I'd say comparing caddy to nginx is like comparing bicycle to a diesel locomotive. Technically they are doing same thing. One is easy to deal with the other one is designed to do things at scale.

I am not a crypto nerd but in my childish mind I imagine that if a policeman wants to unlock my phone I'll just tell hin the "duress pin" and let him wipe the device himself ... (GrapheneOS)

There were times when Israel was at least trying to be ambiguous about their possession of nuclear weapons. The famous

“not to be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the area.”

Now we get junior ministers, half of the media and all the facebook discussing who should be nuked first. Mordechai Vanunu spent 2 decades in prison because of this crap.

Now imagine these things driving around your city in the form of "cybercab".

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to transition official government communications away from Twitter/X to more secure, community-regulated platforms that prioritise public safety, accurate information, and accessibility. We encourage the government to explore publicly accountable alternatives, including decentralised networks, to ensure reliable and responsible communication with Canadians.

Not a ban really (not in US banning tiktok sense), better.

...so they have a problem with female or black but not withgay or bisexual 🤔 Feels a bit random. edit: of course - the list isn't complete 🤦‍♂️

None of those actually mention the vote in Ukrainian parliament, that is where the "unanimously" comes from 😇 I've looked through several sources and AJ English had it summarized the best 🤷‍♂️

off topic: not sure what are your reservations about AJ - soft power vehicle for Qatari gov?

This is really annoying for me 😇 . I am not one who would believe words of the Elon and I would say that intuitively it didn't make financial sense but I've looked into it and to my surprise the numbers are actually getting kinda close:

• they claim they have 4 million customers - at 100 USD per customer / month x 12 - 4.8 billion USD. There will be some tax, but they have also deals with US military (StarShield) or GSM Operator and wide range of "enterprise services" , so I suspect the income could be at around those 5 billion USD from starlink alone.
• they did 90 launches last year maintaining and expanding the network. It's hard to say how much a falcon 9 launch cost - but CNBC says it was sold for 67 million USD in 2022. Not sure how much margin Elon gets on a single launch, but 5 billion / 90 is over 55 million USD - which is right there in the area..

Now this is ignoring the cost of the satellites, the maintenance of 150 ground stations, development of the HW /SW, advertising and god knows what else - but still at least in the "ballpark numbers".

To my unpleasant surprise - the Elon might not be joking on this one 🧐 - the Starlink might be one day paying for the development of the Starship - if it isn't already 😲 Also - this is bloody cool 🤬

I've asked ChatGPT and it told me that "men tend to wash their jeans every 4-10 wears" . OP got me scared there for a moment 😅
