Zelensky: Ukraine won't accept a full withdrawal from Donbas, despite Russia's demands. Talks with the US will continue this weekend, possibly with EU reps.
Kyiv insists security guarantees must be passed by US Congress and mirror NATO’s Article 5. Commenting on the so-called “latest version” of Russia’s peace plan, Zelensky said no agreed-upon version exists. The US is discussing proposals with both Ukraine and Russia, but there is no final, approved document at this stage.

ResidentBat e il malware sul traghetto italiano nella nuova guerra ibrida dello spyware
@Informatica (Italy e non Italy 😁)
La scoperta di ResidentBat sul telefono di un giornalista bielorusso è l’ennesima conferma che lo spyware non è più un’arma eccezionale, ma un’infrastruttura ordinaria di repressione politica. Allo stesso tempo, il caso del traghetto
like this
Una bottiglia di vetro trasparente di forma insolita si trova su una superficie di legno. La bottiglia ha una base larga, un collo stretto che si allarga in una forma a pera e poi si restringe di nuovo verso l'alto. All'interno della bottiglia è visibile un liquido trasparente. Un piccolo tag è attaccato al collo della bottiglia, con una grafica colorata e la scritta "Grappa" in evidenza. Il tag presenta anche un simbolo che ricorda la bandiera italiana.

La cultura del “tanto chi vuoi che mi attacchi?” gira ancora, testarda. Non è uno slogan, è proprio un modo di pensare.
Una specie di alibi mentale che permette di rimandare, di non guardare troppo da vicino certi rischi. Succede spesso nelle aziende piccole, quelle dove tutti fanno un po’ di tutto e la #sicurezza resta una cosa vaga, sullo sfondo.

We intend to use Russian assets to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine for at least two more years. This step is not about prolonging the war, but about bringing the war to an end as soon as possible.
I believe this is a very important message, as it gives both Russia, Ukraine and USA a clear message, responding to Putin’s vague statements about “achieving his goals as long as it takes” with a specific tangible metric that may not look actually looks so optimistic from Russian side.

Natural gas prices in Europe have all but returned to normal since Russia's full scale war in Ukraine. In fact, the only reason for the spike in 2021 and 2022 has been Russia's energy war against Europe, which started even before the full scale invasion of Ukraine. The numbers clearly say that.
It proves many things:
Russian energy was never cheap, neither politically nor economically.
Russian energy was always unreliable.
Russia always needed Europe more than the other way around.

Tiens, une connexion de neurones aujourd'hui ?
I thinking of uninstalling the excellent #Wordpress #ActivityPub Plugin and defederating my sites from the #Fediverse. For technical reasons only. CPU goes through the roof when new posts are boosted for the first time, causing 508 errors.
Does anyone else suffer from this problem and have any suggestions to lighten the load?
Maybe I’m overreacting and should just live with the minute or two of daily downtime?
I have Litespeed cache installed.
Affected sites: @dinotoyblog @blog@animaltoyforum.com @blog@monstertoyblog.com
Exactly. Maybe there are there some Litespeed settings I could tweak?
Thanks for your interest and help.
is this "only" a problem when you post new things?
so there is always the option to tweak the scheduling, to not send all pings at the same time. the only downside is, that this can take some more time until every of your follower receives the new post.
I will put it on the backlog.
idea: an option to chose between different scaling/load levels.
1. publish as fast as possible (high load)
2. reduce bulks and increase pauses between sending
3. take your time ☕️
