TCP was never designed with wifi in mind. TCP retransmission was only ever meant to handle drops due to congestion, not lossy links.

Tmux is a wonderful complement to mosh. Together you get persistence even when your local client loses power (speaking from experience)

I worked with mosh for years to connect to servers on other continents. It was impossible to work otherwise. It only has two small warts: forwarding, and jump hosts.

The second is fixable/ish with an overlay network, but that isn't always an option if you don't control the network. I tried to solve this with socat but wasn't able to configure it correctly - something about the socket reuse flag was very unhappy.

Normally I'd agree with you that Daily Mail is not to be trusted, but the meetings absolutely happened:

Hamas officials join Nelson Mandela’s family at ceremony marking 10th anniversary of his death - AP

The novel information being presented in this article is exactly who was part of that delegation (and potential inclusion of PFLP representatives in that delegation)

I'm a little confused - you mean to say Palestinians in the West Bank should attack more?

Hamas and PIJ deliberately targeted civilians and committed atrocities. There is no part of those actions that can even remotely be colored as legitimate. It was attempted genocide as the intent was the destruction of all Israelis living near the border and sparking a war to end the existence of Israel.

Yes - a pile of something in the middle of the road.

The youths said it was a pile of cardboard and paper to help keep them warm. Admittedly, it was around 10°C (50°F) over the last few nights at 2am.

Israeli strikes in Lebanon are against Hezbollah fighters who are launching ATGM, mortars, or other munitions into Israel. This particular incident is exceptional in two ways:

1. This is a relatively senior ranking member who was killed (number 3 in the Radwan Force)
2. This appears to have been an attack of opportunity rather than a retaliatory strike

Reuters did a shit job on background context here. It took me 20 minutes half paying attention to a meeting that should have been an email to dig this up:

• Hezbollah has launched 565 coordinated attacks (usually barrages against multiple targets along the border) on Israeli territory resulting in 4 civilian and 12 military fatalities and many more injured.
• Due to the ongoing attacks, over 80,000 Israelis are internally displaced, and all the villages within 4km of the border have been evacuated.
• Hezbollah were required to demilitarize and disarm as a consequence of binding UN Security Council resolution 1701 from 2006.
• The Radwan force are a group within Hezbollah whose mission is to infiltrate into Israel and commit massacres against civilians.
• Hezbollah is a terrorist organization designated as such by the US, UK, Canada, EU, and many other countries.

Sounds like Mustafa Thuria was the driver, Hamza Wael Dahdouh was in the passenger seat, and Hazem Rajab, Amer Abu Amr, and Ahmed al-Bursh were in the back seat (all three of those survived).

AFP says they were filming a house that was damaged by combat, so my guess is they were using a drone to gather footage that is close enough to the drones used by Hamas that the IDF considered it a threat to troops operating nearby.

I'm still seeing the old URL - probably a federation issue (assuming you're doing it from lemmy.ca and not lemmy.world?)

The original source of this is this tweet, which is a bit more clear than the Al Jazeera article: the WHO doesn't know where the patients and doctors who evacuated are. Notably, this includes the teams from MSF, MAP, and IRC who have evacuated from that area.

I'd like to propose an addition to rule 1: no linking liveblogs that don't permalink (Al Jazeera, CNN, probably others). It's impossible to discuss an article that has been pushed three or four screens below the fold by other articles.

Al Jazeera's live blog doesn't do permalinking - meaning it's impossible to link directly to the contents of the article. It makes it very difficult to discuss any story on its merits.

Thanks to @girlfreddy@lemmy.ca for updating the link to the actual article.

Alan Dershowitz isn't representing Israel. Malcolm Shaw is.

... Israel's getting annihilated, and that within 1 decade of the beginning of their retaliation against Palestinians for Hamas's strike.

Got something planned there bud? Or just wishful thinking?

Probably the same thing they did last time Jordan airdropped supplies: be honest and coordinate.

Notably, Reuters got an official "no comment" from Israel for this round of aid. Which probably means yes, but we don't want to have it on record.

On the one hand it's a factual article about events that are clearly true. On the other it's sensationalized and making a mountain out of a molehill.

The quality of the discussion on this article is bottom of the barrel "I hate Israel and you should too".

I was being sarcastic. Many journals don't provide any of those services. Some journals even charge researchers for the "prestige" of publishing a paper. Peer review is mostly unpaid work, and some reviewers act as gatekeepers.

But surely the journals provide some sort of service for the researchers, right? Like paying for experts to review their scientific claims, or fact checking their citations, or even basic grammatical proofreading, right? If the journals are earning so much from research, then conducting academic research must be a lucrative field with so many publishers competing to be the first ones to publish a paper.

First turned on in 2010.

Git-svn was always the blessed path for converting. GitHub supporting svn was more about getting heterogeneous orgs to buy enterprise subscriptions.

Honestly - if it's a specific article, then just email the author. Unless they're a blowhard they'll usually be happy to shoot off a copy of the final PDF or at least a preprint. Doubly so if you're a grad student and say how excited you are about their research.

I forgot about that one, thank you!
