There's not just one war on, there are many. Should Kagi exclude all the results from American companies because of the actions of the US government in Iran?

Then one should ask for Kagi to move to a country that doesn't use taxes to invade other countries, and stop supporting them, instead of just asking to "stop paying money to Russia". Because fixing two wrongs is better than just fixing one, right? And I want to believe that living in the US doesn't make you agree with your country's foreign policy (which doesn't seem to change significantly even with your democratic ability to try to alter it) specially if you're worried about Russia.

What's the point in stopping paying money to Russia if Kagi is incorporated in Palo Alto, so it's paying money and will continue to do so to a country causing no less troubles than Russia?

Who told you Ukraine had the ability to launch the nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union that happened to be deployed to its territory?

Were they theirs? Germany has nukes too but they're not theirs, they're from the US. Germany can't say "fuck off" to the ~50k Americans stationed in the country, leave NATO and get to keep the nukes.

Do you know if it's possible to cap expenses on Scaleway so you don't end up with unexpected charges (due to bandwidth or whatever)? I mean, having your services stopped until the next cycle begins or you decide to pay more. I knew this wasn't possible for Hetzner, for example, but I'm not sure about this one.

The EU is only making these statements until the US has a new president (with the same ideas of Trump, as has always been the case, but saying nice things in public).

Also, in the mean time, their announced "sovereign solutions for the European citizen" look ridiculous: now you'll be free from Visa and Mastercard for your payments but at the same time you'll need a phone approved by either Apple or Google.

I'd also be a classical liberal if I were getting 1 out of 4 euros of the EU taxpayers.

I thought N100 equivalent SBC computers like Radxa's, etc., were largely out of stock for quite some time now.

Well, that depends on which reality you're referring to, of course.

Not sure if you're talking about Iran or the US now

Are they still counting now? Because they may be mistaking them for the victims of the US and Israel, which are killing civilians by the thousands too.

How can I know? I don't trust either side.

But talking about 20k killed, next week 30k, now 45k... doesn't seem serious at all.

It looks like this figure is growing by the hour. By the time I finished writing this comment they may already be 100.000

Windows itself is a bunch of hacks, too, so if you think Wine is the same, then it surely looks like a very accurate emulation.

Is it that different? Being Australia in alliances like "Five Eyes" I don't think you can keep your stuff away from the US at least when using Fastmail.

If you want both US & EU away from your data, I suppose you will have to consider things like Yandex Mail, which comes with its own set of problems too, of course :)

> First, I tried mailbox.org, which I can generally recommend without reservation. Unfortunately, you can’t send emails from any address on your own domain without a workaround, so the search continued.

I had read about other problems about this mailbox.org service, but not this one. Anyone knows what's the catch when trying to send emails from your own domain?

Same here. I remember some kernel module or video driver named tdfx, and then, struggling to make X11 work with this DRI (Direct rendering infrastructure or something like that) setting on. It was very rewarding to see it enabled on glxinfo's output after days compiling half of your system and trying to figure out what was wrong, specially when the access to the internet was limited, and then being able to launch GLtron with hardware acceleration. Also remember playing Quake 3 and America's Army games around that time.

Fun times, now everything is straightforward on Linux but I somehow miss that era when you actually had to do everything by yourself.

True. And what will happen when another company wants their 10k satellites on orbit too? And companies from another countries, as well.
