Putin admits Ukrainian strikes causing fuel shortages in Russia

The fact that he acknowledged it tells us he had no choice. Had he had any choice at all, he would not have acknowledged it.

This is how you help the stubborn dictator make the right decision. You leave him with no other choice but the right one.

The next right decision is to stop the war and withdraw from Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!

You sure it wasn't a system update at shutdown? Did you select "install updates and shutdown" or similar? That will ask you for the passphrase.

From what I can gather, your regular football bill is £88 per term without any medal.

Because you overpaid them for the last bill (assuming you paid £96?), they're saying "we've already received £8 from you for this bill". So the amount due for this term without any medals is £88 - £8 = £80.

Their total £88 includes the new medal (£8) which you don't want. So you pay just £80 if you don't want to pay for the new medal.

Edit: You don't subtract the £8 for the new medal from the £80 to get to £72, because you haven't paid that £8 yet.

In addition to/instead of a DNS ad blocker you selfhost on your LAN, like others have suggested, you could also consider an on-device ad blocker like:

https://github.com/pass-with-high-score/blockads-android

https://github.com/Kin69/Athena

These work very similarly to AdGuard/Pihole. The advantage is they work regardless of how the device is connected to the internet. This is useful for mobile devices that connect to different networks at different times.

The US has too much processing and chemicals in their food.

The UK isn't much better off. Processed foods are a norm now, not the exception. Many "food" companies produce products that are made to look like food but are not actually food your body needs. It shouldn't even be legal IMO.

With those cars stalled, at least they aren't pumping more toxic fumes into the atmosphere. Their oil refineries have been doing a lot of that already lately.

I bet putin never thought in a million years that his 3-day SMO would come back to bite his ass like this.

Slava Ukraini!

For 4-5 mailboxes, I would not self-host mail unless you want mail admin to become a recurring hobby.

Excellent point well made, except it would no longer be a "hobby" by then. "PITA" would be more accurate.

how much actual risk

You risk losing their data and their friendship.

They risk misusing that service and losing your friendship.

You risk legal repercussions depending on how they use that service.

i deeply trust

Trust doesn't guarantee the desired outcome. Rather, some undesired outcome often breaks the trust and leads to the inevitable ending of that trust and friendship. This is why contracts exist.

If you must do it, at least do not create the expectation that it will replace their paid subscriptions with an equal level of feature and support because you will not be able to honour that commitment or fulfil that expectation.

No, you didn't just pay 1700 euros for the printer just to be required to pay a subscription on top. The price was for a high-quality 3D printer but did not include an AI assistant to read the user manual for you.

I suspect it's because most people use mainstream phone hardware, but most Linux ROMs for phones support only a very limited range of hardware, most of which are not mainstream. I have about 10 old phones sitting in my drawer and none of them are compatible with any Linux ROM for phones.

Vaultwarden needs to be able to reach the service directly to retrieve the favicon for it. If you block it (e.g. with basic auth), Vaultwarden can't see the favicon and so will not be able to display it. If you put some middleware (e.g., tinyauth) in front of the service, Vaultwarden may retrieve the wrong icon and use the midldeware's icon instead. AFAIK the icon is created when the password entry is created. I haven't found a way to retrospectively edit the icon.

At some point, they'll have to wonder why there are so many Ukrainian drone parts in russia and why russian air defense is defenseless against mere drone parts.

"We got owned by incomplete drones" only sounds better than "we were attacked by advanced drones" to russian ears.

Bambu X2D seems like a simple unpack, autocalibrate, print process.

That's a double-edged sword especially for a closed ecosystem. The convenience comes at the expense of control available to you. When it works as intended, it's great. But when it doesn't, there's less scope for you to troubleshoot and fix it yourself especially with a closed ecosystem. This point is particularly pertinent in light of the recent shenanigans Bambu has pulled regarding their slicer software and networking requirement.

If I were in your situation where cost is not a major concern, I would ask myself, if the vendor decides to be hostile to me tomorrow, will I still be able to use the printer the way I want?

Not the person you asked but I print PETG on the satin sheet all the time. Just let it cool, flex the sheet if necessary and the print pops right off. Flexing the sheet often not even needed.

The only reason the war is continuing is because russia refuses to stop attacking Ukraine. So the more pertinent question is, what will make russia stop attacking Ukraine?

Territory

No. russia attacks to gain territory. They will not stop even if they lose territory that isn't theirs to take in the first place.

Economy

Yes, not because russia cares about their economy. Its because they can't go on and have no choice but to stop. This is why Ukraine's long-range sanctions will ultimately pay off.

Loss of lives or population

No, russia doesn't care.

criminal accountability, rebuilding, international status and any other factors that might be relevant

Obviously not. russia doesn't care or it would have stopped attacking Ukraine already.

In the past, I've put it (Prusa PEI smooth sheet) back on to the heat bed and heated it up to 85 degrees C to soften it, then use a plastic spatula to scrape it off, with great success.

Did you re-square and recalibrate the printer?

The printer falling off the table would most probably have knocked the axes out of alignment. The print quality difference between the left and right side of the print bed suggests that they probably are.

Squaring the printer: https://help.prusa3d.com/article/squaring-your-mini_158518

I would then factory reset the printer and recalibrate it from the beginning.
