Even German media is now reporting that “Ukraine is currently losing ground faster than ever – except for the first few weeks of the war.”

Of course there’s also cope about how many soldiers Russia is losing and how they’re going to run out of armored vehicles.
I’m on the 2nd chapter (?) of farewell, so right behind you (i.e. probably 5000 more deaths and 5 hours).
“Friedenspreis” aka peace price of the German book sellers actually.
Did he acknowledge the creators of that track which would be (British) Sea Power? Because dick move if he didn’t.
Hey thanks :)
Ffmpeg is used by everybody so you’d hope people are looking at it, but I’m sure there’s security bugs in there, and probably plenty of them, since it’s C parser/decoder code, probably the most dangerous kind of code. I think web browsers do some kind of sandboxing around ffmpeg, plus web browser restrict the kinds of formats they support, but ffmpeg (and peertube?) supports a lot more, many of which will not be audited/fuzzed to the same degree.
Ideally this would be sandboxed so much it can’t call anything but read(2) and write(2). I have no idea if any of this software does any sandboxing at all.
Is this any more dangerous than BitTorrenting anime?
Maybe, depends on the what exactly you’re worried about. There’s potentially political actors that might be interested in fucking with tankie.tube, whereas you can’t really target anyone specifically with bittorrent. Also the attacker knows exactly what software will be used to decode the videos, which makes this easier to exploit. I assume that videos can get uploaded to tankie.tube by basically anybody, and those videos would be sent out to be transcoded on random people’s machines?
If you assume tankie.tube (maybe peertube in general) is just too small to be on anyone’s radar, then that’s probably fine.

Video decoders are all written in C and almost certainly full of exploitable bugs, thus people participating in this are making their personal computers vulnerable to attack via manipulated video files. You’d at least want this sandboxed as much as possible, and have it run as it’s own user.
I’ve been replaying Celeste because last time I stopped in frustration at 5b. Now I’m on 7c and oh boy the last screen is something else. I’ve been stuck for two hours already.
School is deliberately set up to produce good and bad students. The working class is subdivided into higher-paying higher-status workers, precarious low-wage workers and the unemployed, and schools are tasked with reproducing and justifying these divisions. Pretty sure this can’t be done without some pretty fucked up abusive bullying, and so here we are, most are more or less traumatized by school.
Did he claim that though, I remember them campaigning on eat shit peasants.
Austria has 23 of them.
Die Zeit found the perfect framing device in a young man the reporter just happened upon in front of the bomb crater south of Beirut, and apparently follows him around all night. He’s perfect for the story. Too perfect.
He’s looking for his family from one of the nearby damaged buildings (no worries happy ending). His father is Hezbollah, he’s Hezbollah technically, but doesn’t want to become a fighter against his father’s wishes. They had a fight and he’s the black sheep of the family now. He works at a hair salon and rather likes beautiful hair, no, beauty itself! He blames Hezbollah for this. He says there were of course weapons at the Hezbollah HQ next to his home. He thinks Israel is just too powerful; can’t be beaten. He just wants to live in a real country with a proper army and a president.
This conversation with a young man who lives and grew up in the heart of the Hezbollah movement, who, as he says, is of course a member, like everyone in this neighborhood, but is not convinced, who criticizes Hezbollah so bluntly amidst a crowd of irritated Hezbollah guards, is completely improbable - and perhaps only possible for this reason. Nobody pays attention to us anymore.
OK now they’re just fucking with me, right?
Youth org of Green Party Germany: The complete leadership council (10 people) quit job and party.
Link to the resignation letter (CW: reddit)
They say they have been in opposition to the party leadership/majority on various issues, like the 100 bn “special fund” for the Bundeswehr, that new brown coal mine, and when they took away the rights of asylum seekers.
Seems like they’re planning on creating a new radlib organization.
I have never heard them talk about wanting to overcome capitalism, not even through reform, and they don’t call themselves socialists. They don’t even call themselves social democrats but rather “left-conservatives”, whatever that is supposed to mean.
I mean all socdems are nationalist and BSW isn’t socialist, but I guess patsocs aren’t socialist either so that checks out.
Vinegar is nice to cut through fatty foods. But why mix the vinegar like 1:10 with oil, that kinda defeats the purpose?
Though I’m biased, I’m from the mayo-hating part of Germany, which is less based than it sounds.
Brandenburg (the state surrounding Berlin, but w/o Berlin) voted. Somehow the SPD (“socdem” i.e. neolib) gained seats and is slightly ahead of the far-right AfD. Greens and Left look to be below 5% and out. BSW (Wagenknecht; new socdem nationalist/bigot (aka socdem) splitters from The Left) get 13%. CDU (conservatives) at 12%.
By current estimates, it’s just enough for an SPD-BSW coalition, and not enough for SPD-CDU or AfD-CDU. This likely means we can all observe how the BSW is going to behave in coalition talks and government and that will be interesting/disappointing.
That’s a lot. I can’t remember a time flooding in Europe had this large of a death toll.
