<p>Ridiculous to have no way to configure a router via some normal method, like local web UI or serial/ssh console, or whatnot. Even more ridiculous this app does not satisfy itself with a local wifi/bt link to the router, and needs some "server" with "expiring license" whatever that is. Triple ridiculous this costs more than $50.</p>

<p>No. Fetching pages from remote server will just make the client wait for I/O. That takes 0 CPU load and if the server can't respond at 60fps, lowered redrawing frequency would mean even less CPU load from the terminal redrawing itself.<p>This does not explain 100% CPU load these harnesses sometimes exhibit.</p>

<p>UK started moving its military assets to middle east way before the war, was militarily acting in defense of aggressors and their allies from day one (and also in previous conflicts), and allowed to use its bases for bombing campaigns from the second day of the war, before their base was attacked. (announcement came before the attack, after Starmer got publicly called out by Trump)<p>UK got involved in bombing Iran even when attack on its base on Cyprus came from Lebanon and would have made more sense to attack the source of the attack if the goal was actual self-defense. That is if we accept the decision was in response to the attack itself, and not to pressure and public humiliation  from Trump. Also Turkey also got under missile attack from Iran, and managed to use diplomacy/other means to de-escalate. So not joining the war was a possibility.<p>Instead of self-defence or helping stop the war, UK helped aggressors in making their attacks easier and deepened/prolonged the war that way, at great cost to the world. At a time when de-escalation was still possible, UK chose to contribute to the war on the side of the aggressors. Who knows why. Maybe they believed it would be a quick war or whatever and Iran would collapse quickly just like the countries UK decided to aggress against in the past like Iraq.</p>

<p>React part maybe. The rest is what any TUI that's using ncurses would do. :)<p>It really bothers me that most of the TUI harnesses are using 100% CPU quite a lot just printing stuff to terminal. Seems ridiculous.<p>I guess it comes from syntax highlighting/formatting, which is probably not done incrementally, but over the entire so far displayed block of output, recomputed from the beginning for each new streamed in character. Can't imagine anything else causing the rendering to gradually grind to halt when eg. thinking block is open in opnecode and updates get palpably slow as it grows.<p>Terminal output itself is fast and consumes almost nothing. You can have 60fps terminal apps that update content every frame and that consume almost no CPU time.</p>

<p>Yeah, "striking offensive capability" of a country is aggression and the country that strikes, and it's helpers are all aggressors and in the wrong as far as intl. law goes. You need to work on understanding how causality works. What happened yesterday has no bearing on what happened 2 months ago.<p>If UK/US wanted to be in the in the clear they could have asked UNSC to authorize use of force against Iran.</p>

<p>Helping the aggressor with its offense or defense during the aggressive acts is taking part in the aggression. States have international obligation to not engage in or promote aggression and to not take part in it. UK voluntarily took this obligation on itself.<p>I guess it's debatable whether the drone attack was proportional. I'd say that attack on clearly military installation of active ally is proportionate. Bombing bases in Britain would be more appropriate I think, since that's where the bombers that attacked Iran flew from and were loaded with weapons.</p>

<p>Israel gov./IDF/etc. is known to falsify Hamas documents, force false confessions from UN workers using brutal violence and to regularly lie to justify its actions or shape public opinion. Anything they say about the other side means very little without actual independent investigation/corroboration or direct observable evidence. Independent journalists are allowed to go to Israel, so there's no need to lower the standards.<p>Results of the promissed probe: <a href="https://www.pcpsr.org/en/node/991" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcpsr.org/en/node/991</a><p>Not independent probe, but more information.</p>

<p>I read all these PCPSR polls in detail as they were released. And if you actually read the polls you'd never be able to conclude what you did, for one simple reason. Those polls consistently show vaaaast majority (>90%) of Palestinians from Gaza did not believe Hamas perpetrated attrocities attributed to them by Israelis. There was never a direct qustion about support of killing Jews in those polls either.<p>OTOH, extermination of population of an enemy city was a direct question in that Israeli poll.<p>Also on another note, a poll of a population of Gaza does not represent all Muslims. You can easily say that a long term occupied and terrorized population by Israeli Jews, will not be best representative sample of Muslim views on Israel or Jews, even if that population is very largely Muslim.<p>Conflating views of all Muslims with Muslims from Gaza, lying about the poll and misrepresenting the results to fit your whataboutist views, etc. only shows your total lack of rigor. Nothing else.</p>

<p>Either the person you're telling your opinion about Palestine agrees with you or not. Expressing an opinion about some situation publicly is not hate. And who you're telling your opinion to is irrelevant.<p>You're not telling them to not attack Palestine by shouting "Free Palestine", or anything similar, only that you believe that Palestine should be free, so your comparison is not valid, because it does not contain any hidden assumptions.<p>They might as well agree with you. They can correctly respond by shouting Free Palestine back at you.</p>

<p>They use all kinds of obscure APIs, which you'll learn if you're privacy/security conscious and disable random web APIs that are of no use to YOU as a web user, but only can ever serve the people who serve you stuff or want to hack you or track you.<p>Normally websites feature test and just skip using obscure disabled APIs, or more likely, websites don't use those APIs at all or only tracking scripts use it, which are already optional usually.<p>Problem with CF is that if you want increased security they'll prevent you from gaining it everywhere, even on sites they don't protect, or prevent you from accessing services even the ones you paid for. Browsers don't allow disabling APIs per domain, so you're either at risk everywhere or you're blocked from accessing a lot of things for no particular reason.<p>CF can't be bothered to feature test.</p>

<p>Yes, you risk reputation and still need to be careful. One way to try to mitigate is to write tests. Which is what rsync project is doing, too. But there's only so much you can catch alone.<p>And BTW, you're not distributing to millions of people as an author of the code.<p>There are distributions maintainers between you and the world, which can also intervene, and are responsible for what they distribute, build testing on many configurations/architectures/versions - and can decide to revert to protect users, etc. And often do.<p>FOSS authors themselves can't be expected to keep around outdated systems from 5 years ago just to test build compatibility, in 8 different architectures that someone may want to build their code with.<p>Very few projects have as comprehensive testsuite as say sqlite. You can never cover everyting, so the beauty of FOSS is that someone will come and tell you and send you a fix for their special system, and now everything is again fine for that one special person, or distro maintainer.</p>

<p>Well, there's 1 +claude commit prior Mythos/Glasswing announcement and the rest are after the announcement. Take of it what you will.<p>Anyway, seems blown out of proportion. There are a few issues in the tracker, some  repeated or obscure. Linux 5.10, really? You want to run frankenkernel from 5 years ago with 30 000+ patches never meant or developed against it applied on top? Good luck. Rsync is least of your worries.<p>Linux stable, especially these 5 year old trees are mostly a pacifier for companies that don't want to upstream and maintain their drivers and keep up with evolving internal kernel interface. It's nothing good for users, technically.<p>And I guess if I clone the repo and do a diff against pre-claude and claude assisted state, most of the changes will not be in the actual C code.</p>
