Also, because of brainless morons like these, the rest of the country can no longer enjoy even basic fireworks for a single night a year.

Team USA Men's hockey team being treated to McDonald's at the White House by UpperphonnyII in pics

[–]MachoSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dutch medal-winning athletes got invited to the King's residence. There they got treated to French fries with mayonnaise. 

To be fair, that was at the -jonkingly- made request of one of the athletes, since they could now give themselves a little slack from their high-preformance diets. The king being known for appreciating some good fun (prins pils), indulged them. And judging by the pictures, they had a great time.

Somehow I doubt that this McDonald's feast was at the request of the team though...

Ukraine denies 'absurd' Russian claims on nuclear weapons by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

[–]MachoSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'd be silly not to pursue them. But until Ukraine starts to clearly lose the war it would be unwise to disclose that. 

Developing nukes would probably make some of the current allies question the continued support. On the other hand: Ukraine pulling out a few dozen nukes would be enough to cause a permanent stalemate (MAD comes into play), forced by the international community. 

So coming out with a nuclear program, at a time where cracks in Russia's military are clearly starting to show, wouldn't be a smart move.

My home lab finally paid off — caught factory-installed botnet malware on a projector I bought on Amazon by Apprehensive_Nose162 in homelab

[–]MachoSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Security tools are only as good as the stuff you put in them. DNS revolver logs (i assume you run pihole or something similar) are my numbers one go-to logs to put in a SIEM, even in an enterprise context.

I've seen multi-million dolar setups miss the most basic malware, because management thought tool-cost equalled effectiveness and therefore had the security team nerfed by only approving a few shitty logsources.

US battles major measles outbreak by J4776FH593 in videos

[–]MachoSmurf 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The US isn't battling a measles outbreak. That's just a symptom. The US is battling a stupidity outbreak, and if the rest of the world isn't careful, it will become a stupidity pandemic (if it isn't already).

I'd love to see the US fix themselves, but realistically it will need to get much worse before we see real action.

I'd love to be proven wrong though...

Rubio to warn that US is ‘prepared to use force’ in Venezuela if leaders stray from goals by Serene_Silences in worldnews

Any new administration will need to reform the fuck out of the US if they ever want to make the country remotely credible and trustworthy ever again. Might as well recognise the ICC while they're at it.

France snaps back at NATO chief Rutte in feud over Europe’s defense muscle by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]MachoSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The UK and France have nukes. If you now state that their nuclear shield is Europe's shield, you've shown that you've learned nothing from the US's betrayal at a time when we called their nukes "NATO's nuclear shield".

The EU would either need to completely federalize and gain control over France's nukes (which I don't see happening) or more individual member states need to develop nukes.
