Among field troops in Vietnam it became common knowledge that ingestion of a small amount of C-4 would produce a "high" similar to that of ethanol. Others would ingest C-4, commonly obtained from a Claymore mine, to induce temporary illness in the hope of being sent on sick leave.

Nope. Immigration is a process or an action, synonymous to 'movement', you cannot obtain it. You obtain a visa or a permit to perform immogration.

It really depends. One specific shop near my home has good quality frozen meat pancakes and dumplings. Yeah I have made dumplings by hand some 20 years ago, but those frozen ones are simply better. Maybe I can do some exotic dumplings with a buckwheat flour and a lot of eggs, but that would not necessarily be better, just different.

On the other hand, pasta sauce prepared from scratch will always taste better than store-bought one, mainly because the stores here only sell ketchup and mayo, and pretty much all pasta sauce here is some variety of tomato concentrate with a bit of carrots.

Most vector rendering libraries have options to disable all the fancy stuff like Javascript and external links. If you manage to find one that supports it in the first place. As for resource usage, the server sends image files without decoding, so whatever forkbomb you will manage to include into your SVG will only crash Lemmy clients, so, 'not our problem'. Maybe it will become a problem for the server when generating thumbnail image.

Torvalds kicked out a bunch of Russia-based kernel maintainers.

The security issue is very likely scenario. If you're in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

Yes they do. See the long-standing debate over the ban to export crypto algorithms to Iran.

Speed-wise, multiple processes and multiple threads should be identical, if you are using the same primitives (shared memory, system-wide semaphore).

Threads are easier to use and use less RAM, because all your memory is shared automatically, and system-wide semaphores have complicated API.

I've just copypasted URLs from your post so I could click them after Lemmy converts them to hyperlinks in my comment. But then you've copied the images directly, with extra explanation. I feel like this turned out to be bigger effort than necessary.

Anyway, my wife liked the centibus.

What about systemctl poweroff ?

I had the root canal done without an anesthesia, because I did not want a needle sticking into my gum.

It was tolerable, I did not cry or anything like. The nerve was mostly dead anyway.

The dentist took his sweet time removing the nerve piece by piece with a probe, instead of just drilling the whole tooth through. It did not matter at the end anyway, because he filled the canal afterwards. And the molar has three roots, so he repeated that two more times.

I guess it depends on your pain tolerance.
