People want to shift blame. The influence and money between the US and Israel is a revolving door. The US gives Israel tons of money in defense and security contracts, orgs like AIPAC redistribute some of those funds back to the US to keep the revolving door greased.
I think it's incorrect to say Israel is pulling the strings when admins of both have been colluding almost since Israel's existence.
We don't know what happened with the bulk of Epstein's private island videos. Who knows, they may well have resurfaced in Tel Aviv or Moscow. Both countries have a lot to gain from this disastrous campaign.
What I find interesting is that Trump officials says Trump was the target here, but the guy was arrested in July of 2024 - which is when Biden was still in office.
It was a convenient misunderstanding about a call to the Palm Beach Sheriff. The FBI has a recording of the call, but probably ambiently from the Sheriff’s side. It’s a small ray of innocence for a guy like Trump. And he forgot all about it until by luck it was in the Epstein files.
Although the UAE and everyone else Iran has attacked may not have directly attacked Iran, they are hosting the American infrastructure making the attacks possible.
I can understand why Iran considers most gulf states complicit.
The OCI work mentioned upthread is about interface, not implementation.
Most people who think "Docker sucks" are talking about it's somewhat questionable network layer on Linux and the poor security isolation of the daemon. Non-docker alternatives like Podman don't have that characteristic.
But no one (at least no one reasonable) thinks Dockerfile's building docker images for download from docker-compatible repositories are a bad thing. That stuff runs the world. And the FreeBSD refusal to make a real attempt at interoperability is a confusing wart on what otherwise is pretty good tech.
> Docker sucks and only exists because after all these years, Linux STILL doesn’t have a great way to handle third party applications.
That's... not at all a correct characterization of where Docker found its purchase or what it's used for. Easy containerization dead-to-rights solved the version hell problem of shipping software at scale from vendors and upstreams that can't agree on dependency management. That's not something you can fiat away with "excellent ports and package systems" unless you imagine a world where literally every tiny microservice or cloud backend gadget ends up as a port in a single tree.
Basically you're saying "Docker sucks because I don't do anything that needs containers for anything but security". Well... yeah. I guess it would seem that way.
You are fixating on security. I use jails to keep my softwares separated, for the identical reasons use docker. Except jails is both lighter and much more secure, and I believe, easier to configure.
A couple years ago I was at the Virginia DMV along with about 50 other people doing DMV things when all of a sudden someone comes out from the back and gets in front of all the service windows and announces "The DMV is now closed for the day due to a computer problem. Please leave now."
Some of the people in that crowd had driven hours to get there.
That's why the person who made the coding error should have been disciplined.
2. The original version had a toggle for this, I dropped it to simplify development. Will return the feature for sure
3. I just trying to keep a record of sorts what the fuck is going on in the world. Originally it was more of a long form blog with original content. My plan is to have a mix with short news updates and long form opinion pieces.
Emiratis would describe themselves as a cohesive nation of Emiratis living under seven different Emirs. (There are many YouTube videos about it.) Emiratis from different Emirs do not view themselves as from different ethnicities/tribes/nations.
BTW -- My original post forgot to mention Kuwait as a cohesive nation.
Yes, I agree with you on this part, but the Emirs are very different places. I lived for two years in Dubai, not really by choice, I was sent on a three month assignment by my company that just got extended.
