This is something I’ve felt we’ve needed for a long time, but cloudscalers have their own environments that include resource management and beyond dev, if anything goes wrong they either reboot the net image or offline it for maintenance.
This is something I’ve wanted to throw together, will give it a try soon, could even be useful for development.
Yeah, it is.
But I don’t know what to tell you, the term predates the nazis by quote a bit.
They adopted it, but it was known from the age of dragoons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_troops
The sacred band of thebes were considered shock troops, and I’d suggest that’s closer to what the Russian idiots meant.
But I also wouldn’t be surprised if they were just copying the nazis without knowing.
A storm trooper is a member of storm troops, also called shock troops, which are trained for sudden assaults. They carried out attacks in World War I and in World War II, and they were a politica militia of the Nazi party (see Sturmabteilung or Brownshirts). The English storm troops is a direct translation of the German Sturmtruppen.

They were called storm troopers because they were the ones who stormed trenches during an assault.
It wasn’t considered a bad thing then, they were considered the elite.
Sturmtruppen was the German word for ‘assault troops’, much like sturmgewehr is their word for ‘assault rifle’ which was adopted by everyone else.
It means troops to storm a position, the heaviest troops for assaults.
We’d call them assault forces, or honestly, just marines (amphibious assault corps).
Hitler had a bunch of paramilitary followers (think Trump and his Jan 6 crowd) called the sturmabteilingen (sp?), which translated to storm troopers, because he thought it sounded impressive.
He later betrayed and murdered them, to curry favor with the army, which is so Hitler.
He’s a Midwestern republican, it’s less bad there and they can keep deniability that people are so insane.
A lot of the worst of this spread from the dixiecrats when they joined the GOP, what’s tragic is how Midwesterners keep convincing themselves that this is just normal politics and not the legacy of Jim Crow racism run amok.
The exact number of executions carried out in China is not publicly disclosed, as the country treats execution data as a state secret. However, human rights organizations estimate that China executes more people annually than the rest of the world combined.
According to estimates by organizations like Amnesty International, the number of executions in China is believed to be in the thousands each year, but precise figures are difficult to verify.

At least our statistics are available…
Have nginx for all my reverse proxies, it wasn’t trivial, but I used it for a lot of other things so it’s fine.
I back it up manually to encrypted json, it’s not the right way, but I never had much of a proper backup system, other than zfs snapshots and occasionally mirroring to another zfs pool.
It’s not a lot of extra work once you have the rest of your apps running, it’s fairly low maintenance and mostly just works, but again I haven’t bothered with backups really.
Edit: Running most if not all my services on freebsd as jails, that might have made it easier.
Riddle me this:
I never look online for game hints, I played ER for a while, got frustrated.
Looked at hints, they explained how you get tempest like it was the most obvious thing in the game to sleep in the church after level 5.
Wtf?!?!?!
I hate from soft games because they seem to expect you to look online.
Yes, it’s a shame, but tbf Israelis really freaked out after Oct 7 and now see threats everywhere.
There was a strong supporting reaction at first, but then the Israelis started saying some dark things and some people are starting to feel an awkward vibe.
Hamas needs to be rooted out, it’s just a lot of Israelis seem to see all gazans as hamas now, which is problematic, and lash out with “antisemitism!” When people try to deescalate.
Have my main server back home, while I’m traveling I have a script to reencode to av1 onto my local machine, works beautifully and the quality drop isn’t too bad (colors look weird but think that’s the Intel xe encoder)
