There are also all season tires (marked M+S I think) that work through all the year but not particularly well in any season. The problem with changing tires is winter tires life span which is typically 5 years. Thus if you don't drive much, you end up disposing not much used ones every 5 years resulting in ecological and financial problems.

    The cases you mention are pre WW2.

    Basically if others are doing it, it's fine if even more war crimes are committed. Got it.

    BTW US, UK and Germany (+others) are not only arming, they are wholeheartedly enabling Palestine genocide.

    Why the heck would Russia care about internal coup in Ukraine? Democratic referendum on secession is legal only when a) it's lawfully executed and b) the territory is not annexed but rather it is independent. Shelling civilians is subject to international law and not some ground for an illegal war and annexations. Again. Annexation in any form or shape is against international law. So is an illegal war.

    If Russia annexed them it doesn't mean it was legal or legit move. It is against international law, against Minsk agreement and even Putin himself told many times that he doesn't have problem with Ukraine and its borders. But then again, he said there will be no invasion days before ... invasion. Russian invasion and land grab has no legal base, it's just a nuclear country abusing its power and abusing weakness of the west and US and other western lackeys.

    I'm going to move away from Windows into Linux and have some strategical questions, among others how do you handle backups/restore and how do you switch distros.

    There are two main questions (in case of catastrophic failure or transition):

    1. How do you reinstall your apps? I'm considering ansible for that - have all my installs (as much as possible) done through ansible playbooks.
    2. How do you recover your backup data? Just copy from backup to home directory probably won't do when it comes to a different distro, or? Here I'm considering doing ZFS snapshosts (ZFS pool/datasets would be used for my home directory) to my backup server but not sure how to recover it in case of switching to a different distro. It should be copy in the case of system restoration I guess.

    Any other recommendations?

     

    Did anybody manage to drive three 4K@60 displays with just the iGPU of a 9900X or forthcoming X3D? The displays should be all DP or HDMI, but not a mix, so a KVM switch can be used. From what I see, mobos have at best two USB4 ports that each could drive 2 DP displays. In theory, that is. While CPU should be able to drive three such displays. I'm not into gaming or such, just need displays for development and want to avoid unnecessary discrete GPU and it's power draw if possible.

     

    Hopeful Jonas recovered after all the injuries, but I somehow doubt it that he'll be at 100% after those injuries without much time to recover. While I'm rooting for PogRog, I fear a repeat of Giro, where Pog dominated and made it boring to watch. Or perhaps Remco will kick in, but then again he was also injured and didn't do well at Dauphine. What's you take?

     

    Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.
