NATO wants to increase spending to 5 percent - Prensa Latina
Moscow, June 24 (Prensa Latina) The goal of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit is to take spending to 5 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today.Juan Carlos Dominguez Taño (Prensa Latina)
This project is coming along nicely.
A modified Barracuda in the wild.
It will be my OPNsense router for my new business location. I very much enjoy piecing together old hardware to make something useful or interesting.
The chassis is a salvaged Barracuda BSF200a appliance. Stripped most of what was in there out, leaving the power supply. Replaced the motherboard with Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI - this was chosen due to the dual GbE network ports.
Low profile cooler (heatsink) came from a SuperMicro motherboard combo that I ordered from ebay. Kingston 120GB SSD came from local recycling.
Processor is i3-3220T - a lower power option than the processor that I originally got with the motherboard.
Blower fan is from a Dell Optiplex SFF machine, placed upside down, cushioned with foam and hot-glued in place.
It is a thoroughly custom solution built from parts I acquired from many sources.

Steve Witkoff: “We put 12 bunker buster bombs on Fordow. There's no doubt that it breached the canopy...and there's no doubt that it was OBLITERATED. So, the reporting out there that in some way suggests that we did not achieve the objective is just completely preposterous!”
ooh, new dark pattern I discovered today.
Stuck with MS Teams at $DAYJOB, I continue to hold onto the thick-client instead of succumbing to the heavy-weight web client.
Just about every time I switch to the app after a couple hours of not using it, it pops up a "This is unsupported" interruption with a link to learn more, HUGE, colorful "Try it on the web" button, and a smaller light "continue using this antiquated unsupported piece of junk" type button.
As if that wasn't bad enough, as dark patterns go, when you tab through the controls, focus lands on the "more information" link and on the "try it on the web" button, but the "continue using this" simply won't focus with the keyboard. You HAVE to reach for the mouse to click the "continue using this"
Have I mentioned how much I loathe using MS products, and Teams in particular?
I agree with you.
But I don’t have the energy to object after my day.
So a resounding “+1” from me.

So, a few months back, someone posted about using #biochar as an ingredient in seed starter. It seems biochar has a lot of potential good uses -- including #PFAS remediation!
"This project aims to investigate whether biochar can be used as a soil amendment to immobilize PFAS in the soil and reduce its bioaccumulation in the edible parts of vegetable crops, such as lettuce and tomatoes. The study will address several key questions: the optimal application rate of biochar in the soil, the frequency with which additional biochar should be applied after the initial amendment, and low-cost modification techniques to enhance biochar's ability to adsorb short-chain PFAS from the soil. This research will involve both laboratory and field studies. The findings will contribute to developing practical guidelines for farmers on the use of biochar in PFAS-affected soils."

Help Installing Kubuntu
Hello! I posted yesterday asking questions about which distro to pick, so first of all, thank you to everyone who responded. I wanted to thank you all there but lit cafe is down, so I'm on my other lemmy acc and can't edit that post. As you can tell from the title, I ended up picking Kubuntu, mostly because the touchpad didn't work on Mint (thank goodness I have a mouse handy) and Kubuntu has a nice little welcome walkthrough that made exploring it really easy and comfortable. So I went to install it, but I'm confused about this part of the installation. For reference I'm doing this on a Lenovo Ideapad and it has "128GB eMMC and 256GB PCIe." (honestly I don't exactly know what the PCIe means). There's two options for storage devices at the top.
The prior picture is with the first storage device selected. The following picture is with the second storage device selected.
Are there two options because there's technically two different hard drives in the laptop? Does it matter which one I choose? And I have no idea if I should erase disk (there's literally nothing on this laptop, so no worries about deleting documents or pictures) or do a manual partition? And if so, how do I do a manual partition because even if I click that I don't seem to be able to do anything (also what does manual partition mean)? And would Kubuntu take up all the storage space on the drive like it looks like it will? Because that would be a problem?
I had a lot of fun checking out the distros and trying out all of the customization options in Kubuntu and taking a look at everything in the software center, but I'm starting to feel like this might be too advanced for me. I'm sick of windows, but maybe I should just not risk messing with operating systems I don't understand? (Also I really hope those screenshots don't doxx me or something)

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵:
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night, soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in, and did you ever think
That we could be so close like brothers?
The future's in the air, I can feel it everywhere
I'm blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change
Mm-mm
Walking down the street
And distant memories are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva and down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (with you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (the wind of change)
The wind of change blows straight into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring the freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say (say)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams (share their dreams)
With you and me (you and me)
Take me (take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night (a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away (dream away)
In the wind of change (the wind of change)
