#Germany Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz:
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 Putinโs vague statements about โachieving his goals as long as it takesโ with a specific tangible metric that may not look actually looks so optimistic from Russian side.

๐บ๐ฒ The fiscal 2026 NDAA provides $800 million for #Ukraine - $400 million in each of the next two years - as part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which pays U.S. companies for weapons for Ukraine's military.
It also authorizes the Baltic Security Initiative and provides $175 million to support Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia's defense.
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.

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 Iโm 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 โ๏ธ

Crumpled pieces of parchment paper are visible along the edges and partially under the baked item. The baking dish is black and has rounded corners, and the countertop is speckled with various shades of brown and gray.

BleepingComputer (@BleepingComputer@infosec.exchange)
A ransomware gang exploited the critical React2Shell vulnerability (CVE-2025-55182) to gain initial access to corporate networks and deployed the file-encrypting malware less than a minute later. https://www.bleepingcomputer.BleepingComputer (Infosec Exchange)
