That's a damn good analogy. Appease for long enough to grab a big stick. My original thought on Dementia Don saying just "give Putin what he wants" felt to me like a "if we do this now he won't ask for more later and the war will stop" kinda thing. As I read it now I'm willing to bet you're more correct. There is no nuance here. The orange cheeto is angling for praise from his master and dictators the world over. How fucking dumb

Interesting. I learned something new today. Thanks for sharing! And no doubt he's been bought/getting paid. Everything about him screams Russian asset.

Appeasement doesn't work. Appeasement never works. It didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with Put-ler. This piece of shit is a useful idiot and I'm saddened that quite a few people today lap this shit up and see this as the best path forward. Ukraine may be scarred now but they can and will rebuild when they win this war. Slava Ukraini

I've been using podman desktop (https://podman-desktop.io/) which is also free. I've never heard of rancher desktop so I'll have to give that a look!

I'm not sure what the original issues were either but I do remember the message on the TrueCrypt site that said something like "warning, do not use. Contains unfixed security issues." The only thing that might explain that is this line from Wikipedia: "TrueCrypt includes two vulnerabilities in the driver that TrueCrypt installs on Windows systems allowing an attacker arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation via DLL hijacking" Personally I believe the guy just didn't want to maintain the thing anymore and abandoned it with no notice. Either way. Good thing VeraCrypt took over and fixed all those issues.

Nothing is 100% fool proof. Hardware or software encryption both have their issues. Case in point, Truecrypt (on which VeraCrypt is based) had a few issues that ultimately led to its demise. Hardware devices (I saw mention of one SSD maker) a few or years ago would store keys on the device that could be read off. So you're going to have to give me a source for "FDE is better done in software. It's more secure" beyond "just trust me bro."

How about you tell me why instead of just saying "TeRribLe AdViSe."

The best option is going to be a USB drive that has an external key entry feature. Kingston IronKey has these and its as simple as enter a key and plug in. I use them at work and it works on all the major OSes. They're not cheap though so if you want or are looking for a free solution then something like VeraCrypt portable and an encrypted container will be your next best option.

Or here's a thought. Increase the tax rate on the top 1% of earners. Heres another. Actually fund the IRS to go after billionaires. One or both of those would surely pay for this and much more.

Amazing. Hopefully this leads to eradicating HIV for good.

Nice

At best it's because it's because he doesn't want Joe Biden and the Democrats to look good before the upcoming election. At worst it's because he's Putin's bitch doing whatever his master says. Personally, I believe he's a piece of shit traitor and so too are all the Republicans that follow and listen to him.
