    Sorry but reality and facts does not support your case:

    Robinson made clear that he was aware of the restrictions during the Facebook Live video, as well as the danger of being jailed.

    In May 2018, Robinson was sentenced to 13 months' imprisonment for contempt of court after publishing a Facebook Live video of defendants entering a law court, contrary to a court order to prevent reporting those trials while proceedings are ongoing.

    Not obeying a court order will get you sentenced in every single country on earth.

  5. I think that they foremost wanted a divided country. The more internal turmoil western countries are engaged in the more the leave Russia alone to do what they want (say invade Ukraine). This is why Russia funds every single alt-right movement in Europe right now, not because they believe in the same things but because these groups create political turmoil in their home countries.

  9. Could be. My kid brother bought a used monochrome green screen from a flea sale some 20 years ago and when we turned it on without it being connected to anything there was a 100% crisp green directory listing from a cp/m system :-)

  10. They where monochrome CRT display. If they would have inverted the color scheme that would mean full phosphor activation 24x7 which those old screens wouldn't live long under. That said I agree with you that the good old black background and light green text where far better than today:s blinding light themes.

    Basically the single problem that electronic voting solves is the performance of the vote calculations which is completely moot since in most elections the results will not kick in for several weeks or months and is then valid for 4 whole years so there exists no real reason to get a result "now".

    I read in "Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA" that the agents that they sent to various locations basically always had a complete lack of both the culture and language of the place they where supposed to "set up shop in". It's as if the agency didn't trust people with too much knowledge of the country they where supposed to spy on (aka if they know this much about Russia then they must be KGB agents).

  15. But their goal is not to spread propaganda. Their goal is to create chaos and instability, so they want to wind people up and not spread a specific message.

    That unit file is however not done by a "systemd guy", it's done by a mongodb guy. And from the small tests that I did with it before it also tends to be very bad at logging overall, e.g at error it logged that extra logging would be given if it was run without --fork but when I did that the mongod daemon logged just a single non-error log on error... So all the problems that you and others have with MongoDB is 100% MongoDB problems and the MongoDB devs should be ashamed of themselves.

    Now I know nothing about mongodb but I installed 4.0.1 in CentOS 7 and changed the user of /var/run/mongodb/ to root:root and when I launched mongo from the console with the mongod user (I could find no lock file, don't know if that is used in prior versions only or if that is something that have to be configured) but the error from mongod could be seen in the journal:

    If so then you should look at the unit file, chances are quite high that the idiot who wrote it launches mongod with say "--quiet" or similar that makes it not produce the output in the first place. Or they redirect stdout/stderr to some file at launch, or something else is happening. Mongod comes up very often when dropped logs are mentioned so there must be something very wrong with the mongod unit file.

  22. And just to get my hands on that sweet Completionist Achievement I have now also installed Ubuntu 16.04 Server in VirtualBox and besides the fucking stupid non-root user account creation that they have even though I will remove that user as soon as it reboots and login as root, it did (exactly like CentOS) have exactly zero instances of EULAs or anything to "agree" to. It just installed and rebooted into a login shell.

  23. I've installed every single version of Ubuntu since day one and have never ever had to agree to anything. CentOS I have been installed since CentOS 3 and again have never had to agree to anything there either. Fedora I've only installed once but did not have to agree on anything there either.

    Just for kicks I now launched VirtualBox and installed a iso of CentOS 7 that I had lying around. Did not have to agree to anything during the entire install, so where you have got this idea of yours from I have no idea.

    And in fact it would be extremely strange if it did happen since the GPL does not govern usage of the software in any way, shape or form. All it covers is distribution and the creation of derivative works.

    Oh and btw as I'm typing this the CentOS install completed and the virtual instance rebooted fully into the logon shell, so no no need to agree to anything on first boot either.

  24. I have never been asked to agree to the GPL when installing a Linux distro and I've been doing that since 1997. You don't have to do it in CentOS, you don't have to do it in Debian, you don't have to do it in Ubuntu, you don't have to do it in Gentoo so exactly which are those distros that you had to agree to the GPL?

    Please stop with the "dropped log messages" since this have never happened and cannot happen due to how systemd works. Damn it even catches everything written to stdout and stderr as well which makes it catch far more logs than syslog ever did.
