For a file server-only oriented board look no further than X10SDV-2C-7TP4F. I wish I’d bought it instead of the version I have now.

Very low power, 22 SATA ports (of which 2 are SATADOM), etc. You’re really unlikely to outgrow it as a file server.

My system
Modified Lian Li A76 case with SuperMicro X10SDV-7TP4F with 128GB of ECC RAM and a Z3 pool consisting of eight HGST 10TB HE10 drives, three 1.6TB S3610 Intel SSDs for the sVDEV, mirrored 64GB SuperMicro SATADOM boot drives, a 1TB Samsung 860-series mSATA L2ARC, and a Intel P4801x Optane SLOG, onboard SFP+ with MM fiber, riding the TrueNAS CORE 13.x stable train @ 106 W/hr.

The most likely system used here was the S-200, which first appeared in 1967 and was steadily upgraded over the years. Ukraine retired its S-200 batteries in 2013 but reactivated them in 2022. The system was designed to engage SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft and was nuclear-capable. //

one of the advances this war has brought about is that older SAMs are networked to state-of-the-art radar. The Patriot's radar can control S-300 and S-400 in addition to Patriot.

1. First, open PuTTy.
2. For “Host Name” enter the domain name or IP address of the server that will act as the proxy.
3. From the “Category” section on the left, scroll to “Connection” > “SSH” > “Tunnels”.
4. Enter the local port you want to use for the proxy connection in the “Source port” field. A common choice is “8080”.
5. Assuming you picked 8080 for the port, then enter “localhost:8080” (without quotes) as the destination. This tells PuTTY to listen to data sent to it on port 8080 from the same computer putty is running on, and forward it to the remote server.
6. Where it says “Forwarded ports”, select “Dynamic”. This enables the SOCKS protocol.
7. Now click “add”.
8. Go back to the “Session” option in the left panel. Type in a name for this connection under the “Saved Sessions” text box.
9. Now click the “Save” so you’ll be able to open the connection later without repeating these steps again.
10. Almost done! Just click the “Open” button.

While some depict the Bible’s Passover meal and Jews’ Exodus from Egypt as a fable, archeological and other evidence squares with the Bible’s account.

It’s unthinkable that an emergency legal challenge had to be mounted to gather in peace in the political heart of Europe. 

While I’m sitting there shooting the sh*t, a call comes in. We, the US, have Osama bin Laden in our sights in Afghanistan. We had military and CIA assets surrounding bin Laden’s camp and we were ready to pull the trigger to kill the terrorist. Sandy Berger, the NSC advisor, was on the horn asking us to get Clinton on the line in the residence and get the approval. //

We only had a few hours during the night in Afghanistan or we’d have to scrub the mission. This was the fall of 1997 (the timing is hugely important).

Unbelievably, after several attempts, we couldn’t get Clinton to answer the phone in the residence. //

After approximately two hours, Clinton finally responded. Of course, he wanted to chat with the SecDef, SecState, and AG. Ultimately, those clowns decided not to shoot based on concerns for “international law.” We did nothing and our assets on the ground were forced to exfiltrate in a very dangerous situation. //

A few months later, bin Laden and Al-Qaeda bombed two American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people and wounding more than 4,500.

A few years later, bin Laden launched 9/11, killing 3,000 people. It’s all Clinton’s fault. I personally know that to be true.

While Israeli media are talking about the "Rampage" air-launched cruise missile, the range of that missile is a fraction of that needed to hit Isfahan without overflight, including refueling, of Syrian and Iraqi airspace. //

So my initial gut feeling was correct, it was not UAVs. The IAF carried out a standoff attack from Syrian airspace with Sparrow, likely Blue Sparrow, air-launched ballistic missiles released from F-15Is.

Booster wreckage was recovered in Iraq //

@John_A_Ridge
Clarification: based on input from @orfialkov, this wreckage may be from Rocks specifically.

Rocks is the purpose-designed ALBM derivative of Sparrow produced by Rafael. This would expand the potential launch platforms from F-15A/B Baz and F-15I Ra’am to include F-16I Sufa.

The message sent was clear. Israel doesn't need to launch hundreds of weapons that violate the airspace of neighboring countries. Israel can cut its way through what passes for an air defense system in Iran and dump ballistic missiles on a very specific target deep in Iran. Thursday, that target was an S-300 surface-to-air missile system. Tomorrow, it may be something a little more precious.

Was the message received? I think so.
...
Khameini didn't mention Israel's counterattack.

Message received.

A little-discussed detail in the Lavender AI article is that Israel is killing people based on being in the same Whatsapp group [1] as a suspected militant [2]. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it?

The veracity of their statements is of little import, mainly because their commentary is entirely detached from reality. What is clear is that the vote on the Ukraine aid package shook Kremlin insiders. That is what we should pay attention to for two reasons. First, the aid package is large enough that they are panicked, and second, they obviously thought the fix was in. The second item is something we should ponder. Are they getting their political intelligence from alt-right US social media accounts, or do they own someone who is telling them that?

Indeed, some seemed to think that Ukraine was the 51st state, with Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA) even declaring that while “Some say, well, we have to deal with our border first. The Ukrainian Russian border is OUR border!" That's how off the rails these folks are now. //

If Connolly wasn't enough, you also had Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) with an unreal move. I'm not sure how he has the number of Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines, but here he is, allegedly calling them, telling them they were going to get the money. //

Where's his call to our Border Patrol agents, saying they are going to provide real security for the border? Whoops, sorry, money for Ukraine is their priority. Where is their excitement and desire to defend America? Can we talk about how disgusting these folks are? They celebrate taking your money, waving it in your face. //

Reports from Israeli media indicate that U.S. State Department officials have confirmed that it is preparing to sanction the Israeli Defense Forces' Netzah Yehuda battalion, marking the first time the U.S. government has targeted an IDF unit directly and sparking immediate opposition from Israeli political leaders, including Netanyahu.

The Netzah Yehuda battalion, part of the Kfir brigade, was established in 1999 to accommodate recruits from ultra-Orthodox and national religious communities, including those from reportedly "extremist settlements." It has historically been primarily deployed in the West Bank. //

This is a textbook case of Congressional capture. With a single briefing, the intelligence agencies routinely transform their most strident critics into the tamest of cheerleaders. //

Scott Adams:

If I correctly understand our system of government, when a president or leader in the Congress gets into office, someone in the CIA pulls them aside for “the talk” and completely changes their priorities.

The public is then told the leaders now have secret knowledge the public can never know.

But the leader has no way of knowing the “secret” information is true and in context.

That puts the secret-keepers in firm control of the government’s big decisions. If the secret-keepers agree with a government policy, they stay out of it. If they disagree with a policy, they say the UFOs will attack — or some other unverifiable thing — and by the way, we have recordings of every phone call you ever made, and scare the leaders into compliance.

Right in front of us. None of this is secret. //

I will splinter the CIA into ab thousand pieces and scatter them to the winds. -- JFK

JFK had sworn to get rid of the CIA and the Deep State but unfortunately, they got rid of him first. Remember that Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said that President Donald Trump was “being really dumb” by taking on the intelligence community over its fake Russia narrative. He's probably repeated that same sentiment to Mike Johnson, who rightly interpreted it as a credible threat.

“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer had told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. What Chucky really meant was that he knows that the Deep State controls everything, including the Fake News narrative, but unlike President Trump, he's far too cowardly to ever try to do anything about it. #Trump2024 #VOTE
