Usually the burden of proof is on accuser's side regardless of how you feel about the accused. Also Ukraine, specially at the beginning, made many not-that-true claims. It's war, they will lie if that suits them. And you're right, Chine is also often denying the obvious.

China is huge, it'd be hard to control everybody. But who knows, China is also really into controlling people. Either way, some evidence would be great.

They are probably not soldiers, but rather mercenaries. I doubt China would deploy official forces like NK did.

Yeah, China has been investing heavily into facade and public perception for a while now. I'd love to see Ukraine coming up with some proof, but if they don't, it will cast a bad light on them. That said mercenaries from all world are fighting on both sides, it'd be odd that there where no Chinese.

Of course you can't just bomb Russia. I'm merely saying that the Orange has further incentives.

Why not involve Israel in denuclearization with Dave treatment as well? I mean if they had nukes...

And Putin is a great person and Orange's friend according to Orange.

Well, he was responding to my criticism of EU indirectly hence my question which he can't answer for some reason - rather he is not saying anything, not sure why the reply.

Sure and how did it go when Orange flatly rejected it? I'm sure Orange will now think twice before slapping more tariffs?

Eventually the chargers will be using USB-C, hopefully. But seriously, we need a standardized charging, don't we?

Whole world, including island with only penguins, should join China on this.

 

I'm going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.

There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):

  1. How do you reinstall your apps? I'm considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
  2. How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won't do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I'm considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.

Any other recommendations?

 

Did anybody manage to drive three 4K@60 displays with just the iGPU of a 9900X or forthcoming X3D? The displays should be all DP or HDMI, but not a mix, so a KVM switch can be used. From what I see, mobos have at best two USB4 ports that each could drive 2 DP displays. In theory, that is. While CPU should be able to drive three such displays. I'm not into gaming or such, just need displays for development and want to avoid unnecessary discrete GPU and it's power draw if possible.

I'm looking for a front light "for being seen" that can be mounted under K-Edge mount - GoPro adapter. Not looking for something heavier that illuminates the road ahead (thought I might in future). It has to e rechargeable, USB-C preferably and available in EU. Any suggestions? TIA

 

Well written thoughts on C#12 primary constructors. Sadly they are not really useful. At least for now.

 

I was always wondering this. Imagine a steep descent. What is better for brake wear - braking constantly or more powerful just at the end? Anybody knows? Goes for both rim and disc brakes

 

I'm considering Fiido Titan as e-bike for shopping and short distance commuting. It's hilly where I need it. Any thoughts on bike quality or anything else? From a review on YouTube it seems decent enough. TIA

 

Hopeful Jonas recovered after all the injuries, but I somehow doubt it that he'll be at 100% after those injuries without much time to recover. While I'm rooting for PogRog, I fear a repeat of Giro, where Pog dominated and made it boring to watch. Or perhaps Remco will kick in, but then again he was also injured and didn't do well at Dauphine. What's you take?

 

Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.
