I don’t think so, Putin did a similar thing with a Superbowl ring years ago. It’s an alpha male thing, like his handshakes and all the other bullshit he does.

I’m sure there’s a different operation that caters for men that like little boys run by someone else we don’t know about.

Is he even trying to escape them? He’s been pretty clear about his opinions on Jews and the like.

Really depends on what data it is and whether you want to search it regularly or just as a one time thing.

You could load them into an rdbms (MySQL/Postgres) and have it handle the indexing, or use python tools to process the files. Something like elasticsearch could work too.

If it’s just a one time thing grep is probably fine tho.

Aleph could work as well but I have no experience with it.

I guess it depends on how much time you want to invest in setting something up versus how much time you’d lose waiting for grep to finish (if you only need to search a certain column, you can create an index with just that column using awk, search that index file, then extract the full line from the source file based on that result, but at that point you’re basically creating a new database engine).

And everyone knows B-2s and F-35s are invisible, so there’s no point in flying them as a display.

I mean, on a Linux system that’s not riddled with flatpak / snap / … You’d basically only need to update libpng and you’d be good.

I’m convinced the majority of civilian deaths on Oct 7 were also caused by the IDF. There’s the tank that shot a house full of hostages, and the Apaches obliterating basically every car that tried to leave the Nova festival. There’s a reason the Israeli’s never published a breakdown of who got killed and how.

Yep, apparently ‘the air’ is code for ‘a Palestinian’ if used in the context of shooting at something. In Gaza they’re killing scores of people at food distribution sites with ‘warning shots’.

Yes, it invariably devolves into oligarchy.

Because it’s all government subsidies/contracts.

It was clear that that was happening, but it’s a good thing soldiers themselves are coming forward and confirming it.

Oof, I hope he doesn’t break the norm of Presidents doing press conferences clothed, I don’t think I’d recover if he did a nude one.

It’s like taxes, they probably already know, but they make you fill out the form so they can either catch you out if you forget one, or add it to the list if you give one they didn’t know about.

Yeah, that’s definitely true for imperialist countries like Israel, the US and Russia.

I mean, that’s not really surprising. Every military makes plans for any contingency, and Israel especially has always been paranoid about Iran’s nuclear programme, so of course they would make sure they’re tracking the scientists in case they needed to make a move.

The disgusting part is them just pulling the trigger for political reasons instead of actual intelligence that indicates a breakout. And obviously killing civilians, which the scientists and their families are, but obviously Israel has shown in the past they don’t care about that.

Geneticists in a thousand years are going to have questions about a sudden boom in certain gene markers around this time if they don’t have the added context of billionaires deciding they’re the master race by virtue of being billionaires.

So this family member had all the logs and decided not to go to the authorities at all?

It’s always a war crime. People will argue there’s exceptions (Hamas tunnels, etc), but those conditions are never met in reality.

Russia bombed plenty of hospitals as well, and that was widely condemned. The only countries that are allowed to bomb hospitals are the US and Israel.

And even though it’s understandable that Iran would bomb a hospital in retaliation of Israel bombing one of theirs, it’s definitely not a smart thing to do, given how things like that play in the Western media.

In addition to it always being a war crime of course, regardless of context.

Yep, huge country, difficult terrain, largely homogeneous culture that goes back to the Persian Empire, homegrown weapons industry that can build their own drones and missiles. This is going to be more difficult by orders of magnitude.
