To me, this just means there's no evil great enough that our politicians could commit that would make you start questioning the validity of our government and electoral process. This is the liberal idealism that leftists talk about.

Is this accurate? Is there any evil great enough that would compel you to start considering tearing it all down?

Let's say in 10 years, the choice is between a dem who wants 20 genocides and a republican who wants 21: will you still be a militant democrat?

I suppose for people in the office, it means everyone else has fucked off and the week is basically a wash.

This game was sort of before my time. Got to experience 2 on a beefy gaming PC, so I'm hyped for the zombie mode.

As I was playing 2, I was constantly thinking to myself: "this would be a prime game to mod some zombies into". Was surprised to hear they'd already done it in 1.

Hopefully they ported it well.

It is widely believed that while the Soviet Union may have produced these benefits, in the end, Soviet public ownership and planning proved to be unworkable. Otherwise, how to account for the country’s demise? Yet, when the Soviet economy was publicly owned and planned, from 1928 to 1989, it reliably expanded from year to year, except during the war years. To be clear, while capitalist economies plunged into a major depression and reliably lapsed into recessions every few years, the Soviet economy just as unfailingly did not, expanding unremittingly and always providing jobs for all

Couldn't think of a more lemmy thread topic than one involving both Russian geopolitics and linux.

Any sources that aren't The Jerusalem Post - whose source in the article isn't "Israeli Media"? Cannot find any other sources that match this '30 Truck' number.

If you're considering building your own firewall, you've started down a long path of homelabbing. I'd encourage you to start with a proper setup and allow yourself plenty of room to grow. You want your setup to be extensible, and the firewall is just the beginning.

I'd grab at least a 15U rack and a Dell poweredge R210. Throw in a gigabit nic and install OPNsense. You'll have room for your switches, NAS, UPS, etc... later.
