German security officials believe the Kremlin is laying the groundwork for a potential large-scale conventional war with NATO by the end of the decade in c/world@lemmy.world

Trump seems to be consolidating to focus on Iran (and it's allies) and China. He's not going to fight Europe. If anything, he'll try to get them to help by threatening NATO membership or something.

I don't think Russia has money either from all the sanctions. This all strikes me as extremely unlikely. They can't even get through Ukraine lol.

But maybe they're just exaggerating to justify war spending just in case.

Uh what... Why do you think Israel is able to block aid to Gaza, and stop their power, trash, food, water intake, and ability to travel?

It's because they never left. They've always been occupiers who have controlled their territory.

Is Torrent Galaxy doing okay? (lemm.ee)
 

Been out of the piracy scene for a bit, maybe about 6 months to a year, as I basically have been good with the streaming services I already sign up for. But this past week I've rebuilt my setup (my mini server died), and tested it by trying to torrent something yesterday just to make sure I still can, and I noticed Torrent Galaxy was down. Then I saw some articles that it's been down a lot lately. Does anyone know what's going on? Or was it fine and it was just something on my side, like a DNS issue?

I hope it's fine because that was the best public tracker I knew. For example, the show I was looking for to test my setup with couldn't be found on 1337x (TPB ended up coming through but I don't trust that site as much as I used to). Are they really cracking down on public tracker indexes right now? Have any good alternatives popped up yet? Is there anything we as a community can do to get around or resist these efforts?

I'm not even a diehard pirate, I like the efficiency and user friendliness of paid services or products, I just like it to be an option when I want to punish companies for customer unfriendliness (ex: I stopped paying for Netflix when they prevented sharing outside of household), and without public trackers the hobby feels too niche and exclusive.

Oh don't worry, the parts of the government that benefit the rich and corporations I'm sure they will find a way to salvage.
