ABD İran’a saldırdı
Trump, Truman taklidi yapıyor... Barış için bomba!
ABD'nin İsrail'deki azılı siyonist büyükelçisi Huckabee’nin geçen hafta attığı zokayı yuttu:
"Hiçbir başkan sizin pozisyonunuzda olmadı. 1945'te Truman'dan beri hiçbiri.”

Since his election in 2016, Donald Trump’s political opponents have portrayed him as a dangerous, unstable fabulist doing the bidding of a malign, nuclear-armed foreign power.Having returned to the White House this year, Trump is proving his detractors correct on all counts but one: the location on the map. The rogue state that he’s colluding with — at great peril to the planet — is not Russia, as his most vocal detractors alleged, but Israel.

Anyone whose analysis amounts to "It's rich people's fault. No one else is to blame," is beholden to a concept of power at once puerile and dualist.
Anyone whose analysis amounts to "It's politicians' fault. They're the ones who should do something," is likewise beholden to a concept of power facile and dithering.
Anyone whose analysis is "It's rich people and politicans' fault. They're why shit stinks," is still less than half way there, yet at least has grokked that power is not a monopole.
The Estates is a way to divide the field--picking the Third Estate as the seat of ACTUAL power is--if it can be wielded. National strike comes to mind.
But in a way, I'd argue you're reframing the problem. The 0.01% own the governments, media and have been the bosses of the "intelligence" & military communities. There are "good apples" presumably in those barrels but the rot is systemic.
So still not sure what the >50% is to which you allude--carry on!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_…
The idea that the ultra-rich "own" the people who make up the other estates is a framing beyond simplistic.
Consider armed enforcement, the fifth estate. Exactly how are 18,000 separate police departments owned by a minuscule number of individual persons?
Those entities of the fifth estate have shared interests that they work together to protect, but the idea that there's some hierarchical control enacted through sequestered exchange value, some persons who "own" three quarters of a million people, when each of those hundreds of thousands of people are operating out of their own self-interests, out of their own desire to employ a monopoly of force to the satisfaction of their own ego-value, is puerile.
Good apples doesn't enter into it. The rot is systemic. Including the rot of the third estate. Looking to the third estate to enact a national strike is laughable. The seat of compliancism choosing not to comply? Please. Hence we get distributed flashmob block parties.
If the 0.1% were not writing legislation to benefit themselves, much of the systemic rot could be offset. ICE agents are also compelled currently by quotas but the people in it are mostly racist assholes.
Still: what is the other 50+% of the problem? I think are just muddying the waters. But then, you also don't seem to think there's ANY answers to the horrific situation our species is in. So why argue about anything? Indeed, that may well be an accurate assessment. We're fucked.
Not going to argue with consensus media. You asked a question. Myself answered it. You chose to disregard and not engage with the answer in preservation of your consensus framing.
(Consensus is just that. The fourth estate is consensus in the form of media. This is media. What we're doing right now. Only myself am not actively reinscribing consensus, am not actively reinscribing the status quo.)
If you honestly believe that the only reason police (notorious for behaving as if law does not apply to them) are only cruel because laws tell them to be, then nothing myself can say will convince you otherwise.
Per your "Still." Again, asked and answered. The other 50%+ is perquisition (the third estate), consensus media (the fourth estate, again, what you are doing right now) and armed enforcement (the fifth estate). Can repeat this ad nauseam. You won't hear the answer if it fails to affirm your insistence that the second estate "owns" all those disparate ego-value interests.
For more discussion of how armed enforcement operates out of it's own ego-value interests, see this thread:
mastodon.social/@richpuchalsky…
No one need order an ICE agent not to provide adequate food to children in a concentration camp. No one need "own" that member of the fifth estate for them to engage in depraved indifference.
Racism is sufficient to direct their non-action, without any story needing to be told about how some statistical error of a minority, the second estate—its members distinguished by having more digits on their balance sheets than people who will mourn them when they are gone—somehow "owns" those members of the fifth estate by virtue of the second estate being "bosses".
Cruelty is more than sufficient a motivator without having to imagine puppeteers pulling their strings. Any story that elides this, by blaming other people, people who aren't even in a position to be indifferent to the children in a given cage, only serves to perpetuate the systemic rot.

How #zionists grooms its children to Hate Arabs & raise #IDF fanatics
A study on children by Israel’s University of #Haifa (fourth, fifth, and sixth graders) showed that Israeli children viewed #Arabs as “kidnapper of children, murderer, criminal, and terrorists.” As studies in child psychology have shown, children are incredibly receptive to the media they consume, forming lifelong beliefs on them.

So I'm wanting to get into self hosting, and I could use some advice! I'm not sure which device to use for what. There's a lot I'd like to do, and I don't know how I should divide everything up by use case.
Should I have a dedicated network device for security, handling domain blocking and VPN?
Roughly how much processing power should I be devoting to this?
And how should I deal with gaming in two locations? (It seems like it would be annoying to have to start up my desktop PC every time I want to play games on the couch. Is it viable to just run everything from the PC and use a thin client for desktop and couch usage, or is latency going to be a huge issue? It's probably not good for stability, either.)
My list of devices I can use:
Desktop PC, RPi, Intel compute stick, and an old laptop. I'd be willing to get more hardware, but not looking to spend big.
The full list of what I'd like to do:
Pihole/adguard, wireguard VPN (I'd like to route my phone traffic through my home network. Currently using TrackerControl, but I'd like tracker/ad blocking with a regular vpn too, and it would also be nice to be able to manage things remotely)
HTPC interface, with the ability to play games from desktop or couch
Home assistant (Maybe with voice recognition? That's a low priority though)
Nextcloud and/or NAS, Media management with *arr, as well as some easy backup solution
And some headroom for a few other miscellaneous things. (Minecraft server? Website / email? All low priority.)
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I wrote out as much as I can to hopefully avoid the XY problem. I just don't know where to start, and I don't want to set everything up and then immediately realize I should have done it all differently!
There's no set plan or prescription, and no guide. You just pick the smallest set of resources you may have lying around, install what you need on it, then don't think about it until you need to. That's it.
Don't go out and buy a bunch of hardware in anticipation of some big thing you MIGHT want to do. Just use the hardware and tools you actually need to use, then move on until you actually do need hardware for a specific something.

On a related note, I don't think he thinks Trump is "smart", @Joyce Donahue, I think he thinks trump is the path to power.
Vance is not an idiot, he's evil. And unfortunately, he's comparatively smart. What he lacks, but Trump has (at least among some people whom I barely understand) is charisma.
I think Vance realizes he can never make it in politics on his own because of his personality, but he attaches himself to Trump because Trump innately knows how to wield power.

🐭 Paris: Man booked the whole of Disneyland to marry 9-year-old girl there
A foreign "groom" had the entire Disney park in Paris blocked off for two days - in order to marry a child. The "bride" was just 9 years old.
A real incident, confirmed by the police and Disneyland itself.
The guests were already lined up. Everything was booked. But when the "bride" arrived, the staff were left breathless. A child. NINE years old. Immediate cancellation. The police were alerted by staff and a total of four people were arrested.

@Kuenga> They also said that they were not ruling out that the event may have been a prank, with the guests attending as possible 'extras'.

the entire concept of the foundation is contingent on his financial success. something of which he is well known for destroying lives for.
so tell me, how many of those ruined lives were acceptable for the good that his charity does? how many more lives must be ruined for the good to continue to be acceptable? would you find it acceptable if your life was destroyed to continue the good his charity does? would you be willing to accept your life to be ruined or ended to support the continuation of his charity?
I don't understand why you don't see the obvious correlation between the two so I'll over simplify it.
bad man makes bad money making people suffer. bad money makes good stuff happen under bad man name. bad man still bad man doing good stuff for bad reasons.
you sit and justify his actions by arguing he's doing good things. I question if he's doing good things just to do them or if they're a byproduct of him "cleansing" his name. after all, bad men do bad things. Ever heard of Alfred Nobel?
