  • Sweet story that omits more than tells

    How did the pilot die during the missile strike?

    It is a sweet story that forgets to mention that this missile strike shut off electricity in multiple regions despite report of 80% interception rate.

    On that day the were multiple leaks of fireballs on the ground. Odessa, for starters.

    Ukraine moved significant amounts of anti-air to protect its Kursk invasion of Russia. The result was a successful missile attack against military assets in Ukraine. One of the losses was F-16 with the pilot. How did he die? Was it long range anti-air hit at an impossible distance even for long range missiles? Or was it a hit on the ground? How far away from front lines?

    Is it that acknowledging hit on the ground is revealing a successful hit of military airfield used to arm F-16? What about all those sweet intercept numbers?

    The way article is written makes reader to think that F-16 was in the air, when it was hit. It is all about the way story was written. However, there’s no actual statement of how or were it was hit.

    Russian unofficial telegram channels reported that F-16 was hit on the ground. F-16 is not stationed in Ukraine, but it gets armed in Ukraine to avoid accusation of direct NATO involvement. So, Russians managed to hit a highly missile protected the furthest away airfield in a time window of short F-16 armament.

    Suddenly the story has a completely different meaning. That’s why it is a sweet story, that omitted more, than told us.

    Update: today’s telegram says F-16 was shutdown by friendly anti-air fire. Was it western supplied weapons that don’t have friendlies identification?















  • Chinese currency took 53.6% of all Russian trade in May of this year.

    Compare this with just 1% 2 and a half years ago in the beginning of 2022.

    Russian financial system is already prepared for this scenario and absolutely no serious impact is expected to occur.

    These events (sanctions and switch in trade) will simply accelerate transition of Russian economy away from dollar in the trade.

    Russia and China already use each other’s currency to settle trade between each other. World manufacturing and world resource store are now exclusively connected and now fully control internal inflationary pressures.

    EU and US are not able to control price inflation and are forced to guard their economies through additional tariffs. For example, recent introduction of tariffs on Chinese made electric cars demonstrates loss of competitiveness of western economies. Cars are complex products that require a lot of energy to produce. As a result they are a good subject to aggregate economic efficiency.

    if this continues China and Russia may be able to dictate the rate of currency inflation in the non-dollar space (read BRICS future currency control).

    dollars that used to work inside Russia-China trade space are continuing to get pushed out into the dollar space and causing upward inflationary pressure on the dollar. This forces US Fed to keep pumping freed up dollars from the dollar system through elevated interest rates to keep inflation down in the dollar space.

    There are 1st signs of economic slowdown in US and fed is currently unable to react quickly due to the need to pump excess liquidity from the dollar system.

    So, all this impact on the dollar for a questionable impact on Russia.

    There’s so much incompetent advice here.

    CPU is fine.

    Linux is booting and tries to connect to TPM (trusted platform module).

    It has nothing to do with graphics card. Fact it is booting means CPU is most likely likely unaffected.

    TPM is most likely fried.

    Linux can run without TPM. Plenty of old boards were shipped with TPM socket, but without TPM itself.

    Best option is get manual for your motherboard and pull out that TPM.

    Any passwords stored there are lost, if you used it.

    If TPM is fine, then board pathway to it may be damaged. If that’s the case and you really need it, then board replacement is your option. But that’s only after good TPM was tried.

    When i tried it 6 months ago I didn’t like how UI apps took more time to start. Then I realized it is all flatpak or similar. Package management was slow. Installation process took very long time. I assume it tried to auto detect my hardware.

    And went back to Arch.

    SUSE Feature set is the best.
