This is essentially every project funded through a “defense” agency.

The last point is the important one. If you’re regularly seeing these in your house that means they’ve found a food source: your house is infested with another insect they’re keeping at bay.

An invasion of Lebanon risks direct Iranian involvement. Not sure if they’re trying to call a bluff or if they actually want that.

apt is good for most things.

Flatpak is good for applications where you want the people who write the software to be creating the releases and for closed source apps that you want to isolate a bit from your system.

For example, on a new system you might install everything using apt except for Zoom. Zoom isn’t in the Debian repos, it’s closed source and proprietary. But you can get the official Zoom application using flathub. Zoom will also be fairly isolated from the rest of your system so it has less access to your files and can be removed more cleanly later on if needed.

tyranny.gov is just a proxy for tyranny.com

lmao look at the AI-generated journal cover.

This is true but the article title is very misleading. It gives the impression that you can just boil your water first and then drink it and you will have a decreased intake of microplastics. “Boil your water before drinking” is very common in many parts of the world to prevent infectious disease, it means boiling a few liters for 10 minutes or so before use. In reality if you do that the precipitate will be in suspension, such as when decanting in a normal way rather than very carefully to keep (nearly invisible) sediment out, and you’ll still drink it.

It’s realistic if security is a priority.
