That was a day. A few hours, at least

Bloody hell is more of a surprise thing, tbh

I think we agree.
The intel trump used to order the strikes was wrong... The intel was wrong.
Presuming the buck stops with the president of course.

I doubt he actually cared enough about any briefing material. He probably went in with the mentality of "Iran is developing nukes, and should be stopped" then asked for intel according to that presumption.

I think trump would immediately throw a company under the bus for their "weak loser bombs" if they didn't perform as designed.
I think trump would immediately "you're fired" a general for spec-ing the wrong bombs.

I think the intel was wrong

Windows 11 and OSX are so outdated

Yeh it is.
Proving that a scientific theory is wrong means we don't understand enough about the thing. And we know we need to look at other theories about the thing.
Proving things wrong as well as failed hypothesis is as important (even if it is disappointing) as proving things correct and successful hypothesis. It rules the theory out, and guides further scientific study.
With published papers, other scientists can hopefully see what the publishing scientists missed.
Scientists can also repeat experiments of successful papers to confirm the papers conclusion, and perhaps even make further observations that can support further studies.

You wouldn't believe it!

He is. But the people around him and controlling/handling him aren't idiots.
It's either in project 2025, or some other republican playbook. Scattershot out a bunch of crazy news to swamp the news cycle and overwhelm everyone, then get to work doing the dirty stuff

It's part of the strategy.
Overwhelm the news cycle, see what the news picks up and push that more, let the actual bad stuff go under-reported.

Unless your home internet is CG-NAT, both have a publicly accessible IP address, so both will be scanned

Who is externally reaching these servers?
Joe public? Or just you and people you trust?

If it's Joe public, I wouldn't have the entry point on my home network (I might VPS tunnel, or just VPS host it).

If it's just me and people I trust, I would use VPN for access, as opposed to exposing all these services publicly

I remember when the first looks at (or poster of) the sonic movie came out, and it was ripped to shreds.
A prominent visual redesign of sonic went viral, and - credit where credits due - the studio reworked the movie to adopt the changes.

Human teeth? I mean, really?

Yeh, but (to me) a hotspot is WiFi with internet access from a mobile device. Whereas tethering is sharing internet access from a mobile device via a cable (USB).
Kinda like how WiFi doesn't mean internet access, despite so many people conflating the meanings.

Computer/laptops WiFi card is dead. Can't connect to an android hotspot if your WiFi isn't working.
Thus, usb tethering. It's a wire, doesn't need a WiFi card. And the android device can then share ITS WiFi/Data connection through the USB cable

Nothing better than a properly formatted data file.
Self hosting teaches you this

Your threat assessment is way off.
So, you import a phone. What sim do you use? Where do you use it? When do you use it? Who do you contact with it?
All of that is more valuable and easier to get for the police than some sort of modification of firmware or platform as it passes through customs.
If in doubt, flash your own firmware.

If this is actually a threat assessment to you, asking on Lemmy is the wrong place. You need people with the same experience that an entire country has at their disposal.

If it's a concern as opposed to an actual threat, buy some 2nd hand phones from random places and buy some prepaid sims (ideally via smurfs or black market means). And be aware of how you use them

The commands you used to start the docker containers, or the docker compose contents.
That's what dictates how much "power" a docker container has

The whole "well, it's already broken: what's the worst I can do?" is such a liberating position to be in.
