-Snapped Firefox directly from Mozilla I hate doing this Extra-Work.

Dudes, even the "newer faster" Firefox-Snap is still taking three times as long to start and uses twice as much memory and on my work computer, a Core2 Q9550 with 8GByte of memory, this is VERY noticable. Yes, the system is old but for work more than enough. My i7 is only for games and I don't mix work and fun.

Oh, and then there is that old neighbour who is using a Pentium4 3Ghz 3GByte RAM, which is 32Bit only. He is like 80 years old and doesn't want to buy a new computer and his old rig does everything he wants. Ubuntu simply doesn't support it anymore. Supporting old computers is something Linux does outstanding (Windows 11 dropping two year old systems is fucking sick)

Don't try to derail the discussion. Toothbrush argued that the Holdomor never happened while the whole world knows somewhere between three and five million Ukrainians died during this part of Stalins reign. We never even discussed if it was a genocide.

So show your true intentions and explain to me:

1. Did Millions die during the Holdomor?
2. Did it happen because Stalin stole the food?
3. Did Stalin and Putin forbid to talk about it?

And as a nice excursus, the total numbers of people dying to Stalins misrule is nearly the same as those who died to the Axis Invasion. A nice chap, old Stalin, isn't he? But calm down, he is only number two after Mao in murdering his own people. And that is what Putin is aiming for, recreation of Stalinism.

-Holodomor after the Soviet archives opened: The Holodomor was a man-made famine that occurred in Soviet Ukraine in 1932-1933. While the Soviet government initially denied the existence of the famine, evidence of the Holodomor has emerged from various sources, including Soviet archives. The opening of these archives has allowed researchers to further study and document the tragedy. You are basically claiming the Soviets and Putin themselves are lying. And you know what happens to people who say Putin lies.

-Debunking of the Holodomor: The Holodomor has been widely recognized as a tragic event in which millions of Ukrainians died due to forced collectivization and deliberate policies by the Soviet government. While there have been attempts to downplay or deny the extent of the famine in the past, the overwhelming consensus among scholars and researchers is that the Holodomor was a real and devastating event.

-Ukrainian collaboration with the Holocaust: It is true that there were instances of collaboration by some individuals and groups in Ukraine during World War II. However, it is important to note that these collaborations were not representative of the entire Ukrainian population. Many Ukrainians were victims of the Holocaust themselves, and others actively resisted the Nazi regime.

-William Randolph Hearst and Nazi collaboration: There have been allegations and claims suggesting that William Randolph Hearst collaborated with the Nazis. While Hearst's media empire did have a complicated relationship with Nazi Germany, it is important to approach such claims with critical analysis and rely on credible historical sources to understand the nuances and facts surrounding this topic. Basically your argument is "because a Nazi sympathisant wrote the Soviets were blood drinking madmen they were actually nice guys".

It's important to approach historical topics with an open mind and rely on reputable sources, including academic research and scholarly consensus. While historians may have different interpretations and perspectives, the field of history relies on evidence-based analysis and rigorous research methodologies to uncover the truth to the best of our knowledge.

Sources Holodomor after the Soviet archives opened: "Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine" by Anne Applebaum "The Holodomor Reader: A Sourcebook on the Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine" edited by Bohdan Klid and Alexander J. Motyl "The Holodomor: An Introduction" by Bohdan Klid and Alexander J. Motyl "The Holodomor and the Film 'Bitter Harvest': Soviet and Post-Soviet Memory in Ukraine" by Serhy Yekelchyk "The Ukrainian Famine: Sources of Information at the Hoover Institution" by Robert Conquest

ChatGPT is awaiting your next hate speech eagerly.

Ah, the beauty of repeating the same stupid claim to make it appear more true.

While I appreciate your enthusiasm for alternative viewpoints, it's worth noting that mainstream academic consensus is typically based on extensive research, rigorous analysis, and a wealth of evidence. If you're inclined to embrace Nazi propaganda as a historical truth, you might find yourself in the rather exclusive company of conspiracy theorists. But hey, who needs consensus when you can have a party of one?

Well, I must say, your unique perspective certainly adds a touch of humor to the conversation! Your ability to find amusement in the unlikeliest of places is truly admirable. Keep those witty remarks coming, and you might just give the comedians a run for their money!

Suuure... Stalin was an agent of the West, send to kill Russians. Just like Dschingis Khan and Mohammed. All Agents of the West.

Thank you for making me aware of everything.

2015: Share your Netflix between four people, everyone pays $4 per month, have access to 80% of all online content. The interface is shit but you keep up with it because it is cheap.

2023: You pay $20 for Netflix, pay $15 for Disney, pay $15 for Hulu, pay $10 for Amazon Prime, $15 for Discovery, $15 for Paramount, $15 for Youtube, have access to 50% of all online content. The interface is still shit and you wonder why you pay for that shit.

Joe Average: 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ and the interface is easier than ever.

My 2013 Highest-End Smart-TV barely works with Youtube and no longer with anything else. But Burning Series still works marvellous. Another thing: "Consuming" pirated content is not "illegal" in Germany. It is a violation of private property which the rights owner can sue in a civil court. But as long as you don't use P2P services where you also upload - which would indeed be a fellony - he can not detect what you do and can not take any action against you - so One-Click-Hosters and Warez-Streaming is totally safe. And if the rights owner could find out about you he could at most send you a cease-and-desist-order with a one-time-fee of at max $100 because it is a minor incident. As far as I know there was never a user of Warez-Streaming who paid anything.

The only bad thing: DNS is nowadays filtered at the big Telcos and Providers which means I have to change the DNS inside my Routers to Cloudflare and Google. Which are a lot faster anyway.

Classic communist tactics, Tovarishch, and if it fails you just didn't believe hard enough...

In what way is the Late Victorian Age "Pro-Western"? In the same way Dschengis Khan was "Pro-Western"? Besides, ONE book is quite vague for such an assumption as your claim isn't even listed in the list of great famines.

Oh, and you claim the Holodomor didn't happen? Well, let me guess, Stalin also didn't got 30 million sowiet people killed?

Tovarishch, your lies gave away whose bread you eat.

Well, actually I am sharing "Wikipedia Propaganda" but if you want to call Wikipedia Nazi-Propaganda...

And yes, the only pro-Western nation ever falling into a serious Food-Crisis was... Haiti.

See, I know we are doing something right. I am not sure what we do right and there is enough things we don't do right but... the right things we do amazingly right. If that is because the Ghosts of Hitler are possessing us all or that we are just not a bunch of utter idiots - you call.

Because it worked to well in Zimbabwe, Sowjetunion 1, Sowjetunion 2, China, and many more

Here a nice example what happenes when you give the means of production to "the people":

That is just hilarious but also...

I just remembered that Bram Moolenaar, the author of vim has recently died...

He was a real good person. Back when he released his first vim for Amiga Computers I exchanged some emails with him and he handled even my less smart suggestions very professional.

I just take the chance to remind everyone to spend some money for his Uganda Charity.

Uh, yes, Youtube trying to Anti-Adblock... pops up once or twice a year, then I click on "Update uBlock" and be done with it...

Well, the players were often dirt cheap. I got at least four for free on trade shows. Including an Ultra-Rare "Sun Microsystems" MP3 player, handed over to me by the founder of Star-Office which later became Open Office and Libre Office. Back when Sun was not totally uncool.
