A series of quiet moves, first by Trump, and now by Biden, have produced a humanitarian crisis throughout Cuba.
  • Ha yes, the US, famous for... Let me check me notes here.... Giving a shit about dictators... Like Pinochet, Saddam in the 80s before he became a hindrance, Cuba's Fulgencia Batista before the revolution, Park Chun Hee, Ferdinand Marcos, Humberto Branco, Jean Claude Duvalier, Shah Mohammed Reza, Anastasio Somoza (Sr/Jr), and on and on and on...

    Yes that must be why!

    And why exactly is Cuba backed by Russiathe Soviet Union?...

  • UN extends Haiti security mission for another year as violence soars
  • Still, dealing with gang control is crucial, so any positive steps are better than none.

    I'm sure I know of one thing that would help... Hear me out here, this is pretty far fetched.... Is if the west stop destabilizing them every ten years by assassinating Haitian leaders.

  • The Dislike to Ubuntu
  • You can still select just those packages out of their repos. Obviously that can get tedious if there are a lot of them. But that's pretty rare and at that point it's worth asking, is that software really worth it? Is there a better installation method? Could it live in a cheoot/container?

    But that's not just in the Apt world, any system wide install would behave like that.

  • The Dislike to Ubuntu
  • It does not block proper updates. You might be thinking of held packages that's not the same thing at all. It isn't hard to figure out what you want to pin, you can just pin a hole third party repository at -1 except the specific package(s) you want to install and then there's no chance of that repository overriding a package from the distro's repository.

  • How Jill Stein could derail Democrats again
  • Instead of focusing on the thousands that are further left than you, maybe you should try to convince the millions that aren't. But hey that would be far more democratic and wouldn't be helpful to the status quo would it now....

  • Physical keyboard for alarm
  • I've not seen a single ZigBee keypad. Some WiFi ones but that's trickier to get working without the cloud. There are also no generic ZigBee tuya keypad listed on the Z2M device list, which leads me to believe there isn't any I have missed.

  • Physical keyboard for alarm
  • Ah you just meant "things" not keypads. I was asking specifically about keypads.

    Yeah I have a ton of generic tuya ZigBee devices, they work great. So far only real complaint is bulbs that act as repeaters, they really shouldn't since they can be turned off at the switch.

  • How do I make my own internet?
  • Take two wireless access points, connect them together, tada, you have an internet....

    The thing is "the internet" is really only the sum of its parts, it's interconnectivity is what gives its intrinsic value.

    Canadian Embassy Damaged by IDF strike on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus.

    I'm sure our fearless, strong back, foreign affairs minister will have strongly worded statements about a foreign state carrying an airstrike NEXT DOOR to one of our embassies and likely damaging it. Right? Right?....
