Well, I guess the EU is 26/27th decent.
However, the EU is working towards defunding (I guess pushing-to-change, aka punishing) shitty members.

So yeh, the EU isn't perfect. It's working on it, and it is making progress.
Nice when an oversight body isn't corrupted

"Book from a whistleblower - titled 'Meta' - that was declined from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon"

Sometimes I hate the whole "proper prose title" that articles use

Edit:
Perhaps it's "Book from whistleblower that Meta blocked from being promoted is now a best seller on Amazon".
I didn't read the article. The title broke my brain

accessed from the internet

Accessed only by you and close family/friends who you are also hosting services for?
Or accessed by anyone?

"Accessed by anyone" carries more risk.

"Accessed by users you host for", the risks can be eliminated (well, other than risks from those users) by using a VPN. As in, only the people authorised to be on the VPN can access the services.
Wireguard is the go-to these days.
Tailscale is much easier and free for 3 users and 100 nodes.

If it absolutely has to be "accessed by anyone" I would look into a "reverse proxy over VPN/tunnel" or just straight tunnel style approach like chisel (or crowbar, or corkscrew), rathole, frp, or cloudflare tunnels.

Basically, don't point a domain at your home public IP and don't forward ports on your home router/firewall

As someone that works in events, getting files named "such and such_edit_updated_final_v2_fixed" is always funny

Your mistake was referencing a woketionary.

As an augmentation, the ability to spot and track objects visually would be amazing.
But then planes just have to fly above 10k ft, and pretty much guaranteed cloud cover.

Echolocation is specifically audio based.
Lidar is a similar technique, but much more accurate and precise.
Project a grid of laser beam, read when the laser bounces back, you know the distance to that part of the grid.

Killing Donny wouldn't change much, tho.
America has shown it wants Donald or a Donald substitute.

Project 2025 is now Americas playbook.

Other countries changing military suppliers isn't going to change back to america for 10-15 years (hell, maybe even longer, I dunno what the service life of a jet platform is).
The risk that has surfaced of "America has an off switch" - even just the potential risk of rumors of an off switch - means all those military assets are useless when America elects unhinged leaders that are willing to subvert democratic process in order to run their playbook.
And America has shown it is willing to do that. Even prefers to do that
