What happens if Iran is provoked to the limit and retalliates against the desalination plants in the GCC? Where will those 60 odd million people go when they have to leave essentially instantly, because there is no more drinking water? Is this the play? Of previous false flags?

Een oorlog gestart door het regime Mileikovski, mind you. Hamas grootgemaakt door Bibi. Hamas, dat geen strobreed in de werd weggelegd aan doorgaans ondoordringbare grenzen. Bibi, die niet wilde luisteren naar Egyptische waarschuwingen. Na de prokgrom, zes uur lang stand down order voor het IDF, dat zijn eigen meisjes offerde die als eenzame grenswachten achterbleven. Israel dat vervolgens een festival bombardeerde met zware wapens en kolonisten hun huis uit schoot met tanks. Me reet, met je porkgrom @ErnstLissauer Babies in ovens en onthoofde lampenkappen. Mensen geloven die schijtverhalen niet meer.

@_The_Prophet__ OK, so no servers. No, obviously. But, by now, who owns half the hashrate? Are you sure? Really?

⚡️This “professor “ asking “where are the servers” in 2026 is like a medieval cartographer asking where the edge of the earth is in 1520. The question reveals that the person asking it hasn’t updated their model of reality despite overwhelming evidence that the old model is wrong. Bitcoin has been running for seventeen years. It has survived the shutdown of Silk Road, the collapse of Mt. Gox, a Chinese mining ban, multiple 80% drawdowns, regulatory assault from every major government, and active hostility from the entire traditional financial system. If the CIA built it they built the most resilient piece of infrastructure in human history and then let it be attacked repeatedly by other arms of the same government. That doesn’t hold up for five seconds under basic scrutiny. But the CIA theory isn’t really about the CIA. It’s about the desperate need to locate an authority behind the thing. Because if there’s no authority then every assumption about how power works, how money works, how systems work, comes into question. And for someone whose entire career and status and identity is built on understanding how systems work, that’s not an intellectual problem. That’s an existential one. The real thing happening in that clip is a man protecting his worldview in real time. The question “where are the servers” isn’t curiosity. It’s defense. If the servers can be located then the system can be understood within his framework. If they can’t be located then his framework is incomplete. And admitting your framework is incomplete when your framework is your career is something almost nobody will do voluntarily. This is why Bitcoin adoption follows generational lines more than intelligence lines. It’s not that older people are dumber. It’s that they have more invested in the existing model. Decades of career. Status built on expertise within the current system. Reputation staked on understanding how things work. Bitcoin doesn’t ask them to learn something new. It asks them to accept that something they spent their life mastering is being replaced. That’s a fundamentally different ask. Learning is easy. Unlearning is almost impossible when your identity is built on what you know. The “where are the servers” question will be studied in the future the way we study people who rejected the heliocentric model. Not as stupidity but as a perfect example of how paradigm resistance works in practice. The evidence was available. The system was running. The proof was on the blockchain for anyone to verify. And he looked at all of it and said “but where is the building.” There is no building. There was never going to be a building. The entire point is that there is no building. And the people who need a building to believe something is real are going to be the last people on earth to understand what happened. By the time they get it, it will have already restructured the global financial system around them. They’ll be standing in the rubble of the old model still asking where the servers are while the new one runs on sixty thousand nodes they never bothered to look at.

🚨 "People recognize [bitcoin] is the CIA. I want to know where the databases are, where the servers are, physically.” - Prof Jiang This is the opinion of so many midwits. It's also the reason even some gold bugs cannot comprehend bitcoin to this day, and why midwits believe in centralized scam sh*tcoins. They don't understand decentralization.

@ComicDaveSmith Never again is about noone ever noticing again. That's why it took 80 years to get to comparable numbers.

@TulsiGabbard The Nazis were just stupid enough to do it all in a mere 5 years, seeing that getting to comparable numbers in 80 years is considered moral excellence.

As we observe solemn week of Holocaust Remembrance, we honor the memory of the six million Jews and millions of others murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. We stand in solidarity with survivors, their families, and all who carry the scars of that unimaginable evil. I will never forget my visit to the Warsaw Ghetto and Auschwitz. Walking through those grounds—seeing the gas chambers, the piles of shoes, eyeglasses, and personal belongings—left a profound and lasting impact on me. It was a visceral reminder of human’s capacity for evil, and of our duty to confront such hatred and darkness. We must ensure “Never Again” is not just words, but a guiding principle.

@superjan Ik hoor verhalen dat hij erin is geluisd met die aantijgingen. Maar ik lees ook de felicitaties van Sauros en van der Liar. Dit zijn nog maar woorden. Eerst maar acties afwachten. De 90 miljard. De 27 voorwaarden van de EU. Worden de NGO's machtig? Is er een meerjarenplan?

@elonmusk @Chesschick01 Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold; For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

@nxt888 American exceptionalism is very true. What is exceptional is their gullibility and naivety, rather than morality or prowess. I just heard an American say millions died in the Vietnam war "and 50.000 US soldiers". Why even mention them? Even 5% isn't significant, let alone 1%.

American exceptionalism is not arrogance. Arrogance knows it is arrogant. American exceptionalism is a sincere belief, genuinely felt, culturally transmitted across generations, that the rules applying to every other nation on earth simply do not apply to them. That their violence is cleaner. That their intentions are purer. That their failures are exceptions and their crimes are mistakes. This is not an opinion held by cynics. It is a religion held by true believers. And true believers don't lose faith over mere evidence.

@sskras @igor_os777 It is just a tool processing strings, not the OS. Highly unreasonable to expect everyone to complicate their code to accept two separators, but claim Linux stubbornly refusing to even do it in the OS itself is irrelevant. At that point this is bashing religion, not technology.

@ewjonker @igor_os777 Well, robocopy is not just an executable – it's one of many tools that fail to process slashes in paths (by interpreting them as options) from what I remember. No, Linux (executables/libc/syscalls) doesn't accept backslashes in paths. Now what does this have to do with Windows?

Ever wondered why Windows uses backslashes (\) while Unix stubbornly sticks to forward slashes (/)? Blame IBM and Microsoft’s shortsightedness in DOS. Unix pioneered forward-slash file separation, a sensible design choice adopted in URLs. When MS-DOS added directories, forward slashes already had another job—command-line options. In a panicked rush, Gates and company arbitrarily chose backslashes. Cue decades of pain for generations of IT admins juggling both OSes. One tiny decision, forever cursing humanity with confusing slashes, awkward escapes, and decades of ranting from frustrated Unix beards. You can practically hear Unix devs laughing all the way from Bell Labs.

Are the refinery accidents (TX, AU) terrorism or acts of war? An accident may be better than running at low utilization. The entire operating margin might be wiped out at even 70% utilization, because of the high fixed-cost structure. Depending on insurance policy, obviously.

@sskras @igor_os777 Wrt Command Prompt, yes, it annoys me it doesn't accept slashes. But it is not a big deal, because PowerShell accepts them and that is what I use even when I don't intend to use any PowerShell. robocopy is just an executable. Do Linux executables accept backslashes in paths?

@ewjonker @igor_os777 > Both can be typed without using SHIFT, so what's the big fuss? On which keyboard layouts, please? > And, as stated, Windows is entirely liberal. You can use slashes in Win32, File Explorer and PowerShell. Nope. Have you tried scripting / employing the actual CLI tools?

@Alecazam123 @igor_os777 That is what noobs and bearded men think. Most open source software written primarily for Linux, is saying it targets Windows 11, but more often in practice it in fact targets DOS 6.22. Just look at the issues that take half a decade to fix. Like in go and docker.
