I guess long sequences of text nowadays get you flagged as a bot. But which sentence in my analysis makes you believe I am one in particular, I thought I just wrote about the countries in the region and effects?

Israel has a very different stance to Russia than NATO.

I do not know much about the Status of Russia military bases in Syria (Tartus). Where can I find updates on this?

It happened: strikes on Irans capital and nuclear facilities 🇮🇱. Here follows my analysis and the consequences for involved nearby countries. The main difference between this war and the Russia Ukraine war: Buffer states like Syria and Iraq are between the 2 countries at war, as Iran and Israel have no direct land borders. Furthermore it is insanely hard to to march Infantry masses across these flat desert buffer countries landscape without being spotted by satellites or drones. Syria and Iraq will sustain some damage, as they host pro Iran militia forces and some IS terror cells. This war will cost a lot of rocket-fuel, as the distance between Iran and Israel cities are bigger than those from Ukraine to Russia.

So I predict this will be mostly a war of long range strike- and special forces secret service commando assets in which Israel has an advantage in my assessment. Iran might enrich Uranium further, but only as a gesture, not really a useful outcome for them ☢.

🇸🇦 Saudi-Arabia will profit from this: Its sales of oil will grow, while Iran refinery capacity will be destroyed 🛢 . Russia might benefit indirectly from this with its oil sales to Asia (India and China) and a growing oil price. NATO countries will divert some long range strike assets and artillery munitions to Israel at first to strengthen it, as the US has already sent air defense assets purposed for Ukraine to the middle east theater. But with a defeated Iran Russia will loose power in the middle east and the Caspian-Sea. Azerbaijan and Afghanistan might profit from this as well, their borders with the isolationist mullah regime might become more brittle enabling more sanction avoiding smuggling and small export industry.

The US will benefit from this war in 2 ways: growing oil prices make their fracking industry more competitive and defense contractors like Ratheon stocks will grow 🗽 📈. Israel as a key to the region will strengthen for the US.

🇹🇷 Turkey will stay neutral, they are amassing military forces and industry and neither Iran nor Israel have interest to mess things up with them and divert resources, though Turkey might use this to justify deeper operations inside Syria against PKK forces in the north-east.

Also I expect North Korea to send “secret” observers and assets into Iran as they have done in the Ukraine war, keep looking for them.

10 TB? Is that not multiple hard-drives? Can you access the text-files while you host/serve them? Or are they compressed as zip files?

I use nanoseconds unix timestamps as my date mechanism.

• use smaller instances besides lemmy.world or lemmy.ml, this will increase decentralization
• donate to your instance hosts and important devs in the field
• be active and post high value content

Postman shows it is under heavy load sometimes. Are there other trackers? I only found … https://ngosang.github.io/trackerslist/

• updates trackerlist everyday, today:

i2p is the only tor for torrents I know of. a program i2psnark that comes with the java-version preinstalled specifically. You need to follow their setup instructions closely to get a functioning i2p you can interact with using a http-proxy setting in your web-browser.

I2P can only talk to other I2P users. There are far from enough users on it to reliably use it for P2P. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, it just never reached critical mass. The set-up process is probably too complicated for most potential users.

• So the massive i2p problem is its unpopular.

This is a bit of the chicken and egg problem. Has anyone here experience using or seeding i2p torrents? I would be interested in for example seeding Linux iso. I set it up

My 2cents how to seed :

then you can use i2psnark/Create a torrent in the web interface, and type the file-name of the file you want to seed over i2psnark. on Linux for me its in in /var/lib/i2p/.i2p/i2psnark

But sharing over it is another matter; you need a tracker for that, like postman, or the other one I have not tested yet.

Yeah I am a concerned euro watching across the Atlantic. But the ideals of your founding fathers live on in your constitution and legislative branch, which can get the system back on track, right?

Yeah but turning China into a democracy will be harder than returning the US to what it has been, a constitutional law-based society.

This makes no sense bro. At least the US has a potential path to return to a different president/congress in 4 years, since it has a constitution that grant rights to everyone.

Maybe Tariff money? Oh wait they are taxes on domestic importers.

Russia has not the port infrastructure china has. And that would take decades to build, if Russia can even afford it (it costs more money then they have).

We truly live in the best (funniest) timeline.

I can defend my choice of words “historical”: Even the most mundane happenings today might be viewed completely weird practices in the future.

We are witnessing history in the making, people! Keep documenting and writing it down, like the ancient greek historians. The US has radically changed under the new president Trump 2024 -> 2025 and we will need to study the effects on our world and global economy closely. Historic times indeed.

Who cares when the commoners living next to the coal plant breathe radioactive dust? Its cheaper to run for the industrialists short term, less capital investment to build, educate personell and maintain them is required. /s

yes even coal is “cheaper” than nuclear once you disregard polution

I think France is in the best position to lead in these new tariff times, as they retained more economic and strategic independence compared to for example Germany. Time to learn french.

tensions flare over new US tariffs, French President Emmanuel Macron has urged companies to freeze US investments

the “urge” is just the first step I guess?
