I wish I had setup an identity management system sooner. Been self-hosting for years and about a year ago took the full plunge into setting up all my services behind Authentik. Its a game changer not having to deal with all the usernames and passwords.

In a similar vein, before Authentik, I used Vaultwarden to manage all my credentials. That was also a huge game changer with my significant other. Being able to have them setup their own account and then share credentials as an organization is super handy.

Yeah its awful. Ive had the BV situation happen with two different partners. And God forbid, you bring up anything thats considered outside the heterosexual spectrum in an educational setting. Could you imagine if men were taught about the possibilities of the prostate in a judgement free environment?

Thats just how IPv6 works. You get a delegate address from your ISP for your router and then any device within that gets it own unique address. Considering how large the pool is, all address are unique. No NAT means no port forwarding needed!

All children in the state's custody

You see where thats the problem right? Why should kids be in the states custody? Wouldn't it be nice for them to just..... get it?

And don't say we can't. Plenty of other countries do it just fine.

That is the Forest Spirit from the movie Princess Mononoke. Wonderful movie if you haven't seen it! Watches more like a Disney movie than an anime.

Lol naw TOW missile just looks like a gray puff when it blows up. Not as exciting unless the thing you're hitting is full of fuel and ammo. Then the boom is what you think it would look like (fire ball and all that).

Pink mist is for snipers. You're so zoomed in from the scope you can actually see the splat and it looks like a pink mist. You can also achieve the same effect with large caliber weapons like a 25mm cannon. Interestingly enough, the Barrett .50 cal sniper that everyone knows is classified as a SASR, Special Application Scoped Rifle. Its not meant for people, its an "anti-material" weapon. You're only supposed to use it to shoot out engine blocks.

Its not copper either. The meth heads outside the military bases knew to leave TOW wire as recycling places wont take it. I was a TOW gunner and had to reel in miles of that shit when we finished a training range.

Its absolutely a metal of some sort, but it's super strong. If it wrapped around your boot and you yanked to it to get it off, it would cut straight through your boot. Insanely strong but you could still snip it with scissors. Wild shit.

Hurting people is wrong and should be avoided at all costs. Nothing cool about that.

But when a tank is also full of fuel and ammo, the boom is much bigger lol

I got lucky and shot around 15 to 20 for training. I lost track after 10. Some missilemen never get the chance to shoot one.

Interestingly, I had that kill zone question asked to me by another higher up (different job) and it took me a long time to come to a conclusion. The kill radius is actually not defined in the manuals. There are zones for the shooter to ensure you don't get hit with back blast, but usually it's assumed that the vehicle you hit will be destroyed.

Edit:

To explain further, the missile doesn't hit the target. It flys above it and uses the munroe effect to cause an implosion (not an explosion) that makes the vehicle explode from the inside out. First munroe charge punches a hole into the vehicle, second charge gets sucked in and blow it up from inside. YouTube munroe effect to see how that shape charge works.
