And now each and every country is supposed to spend more on tanks and guns and drones only
Nope, 3.5%.
The other 1.5% is infrastructure and stuff that has both peacetime and wartime benefits, such as roads and rail that can be used for military transport in case of war, cybersecurity, I'd even argue that energy independence can be shared under this.
What is this community's policy on Russian propaganda?
Yep, and then there's probably a good number of people who have no idea of threat modelling who just copy those actions to say they have "good privacy".
Tbh, I'm closer to the latter.
The problem with non-PLP drives is that Rook-Ceph will insist that its writes get done in a way that is safe wrt power loss.
For regular consumer drives, that means it has to wait for the cache to be flushed, which takes aaaages (milliseconds!!) and that can cause all kinds of issues. PLP drives have a cache that is safe in the event of power loss, and thus Rook-Ceph is happy to write to cache and consider the operation done.
Again, 1Gb network is not a big deal, not using PLP drives could cause issues.
If you don't need volsync and don't need ReadWriteMany, just use Longhorn with its builtin backup system and call it a day.
I tried Longhorn, and ended up concluding that it would not work reliably with Volsync. Volsync (for automatic volume restore on cluster rebuild) is a must for me.
I plan on installing Rook-Ceph. I'm also on 1Gb/s network, so it won't be fast, but many fellow K8s home opsers are confident it will work.
Rook-ceph does need SSDs with Power Loss Protection (PLP), or it will get extremelly slow (latency). Bandwidth is not as much of an issue. Find some used Samsung PM or SM models, they aren't expensive.
Longhorn isn't fussy about consumer SSDs and has its own built-in backup system. It's not good at ReadWriteMany volumes, but it sounds like you won't need ReadWriteMany. I suggest you don't bother with Rook-Ceph yet, as it's very complex.
Also, join the Home Operations community if you have a Discord account, it's full of k8s homelabbers.
I don't have experience with any of the models you're considering. I used a Corsair for years (don't!) and am currently quite happy with an old Filco Majestouch 2 TKL that I added some white and pink keycaps to.
The Filco was bought used, is built like a tank and only cost about €80.
The one thing I miss in it is QMK/VIA support.
As I understand it, a keyboard with QMK or another firmware with VIA support essentially allows you to program your keyboard however you want. And then bring that programming ("layout") with you to another board.
My Filco has 4 dip switches on the back that allow very limited programming: for example, switching Esc and `, or switching Caps Lock and Ctrl.
But I can't make it such that Caps Lock works as Caps Lock when long-pressed alone, but as Ctrl when struck in a chord with another key. QMK/VIA would make this possible.
Even if you don't want to do this now, having the option to play with combination keys and smart layouts like that is very interesting when you want to downsize from TKL to a smaller board.
Also, consider the used market.
But what about the next 26 re-engines?
Veganism implies consent.
Do I need to spell it out for you how to get a load in a vegan way or can you figure it out?
The latest doublespeak for oligarch
I finished the Sea Harrier yesterday. My third finished kit. Had some interesting mistakes along the way, and it was the first time reviving such old decals (yellowed and broken). Learned a lot. Given the troubles I had, I am very happy with the end result.

This AAR was originally shared at Mudspike, I hope you like it.
This was in February, back in Enigma's V1 with the lines, no hex grid, flying F1CE in the old scenario.
It must be about a year since I have been eyeing Enigma’s Cold War server. I have flown there once or twice, but have only dreamt of flying the Mirage F1 in a coordinated planned fashion.
I have not flown a lot last week, but last night I managed to get myself invited to @miRage and @MBot 's group and joined them for an attack run in the Mirage F1 on Enigma’s Cold War server. It had just switched to Caucasus earlier that day (I still don’t own Syria).
It was an epic flight. They had a flight plan, a detailed attack plan (with mils, degrees, feet and knots), helped me manage the radios and allowed me to focus on flying and looking around.
As we approached the front line at 20k ft, just above the clouds, @MBot was talking to the AWACS and told us things like: “Fishbed, 10 nmi, roughly heading towards us” “7 nmi” “No he’s on the deck, we’re safe” This happened a few times. I did not feel safe at this point. But that was clearly not going to happen in a full ECW server with 70 players flying aggressively around the same front line area.
Finally, one of the Fishbeds did appear to be coming after us, but that was right as we approached the IP and dove into the valley that would take us to our target. We flew low and fast (Mach 0.95 on the deck) with a full load of 5 Belouga cluster bombs. In trail formation, with yours truly in third
“Only 3 nmi behind us” - our leader said
I suggested using burner but we can’t go supersonic with the bombs still on so we pressed on at M0.95 I said: “Don’t worry guys, he’ll shoot me first”
“Stay on target…” was @miRage 's apt response.
As we arrived at the target, we followed lead’s cues: 30 degrees left, 30 degrees up At 6200 feet sea level, turn into the target. We had planned for a 15 degree dive, release at 1500 feet AGL with the target at 121 mils.
I don’t remember what my dive angle was. I think I was shallow, but I was a bit distracted by the tracers that flew by my cockpit as I walked the pipper onto the target.
I dropped my bombs roughly on target and started flying erratically, low, with full burner, while announcing to the others what was happening. I occasionally looked back but focused mostly on flying dangerously while not flying into terrain.
Some intense tens of seconds later, I spotted one of my flight in front of me and wanted to warn them for the MiG that would surely start taking a shot at them.
Then I heard the magic words:
“AWACS reports nearest bandit is 20 miles out”
I looked past my shoulder and saw a large fire in one of the forests behind me.
He must have flown into terrain or maybe he killed his engine: my flight told me the Mirage F1 can fly faster without killing its engine at low altitude.
We rejoined just above treetop level and managed to fly back to base.
This may well be the best DCS experience I have ever had.
Looking forward to more attack runs on ECW with these guys!
LXQt runs on it
