What the article didn't say: The budget will increase the deficit and national debt. IKR?!

Israel's current government are criminals and authoritarians who have been recently given cover and free reign by the US's criminal authoritarians. It's no surprise that they support each other to strengthen their strangleholds over their respective flawed democracies.

Mobsters carving up the world. They don't care who they harm along the way (including their own citizens), so long as they maintain or increase political power, which enrichens them and keeps them out of prison.

About €2400 per capita, which isn't so much when spread out over several years, especially if it prevents another war in Germany and the wider Europe.

The last war Germany was actively involved in was Afghanistan, after the USA invoked Article 5, and it's a bitter pill that the USA has now become the second greatest security threat to the EU and its allies, after that terrorist state known as the russian federation.

I know some will disagree and point fingers at immigrants... and I'd like to remind you that most of the dangerous immigrants (which are a minority, but can be hard to differentiate) are here because of global conflicts that russia and the USA mostly made worse.

Go go fortress Europe!

Are you suggesting that the proud boys' circle jerking is just an inadvertent perk of an otherwise sinister masterplan?! How dastardly!

Every time I hear the name "proud boys", I expect them to arrive on a giant penis float as part of a parade. I bet the name was suggested to them as a joke that they failed to get.

He might soon need to contribute US taxpayer dollars to send weapons and ammunition to russia ... but don't worry, these ones will be good for the US economy.

Be careful of dualstack and IPv4-only VPNs. The client can discover and advertise the real IPv6 address, even if adequately firewalled. I'm not sure if gluetun addresses this risk.

edit: this should be considered a risk even if you don't have IPv6 support today, as this could be enabled by your ISP in the future, then automatically enabled on your network by your router.

Only an image? Sigh.

Hah. I was just playing a YT video of modem sounds for my son, after showing him some "history" videos about early PCs, BBS's, text adventure and early commodore* and PC gaming.

History? I lived it, son.

Grey-stubble Gen-X'er here... The 80s and (moreso for me) 90s were a great time to get into tech. Amiga, DOS, Win3.11, OS/2, Linux.. BBS's and the start of the Internet, accompanied by special interest groups and regular in-person social events.

Everyone was learning at the same time, and the complexity arrived in consumable chunks.

Nowadays, details are hidden behind touchscreens and custom UXs, and the complexity must seem insurmountable to many. I guess courses have more value now.
