Germany's energy suicide:

Germany closed its nuclear power plants in sympathy with the clueless Greta Thunberg lobby, but only with the help of scientific fraud and dishonesty. Only to be denied natural gas by the US detonating the Nordstream pipeline.

Environmentalists who won't consider nuclear reveal that the climate scam is about de-industrializing the West. They don't really care about fictional carbon dangers or even about real pollution harms. It's about "equity", i.e. destroying capitalism, even though that will impoverish and kill people.

Taxing unrealized gains isn't just similar to confiscation or as bad as confiscation (all tax is); it will necessarily lead to confiscation!

This is how Stalinda moved Pfizer to fully approved:

Most New Zealanders got jabbed under a provisional authorization for the failed experiment. Long after it was clear the thing didn't work and NZ & Aus had the highest death rates globally in 2022 (after everyone got "vaxxed" and despite a milder variant), New Zealand inexplicably gave the thing full approval (as if the experiment had been a success and safety was evidenced)!

That.. is 21?

We've released #PuTTY version 0.81. This is a SECURITY UPDATE, fixing a #vulnerability in ECDSA signing for #SSH.

If you've used a 521-bit ECDSA key (ecdsa-sha2-nistp521) with any previous version of PuTTY, consider it compromised! Generate a new key pair, and remove the old public key from authorized_keys files.

Other key types are not affected, even other sizes of ECDSA. In particular, Ed25519 is fine.

This vulnerability has id CVE-2024-31497. Full information is at https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/vuln-p521-bias.html

In bash, writing ${var?} instead of just ${var} or $var means if var isn't defined then bash will throw an error and _not_ execute your command, instead of expanding it to "" and carrying on.

mv file1 file2 $subdir # oops, I overwrote file2
mv file1 file2 ${subdir?} # error message instead of disaster

My favourite use of this is for example commands in documentation, with placeholders for the user to fill in. Then it's OK if a user accidentally copy-pastes it _without_ filling them in!
