A lot of people are going to die, including US service members, this is a solemn moment to reflect on how this will be a choice we could have avoided. We must never forget in the aftermath of trauma that this will is not a random act of nature but a targeted, willing dismantling of geopolitical global stability that was undertaken precisely because it could not be revoked.

I hope I am wrong, but I see no point in putting energy into hoping this war will be avoided at this point given all the obvious signs the US military has likely already committed itself to the warpath. I doubt these are real negotiations with Iran, the way I see it they are far more likely the establishment of pretext for rationalizing violence while keeping the target distracted until the Winter Olympics end so the news can focus on Trump's "heroics" and all the weapons can be gathered in place.

Further it is likely Trump needs an excuse not to be able to give Ukraine air defense missiles so that Putin can continue to terrorize Ukraine, an attack would be extremely convenient for Trump and his daddy if a whole bunch of super expensive US missile interceptors were used.

If you don't think we are about to go to war with Iran, ask yourself this - Do you think Trump is capable of NOT using all the shiny powerful military toys that have spent weeks gathering to grab headlines and distract from the Epstein Files? All the military might is concentrated in an unmistakable posture of war, there is no other strongman move Trump can take than to order them to fire, telling all of that military might to back off now would require restraint which Trump does not possess even in homeopathic amounts and it also would superficially feel unsatisfying from a PR standpoint which is all Trump cares about, especially when people are talking about how he is a pedophile..

US Senator Lindsey Graham on Monday declared that “the wars of the future are being planned here in 'Israel'. Because if you're not one step ahead of the enemy, you suffer,” during a press briefing at The David Kempinski hotel. Graham pointed to 'Israel’s' rapid development in advanced weaponry as critical to regional security. A “21st-century Manhattan Project”

During his multi-day visit, Graham met with Netanyahu and other senior officials to discuss a burgeoning US-'Israeli' defense partnership. He suggested formalizing collaboration on weapons development, comparing it to a “21st-century Manhattan Project,” emphasizing that maintaining a technological edge is crucial for the survival of both nations.

Ok maybe I should put it diffrently. I don't mean like an attack dog. More like a security dog and not have him picked on by bigger dogs he can stand up for himself. The only training school we have is loaning him out to the local sheriff which they don;t gurantee his safety.

Beginning on March 1, if Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz does not meet their urgent demands for an eviction moratorium and rent relief, a coalition of nearly 26,000 workers has pledged to withhold rent, which they said could create a massive economic disruption.

Eighteen defendants allegedly involved in a Palestine Action raid on an Israeli-owned arms factory in the UK will no longer face charges of aggarvated burglary, after six others were acquitted of the same charges.

At Woolwich Crown Court in London on Wednesday, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said the Crown Prosecution Service had "reconsidered the sufficiency of the evidence" and would offer no evidence on that charge. The 18 will continue to face other charges in connection with the alleged raid.

The move follows the acquittal of six other defendants on charges of aggravated burglary in connection with the same break-in at an Elbit Systems plant near Bristol in August 2024. Heer confirmed on Wednesday that those six defendants face a retrial at a date yet to be fixed on all charges which had not ended in verdicts, including criminal damage and violent disorder.

They were held for around 18 months on remand - in excess of standard UK pre-trial custody time limits of six months.

Hello all,

I figured that a chunk of the selfhost community is using Caddy, so decided to post my query here. I am a novice in Caddy, so I might be saying some incorrect terms.

Some information

• The router and the host running Caddy, are different machines
• The router page is running HTTP, but I am accessing it via HTTPS through Caddy
• Caddy is running via Docker.

I have a couple of services running on a host, so I access them via Caddy's reverse proxy. Now I am also trying to access my router login via the same reverse proxy. This is what the router entry in the caddyfile looks like

.
.
{
    local_certs
}
login.router.lan {
	reverse_proxy 192.168.1.1:80
}
.
.

With this entry, I can access the login page. However, when I enter the password, I feel like it's attempting to login but then it just comes back to the original login page. When I access it directly, the login is successful. I also have Pihole running and the Pihole login process works fine. So I suspect that the router login page is expecting some extra information from Caddy to forward it to the login page.

After some searching online and some LLM wrangling, I figured it's some cookie issue or my login page is expecting a certain host.

What should I add to my Caddyfile so that the login redirect works?

Edit1: Clarification! Everything is behind wireguard. Nothing is exposed to public (other than wireguard). I only access it within my home. The router login page cannot be accessed from outside.

Edit2: After a discussion with a friend, I have slightly narrowed it down (maybe, I'm not sure) to a http/https issue. When I made this change, the login redirection works.

http://login.router.lan/ {
    reverse_proxy 192.168.1.1:80
}

But this means that all communication is over HTTP.

In all these Russian missiles and drones that were used today, there are thousands of components that Russia does not produce itself. Five "Iskander-M" missiles contain at least 75 critical components of non-Russian origin. Three "Kh-101" missiles contain almost 160 components that Russia cannot replace on its own. Each "Shahed" contains hundreds of such components that are imported into Russia from other countries, and not only from Chinese companies, by the way. Also Europe, America, Japan
