I like the extra challenge that it's over water!

There is a statue in Glasgow that always has a traffic cone on its head.
The council regularly removes it, and its always replaced.
It's had different variations over the years, from pride to independence to EU flags.
The council proposed a renovation of the statue including raising the plinth to make it harder to replace the cone. It was shot down with massive public outcry.

Um, akshually it's a DNS issue not a router issue.
I think.
It looks like a router issue. But it's always a DNS issue

I installed endeavouros on my windows laptop.
The installer guided me through the partitioning, setting up systemd-boot, and it was all great.
I had to disable bitlocker in windows (not that bothered about) and secure boot in bios (also not that bothered about).

Ran smoothly dual booting both for about 4 months.
Then a windows update hit, and fucked the boot.

Thankfully, this is a common enough thing that there are plenty of tutorials out there.
A liveUSB of endeavouros, some tinkering, and I was back up and running.

The cause seems to be FastBoot, where windows keeps the boot partition mounted. What I think happens is that bios tries to read the boot partition, which is configured/loaded for windows (because it never cleaned up after itself due to FastBoot being on) and boots into windows.
Since turning off FastBoot, I haven't had any issues in the past 8 months.

Steam took the cap off the toothpaste tube.
Microsoft is giving the toothpaste tube a good squeeze!

But they felt it. The whole building. Felt it.
And the clapped until their hands bled.

Maybe it's about redaction of the files

Maybe Ukraine couldn't retake the areas occupied by Russia, but they could deliver a Pyrrhic blow to Kremlin.

They have delivered a pyrrhic victory.
Russia thought they could take Kyiv (Ukraine?) on 3 days.
The fact that Ukraine has resisted so hard, have redefined the modern battlefield, have conducted huge deep strikes...
Ukraine is winning.

The reason Ukraine may not be "winning" is because the Russian war machine is huge. Like really really big.
The reason that Ukraine is "winning" is because the Russian war machine is outdated and corrupt.

The western opinion of Russia has been devastated. Russia tested themselves, and failed.
Russia is holding on by their nukes.
