Hate to be a T-90 these days, seems FPV drones are out for blood. Also, great to see observation systems continue to be destroyed with some regularity.

The flanks of Bakhmut are death for Russian vehicles.

And pretty common state for the Orlan, a few captured earlier in the war weren’t in much better shape. Seems to be SOP in the Russian military to treat your equipment like shit.

How does that work? Some emails are just for setting up access to things and are never used. Like gaming accounts, verification purposes etc. You would lose access to stuff you regularly use because you can’t verify.

This would mean losing parts of your internet identity.

Hanging on by a thread

Streaming fell apart quickly, it’s so hard to find anything decent on most of them. It’s become clear they can’t curate new content as readily.

Everything is falling down:

• Google is dropping Reddit and Twitter from their searches.
• Twitter is throttling Tweets and you have to signin to view anything. Which would be crazy antivaxxer radicals, so not missing anything. No more free API use.
• YouTube is blocking you after 3 videos if you use an adblocker.
• Reddit has killed all 3rd party apps among API changes
• Now Gfycat is going, man that’s like most of the sites I used since a kid. Imgur seems to be around still at least.

And Pinterest. I want my quality searches back.

Yeah, I’m still torn between the old subs and lemmy. Most communities aren’t active or created here yet.

It’s posturing, they know they’ve been rehashing the same base vehicles since the Cold War. There aren’t many modern vehicles that match Western Standards. It’s worked for awhile but now the cats out of the bag.

I found one cyber security but they’re all still getting off the ground. Most are inactive over a week.

I fought in the Great Reddit Wars.

This is the high level insights needed, was curious how Ukraine was pushing across. Seems to be Russian doctrine to launch a counter offensive in answer no matter how suicidal. Losing Naval units will cause issues elsewhere.

It will be a gruelling fight for both sides. Small naval units have been battling each other since Kherson was captured. No successful amphibious landings at Kinburn Spit either. Best chance is that the Russians are trying to stabilise on several fronts and lack manpower.

This will be to Ukraine’s advantage if they can sieze the initiative and push out of the bridgehead. Onto more stable land and use engineers to get some bridge going.

How? His supporters are being purged by Pootin, assets being seized and lost support of many military allies. Throwing them under the bus tends to do that.

Here’s a summary:

Radars, antennas, surveillance both manned and unmanned observation posts, command and control centres, man portable radar systems (Anti mortar/artillery, strike guidance systems), ECM/jamming, tracked recovery vehicles, mine clearing equipment, pontoons/bridge layers and trench digging equipment.
