how sad they really think they can stand up the machinery behind him (military industrial complex, Pentagon + current administration), 4 years ago, maybe, now... delusional...

what is a photon?

is the smallest discrete amount or quantum of electromagnetic radiation. It is the basic unit of all light.

Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum, travel at a constant speed to all observers of 2.998 x 108 m/s. This is commonly referred to as the speed of light, denoted by the letter c.

funny how throughout the little history we know, symbols are taken and used, later on, if those symbols were used by bad people the negative attachment stays, which is absurd, samples of that as this cross or a swastika, which is as old as 3000 BCE, deeply rooted in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, where it is used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality, now the westerns with no knowledge of this believe was a European creation...

joke aside, it is a good question...

how the EU block will react?

if history serves, the EU will bend the knee, again, more over now, after their incompetent leadership decided to support a set of sanctions shooting themselves in their foot, destroying their economy and having the union in what it looks like, a perpetual conflict and disagreement... This will be interesting to watch...

so, openly bullying smaller countries that have strategic resources, with the excuse of national.security,...

dangerous move, What will stop China or Russia from doing the same?

crazy times, let's hope common sense prevails

the double VPN is not advised in the article, it is a consequence of the proposed OpSec.

I recommend a VPN installed in the router itself, thus, when at home, everyone is browsing and communicating with the VPN layer of security.

I stated to have one in your mobile as well, thus, when you are in the road you will browse safer, the double VPN happens when at home, if you don't turn off the one on the mobile you will be connecting with two hops, which will reduce your throughput but with current Internet speeds you should barely notice in most cases...

many VPN services provide multi hops as an added security, I personally do not see the appealing unless you are a targeted journalist or similar that requires additional security to potential IP discovery...

bear in mind that VPNs with no KYC are helpful but there are not a perfect safety cyber security net as many believe.

VPNs are good because they mask your IP address and encrypt your data from the ISP provider or mobile network provider and encrypt your DNS requests so the ISP can't log nor know what sites are you visiting.

When on the road while connecting to public networks is a good practice as well to avoid men in the middle attacks (MITM).

for #chess lovers

chess, a game that fascinate so many since it's creation in India in the 6th century had few interesting changes throughout history

Here few of the most known ones:

6th Century: in India the game was called chaturanga, which represented the four parts of the Indian army: chariots, elephants, cavalry, and infantry.

Persian Influence: The Persians adopted the game and renamed the pieces, including the counselor (farzin) who was a male figure and moved one square diagonally.

European Transformation: In Europe, the counselor was reimagined as a queen (regina) around the 990s, but it still retained its limited movement.

Spain: in 1475: The chess queen’s power was enhanced. The tale says that Isabella was angry at the game because the queen was limited and her comments were taking to heart in the court changing the queen movement rules to make it the most agile and lethal piece in the game.

1495: The current rules of chess were established, allowing the queen to move in all directions on the board.
