So I have to make it plainer. Those factories are not all in Ukraine. The governments of the countries who host the factories have switched their rhetoric from 2023. Back then it was "oh, we cannot arm Ukraine with weapons with range longer than 100 km, because then according to international law we are complicit in attacking Russia and Russia has a legal right to strike us back". But in 2026 attacks on non-military targets are celebrated by the same governments who are now proud to have contributed to the hits.

Trump himself understands little of everything he does. He cannot be bothered to read simple texts, but he prefers images. His attention span is very short. So he is somewhat like a toddler. But in the end of course he does sign decisions and orders, even though he might have not read them fully. Someone else writes those documents he signs.

Public administration in Europe has already started moving away from the american hyperscalers. This is of course happening at the usual speed which is characteristic of all public administration.

I don't know about the truthness of this claim, but you are definitely getting the upvote for the humour.

Of course, being a German is not relevant, nor does it preclude you from displaying anti-german bias.

I couldn't help but notice that your post also contains bias against German people.

It is tough for Belgium, but I don't expect them to protest too strongly and risk waking up with +10% tariffs on products they export to the USA.

What do you mean "lazy"? I thought you said TLS certs were free. Do you mean they cost something after all? Time, for example?

Anyway, of course in case you feel the website is a risk, you should refrain from using it. Safety comes first.

It has been used successfully as the backend for OpenLDAP and Monero, at least.

Judging from this very release, where he implemented support for page-level checksums and encryption for LMBD, I assume the author knows a thing or two about encryption. He probably then deemed it unnecessary for this specific website.

But what would happen if no bailout came? I did not keep count of how many trillion USD they owe, but if we let OpenAI fail, what would be the consequences for ordinary people?

While I agree that tax money gets wasted by the government, I must note that there exist other countries, explicitly not free market capitalist, where getting ultra reach is not the aim (crazy, eh?) and in the last 40 years they have come a long way in creating prosperity for everyone.

New comment by radiator in "Google Hits 50% IPv6"

radiator — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 13:55:08 +0000

All the projects I have ever worked on, the internal networks always were IPv4. Maybe because it is much simpler for humans to have an overview of the internal subnets in that way. Maybe IPv6 uses numbers that are too large for us.
