There is a guy named Arthur David Olson who maintains a small database of all the time zones in the world, including things like leap seconds and such. It's used by everybody and it is updated several times a year. See here:

That submarine imploding near the Titanic will never be not funny. Especially since the guy who designed it believed in the "move fast and break things" nonsense.

Every person on board paid a pretty penny to be on that sub, so no pity from me either (except perhaps for the teenager who was reportedly terrified to go on, but did it to please his rich prick father).

Et n'oubliez pas braves gens : pendant que vous montrez votre carte d'identité numérique sur votre téléphone au gentil membre des forces de l'ordre, vous ne pouvez pas utiliser la caméra pour filmer des violences policières !

Par contre, comme le téléphone est déverrouillé, le policier peut lui commencer à fouiner dans vos fichiers et dans votre vie privée...

I have used all 3 major BSDs (Free, Open and Net). FreeBSD is ideal for servers due to its performance. OpenBSD is perfect for security appliances and NetBSD is perfect if you have exotic legacy hardware.

This being said, I have also used OpenBSD for about two years as my daily driver on an old second hand laptop, and I really liked it. With a minimum of configuration, installing software was as easy as Debian (just your pkg_add), and configuration is just super easy since the OpenBSD documentation.

It has improved a lot done then: installing security updates (sysupdate) and upgrading (sysupgrade) from one version to the next is amazingly simple. If your hardware is supported, OpenBSD is just a pleasure to use. Its only default is the lack of "advanced" file systems and volume managers.

It used to be BRIC (Brazil, India, China, Russia) or BRICS (same + South Africa). In the article, it has been extended again to other nations, therefore "so-called" because its membership is not the same anymore. Also, the membership seems very informal, it's just a bunch of countries maintaining ties and having discussions, not a real group of countries, with its own set of rules and institutions.

Probably because meat was only a small fraction of their diet.

Most cavemen were foragers, they would also fish, and look for a lot of things that were edible. Wild fruits and berries, roots, primitive plants ancestors of the ones that are now cultivated, etc.

Meat meant hunting, and hunting was dangerous, long and difficult. After a while, they would move on once game got rarer.

So, no, meat was not their only source of food.

First of all, what makes you think he was killed by a government? It's all speculation at this point.

The only thing that is certain is that his death is very convenient, to a lot of very rich, very well connected people who may or may not have organized to allow him to be "suicided" in jail. Most of these people probably did not want him to reveal that they also were pedophiles, and that they had sex with very young children that Epstein procured for them.

But beyond that, there is the question of justice, and the fact that victims did not get it, and other guilty parties were not judged.

In other words, money and power can protect you from the law. This is what riles people off. Epstein is dead, but justice has not been served.

I have done quite a few martial arts. Anyone who tells you you can learn X and fight against someone who is armed (knife or gun) is simply spouting B.S.

If someone pulls out a gun on you, give that person what he wants and pray you are not going to end up shot anyway.

If someone pulls out a knife on you, again, don't try to be a hero: give that person what he wants. Don't play hero, especially if the guy holding the knife seems to know what he is doing.

Martial arts are just a way to train your body and your mind, both trainings are valuable in and out of themselves. They will keep you calm in a tense situation, they may even save your life since no one wants to mess with a dude that keeps his cool. Ultimately, a street fight can be avoided just by looking calm and composed.

Quick answer: no.

Longer answer: if a USB key is inserted but not mounted (as you mentioned) the system does not interact with it in any way, except to log that something has been inserted, so there is no way Linux will be infected.

Longer longer answer: if you insert a USB key, then mount it (for instance read only) the system will no interact or execute anything on the key unless you specifically start a program that is on the key. So it will not be infected either.

Since most viruses and malware are for Windows, you can therefore mount a USB key and start an antivirus program to clean your malware without risking the integrity of your system.

Yes, they do.

The reason for this is that the Catholic church is one of the most powerful (if not the most powerful) religious movement on Earth.

Its interests may conflict with many countries interests (USA, Russia, China, Israel, etc) and its influence can be enormous in the countries where it is present. Think about the Church position on Gaza or Ukraine, for instance.

Many intelligence services therefore spy on the Vatican. The NSA, for instance, is on the record as saying they never cracked its codes (which is a debate for some other day), it was mentioned in the Puzzle Palace if I remember correctly.

Not really at much risk... YET.

Give it another 6 months or so.
