And, just to clarify for those who didn't click the link, that's gap in usage. So Russia still shoots twice as many shells than Ukraine, but it's getting closer. Article doesn't mention if that's because Ukraine has more shells available or if Russia shoots less, I'd guess it's because of both.

losing 1380 personnel, but only 1 tank

That's what I've been following too. And additionally, based on quick'n'rough estimation from wikipedia numbers, artillery reserves are pretty much depleted too, so Russia is fighting on what ever soviet era relics they can refurbish and what they can manufacture/buy. I don't think they'll have short of ammunition any time soon, but diminishing numbers of barrels should start to show up on these statistics 'in the near future', whenever that might be.

The threat model seems a bit like fearmongering. Sure, if your container gets breached and attacker can (on some occasions) break out of it, it's a big deal. But how likely that really is? And even if that would happen isn't the data in the containers far more valuable than the base infrastructure under it on almost all cases?

I'm not arguing against SELinux/AppArmor comparison, SElinux can be more secure, assuming it's configured properly, but there's quite a few steps on hardening the system before that. And as others have mentioned, neither of those are really widely adopted and I'd argue that when you design your setup properly from the ground up you really don't need neither, at least unless the breach happens from some obscure 0-day or other bug.

For the majority of data leaks and other breaches that's almost never the reason. If your CRM or ecommerce software has a bug (or misconfiguration or a ton of other options) which allows dumping everyones data out of the database, SElinux wouldn't save you.

Security is hard indeed, but that's a bit odd corner to look at it from, and it doesn't have anything to do with Debian or RHEL.

If I had to guess, I'd say that e1000 cards are pretty well supported on every public distribution/kernel they offer without any extra modules, but I don't have any around to verify it. At least on this ubuntu I don't find any e1000 related firmware package or anything else, so I'd guess it's supported out of the box.

For the ifconfig, if you omit '-a' it doesn't show interfaces that are down, so maybe that's the obvious you're missing? It should show up on NetworkManager (or any other graphical tool, as well as nmcli and other cli alternatives), but as you're going trough the manual route I assume you're not running any. Mii-tool should pick it up too on command line.

And if it's not that simple, there seems to be at least something around the internet if you search for 'NVM cheksum is not valid' and 'e1000e', spesifically related to dell, but I didn't check that path too deep.

Did they damage that target? Disable it? Destroy it?

I haven't seen any public statistics for this, but based on my understanding, if you hit pretty much any modern tank on top hatch or some other weak spot with a javelin it'll at least disable the tank as it pretty much melts everything inside the crew space/engine bay. Those might be repairable, but most likely not in the location.

And what Ukrainians will most likely encounter is not a modern tank, but a T-62 or some even older soviet relic, which doesn't have active armor and those can be stopped with a good throw of molotov cocktail. So, my somewhat uneducated guess would be that every decent hit is a destroyed tank. Of course there's missed shots, less than optimal impacts and all that, so actual number isn't 100%, but I'd guess that it's not far off.

And for tanks there's also a guestion if Ukraine can even find anything to shoot at. On Ukrainian reports destroyed tanks have been in single digits per day for quite a while, so either Russia has learned on how to defend their gear or (in my opinion more likely) they just don't have that many tanks anymore. Obviously across the whole Russia there's a ton of relics around, starting from T-34's from WW1, but I guess no one knows how many of those are in condition where they could even move on their own and even if they did it's guestionable how effective those would be on todays battle field.

But javelins are still pretty neat hardware and they can easily destroy pretty much anything on the field, the only guestion is if Ukraine can get those close enough to hit anything interesting.

Unfortunately they didn't get all of them. Russia has sent a ton of drones and missiles at the last few days, offically targeting energy infrastructure, including a dam near Kyiv.

While that might play a very small part on their strategy I don't think anyone in Ukraine thinks twice before shooting it should the situation really need it. It would make a nice trophy, agreed, but I think the mentality is that if it doesn't burn then nice and even if it does the charred remains are still a trophy and a big PR win via social media.

I don't know how willing they are to give up Crimea and I suppose one of the reasons the war is happening now is that the west closed their eyes when Russia annexed areas from Ukraine. At least on the news Crimea is often described as 'temporarily occupied', so I think at least offically they're targeting 1991 borders.

But yeah, it's solely up to Ukraine, and I believe they'll have very similar support regardless of the border, at least as long as they're not claiming anything beyond 1991 borders from Russia.

I'm not exactly sure what happened between 1991 and 2013 around there, but I'd argue that they should have the original indepencence borders and that's it. But it's not my call by any stretch, Ukraine and their people are the ones who should settle where the border is.

And the global west should support their cause. Sure, it's not particulary easy for anyone right now, but for the majority of the people in EU supporting Ukraine is financially mostly a inconvenience. You might pay a slightly bit more on your bread and butter, but currently no one is coming for you with guns, which is very much a reality in Ukraine right now.

Guy reporting to Putin and Ukrainian chiefs have quite opposite interests to give estimations and I don't know how accurately you can draw lines on the maps, so I'd guess that the russian guy underestimates the area by a lot in a hope that his window doesn't suddenly break with his body and Ukraine likes to give a round number, even if reality is 830km² or whatever (I don't believe that they'd publicly lie about the area to be 3 times bigger than actual, but 20% on those cirumstances is pretty much just a rounding error).

Yep. I'm running 1/1Gbps wan connection over cat5e just fine. Even on very noisy environment at work with a longish run (70+ meters) we ran pretty damn stable 1/1Gbps over good quality cat7.

 

I think that installation was originally 18.04 and I installed it when it was released. A while ago anyways and I've been upgrading it as new versions roll out and with the latest upgrade and snapd software it has become more and more annoying to keep the operating system happy and out of my way so I can do whatever I need to do on the computer.

Snap updates have been annoying and they randomly (and temporarily) broke stuff while some update process was running on background, but as whole reinstallation is a pain in the rear I have just swallowed the annoyance and kept the thing running.

But now today, when I planned that I'd spend the day with paperwork and other "administrative" things I've been pushing off due to life being busy, I booted the computer and primary monitor was dead, secondary has resolution of something like 1024x768, nvidia drivers are absent and usability in general just isn't there.

After couple of swear words I thought that ok, I'll fix this, I'll install all the updates and make the system happy again. But no. That's not going to happen, at least not very easily.

I'm running LUKS encryption and thus I have a separate boot -partition. 700MB of it. I don't remember if installer recommended that or if I just threw some reasonable sounding amount on the installer. No matter where that originally came from, it should be enough (this other ubuntu I'm writing this with has 157MB stored on /boot). I removed older kernels, but still the installer claims that I need at least 480MB (or something like that) free space on /boot, but the single kernel image, initrd and whatever crap it includes consumes 280MB (or so). So apt just fails on upgrade as it can't generate new initrd or whatever it tries to do.

So I grabbed my ventoy-drive, downloaded latest mint ISO on it and instead of doing something productive I planned to do I'll spend couple of hours at reinstalling the whole system. It'll be quite a while before I install ubuntu on anything.

And it's not just this one broken update, like I mentioned I've had a lot of issues with the setup and at least majority of them is caused by ubuntu and it's package management. This was just a tipping point to finally leave that abusive relationship with my tool and set it up so that I can actually use it instead of figuring out what's broken now and next.

 

This question has already been around couple of times, but I haven't found an option which would allow multiple users and multiple OS's (Linux and Windows mostly, mobile, both android and ios, support would be nice at least for viewing) to conviniently share the same storage.

This has been an issue on my network for quite some time and now when I rebuilt my home server I installed TrueNAS on a VM and I'm currently organizing my collections over there with Shotwell so the question became acute again.

Digikam seems to be promising for the rest than organizing the actual files (which I can live with, either shotwell or a shell script to sort them by exif-dates), but I haven't tried that yet with windows and my kubuntu desktop seems to only have snap-package of that without support for external SQL.

On "editing" part it would be pretty much sufficient to tag photos/folders to contain different events, locations and stuff like that, but it would be nice to have access to actual file in case some actual editing needs to be done, but I suppose SMB-share on truenas will accomplish that close enough.

Other need-to-have feature is to manage RAW and JPG versions of the same image at least somehow. Even removing JPGs and leaving only RAW images would be sufficient.

And finally, I really like to have the actual files laying around on a network share (or somewhere) so that they're easy to back up, copy to external nextcloud for sharing and in general have more flexibility in the future in case something better comes up or my environment changes.
