Hezbollah sources claim that they have killed or wounded over 200 Israeli soldiers in the past 48 hours


There are no confirmations possible but the moral of Israeli soldiers in occupied Lebanon is pretty low and they keep falling for Hezbollah traps.

Hezb also claims they have damaged or destroyed 30 Markva tanks and many more armored vehicles since the start of the invasion.

I understand the dislike for e-mail based patch workflows. I have a soft spot for sending my changes with git send-email but I don’t think its a good code review or change management process.

But mailing lists… I don’t really understand the dislike people have for mailing lists. Some of the best technical collaboration I’ve ever done has been via mailing lists. Most of them you don’t even have to be a subscriber to start conversations on; they’ll accept e-mails from anyone. And, unlike with forums, the replies come back to my e-mail inbox, which means its harder to forget about posts I’ve made.

Of course there is something to be said about how e-mail tooling can be obnoxiously minimalist, arcane, or just a thing that people don’t have setup any more in the same way as they did in the past.

Its deeply upsetting that the specification for mailto:address?in-reply-to=message_id is 26 years old and yet barely any software supports it besides Thunderbird :-(

And the alternative option is downloading an e-mail message file (.eml), opening it, and replying to that; but how many people even have desktop e-mail clients setup any more?



I admit I didn’t expect home video to have a robust micro-services architecture, but there it is. In my case:

  • Plex client for viewing (available on web, desktop, and mobile)
  • Plex server for streaming and analyzing (commercial detection/removal, credit/intro detection)
  • Radarr/Sonarr for library management
  • Prowlarr for meta-search services
  • SABnzbd for usenet downloads
  • qBittorrent for Bittorrent downloads
  • Overseerr for user discovery of content and request management

It’s astounding to go on to Overseerr, find some stuff, click a button, and a few minutes later watch it. In true micro services fashion, most of the pieces are inter-changeable with other tools if you so prefer.

I'll have to check out some of these. I haven't really gotten into audiobooks, but think about it sometimes when on my hour-long commute.

It is since I criticized only non-constructive criticizing and not critizing in general
in reply to VintageGenious

I disagree. "It's ugly" is valid criticism. It has the same value as "needs better/more appealing graphics". You're just annoyed it wasn't sugar coded. In fact I'd argue the former is more valuable than the latter because it doesn't beat around the bush and more importantly it points to a problem rather than the solution.

As a designer I find that most often customers don't hit the mark by trying to design the thing themselves, telling me exactly what they want, essentially trying to do my job for me. Hearing the customer's problems with it to figure out a solution on my own as a designer is better a vast majority of the time.

"I don't like it" is bad. "I think it looks awful" is better. "I hate the colors" is best. I don't really care about wording, I care about the information I get.

Wow! Here is Republican Sarah Longwell with a message for fellow Republicans like Mitt Romney still sitting on the fence even in light of Trump's threats to kill Liz Cheney:

The Forest and the Trees: Ukraine's Strategic Dissipation


#geopolitics #Ukraine #war

The dissipation of energy into tactical, technical, and industrial minutia threatens to separate the state from a coherent theory of victory.

The patriotism inherent in defense of hearth and home initially gave them advantage. Now that this fades as time passes, and the Russians become more competent ... the future does not look so good.
in reply to Emmanuel Florac

@tomgrzybow@societas.online the NYTimes titled yesterday taht the future "looks grim". Two days ago, The Economist titled "Ukraine is losing". That definitely smells of the end right after Nov. 5th...
