post-elon twitter is bad, but both fb and yt overtakes it vastly by having much larger user base

strategy as old as the day when some corporate ghoul clocked that more engagement = more ad time. facebook is probably the worst offender with youtube being a close second

airstrips longer than 1600m (iirc) were at some point designated as strategic targets by soviets, so you assumed correctly

turns out that flat strips of concrete firmly attached to ground are pretty hard to damage

if you’re gonna die in nuclear strike, it’ll be most likely because a building you’re in collapses. unless you’re very close to a target that might get a ground burst or small nuke, like airport, large transit node like cargo railroad terminal, high level military command hq or such, you shouldn’t worry too hard about radiation either. in any other case, if you’re within fatal radiation dose range, then you’re also deep within overpressure-that-will-collapse-any-building range and instant-third-degree-burn-and-beyond range. at smaller yields you’ll see fireball range greater than fatal radiation range. play around with https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/ to get the idea

if you’re outside, you’ll get thermal burns and might be thrown around but as long as nothing falls on you, and ignoring burns, you should be mostly fine. there won’t be utilities, no power, no water, no communications, so you better have some batteries. if you have shelter, then if you have water and food to weather it out, and if you’re upwind of groundbursts if any, then you’ll probably survive

there’s 4265 torrents right now with 1000 pdfs per torrent. 120TB ish as of three years ago

you don’t know where’s what, because torrents are packaged by submission date and not by topic

you can download entire libgen archive if you are so inclined, there’s even torrents list https://libgen.rs/repository_torrent/

apparently this happens https://www.reddit.com/r/Soulseek/comments/cs9j02/users_who_charge_to_access_their_files/

i think that it’s mostly because they don’t want somebody with 0 shared files to download - and i sorta understand that, would be lot cooler if people weren’t leeches only, sure, but i can’t be bothered to check or enforce. if you have something shared and message them they’ll usually allow to download

Preferences -> Searches -> toggle Show privately shared files in search results

you can hide private files in search results, at least in nicotine

yeah but mostly in crimea from what i’ve heard

This is new and could point to gaps in russian air defence

Ukrainians have developed their own JDAM-ER analogue, AASM is also a possibility. Belgorod is close enough to border to be in range

i’ve seen this on lw accounts, unless you can pull it out if you own community somehow

i’ve noticed that LW replaces what i assume are some slurs in comments with removed it’s automated, there’s no indication that content was edited, nobody announced that, nothing appears in modlog so it must be done in db directly

that and they also prohibit use of vpns and tor

they also took suspiciously long to defederate exploding heads, compared to some leftist instance that i don’t remember now but that instance wasn’t an issue

admins banned a community, not one but three. this one, piracy at .ml and another one at db0. it’s likely that lw admins defederated from entire instance too

e: i think it happened in the past but now db0 is federated with lw

Scranton is General Dynamics stuff
