Tor is not anonymous just like VPN's are not anonymous when you have 5eyes oversight of the network. Its like watching trucks navigating around the road network, you can see the junctions they take and you can see where they start and end, but you cant see the contents of the truck.
The Road network and internet have an awful lot in common!
I havent seen what Russia's and China's combined military stats are to NATO yet.
Russia lead on most nukes, US everything else, but China is 3rd and we know they have some very disciplined military and a far larger population.
Here in the UK we have been forbidden in law from interacting with any Russia entity, so Russian bank accounts are frozen, cant provided good's or services to any Russian entity.
The BBC broke the news first. Today's media are quite rapid and who knows what's been discussed down the pub the night before.
When looking at the 30-40min delays in filling in which was largely concentrated in cities, how many people sat queueing for fuel were considering an electric car? And then those filling up were limited to £20 or £30 of fuel so they experienced the same range anxiety as someone with an electric car.
Sometimes its not the message that is important, its the resulting changes that are more important. So the fuel crisis created an uptick in electric vehicle sales.
Its not just Govt discounts for new tech like solar cells that cause a change in behaviour, other entities can also take advantage of situations, or just be manipulated into reporting it.
I wonder if Reuters is trying to create a cyber war much like the BBC has been blasted by some in the UK for sparking Xmas panic buying and the fuel crisis.
Reactor grade: more than 19% 240Pu and less than 80% 239Pu
If the irradiation period has been short then the plutonium is weapons-grade (more than 93%).
Chernobyl's life span was cut short, so do we really know what things are like?
Edit.
Lets not forget being a member of NATO means nuclear weapon sharing, so is Russia not justified if it made a grab or made Ukraine a radioactive buffer zone?
Where does China come into all this with their new missiles after backing Russia?
Edit 2
Nato has become unpopular in Europe since the middle east wars and the ensuing migrant crisis. How do you know there isnt a concertive effort to rein in the Americans who spend the most on their military, not just within EU NATO members but within the wider global community? In other words are the Americans walking into a trap?
On the wiki page, a weakness was powergrid failure and the minute or two it took for the diesel generators to come online. They looked at whether any of the energy from the reactor turbines could be used to keep the water pumps going in this 1-2minute window until the diesel generators were up to full speed.
It needed a massive amount of water to pumped around which explains why many nuke power stations are positioned on the coast.
Of course, wiki is wiki, but is no more or less valid or invalid, than other reports when being mindful of bias.
In terms of Chernobyl and radiation leaks, an airburst instead of ground burst would spread more radiation and could parts of the Ukraine become radioactive wasteland to prevent Nato pushing right upto Russia border?
Russia hasnt moved an inch, but NATO has so could NATO end up on the wrong side of history with this one? Wars are always good distractions for domestic failures.
I know, I can pull uranium nodules out of the cliffs along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset UK. They are like blobs of clay, its the enrichment process which requires lots of it, so with all that enriched uranium in Chernobyl, why not flog it?
The largest uranium fuel depot in the world is Chernobyl, Ukraine.
Russia nearly bankrupted itself when it contained the nuclear disaster and even Gorbachev thinks it was Chernobyl that ultimately destroyed the Soviet Union.
Now with this in mind, I wouldnt be surprised considering the sanctions on Russia, if they perhaps make a grab for the uranium in Chernobyl and sell it, to claw back some of the costs they incurred for cleaning up Chernobyl.
Strategically, it was useful for Russian politics to have something as risky as the Chernobyl nuke power station in the Ukraine during the soviet union era, ie different country if anything went wrong nothing to do with us sort of thing.
However thats how it remains until now where the Iranians need uranium after their enrichers were destroyed with Stuxnet, so you have one potential customer there, you also have India & Pakistan, Israel as well as the UK and France who will all be needing a bit more uranium as we get off fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gases.
Didnt know this existed, interesting, but certainly could be useful at a forensic level, have had tools to highlight slow running multi threaded code in apps for probably about 15years now, but this takes it to a whole new level.
From their manuals
"The Intel® Processor Trace (IPT) works similar to the LBR and BTS feature of Ix86 based cores (see “CPU specific Onchip Trace Commands” (debugger_x86.pdf)"
I knew about the debugger on ARM cpu's like the Rpi, didnt know about Intel having one, but its suggested AMD dont have one either, so there might be some security reason for that, depends on if the trace is just output only or whether its possible to use things like SOIC clips to alter bits and bytes in realtime, but like slowed down not normal cpu clock speeds.
I've seen programming newsgroups, those things from the 90's, with what can best be described as MITM attacks having taken place when coders have been looking for solutions to problems and the solutions have not been correct. Most newsgroups were never secure so vulnerable to MITM from day 1 and what is being reported today is just the latest variation in that attack process.
I've also seen Bing & Google citing StackOverFlow and the replies in SO awarding or agreeing on a solution comes straight from this "text book" "The Gentleman's Guide To Forum Spies" https://cryptome.org/2012/07/gent-forum-spies.htm
Perhaps it would be useful to dig into a posters history on a site and then decide who you trust instead of just trusting a random on the internet?
How many people have download code from SO into VS and found it doesnt even do what its purported to do? I've seen plenty of that.
Resource Burning the population, in this case programmers, is a perfectly valid technique for a variety of reasons, but the main one being, you are stuck in front of computer and that means you cant get into mischief away from work. Religions have been using that technique for hundreds of years and colloquially its know as "The devil makes work for idle hands to do" or something to that effect.
Choose carefully what you want to believe and trust.
Waiting list for the SL-1200 or SL-1210's in the 90's were well over a year and you couldnt even get B stock (ie returns resold) from Panasonic Technics either.
I will add another one to the list, their SU-A range of amps with the R-core transformer.
When they first came out, I was invited to a blind listening session with Technics somewhere in London and they had some of the SU-A amps up against considerably more expensive amps and you were shocked at the quality, you could point to where the different instruments were being played left and right, you could tell whether they were at the front, middle or back of the sound stage, it was an awesome experience and the low price meant they showed up some serious big names in the hifi world. Magazines were harsh to them imo.
Its just a shame they couldn't replicate the quality in their surround sound amp's but I suspect that is more to do with the encoding used then and now. But the return in audiophile quality is not proportional to expenditure above a certain price, its more exponential.
The kettle and green cutting board fit inside the main setup (pots) so it takes up no extra space and you can stuff a couple of knives, forks and spoons inside the setup as well.
You can comfortably cook for two with this so its weight between two backpackers with other equipment like tent is not that heavy!
I got the Stainless Ally combo because you need to clean it and stainless cleans easily with a simple metal scourer, you can even get black soot off it easily so you cant ruin it like you can with non-stick coated camping stoves.
You can run it on pure alcohol, methylated spirits, petrol (gasoline) and other flammable liquids, although Meths is recommended and with a push even small twigs, branches and kindling if you run out of flammable liquids.
You can also get a pressurised gas burner for it as well which I dont have so cant comment on.
I've cooked for 2 near Ben Macdui wild camping on the Cairngorm plateau in a few feet of snow one Easter when the UK was getting hit with plenty of snow, a Met Office amber alert gale force storm not far from The Devils kitchen, Snowdonia another time I like to test things to destruction and this is one tool which gets my recommendation!
Plenty of decent evening meals, none of this freeze dried just add water nonsense and a decent cooked breakfast in the mornings, namely sausages, bacon, hash browns, baked beans, black pudding and eggs with HP Brown Sauce. Most of the weight in my rucksack when I go wild camping is good food!
The two pots are slightly different sizes so they fit inside each other russian doll like one way but the other way they stack on top of each other so with the green cutting board for a pot lid, you can keep cooked food warm/hot whilst cooking the rest of a meal up. Yes you may be swapping two stacked pots with the frying pan periodically if you want to do a fryup for breakfast or steak, mash and veg for an evening meal, but if you like cooking thats part of the challenge of having decent food in the most remote inhospitable parts of the world.
Its very bash proof as well, I've seen state of the pressurised gas burners break out of the box on expeditions whilst being pumped where as the Trangia has no moving parts to break, its the best designed product for me because of its simplicity and ruggedness. You could chuck your rucksac down the side of a mountain and it would still work!
A little tip, if you like a Full English breakfast dont take a bottle of cooking oil, take some hard solid blocks of pure saturated fat aka beef dripping. It doesnt melt except in the hottest of environments so its still solid during a British summer and you wont risk a flimsy bottle of cooking oil splitting inside your rucksack and you dont have to have the weight of a ruggedised bottle to store cooking oil inside your rucksack. Every good chef knows, is where the flavour comes from whilst giving you the calories to do some very nice expeditions.
When camping in the snow when its below freezing, take a couple of fuel bottles as you will burn through more fuel especially if the only water around you is melting snow.
All in all it gets my top marks, best designed, could not recommend it enough prize, design award, etc etc every time.
